The purpose of this map is to show the location of and evidence for recent movement on active fault traces within the Hayward Fault Zone, California. The mapped traces represent the integration of the following three different types of data: (1) geomorphic expression, (2) creep (aseismic fault slip),and (3) trench exposures. This publication is a major revision of an earlier map (Lienkaemper, 1992), which both brings up to date the evidence for faulting and makes it available formatted both as a digital database for use within a geographic information system (GIS) and for broader public access interactively using widely available viewing software. The pamphlet describes in detail the types of scientific observations used to make the map, gives references pertaining to the fault and the evidence of faulting, and provides guidance for use of and limitations of the map. [Last revised Nov. 2008, a minor update for 2007 LiDAR and recent trench investigations; see version history below.]

The International IDEA, Inter-Parliamentary Union and Stockholm University Global Database of Quotas for Women contains information on the use of electoral gender quotas for promoting the equal representation of women. In this project, electoral gender quotas are defined as mandatory or targeted percentages of candidates for public elections. An electoral quota for women may be constitutional, legislative or be in the form of a political party quota. It may apply to the number of women candidates proposed by a party for election, or may take the form of reserved seats in the legislature. Quotas and other affirmative action strategies may apply to minorities based on regional, ethnic, linguistic or religious cleavages. However this Database focuses on gender quotas, that is quotas that apply to women for elective office. In this Database, the Quota Types referred to include: Legislated Candidate Quotas: This quota provision reserves a number of places on electoral lists for female candidates. Reserved seats: Reserves a number of seats in a legislated assembly for women. Voluntary Political Party Quota: These are rules or targets set by political parties to include a certain percentage of women as election candidates. This does not include quotas for internal party structures. These provisions may be mandated in different Quota Sources: Constitution: The quota provision is provided for in the Constitution. Electoral law: The quota provision is stipulated in the national legislation of the country. Political Party Statute: A quota provision for the electoral lists formulated in the political party statutes. In addition, there can be a legislated quota either reserved seats or candidate quotas, provided by the constitution or by electoral laws for electoral assemblies at sub-national levels (including local, district or state/provincial levels). The information about sub-national level quotas provided is however not exhaustive. The main focus of the information in the Database is located at the national level. The quota targets (per cent or number of women) differ from country to country. Quotas may fix the target at a certain percentage (for example, 30%) or they specify the ordering of women and men on party lists. Quotas may also apply at different stages of the selection process (for example, they may apply in the nomination process or at the end of the selection process of election candidates). A minimum requirement for women implies a maximum set for the representation of men. Since women are the under-represented group, most regulations aim at securing women a minimum number of seats. However, in some countries quota regulations are formulated in a gender neutral way, such as a maximum of 40% of either sex. A 50-50 quota is gender neutral, and also sets maximum for women's representation as well as men's. If a country is not listed in the Database this is because, to our knowledge, no quotas for women have been adopted. The Database seeks to illustrate the status quo. Attention is primarily directed towards the quota legislation and political party quotas that are implemented today, but previous quotas that no longer apply may also be presented. The aim of the Database is to provide key provisions relating to quotas, why, for some countries, detailed information on how the quotas came to be implemented can be found. For a deeper and more detailed understanding of the various trials of implementing quotas present or previous case studies, books and reports are listed below Additional Reading. Please note that only sources dated 1995 or later are presented. The Database details quota regulations but does not specify whether these were complied with in the last election (other than by providing the number of women elected). The high or low representation of women may be because of factors other than actual implementation of quota regulations (such as the strength of the women's movement). A global overview of the use of electoral gender quotas is accessed through the Search pages. Here, it is possible to see how many countries that have adopted constitutional quotas, legislative quotas and quotas adopted by one or more political parties in a specific country. As the website provides information about quota types and rules, it aims to provide the data and not to make conclusions about the connection between types of quota provisions and the representation of women globally. Further research is needed to illustrate the effect of quotas for women in different countries.

Document Type The following list provides brief descriptions of the kinds of documents involving servitude and emancipation found in the records listed above: Bill of Sale Record the sale, trade, or transfer of Negro and Indian slaves through private sales and public auctions. Birth Although birth records were not usually kept for slaves or indentured servants, the recording of birth information was sometimes coincidental with the creation of other types of records. Census Information is included from the Illinois censuses for 1810, 1818, and 1820 for slaves and free persons of color. Divorce This divorce settlement grants female slave, Hannah, to the wife. Donation During the French colonial period in Illinois, notaries recorded donations or gifts of property and chattels, given upon marriage or certain other occasions, often with legal conditions attached. Emancipation Includes both manumissions and evidences or affidavits of freedom. Estate Records of the settlement of estates often involved the sale or disposition of slaves or servants. Guardianship These records involve the appointment of a guardian for minors. Indenture Indentures record agreements between masters and servants for periods from 1 to 99 years. Inventory The inventories of the estates of deceased French slaveholders often listed the slaves belonging to the deceased. Lease French slaveholders sometimes leased the services of their slaves at public auction or by private contract. Marriage Slaves occasionally appeared in French marriage contracts. A few marriages were recorded for Negroes in the records indexed for this database. Mortgage French slaveholders occasionally mortgaged slaves. Other Records include financial items, such as receipts, contracts, agreements, and debts; records of runaway slaves; and court records concerning slaves charged with various crimes. Registration Beginning in 1805, persons transporting Negroes or mulattoes into the Indiana Territory were required to register them with the clerk of the court of Common Pleas. In 1809 the Illinois Territory adopted Indiana territorial law. Will Slaves and freed Slaves were mentioned occasionally.

This database catalogues the holdings of over 200 Quranic manuscript folios dating from the 9th to the 16th centuries housed within the special collections of the Brown University libraries. These items were acquired as part of a treasury of rich artistic and textual items donated in 1998 to Brown by Adrienne Minassian, the daughter of Kirkor Minassian (18741944), who was an active art collector and dealer based in New York and Paris in the early 20th century. In addition to the forty distinct manuscripts of the Quran represented here, the collection includes numerous Persian manuscripts, calligraphic panels, Persian and Central Asian ceramics and other art objects, as well as an impressive selection of miniature paintings from the Persian, Mughul and Indian traditions. The Quranic manuscripts in this collection, as befits a university library, are well positioned to serve as a teaching resource for students interested in topics ranging from the development of Arabic calligraphy, the art of illumination, and the history of the Quran as a material object to the technology of book production and the cultural development of the Islamic tradition more broadly. Despite the fact that little is known of the provenance of these manuscripts, either in terms of date of creation or location of production and use, they do offer an important window into the circulation of these texts and their varied and changing lives as artifacts, art objects and scholarly resources. Several of the items in this database have been identified as belonging to manuscripts with folios to be found in other prominent collections, most notably that of Nasser D. Khalili. Consequently, a major impetus for the undertaking of this project is to foster the possibility for other such identification, a process of reuniting these manuscripts currently physically scattered around the world virtually through the digital medium.

Introduction To NED NED is a comprehensive database of multiwavelength data for extragalactic objects, providing a systematic, ongoing fusion of information integrated from hundreds of large sky surveys and tens of thousands of research publications. The contents and services span the entire observed spectrum from gamma rays through radio frequencies. As new observations are published, they are cross- identified or statistically associated with previous data and integrated into a unified database to simplify queries and retrieval. Seamless connectivity is also provided to data in NASA astrophysics mission archives (IRSA, HEASARC, MAST), to the astrophysics literature via ADS, and to other data centers around the world. Objects can be queried By Name, Near Name or Near Position (cone search), and With Unprocessed Catalog Sources (to include very large catalog sources that are not yet cross-matched with NED objects). Galaxy samples can be constructed By Parameter constraints on Sky Area, Redshift, Flux Density (Magnitude), Object Types, and Survey Names, or by galaxy Classifications and Attributes, or By Reference Code. References can be queried By Author and By Object Name. The LEVEL 5 Knowledgebase augments review articles in extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology with object names and graphical content within the articles linked directly to relevant database queries. The database content includes a master index of distinct astrophysical objects, multiwavelength cross-identification, associations, positions, redshifts, redshift-independent distances, photometry, diameters, images, spectra, and detailed notes. Derived quantities include Galactic extinction, velocity corrections, Hubble flow distances and scales, cosmological corrections, quick-look luminosities, and spectral energy distributions (SEDs). NED's data and references are being continually updated in an internal production database, and revised versions are released on the public website every few months. New or improved science functionality is also released on a regular basis. An Extragalactic Database We emphasize that NED is an extragalactic database. Data and references for Galactic objects may be retrieved from SIMBAD (Set of Identifications, Measurements, and Bibliography for Astronomical Data), maintained by Centre de Donnes Astronomiques de Strasbourg, France. Similarly, solar system and planetary data (e.g. for Mars or for Halley's Comet) may be retrieved from NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) at JPL, and data for exoplanets are available at the NASA Exoplanet Archive. Many of the individual catalogs integrated into NED are available from CDS (Centre donnes astronomiques de Strasbourg) at the Strasbourg Astronomical Observatory, Strasbourg, France. NED's features has more information on NED's many available features.

EPA developed the National Contaminant Occurrence Database (NCOD) to satisfy statutory requirements in the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The 1996 Amendments require EPA to assemble and maintain a national drinking water contaminant occurrence database using information for both regulated and unregulated contaminants in public water systems. This site describes water sample analytical data that EPA is currently using and has used in the past for analysis, rulemaking, and rule evaluation. The data have been checked for data quality and analyzed for national representativeness. NCOD data include the following: Unregulated contaminant occurrence data Six Year Review of national drinking water regulations Ambient and/or source water data Unregulated contaminant occurrence data Unregulated contaminant occurrence data are from monitoring in public water systems for contaminants and provides EPA and other interested parties with nationally representative data on the occurrence of contaminants in drinking water, the number of people potentially being exposed, and an estimate of that exposure. This data provides the basis for future regulatory actions to protect public health. Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 4 Data The fourth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 4) was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2016. UCMR 4 requires monitoring for 10 cyanotoxins and 20 additional contaminants. Monitoring for UCMR 4 will occur from January 2018 to December 2020. Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3 Data The third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 3) was published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2012. UCMR 3 required monitoring for 30 contaminants: 28 chemicals and two viruses. Monitoring occurred from January 2013 to December 2015. Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 2 Data The second Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 2) was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2007. UCMR 2 required monitoring for 25 contaminants. Monitoring occurred between January 2008 and December 2010. Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 1 Data The first Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 1), under the redesigned UCMR program, was published in the Federal Register on September 17, 1999. UCMR 1 required monitoring for 26 contaminants. Monitoring occurred between January 2001 and December 2005. Historical State Data (Rounds 1 & 2) The Round 1 dataset contains public water system monitoring results for 62 (then) unregulated contaminants, generally collected between 1988 and 1992, from 40 states and primacy entities. The Round 2 dataset contains public water system monitoring sample data for 48 then-unregulated contaminants, generally collected between 1993 and 1997, from 35 states and primacy entities. Top of Page Six-Year Review of national drinking water regulations The SDWA requires EPA to review each National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) at least once every six years and make revisions if appropriate. The purpose of the review, called the Six-Year Review, is to identify those NPDWRs for which current health effects assessments, changes in technology, and/or other factors provide a health or technical basis to support a regulatory revision that will maintain or strengthen public health protection. To support the national contaminant occurrence and exposure assessments performed under the Six-Year Review process, EPA analyzes SDWA compliance monitoring data from public water supplies for regulated drinking water contaminants. This analysis allows EPA to characterize the national occurrence of contaminants to help the Agency determine if there may be a meaningful opportunity to improve public health protection. Six-Year Review 3 occurrence data In December 2016, the Agency published the review results for the Agencys third Six-Year Review (called Six-Year Review 3). EPA analyzed occurrence data for the Six-Year Review 3 for 76 regulated contaminants, using data provided by 54 states and primacy agencies. The data represent compliance monitoring samples collected from January 2006 through December 2011. Six-Year Review 2 occurrence data In March 2010, the Agency announced the review results for the Agencys second Six-Year Review (called Six-Year Review 2). EPA analyzed occurrence data for the Six-Year Review 2 for 69 regulated contaminants, using data provided by 47 states and primacy agencies. The data represent compliance monitoring sample results collected between January 1998 and December 2005. Six-Year Review 1 occurrence data In July, 2003 the Agency announced the review results for the Agencys first Six-Year Review (called the Six-Year Review 1). EPA completed its first detailed contaminant occurrence analyses in 2003 for 69 regulated contaminants, using data provided by a national cross-section of 16 states. Most of the sample data were collected between 1993 and 1997. Top of Page Ambient and/or source water data EPA maintains two data management systems containing water quality information for the nation's ambient waters, the Legacy Data Center and STORET. Both systems contain raw biological, chemical and physical data on surface and ground water collected by : Federal, state and local agencies Tribes Volunteer groups Academics Others All 50 states, territories, and jurisdictions of the U.S., along with portions of Canada and Mexico, are represented in these data systems. Legacy Data Center The Legacy Data Center (LDC) contains historical water quality data dating back to the early part of the 20th century and collected up to the end of 1998. STORET The STORET database contains data collected beginning in 1999, along with older data that have been properly documented and moved from the LDC. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) The USGS disseminates water data it has collected to the public through a system called the National Water Information System (NWIS). Many types of data are stored in the NWIS network, including: Site information Time-series (flow, stage, precipitation, chemical) Peak flow Ground water and surface water quality measures National Water Information System (NWIS)
National Drug Code Directory
The Drug Listing Act of 1972 requires registered drug establishments to provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a current list of all drugs manufactured, prepared, propagated, compounded, or processed by it for commercial distribution. (See Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) (21 U.S.C. 360)). Drug products are identified and reported using a unique, three-segment number, called the National Drug Code (NDC), which serves as a universal product identifier for drugs. FDA publishes the listed NDC numbers and the information submitted as part of the listing information in the NDC Directory which is updated daily. The information submitted as part of the listing process, the NDC number, and the NDC Directory are used in the implementation and enforcement of the Act. NDC Directory Search National Drug Code Directory Searchable database NDC Database File - Text Version (Zip Format) Last updated:3/5/2018 NDC Database File - Excel Version (Zip Format) Last updated:3/5/2018 NDC Product File Definitions Product File Data Elements, Definitions, and Notes NDC Package File Definitions Package File Data Elements, Definitions, and Notes The following file contains product listing data submitted for all unfinished drugs, including the marketing categories of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), Drug for Further Processing, Bulk for Human Drug Compounding, and Bulk for Animal Drug Compounding. FDA does not review and approve unfinished products. Therefore, all products in this file are considered unapproved. Data Files for Unfinished Drugs NDC Unfinished Drugs Database File (Zip Format) Last updated:3/5/2018 Current regulations require a registered establishment to update its drug listing data in June and December of each year, or, at the discretion of the establishment, when a change occurs (see 21 C.F.R. 207.57(c)); therefore, FDA may not yet have been notified of recent changes before updating the NDC Directory. FDA makes every effort to prevent errors and discrepancies in the NDC Directory data. Users who detect any errors are requested to contact: Food and Drug Administration Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Office of Compliance, Immediate Office Drug Registration and Listing Team 10903 New Hampshire Ave Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002 Email: eDRLS@fda.hhs.gov New Version For four decades, the NDC Directory has been published by FDA, derived from information submitted to the agency as part of drug listing requirements under section 510 of the FD&C Act, 21 USC 360. Section 510(p) of the FD&C Act (21 USC 360(p)) now requires registration and listing information for human drugs to be submitted electronically, unless a waiver is granted. In keeping with this provision, in June of 2009, the FDA stopped accepting hardcopy/paper submissions of drug registration and listing information using Forms 2656, 2657, and 2658, and began accepting only electronic submissions. The format for these submissions employs Extensible Markup Language (XML) and uses the Structured Product Labeling (SPL) standard to organize the data within the file. This data is processed and stored within an FDA internal software system known as eLIST and eDRLS. The data from the older paper-based Drug Registration and Listing System (DRLS) was not migrated to these electronic systems.. Although FDA began accepting new listing submissions only in electronic form in June 2009, since that date, FDA continued to publish the NDC Directory based on information in DRLS, which has been maintained in parallel until 2011 using data submitted to eLIST. eLIST and eDRLS, however, continue to grow over time as companies list new products and update existing records. The FDA believes that sufficient time has passed since the establishment of eLIST and eDRLS for it to now serve as the data source for the NDC Directory. On June 1, 2011, the NDC Directory switched its data source from the older DRLS system to eLIST and later to eDRLS. Starting June 1, 2011, only drugs for which electronic listings (SPL) have been submitted to FDA are included in the NDC Directory. Drugs for which listing information was last submitted to FDA on paper forms, prior to June 2009, are included on a separate file and will not be updated after June 2012. The FDA is taking this opportunity to overhaul the NDC Directory as well, simplifying its structure, while adding new records (such as OTC products) and new data elements. The new features of the NDC Directory, along with some very important usage notes, are provided in the following sections. Important Considerations Regarding the NDC Directory The NDC Directory is updated daily. The new NDC Directory contains ONLY information on final marketed drugs submitted to FDA in SPL electronic listing files by labelers. (A labeler may be either a manufacturer, including a repackager or relabeler, or, for drugs subject to private labeling arrangements, the entity under whose own label or trade name the product will be distributed.) Inclusion of information in the NDC Directory does not indicate that FDA has verified the information provided. The content of each NDC Directory entry is the responsibility of the labeler submitting the SPL file. Assignment of an NDC number does not in any way denote FDA approval of the product. Any representation that creates an impression of official approval because of possession of an NDC number is misleading and constitutes misbranding. (21 CFR 207.37 (a)(2)) Neither inclusion in the NDC Directory nor assignment of an NDC number is a determination that a product is a drug as defined by the FD&C Act, nor does either denote that a product is covered or eligible for reimbursement by Medicare, Medicaid or other payers. Assignment of NDC number to non-drug products is extremely prohibited. The NDC Directory does not contain all listed drugs. The new version includes the final marketed drugs which listing information were submitted electronically. It does not include animal drugs, blood products, or human drugs that are not in final marketed form, such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients(APIs), drugs for further processing, drugs manufactured exclusively for a private label distributor, or drugs that are marketed solely as part of a kit or combination product or inner layer of a multi-level packaged product not marketed individually. For more information about how certain kits or multi-level packaged drugs are addressed in the new NDC Directory, see the NDC Directory Package File definitions document. For the FDA Online Label Repository page and additional resources go to: FDA Online Label Repository Each listed drug product is assigned a unique 10-digit, 3-segment number. This number, known as the NDC, identifies the labeler, product, and trade package size. The first segment, the labeler code, is assigned by the FDA. A labeler is any firm that manufactures (including repackers or relabelers), or distributes (under its own name) the drug. The second segment, the product code, identifies a specific strength, dosage form, and formulation of a drug for a particular firm. Different formulations or different strengths of the same formulation should be assigned different product codes. This means even if the same formulations of a drug product ultimately deliver different strengths of the active ingredient to the recipient, they should be assigned different product codes. Also, drug products that share the same formulation but have different product characteristics that clearly distinguish one drug product version from another can not share the same product code under the same labeler code. The third segment, the package code, identifies package sizes and types. Different package codes only differentiate between different quantitative and qualitative attributes of the product packaging. Both the product and package codes are assigned by the firm. The NDC will be in one of the following configurations: 4-4-2, 5-3-2, or 5-4-1. The previous version of the NDC Directory only included listed human prescription drugs and insulin products and excluded many products, including Over The Counter (OTC) products. The new edition of the NDC Directory includes electronically listed human prescription and OTC drugs that have been manufactured, prepared, propagated, compounded, or processed by registered establishments for commercial distribution. New Features Simplified File Structure: The download files have been condensed into two files: a Products file and a Packages file. These two files can be linked using the PRODUCTNDC data element. Two file formats are offered as well: a spreadsheet version and a traditional tab delimited CSV format. New Data Elements: ProductTypeName: This field indicates the type of product, such as Human Prescription Drug or Human OTC Drug. This data element corresponds to the Document Type of the SPL submission for the listing. The complete list of codes and translations can be found at Electronic Drug Registration and Listing Instructions under Structured Product Labeling Resources. MarketingCategoryName: This field is based on the SPL data element of the same name, indicating the marketing category identified by the labeler. Possible values include: NDA, ANDA, BLA, and OTC Monograph (Final and Not Final), and thus provide the labelers representation about whether the product is marketed under an approved application. The complete list of codes and translations can be found at Electronic Drug Registration and Listing Instructions under Structured Product Labeling Resources. Pharm_Classes: Pharmacologic Class. This value(s) replaces the old Drug Class data element, which was discontinued from the NDC directory several years ago. The complete list of codes and translations can be found at Electronic Drug Registration and Listing Instructions under Structured Product Labeling Resources. Expanded range of human drug products included: The previous version of the NDC Directory excluded many products, including Over the Counter products. This version includes final marketed human drug products that have been submitted into the eLIST system, whether prescription or OTC, approved, monograph, or otherwise unapproved. The NDC Directory excludes certain product types, such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), drugs for further processing, drugs manufactured exclusively for a private label distributor, animal drugs, and blood related products. DEA Schedule: This field indicates the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) schedule applicable to the drug as reported by the labeler. The definition of controlled substance schedules can be found on DEAs website: Office of Diversion Control. Requests for more specific information should be submitted in writing and directed to FDA's Freedom of Information Staff. For more information on how to make a FOIA request, visit FDAs Freedom of Information site: How to Make a FOIA Request How often is the NDC Directory updated? The NDC Directory is not updated in real time. Initially, the NDC Directory, like the prior version, was updated approximately twice a month. FDA then moved to a weekly update of the new Directory in June of 2012. The FDA has increased the frequency of updates to daily (weekdays), starting February 1, 2013. Drug information from SPL entries submitted after the last date on which the new NDC Directory was updated will not appear until the next compilation date. The NDC Directory will indicate the date on which it was last updated. How can NDC Directory entries be added, corrected or updated? To add a new entry, or to correct erroneous or incomplete product data in the NDC Directory, a labeler should submit a new SPL to update the information. See the eDRLS website for instructions on submitting SPL.

R&D Chemicals is a common and freely accessible chemicals catalog and directory of suppliers of products and services for research and development over the internet. One of the biggest problems of traditional search engines like Google, Yahoo, AltaVista is that simple keyword-based queries often return vast amount of irrelevant information. Most of scientists’ time is inefficiently used in sieving of irrelevant information from the search engines. Also traditional search engines cannot search chemical compounds by structure and substructure. In this context, R&D Chemicals, a web site designed for the specific requirements of researchers and scientists, was created. We hope to make contribution to development of the Internet for chemists especially working in the field of drug discovery in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry. The goal of this project is to create a common and freely accessible database of chemicals and directory of companies providing products and services that support drug discovery in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry.

We have built this site with the goal of bridging the gap in knowledge translation between research findings and current clinical practice. This site can be used to find the most current information about the value of the various interventions used in stroke rehabilitation as well as psychometric and pragmatic properties of assessment tools used in stroke rehabilitation. You will notice that topics of interventions and assessments are listed either by domains or alphabetically . These are actual practices and assessments that were found in textbooks, journal articles and based on interviews with more than 1800 clinicians working in stroke rehabilitation. Stroke Engines content is derived from multiple sources including the Evidence-Based Review of Stroke Rehabilitation (EBRSR) headed by Dr. Teasell in London, Ontario and extensive reviews of databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, HealthSTAR, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, CANCERLIT, PsycINFO. The goal is to provide you with best practice information, that is practice that is based on scientific evidence of its effectiveness. A dedicated team of senior researchers, graduate fellows and research assistants with expertise in specific areas also contribute to creating and evaluating the quality of each topic. You can find out more about these people by clicking on the Stroke Engine Team. After extensive review, each intervention is given a level of evidence, rating its effectiveness for different outcomes. For more information about these ratings, see Rating Evidence. In Links, you will find hyperlinks to the websites of other groups who have begun this type of information gathering on stroke practices. There are also links to online databases, which can be used to discover a wealth of information on various interventions. Our goal is to provide you with an easy, accessible site.

The Ignitable Liquids Database Committee (ILDC) has worked with the National Center for Forensic Science (NCFS) at the University of Central Florida (UCF), specifically Michael Sigman, PhD and Mary Williams, MS, to develop and post a substrate database composed of various common materials both unburned and burned under controlled conditions. The controlled burn conditions in the database represent only one of the potential results from the burning of the substrate. Variations in the compounds resulting from burning will exist depending on variations to the geometry of the substrate, the application of heat, available oxygen, and the presence of other substrates whose burning will contribute to the background pattern. Burned substrates often contribute to the chemical background that may interfere with the recognition and unambiguous identification of an ignitable liquid in fire debris. The effect of the interference is often dependent on the relative concentrations of the ignitable liquid and components from the substrate and may be mitigated through the use of ion profiling and mass spectral comparisons. It is hoped that this substrate database may find use in assisting the fire debris analyst in recognizing and attributing many of interferences and co-eluting compounds seen in the backgrounds of their chromatographic and mass spectral data. Unlike, the ILRC, there is no reference substrate materials for purchase. NCFS- UCF administers the substrate database as well as prepares, analyzes, and populates the database with data from the analysis of new materials on a regular basis. Before being added, the data is reviewed by the ILDC for major peak identification and determining if the resulting data resembles that of an ignitable liquid. Funding for the Substrate Database has been provided by the University of Central Florida and through grants awarded by the National Institute of Justice. The Substrate Database is a tool designed for screening purposes only. It does not replace the need for obtaining comparison samples to evaluate the matrix. Please note that comparison samples should be analyzed on the same instrument utilizing the same instrumental conditions as casework. Classification of any ignitable liquid residues identified within the substrate database parallels the ASTM E1618-11 and is a consensus from a committee of practicing fire debris analysts.
