We've also established a Disaster and Emergency Medicine Page and a Diabetes page is currently being developed by 20 to 30 people worldwide.

Glosser, Ph.D. crg+@pitt.edu G. NetQ ---- NetQ makes it possible to get answers to questions while reading an author's article. It is starting small, with just six articles. For the articles themselves, you can use either the hard-copy publication or download a PostScript file from NetQ; one of the articles is also on-line. In either case, if your question has already been asked by someone, you will be able to access the answer directly. If not, you can type your question onto a form (please do) and it will be forwarded automatically and *anonymously* to the author. He or she will answer it as soon as possible. Your question and the answer will be added to the article's Q/A structure and become available to everyone who follows (including you!). By building up questions and answers this way, the idea is to create an approximation to a high-quality interaction with the author that will be available to large numbers of people. The articles on NetQ as of 5/24/95 are: *"Virtual Genetic Algorithms: First Results" by John Grefenstette "Evolutionary Wanderlust: Sexual Selection with Directional Mate Preferences" by Geoffrey Miller and Peter Todd *"Is a Learning Classifier System a Type of Neural Network?" by Robert E. Smith and H. Brown Cribbs, III *"The Blind Breeding the Blind: Adaptive Behavior without Looking" by Peter Todd, Stewart Wilson, Anil Somayaji and Holly Yanco *"ZCS: A Zeroth Level Classifier System" by Stewart Wilson *"Classifier Fitness Based on Accuracy" (also on line) by Stewart Wilson URL: http://netq.rowland.org Listowner: Stewart Wilson ================================================================= 4.

AMED (for short) is the only database which covers the professional literature in the allied and alternative therapy subjects, and we can supply all the references from it for a small fee. We can search the database for you, for a nominal fee, or via Datastar/Dialog, if you have access to it. I can send some info via snail mail if anyone requests so. We are currently in discussion with the NIH Office of Alternative Medicine with a view to mounting the database on Internet, but that is for the future.

Computers in Mental Health 1994 ------------------------------- COMPUTERS IN MENTAL HEALTH 1994, World Health Organisation, Churchill Livingstone ISSN 1356-0468. A Yearbook of the state- (Prof. Gavin Andrews UNSW, AUS): "Everyone is excited by computers....Twenty years ago people realised that computers would be very good at keeping medical records and helping clinicians care for patients, but hardware and software constraints have meant that the implementation of computers in mental health has lagged behind the realisation that such practices would be possible. It appears that these constraints are no longer valid and that now is the time to implement the possible......This book is about the possible....and contains accounts of the current state of affairs in different parts of the world. It is in four sections: reviews of the state of the art; descriptions of clinical information systems; notes on clinician support systems; and advice for maintaining quality. (also contains a current Bibliography on Computers in Mental Health) The book will be of interest to all in the mental health field, whether computer expert or administrator or clinician interested in learning about the application of computers in mental health services. It is published by Cartermill International (using the 'Churchill Livingstone' brand) in association with the World Health Organisation. This 1994 volume is the first in a series."
