Environmental Impact Statement (EIS )

detailed analyses of how actions could impact the quality of the environment (both positive and negative changes) is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Act of 1969 for any federally funded project

EIS can cover almost anything from oil & gas development to scientific research and species impact

Documents can be larger than 1,000 pages and contain many parts

1,708 Full Text US EPA Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) from 2003 - 2005

450 to 600 documents produced each year

Database of high-quality peer reviewed journals representing wide cross section of biological sciences

Bibliographic database BioOne Abstracts & Indexes produced by CSA, complimentary on top of BioOne

CINDAS!!

CINDAS Background: For 45 years, the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) at Purdue University has managed a comprehensive and systematic research program on the properties and behavior of materials.

Nature of Data: CINDAS’s critically evaluated materials properties databases for thermal, mechanical, electrical, physical and other properties of various materials (e.g., metallic alloys, ceramics-oxides, composites-laminates).

Scope of Content: 5,750+ materials and 65,000+ data curves.

What kind of product is it?

CINDAS Databases are a software solution to visualize the properties of selected materials under varying conditions.

What are the most important benefits it offers? Provides critically evaluated data in an interactive environment

allowing the user to manipulate parameters and variables in order to assess the suitability and performance of a particular material. The ability to compare several materials simultaneously is a major benefit.

Ability to plot multiple materials and properties Ability to manipulate ranges and parameters

TPMD: Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database

Contains thermophysical properties of over 5,000 materials with approximately 50,000 data curves.

Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials and change parameters to maximize findings.

Searchable by material group, material or property For all data curves, the material composition,

experimental conditions, raw or smoothed data, and references are given.

TPMD Major Material Groups

Major Material Groups:– Metallic elements– Metallic alloys– Non-metallic liquids– Non-metallic solids– Gases– Coatings
