Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
  • Pharmacology
CONT

Typically, FBDD starts with a screening of a small library of low molecular weight compounds for binding to a particular target. The key advantage of fragments is their low degree of complexity.

OBS

The main differences between FBDD and HTS [high-throughput screening] are the specific compositions and the sizes of the libraries, and the assay methods used for hit identification.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

In this example, we use the Performance Application Programming Interface(PAPI) library... to access the underlying hardware counters on the target system. This library returns raw hardware counter values for bracketed regions of code.

OBS

Platform independent counter libraries are currently under development in various research ... projects. Two such libraries are the Performance Counter Library (PCL) and the Performance Application Programming Interface (PAPI). Their aim is to provide a set of platform independent counters, that allow easy portability of programs instrumented with these libraries, and to allow inter platform performance comparisons.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
CONT

Une interface de programmation permet à toute librairie dynamique PAPI de s'exécuter avec les mêmes niveaux de performances que les traitements numériques natifs.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Documentation (Library Science)
DEF

A separate collection that is representative of the major interests of the library's target group with selection for inclusion based on anticipated high demand and retention based on frequency of use. It may also be the initial collection of a library, developed from a comprehensive standard list or bibliographic guide

CONT

Our library has acquired a core library collection on this subject to which new works will be added.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Documentation (Bibliothéconomie)
DEF

Constitution d'un fonds documentaire selon les projets en cours par rapport aux besoins actuels et prévisibles des usagers et en vue de conserver une certaine cohérence dans l'état de la collection et une continuité dans la spécialisation. Une collection de base peut ne comprendre que le fonds documentaire de départ d'une bibliothèque dont l'accroissement suppose une sélection selon les critères de lestes normalisées ou la vocation régionale de l'unité.
