This paper describes the operation of encoding information from 470 000 extant herbarium labels for accession to a computer data bank with a view to aiding curators and systems analysts who may wish to apply similar procedures in their herbaria. The preparation of the herbarium, encoding procedures used, verification of encoded information, costs and remuneration of encoders are described. A complete list of items encoded and their code equivalents is given. Some of the difficulties faced during the operation are discussed and the success of the project to date is evaluated briefly. Its success is attributed to a bonus incentive scheme and availability of a comprehensive instruction manual.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan computer data bank on myotonia dystrophica (MD) was created where information on all diagnosed patients and members of their families was entered. For the first time in the republic qualitative molecular genetic RNA-diagnosis of MD started, with the help of which one phenotypically healthy mutation carrier is revealed. Clinical genetic characteristic of MD in Bashkortostan and main subpopulation of the republic is presented. Besides neuromuscular symptoms cerebral and extraneural symptoms are analyzed.

Clinical predictive ability was assessed in 21 physicians and medical students. Each was provided a standard set of twenty case histories in random sequence and asked to predict tlje probability of five standard outcome events for each case. Predictions were scored against the actual known outcomes of the patients. For these same patients, computer predictions were derived from analysis of data bank experience of the most similar prior patients. Physicians and medical students were provided with the computer predictions after making their initial judgments and were allowed to make revised predictions incorporating this new information.Revised predictions after computer consultation were significantly (p < .05) improved from initial values. Computer predictions initially scored approximately midrange among specialty physicians. Groups of physicians scored better than single physicians. Subjects scoring less than the computer uniformly improved their predictive accuracy after computer consultation. All subjects receiving computer consultation information modified their predictive estimates toward those of the computer. Subsequent modification of computer procedures for selection of more similar patients improved computer predictive accuracy. Availability of prognostic information derived from computer data banks can modify physician behavior and, if accurate, can enhance prognostic accuracy of physicians.

Space debris is the price which humankind must pay for entering space. And as this debris is dangerous in different ways, there must be ways to identify, catalogue, and predict the positions of, these cosmic bodies. That is why it is necessary to observe all artificial cosmic objects that are in space. One way of observing debris is by photometry. Photometric observations give light-curves from which one may deduce information about the position in space, the form, size, and other parameters of the object. Since 1975 a research group at Lviv Astronomical Observatory has been working at the problem of recording light-curves of different artificial cosmic objects. Four electrophotometers were constructed and developed. Many light curves of different artificial objects were measured with these electrophotometers. All light curves are collected in the local computer data bank and are available for use by anybody who needs such information.

A chart is the data base to which other navigational information is related and yet has to serve ships of widely different draughts. A possible alternative providing more draught-specific information based largely on currently available hardware, would be the creation of ‘banded contour charts’ on microfilm. Produced directly from a computer data bank by a fast flying light-spot microfilm plotter, the master charts would be single frames of 35 mm microfilm mounted in cards 183 by 83 mm. A set of micro-charts would be produced covering the same sea area and differing only in that each has a different, limited band of depth contours of critical importance to ships in a limited draught range: for example, the first going from 0 to 5 metres by 1-metre intervals, the second from 3 to 8, the third from 5 to 10 and so on. All other data, including spot depths outside the contours, would be the same on all charts in the series.
