The L1b processor is designed to process raw, level0, data from the RA-2 instrument to apply engineering and other corrections. From the Level 0 data (which are basically telemetry data) the Level 1b processor is applied and output the Level 1b product. In doing this auxiliary data is used. These algorithms and the parameters used in this process shall be verified and possibly tuned. Later the ...

Scientific data are posing new challenges to data management due to the large volume, complexity and heterogeneity of the data. Meanwhile, scientific collaboration becomes increasingly important, which relies on integrating and sharing data from distributed institutions. In this demo, we present SciPort, a Web-based platform on supporting scientific data management and integration based on peer...

ost tobacco researchers now know how the tobacco industry for decades operated clandestinely to obstruct and obfuscate the scientific evidence that smoking causes cancer and, later, that secondhand smoke causes disease in non-smokers. The tobacco industry's internal documents , released as a result of the US states Attorneys General lawsuits and other legal cases, provide ample evidence that is...

Advances in genomics research have called forth new strategies for patenting DNA sequences. Gene patenting, which began inconspicuously in the early days of the biotechnology industry in the 1970s and 1980s, did not generate significant public controversy until the advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing in the 1990s. By this point, it was such a well-established practice that categorical chal...

Probiotics are increasingly more present both as functional foods, and in pharmaceutical preparations with multiple levels of action that contribute to human health. Probiotics realize their positive effects with a proper dose, and by maintaining a declared number of probiotics cells by the expiration date. Important precondition for developing a probiotic product is the right choice of clinica...

Ultra-light metal foams became an attractive research field both from the scientific and industrial applications view points. Closed-cell metal foams, in particular aluminium alloy (Al-alloy) ones can be used as lightweight, energy-absorption and damping structures in different industrial sectors, detaining an enormous potential when transportation is concerned. Despite the several manufacturin...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses scientific procedures to evaluate regulated firms’ new product applications.Much of its basic intellectual resources, in the form of scientific advisory committee members, come from research institutions. Regulated firms may seek connections to the FDA advisory committeemembers to affect the regulatory approval process. However, individual linkagesmay...
