Buying time on a computer can frequently eliminate the need for direct acquisition of expensive hardware and a supporting staff, while still providing the required data processing support. (Author)

a look at computer simulation, which belies a methodological distinction and is a relatively new approach to the study and further understanding of complex entities and situations. (Author)

A look at the ALOHA SYSTEM research project at the University of Hawaii, which developed and built a computer-communication network based upon the use of UHF radio broadcast channels for console to computer and computer to computer communication. (Author)

A single computer is used for instruction in data processing and business methods and in such administrative functions as class scheduling and grading. (Author)

The experiences in developing current awareness services for selective dissemination of information from Chemical Abstracts'' Condensates data base are described. File standardization, the weighted-term method of searching, and the algorithm used to perform the search on the CDC 6600 computer and a user survey are discussed. (2 references)…

A storage and retrieval system for chemical structures, using optical coincidence, is in use at Schering Corp. The system rapidly provides the research laboratories with structural information at any generic level. The design, maintenance, costs, and applications are discussed. (4 references) (Author)

A computer system, named CORA, has been devised for coding chemical structures by fragmentation elements. It has been used to encode Markush formulas in patents according to the Ring codes used in the Ringdoc and Pestdoc services and results in an easy, speedy, reliable and inexpensive method.

The set reduction algorithm is based on set theory and Boolean algebra rather than the graph-theoretic approach. Time trials with a small file of organic chemical structures indicate that the algorithm can be economically used for substructure (or complete structure) sequential searches on a file containing 30,000-50,000 computer-coded structures.…

This is the report of a study accomplished in two separate parts: (1) Part I dealt with evaluation of an existing course of instruction in human relations at The Moraine Park Technical Institute, and (2) Part II dealt with the development of a proposed course of instruction in human relations for the technical institute. (Author)

Information and documentation have constituted one of the more fruitful fields for early applications of computer typesetting. This review pays particular attention to the reasons this is so, and to some of the major systems now in operation. (31 references) (Author/NH)

Brigham Young University has been selected by the National Science Foundation to see if a new computer assisted instruction (CAI) system can help to alleviate some of higher education's financial problems. (Author/PG)

Describes a computerized system for grading examinations for large class sections. The system, developed and tested over a period of three years, consists of three main program components: (1) SUPERGRADER III grades and analyzes each examination, (2) PARTY reorganizes punched card input to SUPERGRADER III if necessary, and (3) SUPERSCORER III…
