The following CSA databases will be on trial until July 8/08:
1. Illustrata Natural Sciences – Searchable tables, figures, graphs, charts and other illustrations from the scholarly research and technical literature.
2. Illustrata Technology – Deep indexing for more than 500 publishers including: Wiley-Blackwell; Cambridge University Press; Emerald; Oxford University Press; and Springer. Core subject areas include materials science, engineering, aerospace, and high technology
3. CINDAS TPMD: The Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database (TPMD) contains thermophysical properties of over 5,000 materials with approximately 50,000 data curves that illustrate how various properties of materials behave under different test conditions. The database is searchable by material group, material name, property group, property name and independent variable. For all data curves, the material composition, experimental conditions, raw or smoothed data, and references are given. These references may be to published literature, theses, or technical and laboratory reports. Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials or the same material under different conditions, as well as change the ranges on the graph axes.
4. CINDAS MPMD:The Microelectronics Packaging Materials Database (MPMD) contains data on thermal, mechanical, electrical and physical properties of electronics packaging materials. This database which contains properties of over 750 materials and contains over 15,000 data curves was developed under the sponsorship of the Semiconductor Research Corporation. The database is searchable by material group, material name, property group, property name and independent variable. For all data curves, the material composition, experimental conditions, raw or smoothed data, and references are given. These references may be to published literature, theses, or technical and laboratory reports. Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials or the same material under different conditions, as well as change the ranges on the graph axes.
