Reviews computerised

Since there exist several recent accounts and reviews about the different programs (see references cited, specially [2]), in the next few pages we give a detailed description of our miniprograms CHAOS (Computerisation and Heuristics Applied to Organic Synthesis) and CHAOSBASE, copies of which are included in this book. 

Bek T. Diabetic retinopathy a review of the aarhus approach to studies on epidemiology, computerised grading, and the pathophysiology of the disease. Horm Metab Res. 2005 37(suppl 1) 35—38. 

Commercial data systems are now available for all the principal GC-MS instruments although a number of independent centres have developed their own systems to suit individual requirements [44]. These range from low cost off-line systems to dedicated mini computers linked to time-shared central computers. Many of these systems are in advance of commercial packages but the different capabilities of their configurations are outside the scope of this article. (For a review of computerised data acquisition and handling see [45]). However it is useful to consider some of the hardware components and requirements of a small on-line computer system (Figure 1.8) for low resolution GC-MS work. 

It is expected that the results of research will be carefully recorded in a form that will allow continuous and future access for analysis and review. Attention should be given to annotating and indexing notebooks and documenting computerised information to facilitate detailed review of data. All data, even from observations and experiments not directly leading to publication, should be annotated, indexed, and documented." ... 

Note that the values in Table IV-1 and Table IV-2 may contain more digits than those listed in either [89COX/WAG] or in the discussions on auxiliary data selection of NEA-TDB reviews, because the data in the present chapter are retrieved directly from the computerised data base and rounded to three digits after the decimal point throughout. 

As can be seen from the electrochemical journals and the literature, computers have not been applied to problems in fundamental electrochemistry in any significant way, although the problems are virtually identical to those encountered in the computerisation of spectroscopic techniques. A recent review of fundamental electrode kinetics and instrumentation, for example [6], is similar in content to a review of more than ten years earlier [7]. 

The treatment of numeric information is currently an area of substantial and rapid development. Activity in this field has been comprehensively reviewed 26) by Codata, a Committee set up by the International Council of Scientific Unions to coordinate developments. This review covers both computerised and non-computerised systems, but Codata also has a task group dealing specifically with automated information handling and this has also recently reported on the state of the art 27). 

Other areas of inspection focus include sampling protocols, in process controls and specifications, further guidance on the quality of data, computerised systems (more details will be given in the next section), and laboratory management to determine the overall GMP compliance of the facility. This latter area would include supervisory control and review and personnel qualifications and training. 

We will here focus on another important advantage of computerisation, i.e. the support it offers the SHE analyst in making queries and in the application of different expert tools. We will start by looking into the principles for establishment of a database on accidents and near accidents. We will then proceed by reviewing various methods and tools for retrieving, analysis and presentation of data from such a database. 

AME publishes a series of analytical and statistical reports, and offers several computerised database services. These include regular reviews of the Australian mining industry, and detailed and comprehensive World Analytical Commodity Yeaiixtoks, covering a range of metals and minerals, including lead and zinc. 

Since programming errors may propagate, errors during development can be a serious problem for computerised system. This can be reduced to a problem of how to achieve the reliability of software through the development process. The idea is that it might be easier to review and validate the various phases of the development process, which in the software case is a purely intellectual process, then validate the end product with all its complexity when it is complete.
