Analytical goals are the quantitative requirements that the product must meet. Goals must be specific and have a clear success/failure criterion. Ideally, goals should include a protocol and data analysis method. There are three categories of analytical goals. First, clinical acceptability is the total analytical error and total analytical error sources. Second, there are a variety of regulator...

GaInSn, a eutectic alloy, has been successfully used in the Magneto-Thermofluid Research Laboratory at the University of California-Los Angeles and at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory for the past six years. This paper describes the handling and safety of GaInSn based on the experience gained in these institutions, augmented by observations from other researchers in the liquid metal expe...

Recent innovations in real-time machine vision, distributed computing, software architectures, and high-speed communication are expanding the available technology for intelligent system development. These technologies allow the realization of intelligent systems that provide the capabilities for a user to experience events from remote locations in an interactive way. In this paper we describe r...

MEDICINE & HEALTH/RHODE ISLAND Although there has been tremendous progress in treating neurological injuries and disorders, there remains ample opportunity to improve recovery and to restore function in chronic and progressive conditions, particularly during the acute and subacute phases. As our understanding of neuroplasticity has advanced along with technology, attention has focused on novel ...

The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources traces its history to 1869 when the University was designated as Tennessee's Federal Land-Grant Institution . Under terms of the Federal Land-Grant Act, the University was enabled for the first time to offer instruction in agriculture . This later was expanded to include research for the development of new knowledge and extension for di...

(CASNR) dates back to 1869 when the university was designated as Tennessee’s federal land-grant institution. Under terms of the Federal Land-Grant Act, the university was enabled for the first time to offer instruction in agriculture. Later, federal legislation provided resources for agricultural research and extension programming for dissemination of research findings to the people of Tennesse...

Law 11794 establishes procedures for the scientific use of animals and abrogates the previous Law 6638/1979, which was ineffective because it was not regulated by the Brazilian Executive Power. Without regulation, many issues remained ill-defined, including operational procedures and responsibilities such as licensing, accreditation, and institutional compliance inspection. The new law states t...

The mission of the Combat Casualty Care Research Program of the US Army Medical Research and Material Command is to reduce the morbidity and mortality resulting from injuries on the battlefield through the development of new life-saving strategies, surgical techniques, biological and mechanical products, and the timely use of telemedicine technologies. One of the major areas of focus of the Com...
