This paper proposes a new control technical reference model (C-TRM) using a layered architecture. Existing control architectures are focused on specific problems and do not provide for a general control communication from goal to task to execution. The upper layers of the C-TRM deal with the goal definition and validation. The lower layers address the goal to task translation and task execution...

A pilot scheme for technical quality control in histopathology is described. The test material used and the methods of assessment and reporting are detailed. The scheme outlines not only interlaboratory comparison of technical performance but also provides a method of sharing uncommon material.

In this paper the earth’s magnetic field is simulated precisely while the intensity and direction of the field are verified with one of the standard references for selected points on the earth and the results are compared with some low-order models. In another simulation, the complete model is compared with a common approximate model. The magnetic field in orbital frame is described and to empl...

BD Precise assays are fast, high-throughput, next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation kits tailored for small quantity RNA samples, such as single cells, using patented BDTM Molecular Indexing (MI) technology with Sample Index (SI) to label individual mRNA transcripts. During reverse transcription, the BD Precise assays apply a non-depleting pool of 6,561 MI barcodes (or 65,536 barc...

Education, also the technical one, is supposed to prepare students for adult life, not only by providing them with ready-made knowledge, but first of all by equipping students with an ability to learn, gather and select information. Active methods influence students’ senses, allowing for a better understanding and remembering the subject matter. The study shows some didactic methods used in tec...
