CABI - CAB ABSTRACTS





Content



CAB ABSTRACTS provides coverage of the worldwide literature on
agriculture in its broadest sense.

The CAB ABSTRACTS database contains bibliographic citations and
abstracts comprehensively covering the world's literature in
agriculture and allied fields. Areas of coverage include:

- crop sciences - crop protection
- veterinary medicine - breeding & genetics
- animal production - human & animal nutrition
- parasitology - forestry
- soils - land use
- agricultural engineering - agricultural economics
- biotechnology - natural resources
- leisure recreation & - rural development
tourism and social science
- human & animal parasitology
and mycology

Much of the data available in CABI is unavailable from any other
source; including information from monographs, conference
proceedings, annual reports and other less accessible research.

CABI will be an invaluable resource to those working in the
agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, and government
department, and to environmental planners, research scientists,
postgraduate students and anyone with a need for comprehensive
data on worldwide agriculture-related literature.

Use CABI to answer questions like:
- what are the effects on the environment of intensive
agricultural systems?
- what is the most efficient way of preventing disease in wheat
and barley?
- what alternatives are there to using animals in laboratory
tests?
- what are the long-term effects of deforestation?
- what methods have been used to clear up agrochemical pollution
in rivers?

Sources:
The database covers over 11,500 journals, 4,000 books, reports,
theses and other non-serial sources.

Coverage is global: 25% from the UK; 25% from other western
European countries; 20% from the USA; 7% from the Indian
subcontinent; 6% from eastern Europe; 5% from Latin America; and
12% from other countries.

There are 47 printed CABI abstract journals derived from the
database.

AB - ABSTRACT
Temperature gradient capillary electrophoresis (TGCE) is a
high-throughput method to detect segregating single
nucleotide polymorphisms and InDel polymorphisms in genetic mapping
populations. Existing software that analyzes TGCE data was,
however, designedfor mutation analysis rather than genetic
mapping. Genetic recombinant analysis and mapping assistant (GRAMA)
is a new tool that automates...

AB - ABSTRACT
An overview is given of some of the recent achievements of
various Russian research institutes which have resulted
in the improved quality and production of agricultural crops.
These have included the breeding of new cultivars and hybrids
of cereals, grain legumes, oilseed crops, vegetables and fruit
crops with high nutritional value, the development of
non-traditional and novel types of crop, and the safeguarding and
improvement of genetic resources of ......

Notes on CABI


The CABI family of databases was reloaded in November 2007, so
as to apply the latest thesaurus. There were no structural
changes at this time.

DE - DESCRIPTORS
The DE paragraph lists index terms used to describe the most
important concepts in the document. They are assigned from the CAB
thesaurus. Thesaurus terms can be searched for using the online
thesaurus.
In addition, the DE paragraph also includes 'Up-posted terms'.
These are broad categories relevant to the descriptors, providing
an overview of the hierarchy. They are only available
for certain hierarchies in the database, i.e. taxonomic groups
of organisms, geographic regions, pesticides and fertilisers.

CC - CABICODES:
These indicate the general subject categories covered by the
document. They are designed to be used in conjunction with other
descriptor terms. Codes are hierarchical and can be searched at
two, three or four characters using the hash symbol (#) for
wider retrieval. A full list of CABICODES is given online in
BASE. Search as BASE-CABI.

KW - Keywords:
These include terms from open-ended categories - e.g. chemical
names, organisms, specific animal breeds, etc. For pre-1984 data
non-controlled descriptor terms also appear here.

SE - Subset codes:
These codes represent the subsets used by the information
provider to create their own database products. They should not
be used as an indexing tool to search the database.

LS - Language of summary in original:
Indicates the language(s) in which the author's abstract or
summary was written, except in cases where this is the same
language as the original text of the paper.

AV - Availability:
Contains the URL of the source publication, or an order number
for obtaining a copy of the original article from CAB
INTERNATIONAL's own document delivery facility.

DO - Digital object identifier:
An alternative URL for accessing original copies of the
research. Note that you usually need to be a subscriber to
access these documents.

DT - Publication date:
It is now DataStar standard to create a an eight-digit
publication date - even if a specific date is not given. In
CABI, this paragraph will be populated in the format YYYY0000.

Search options:
..SET PLURALS ON and ..SET MEDWORD ON may be selected in CABI.

Guides:
The full guide to CAB ABSTRACTS is available online in the BASE
database - search as BASE-CABI.
