TRLs have the benefit of providing a common understanding of the status of a technology in its development pathway, a means of assessing and managing risk, and decision making concerning funding and implementation of technology. As with any management tool, there are certain limitations and disadvantages to its use. These include the creation of extra reporting, paperwork, reviews, lengthy adop...

Dent’s disease (MIM #300009) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by various degrees of proximal tubular (PT) dysfunction, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. The exact prevalence is unknown. The disease was first reported by Dent and Friedman, who described two males with vitamin D resistant rickets, hypercalciuria and low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP) (Dent & Friedman, 1964).

Let dent A denote the set of denting points of a subset A of some Banach space. We prove dent cl co( K ® L) = dent K ® dent L for closed, bounded, absolutely convex subsets K and L of Banach spaces X and Y. Here the closure refers to the completion of X ® Y w.r.t. some reasonable crossnorm.
