Physical Properties Sources Index (PPSI)

Mon, 2013-09-23 08:07 — drupalAdmin

The physical properties source index lists recommended databases, handbooks, and websites (data, definition, measurement) for physico-chemical and other material properties.
 
The PPSI had been programmed as a system of polyhierarchical thesauri using the database FileMaker. The thesauri are in German and English and can be extended for other languages. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) and FileMaker XML/XSLT Custom Web Publishing are used as WWW technologies.

Scope and Usage
Purpose: 

The Physical Properties Sources Index (PPSI) is a tool for finding resources for physico-chemical and other material properties. It is a starting point for queries such as

  • Where does one find a listing of rate constants?
  • Where does precise information on chemical structure (bond lengths, bond angles, torsion angles) of molecules in the gas phase exist?
  • Where do I find the definition of the quadrupole moment?
  • Where are techniques for measurement of viscosity described?

 
This index does not display the measured values of a physical property of a given compound, for example, values of the dipole moment of water. But it lists the sources that contain the dipole-moment values.
