the aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. for that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (na+, k+, cl, ca2+, p and mg2+), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (hdl, ldl and vldl) a...

During flight test, a common objective is to collect data from specially instrumented aircraft. Typically several hundreds of measurands (parameters) such as speed, altitude, and pressure, are monitored and telemetered to the ground receiving station for both real-time monitoring and storage for later post-test analysis. Prior to this transmission, measurands are digitally represented and place...

Abstract Objectives Definition and fullfillment of analytical performance specifications (APS) for measurement uncertainty (MU) allow to make laboratory determinations clinically usable. The 2014 Milan Strategic Conference have proposed models objectively derive APS based on: (a) the effect on clinical outcome; (b) biological variation components; (3) state art measurement, defined as highest l...

Although manufacturers are compelled by the European IVD Directive, 98/79/EC, to have traceability of the values assigned to their calibrators if suitable higher order reference materials and/or procedures are available, there is still no equivalence of results for many measurands determined in clinical laboratories. The adoption of assays with metrological traceable results will have a signifi...

Two experiments are presented studying interrelations between spatial properties of environments and both experience and spatial behavior. In order to systematically study such interrelations, a generic description of space is required that provides comparability between arbitrarily shaped environments and captures behaviorally relevant properties of space. In this study the suitability of isov...

The possibility of using fuzzy variables for describing measurands and their error characteristics is investigated. The elementary arithmetic operations within the limits of such representation are considered.

Results between different clinical laboratory measurement procedures (CLMP) should be equivalent, within clinically meaningful limits, to enable optimal use of clinical guidelines for disease diagnosis and patient management. When laboratory test results are neither standardized nor harmonized, a different numeric result may be obtained for the same clinical sample. Unfortunately, some guidelin...

The aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. For that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (Na(+), K(+), Cl, Ca(2+), P and Mg(2+)), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (HDL, LDL and...
