It allows at searching bibliographic references with a special focus on statistical issues. Titles of articles can be checked with respect to the frequency of specific words or trunks, e.g. <i>muscle</i> or <i>graph</i>. Results are presented in diagrams indicating the total number of hits (blue) and their ratio with respect to the complete amount of titles (red). You can select the period you want to search (e.g. 1850-1890) as well as intervalls of interest (5, 10 years and so on). Clicking on dates in the left column gives access to the full references. They appear in the window below. </p> <p>Activating the <i>grep mode</i> allows to use a POSIX compliant regular expressions pattern as the search query (see <a href='http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/functions-matching.html#POSIX-ATOMS-TABLE' target='_blank'>reference</a>).</p> Some grep examples:<br> <table class='small' style='margin-left:10px;' cellspacing='3'> <tr><td valign='top'><i>dog|chien</i></td> <td>alternate pattern, with <b>|</b> : 'dog' or 'chien', but also 'Bronchien', 'endogen', ...</td></tr> <tr><td valign='top'><i>th?ier</i></td> <td>optional character, with <b>?</b> : 'tier' or 'thier'</td></tr> <tr><td valign='top'><i>[cz]ir[ck]ulation</i></td> <td>alternate characters, with <b>[characters]</b> : 'circulation', 'Zirkulation', ...</td></tr> <tr><td valign='top'><i>.ir.ulation</i></td> <td>any single character, with <b>.</b> : 'circulation', 'Zirkulation', ...</td></tr> <tr><td valign='top'><i>\ygraph</i></td> <td>starting with, with <b>\y</b> (word border): 'graphique' but not 'kymograph'</td></tr> <tr><td valign='top'><i>\yblut\y</i></td> <td>whole word, with <b>\y</b> (word border): 'Blut' but neither 'Blutdruck' nor 'Herzblut'</td></tr> </table> </td> </tr>  <tr> <td class="stageNav" valign="bottom"></td> </tr> </table>  <div class="navbar"> <a href="/">Home</a> <a href="/about">About</a> <a href="/sitemap">Sitemap</a> <a href="/contact"> Contact </a> <a href="/Search">Search</a> <a href="/tools">  Tools  </a> <a href="/survey">Survey</a> <a href="/users"> myLab </a> <a href="/intranet">Intranet</a> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
