Screen similarity data

Differential thermal analysis (DTA) Chemical testing technique that produces similar data to DSC. DTA uses temperature differences to generate test results DSC has largely replaced the DTA technique as a screening tool for obtaining chemical hazard test data... 

At a minimum, the OECD s Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) should be available. The SIDS is a list of data elements similar to those which governments in most OECD countries require from industry before a new chemical can be marketed. It includes information on the chemical s identity, its physical and chemical properties, the indications on exposure and use, its environmental fate and how the chemical might be disseminated in the environment, as well as toxicological data. All of these data elements are... 

Data obtained on a jet fuel spiked with 20 and 100 ng of metal per gram appear in Table 3.III. At the 100-ng/g level, the recovery is within 25% of the amount added. Similar data obtained on crude oil indicate recovery of approximately 50%. Some elements which may be present in high concentration in the ash, such as nickel and vanadium, cause difficulty in interpretation of the spectrum. Nevertheless, this technique is useful as a screening procedure to identify the presence or absence of certain elements at trace levels before more extensive analysis. 

Spectrophotometric devices, called microplate readers, collect raw data resulting from colorimetric or fluorescent screens. Similarly, scintillation devices measure the amount of radioactivity in samples from drug screens. The computer format of the data will then allow it to be exported into a spreadsheet or statistical analysis computer program for analysis. 

A new approach to similarity data fusion, based on belief theory, yields some interesting methods for performing ligand-based screening. The best... 

The data show that SSIMS can be used as a tool for characterizing the different steps in the production of biosensors, or even for sequencing. Similarly, SSIMS can be used to solve a variety of problems in bioanalytical chemistry, e. g. screening of combinatorial libraries, characterizing Langmuir-Blodgett layers, etc. 

Another method is a series of exhaust dilution equations based on Wilson and Lamb " and a series of earlier papers summarized in ASHRAE. This method is based on wind tunnel tests on simplified buildings and is intended to provide conservative (low dilution) results. Wilson and Lamb compared the model to actual field data collected at a university campus and found that the model did indeed predict dilutions similar to measured worst-case dilutions suitable for a screening model. However, many cases resulted in conservative Linderpredictions of dilutions. ... 

Surrogate screening (utilizing similar but not exact therapeutically relevant targets) can lead to dissimulation in screening data, especially for allosteric molecules. For this reason, frequent reality testing with a therapeutically relevant assay is essential.
