It repre- sents a reasonably effective solution of an inherent problem in the reference information field. The problem itself is so deceptively simple that its statement seems almost a truism: a specific bit of objective data commonly termed a "fact" is useful information - - only when and if it is accessible. The greater the number of facts, the greater the dif- ficulty of accessibility. Today, the total sum of human knowledge includes an almost in- finite number of facts, and the number continues to expand with each moment of human experience. The only feasible method of coping with a quantitative problem of this magnitude is to create an organizational structure which identifies and then classifies the individual facts according to logical or meaningful divisions, subdivisions, and sub-subdivisions, etc. In utilizing this method, we collect a large number of facts which are, in some manner, related to each other or related to some common subject, and make these facts available in book format. To further enhance the convenience of the process, the book is divided into sections usually called chapters; the chapters into paragraphs; and the paragraphs into sentences. Finally, for the rapid location of a specific fact within this structure, we provide an index which is a list of facts organized by alphabetical sequence. In the reference information field, which may be appropriately defined as the col- lection, storage, and distribution of facts, the volume index has proven to be a practical and effective device to provide convenient accessibility to the fact content within the volume. However, the publication of multivolume series, particularly in science and medicine, has created a new dimension to the problem of accessibility. Each volume within the series may contain facts which are relevant to a subject which appears in more than one volume. This, in turn, necessitates checking the index of each volume; but the larger the series, the greater the inconvenience of checking the index of each volume. The obvious solution is to alphabetically merge all individual volume indexes into a single series index. As is often the case, a good idea is simple in concept but the imple- mentation is difficult and complicated. In the production of this Series Index volume, it was necessary to establish viable principles f ~trhe merging of "three-tier" indexes; develop a coding system and computer program which would perform the actual task of merging; and finally to invest an enormous amount of dedicated and diligent man- hours to review and proofread the computer output to assure an acceptable level of quality and accuracy. We are fully aware that this volume, which is the first Cumulative Series Index for the CRC Handbook of Environmental Control, will not meet our objectives in all re- spects. Hopefully, as we continue to acquire know-how in this specialized and rather sophisticated endeavor, assisted by comments and recommendations from users, tuture cumulative indexes will improve in quality and content. We are confident, however, that this volume is of great significance not only because it is a first effort, but even more, because it provides the world scientific community with convenient access to a large data base in the field of environmental control. B. J. Starkoff President INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PART I: SUBJECT ENTRIES Part I is a straightforward merging of the indexes of all five volumes of the Series. In the sample tiered entry that follows, the volume number is in bold-face type; it is followed by a colon and the page number in regular type: Azurin amino acid composition, complete data, 07: 505 amino acid sequence, 07: 498 average hydrophobicity value, 01: 2 15 circular dichroism in near-UV region, at room tempera- ture, 07: 144 cyanogen bromide cleavage, 02: 199 luminescence of, table, 01: 205 molar absorpt~vitya nd-or absorbance values, 02: 399 molecular weights, stoichiometry and sources, 02: 282 PART 11: CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES ENTRIES Part I1 of the Environmental Control Index does require some special "getting-used-to" by the user in order that he may take advantage of the vast amount of information provided by the computer. New sections have been created that were not in the previous indexes. In the sample tiered entry that follows, the center dot indicates where the (@) primary word originally occurred in the subject index entry: Receptor acetylcholine average hydrophobicity value, 01: 210 acetylcholine protein circular dichroism in the UV region, 07: 82 lipopolysaccharides circular dichroism in the UV region, 07: 109 In other words, a new section of information ("Receptors") has been created by corn- puter analyses of the original subject entries of the handbook indexes. The word "receptor" did not occur as a primary entry in any of the previous books. Similarly, existing sections of the subject index have been expanded by this computer search of the data base. It is clear that some problems will have arisen in the creation of this new informa- tion bank. 1. Singular and Plural Entries: Because the original indexes often included a term in both the singular and the plural forms, the Environmental Control Index may have two separate blocks of entries about that term (for example, "Amino acid" and "Amino acids"). Please check both singular and plural forms of any chemical substance. 2. See and See also Cross-references: It is obvious that a merged index of many books may need extra cross-references that were not required in the separate volumes themselves. For this reason, See and See also cross-references have been added, but the user is encouraged to exercise his ingenuity in searching for all possible cross- references. 3. Alphabetical Order of Entries: The use of the computer to create this section has caused certain peculiarities in the interfiling of merged entries from the eight volumes. Specifically, two problems must be understood by the user of this index. a. Compound Word Entries: The computer has delineated three discrete sections for each compound entry terms with a compound as a double word having - a hyphen between the words, terms with a compound as a double word having a space between the words, and terms with a compound as a merged double word. An example of this follows: I methyl ester UV spectra of, 01: 193 N-Acetyl-DL-tryptophan double word methyl ester UV spectra, 01: 192 tryptophan; methyl ester, UV spectra of, 01: 192 with hypen N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, UV spectra, 01: 194 ethyl ester anion, UV spectra, 01: 195 Acetyl CoA synthetase ~&ros~ocrraa ssa mutant, 04: 744 Acetyl hexosamine content of, in glyco-proteins, 02: 258-274 molar extinctions; of aromatic amino acids, cystine and N-acetylcysteine, 01: 186 N-acetyl methyl esters double word amino acids;.~ab~so rption characteristics, of with space aromatic types, cystine and N-acetylcysteine, 01: 186 I Acetyl ornithine transferase Neurospora crassa mutant, 04: 745 N-Acetylalanine I physical and chemical properties, 01: 148 8-2-Acetylamino-2-deoxy-D-glucosiadcee tylamino- deoxyglucohydrolase merged enzymatic reactions, velocity and parameters, table, 05: 430-433 double word N-Acetylarginine physical and chemical properties, 01: 132 Because of this computer "peculiarity" the user will have to check compound terms in all three sections, especially when looking for compounds in such major groups as "Acetyl," "Keto," "Methyl," and "Poly." b. Chemical Prefixes: Because the computer is programmed to ignore chemical prefixes in italics, it does not always ignore other prefixes and so may alpha- betize terms under such prefixes as "30s" while ignoring such descriptive prefixes as "c" in a term like "c-reactive." The sample below shows this problem: Protein (continued) quaternary structure of a molecule, definition, 02: 77 quaternary structure of molecule, definition, 01: 73 incorrect filing under "R" -+ R17 coat- amino acid composition, complete data, 07: 510 correct filing under "reactive"+c-reactive molar absorptivity and-or absorbance values, 02: 409 subunit, constitution of, 02: 337 red- amino acid composition, complete data, 07: 510 molar absorptivity and-or absorbance values, 02: 505 retinol-binding average hydrophobicity value, 01: 230 circular dichroism UV and near UV region, 07: 12 1, 160 human, amino acid composition, 02: 303 molar absorptivity and-or absorbance values, 02: 505 optical rotatory dispersion in the UV region, 07: 121 properties of, 02: 304 riboflavin-binding average hydrophobicity value, 01: 231 RNA, see Nucleic acids, Transfer RNA, TRNA (TRNA); (wt %) in ribosomes from various sources, 04: 472 RNA, see Nucleic acids, Transfer RNA, TRNA (TRNA); viral; code word table for the coat gene, 04: 340 incorrect filing under "S"- 30s ribosomal amino acid composition, incomplete data, 07: 514 spectrophotometric determination, concentration, short-wavelength UV, 08: 197 sulfate-binding amino acid composition, complete data, 07: 510 One major section in this index, "TRNA" (filed under "T"), was caused by such a computer eccentricity. The same set of instructions occasionally led the computer to alphabetize the italicized names of biological species under the first letter of a trivial word in the entry rather than the name itself. Therefore, the user will have to check compounds both with and without prefixes to find out if the term he is looking for is present in a "peculiar" place. c. Solid Deltas (A): The solid delta (A) is used to indicate special characters for which no computer equivalent was available. Generally, the delta in an entry signifies left or right square brackets ([ 1) or a center dot The reader may (@). check the original index to determine what the delta stands for in any entry. These are the only major problems associated with this index. Certain minor problems exist; however, they are minor and should pose no real difficulty for the user.
