EQA in molecular diagnostics

Biochemia medica, 2006
Uvod:Zbog razvoja molekularne dijagnostike, raste broj laboratorija koji koristi ovu metodologiju, što nameće potrebu za standardizacijom, a to znači i sudjelovanje u shemama vanjske procjene kvalitete. Cilj:Prikazati rezultate sudjelovanja u međunarodnim programima kontrole kvalitete, dobivene uporabom standardiziranih metoda u molekularnoj ...

A Probabilistic Approach to Quantify the Uncertainty of the 1 Min Irradiance Estimates from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Radiation Service

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 22, November 2025.
This paper presents the development and evaluation of a probabilistic uncertainty model for the CAMS radiation service irradiance estimates. This model is based on the conditioning of the cumulative distribution function of the deviations to the model inputs.

UK recommendations for chimerism testing and monitoring following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): Best practice consensus guidelines from the British Society for Blood and Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapies (BSBMTCT), NHS England Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH) Haematological Malignancies Working Group, UK Cancer Genetics Group (UKCGG) and the UK National External Quality Assessment Service for Leucocyte Immunophenotyping (UK NEQAS LI)

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 207, Issue 5, Page 1802-1814, November 2025.
Summary In allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), important clinical decisions depend upon assessment of chimerism, including immunosuppressant dosing and donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), which in turn can have major impacts on disease control, graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD), immunity and ultimately patient survival.

Leptogenesis in Complex Hybrid Inflation

, 2008
We study the transference of an initial leptonic charge contained in a complex scalar field (waterfall field) at the end of the inflation to the leptons of the standard model and then convert this leptonic charge in baryonic charge by sphaleron process ...

Kinetic Analysis of Discrete Path Sampling Stationary Point Databases

, 2006
Analysing stationary point databases to extract phenomenological rate constants can become time-consuming for systems with large potential energy barriers. In the present contribution we analyse several different approaches to this problem.
