Organic fine chemicals -it's more than chemistry
^ Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (CRC Press, $149, circle 301) provides the 79th edition on CD-ROM. Annual updates are available by subscription. The 1999 handbook covers a broad range of information, including the periodic table, geophysical data, aqueous solubility of organic compounds, global temperature trends, electron affinities, line spectra of elements, and basic constants and units. The OROM requires Windows 95 or higher.
^ ATSDR (CRC Press, $399, circle 302) covers 130 toxicological profiles from the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry. Annual updates of the CD-ROM are available by subscription. The profiles include toxicological, environmental, and epidemiological data; information about the mitigation of health effects; and physical properties. The product is compatible with Windows 3.1 or higher.
^ DQO-PRO (American Chemical Society, free, circle 303) calculates the number of samples needed to provide analytical data based on desired confidence levels and other factors. The software can be downloaded at http;//www.acs-envchem.duq.edu.
• Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (Physics Academic Software, prices start at $125, circle 304) provides an interactive tutorial for students learning to use an oscilloscope. The software employs graphics and animation to teach students about the in
ner workings and use of the device. The program comes with review questions and skill measurement features and runs on Macintosh or Windows 3.1 or higher.
• DataExpert (Technical Database Services, $5,000 annual fee, circle 305) can supply users who perform modeling, simulation, and process engineering and design with thermophysical property data drawn from a database at Texas A&M University's Thermodynamics Research Center. The program can generate predicted values when measured values aren't available. DataExpert also provides each data point's degree of uncertainty. The CD-ROM is compatible with Windows 95 and INT.
^ BackTrack 4.1 (StrandWare, prices start at $749, circle 306) is a customizable program that can track an item historically or in real time with the use of bar codes, scanners, and a PC. Applications include work-in-progress in a manufacturing environment, documents in an office, or outgoing shipments in a distribution center.
• Accord 3.0 (Synopsys Scientific Systems; $695, $417 academic; circle 307) works in tandem with Microsoft Excel 97 as a chemical spreadsheet. The program manages, analyzes, and searches chemical "objects" and associated data within spreadsheets while retaining their chemical characteristics. Examples include structures and reactions.
^ Fluent 5.0 and Gambit 1.0 (Fluent Inc., pricing available from company, circle 308) can be used to model computational fluid dynamics applications. Engineers can use the software to build a computer model of a design and simulate fluid flow (including turbulence), heat transfer, and chemical reactions. The simulated designs can then be tested and optimized on the computer. The software is compatible with UNIX or PC platforms.
• Drama (QuantiSci, pricing available from company, circle 309) provides engineers with a mechanism to record their expert knowledge and decision-making rationales. The program records decisions made, alternatives considered, and the reasoning involved. The software improves process design and operations by serving as a repository for corporate memory and as a way to apply knowledge to future projects.
• NuGenesis (Mantra Software, pricing available from company, circle 310) is a data management system that collects scientific information from diverse sources into a central database accessible throughout a corporation. NuGenesis can accept and integrate input gathered via instrumentation, lab applications, and popular software applications. The software runs in Windows 95 or NT environments.
