Commutability and traceability in EQA programs
Clinical Biochemistry, 2018 The concept of commutability of samples has focused laboratories on the importance of traceability. However, the critical role of External Quality Assurance (EQA) in achieving the primary role of traceability (i.e. facilitating comparable patient results in different laboratories) has largely been lost.

Viscosity coefficients for hadron and quark-gluon phases
, 2010 The shear ($\eta$) and bulk ($\zeta$) viscosities are calculated in a quasiparticle relaxation time approximation. The hadron phase is described within the relativistic mean field based model with scaled hadron masses and couplings.

Lingering Issues in Distributed Scheduling [PDF]
, 2013 Recent advances have resulted in queue-based algorithms for medium access control which operate in a distributed fashion, and yet achieve the optimal throughput performance of centralized scheduling algorithms.

Global Delivery of Foetal Sequencing: Do We Need Some Standardisation?
Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The development of sequencing technologies has resulted in rapid expansion in the testing available for foetuses with structural anomalies to diagnose monogenic disorders. To understand the variability in how foetal sequencing services are delivered, we developed a survey that focussed on the scope of testing, any parallel testing ...

Ultrafast reaction‐sintering of grain size‐controlled titanium niobate from TiO2 and Nb2O5
International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science, 2021 TiNb2O7 is a promising alternative to graphite anodes currently employed in lithium‐ion batteries. The material offers a high specific capacity, good cycling stability, and better safety characteristics. The solid‐state reaction between TiO2 and Nb2O5 is

Two component dark matter with multi-Higgs portals [PDF]
, 2015 With the assistance of two extra groups, i.e., an extra hidden gauge group $SU(2)_D$ and a global $U(1)$ group, we propose a two component dark matter (DM) model.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.
