STN Database Summary Sheet

SIGLE

SIGLE (System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe) is a bibliographic database covering European non-conventional (so-called grey) literature in the fields of pure and applied natural sciences and technology, economics, social sciences, and humanities. SIGLE also includes the FTN database for German grey literature, i.e., citations of reports on research projects in science and technology in Germany, published in the printed abstract journal Forschungsberichte aus Naturwissenschaft und Technik/Reports in the Fields of Science and Technology.

SIGLE is a cooperative project of EAGLE (European Association for Grey Literature Exploitation).

Records contain informative titles in English and/or in the original language, the author's name, the research organization or educational institution, the document's date of publication and type, number of pages, report numbers and language, as well as subject classifications. Many records include also keywords and abstracts. All SIGLE records include an availability statement.

This database is available in STN Easy. Customers may reach STN Easy in the following ways;

In Europe: http://stneasy.fiz-karlsruhe.de/
In Japan: http://stneasy-japan.cas.org/
In North America and elsewhere: http://stneasy.cas.org/

SELECT, ANALYZE, and SORT Fields

The SELECT command is used to create E-numbers containing terms taken from the specified field in an answer set.

The ANALYZE command is used to create an L-number containing terms taken from the specified field in an answer set.

The SORT command is used to rearrange the search results in either alphabetic or numeric order of the specified field(s).

Availability: Available from TIB Hannover: RA 2999(98-002). Conference: SEWM '98: International conference on strong and electroweak matter, Copenhagen (Denmark), 2-5 Dec 1998 ISSN: 0418-9833 DT Report; Conference CY Germany, Federal Republic of LA English AB In this talk, we studied the implication of the constraint on the reheating temperature coming from the gravitino problem on models of leptogenesis. We point out that in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model, all existing models of neutrino masses and leptogenesis, except the one with right-handed singlet neutrinos are ruled out for a large range of the gravitino mass.
