/*  
 * Retrieves a list of publications as an associated array where
 *  keys correspond directly with Tripal Pub CV terms.
 *  
 * @param remote_db
 *    The name of the remote publication database to query. These names should
 *    match the name of the databases in the Chado 'db' table. Currently 
 *    supported databass include
 *      'PMID':  PubMed
 *      
 * @param search_array
 *    An associate array containing the search criteria. The following key 
 *    are expected
 *      'remote_db':     Specifies the name of the remote publication database
 *      'num_criteria':  Specifies the number of criteria present in the search array
 *      'days':          The number of days to include in the search starting from today
 *      'criteria':      An associate array containing the search critiera. There should
 *                       be no less than 'num_criteria' elements in this array.
 *                       
 *    The following keys are expected in the 'criteria' array
 *      'search_terms':  A list of terms to search on, separated by spaces.
 *      'scope':         The fields to search in the remote database. Valid values
 *                       include: 'title', 'abstract', 'author' and 'any'
 *      'operation':     The logical operation to use for this criteria. Valid
 *                       values include: 'AND', 'OR' and 'NOT'.
 * @param $num_to_retrieve
 *    The number of records to retrieve.  In cases with large numbers of 
 *    records to retrieve, the remote database may limit the size of each
 *    retrieval.  
 * @param $pager_id
 *    Optional.  This function uses the 'tripal_pager_callback' function
 *    to page a set of results.  This is helpful when generating results to
 *    be view online.  The pager works identical to the pager_query function
 *    of drupal. Simply provide a unique integer value for this argument.  Each
 *    form on a single page should have a unique $pager_id.
 * @param $page
 *    Optional.  If this function is called where the 
 *    page for the pager cannot be set using the $_GET variable, use this
 *    argument to specify the page to retrieve. 
 *    
 * @return
 *   Returns an array of pubs where each element is
 *   an associative array where the keys are Tripal Pub CV terms.
