Using the video metadata descriptors and data model defined in the accompanying paper (Shotton, D.M. et al. (2002) A metadata classification schema for semantic content analysis of videos. J. Microsc. 205, 33-42), we discuss how analysis of the content of scientific videos, and subsequent query by content of the resulting semantic metadata, can be enhanced by the use of an object-relational database. We illustrate this by describing VANQUIS, a Web-based prototype video analysis and query interface system for the interactive spatio-temporal analysis and subsequent query by content of videos. Using VANQUIS to generate standard SQL (structured query language) statements that address complex data types stored in an object-relational database, relationships between characters and events contained within and between videos can be identified, and the appropriate video segments containing these characters and events can be retrieved for viewing. We give examples of analysis and query implementation by using VANQUIS to analyse a biological microscopy video, and discuss the wider potential of this methodology for the analysis and query by content of videos containing more general subject matter.

An Internet web page is described for organizing and analyzing information about lepidopteran sex pheromone components. Hypertext markup language(HTML) with javascript program code is used to draw moth pheromone analogs by combining GIF bitmap images for viewing by web browsers such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Straight-chain hydrocarbons of 5-22 carbons with epoxides or unsaturated positions of E or Z geometrical configuration with several alternative functional groups can be drawn by simply checking menu bars or checkboxes representing chain length, E/Z unsaturation points, epoxide position and chirality, and optional functional groups. The functional group can be an aldehyde, alcohol, or ester of formate, acetate, propionate, or butyrate. The program is capable of drawing several million structures and naming them [e.g., (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol and abbreviated as E8E10-12:OH]. A Java applet program run from the same page searches for the presently drawn structure in an internal database compiled from the Pherolist, and if the component is found, provides a textarea display of the families and species using the component. Links are automatically specified for drawn components if found in the Pherolist web site (maintained by H. Arn). Windowed links can also be made to two other javascript programs that allow searches of a web site database with over 5900 research citations on lepidopteran semiochemicals and a calculator of vapor pressures of some moth sex pheromone analogs at a specified temperature. Various evolutionary and biosynthetic aspects are discussed in regard to the diversity of moth sex pheromone components.

SimPackJ/S is the javascript and Java version of SimPack, which means SimPackJ/S is a collection of javascript and Java libraries and executable programs for computer simulations. The main purpose of creating SimPackJ/S is that we allow existing SimPack users to expand simulation areas and provide future users with a freeware simulation toolkit to simulate and model a system in web environments. One of the goals for this paper is to introduce SimPackJ/S. The other goal is to propose translation rules for converting C to javascript and Java. Most parts demonstrate the translation rules with examples. In addition, we discuss a 3D dynamic system model and overview an approach to 3D dynamic systems using SimPackJ/S. We explain an interface between SimPackJ/S and the 3D language-Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). This paper documents how to translate C to javascript and Java and how to utilize SimPackJ/S within a 3D web environment.
