German-Wide Interlaboratory Study Compares Consistency, Accuracy and Reproducibility of Whole-Genome Short Read Sequencing.
2020
We compared the consistency, accuracy and reproducibility of next-generation short read sequencing between ten laboratories involved in food safety (research institutes, state laboratories, universities and companies) from Germany and Austria. Participants were asked to sequence six DNA samples of three bacterial species (Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica) in duplicate, according to their routine in-house sequencing protocol. Four different types of Illumina sequencing platforms (MiSeq, NextSeq, iSeq, NovaSeq) and one Ion Torrent sequencing instrument (S5) were involved in the study. Sequence quality parameters were determined for all data sets and central…
Down and out in Italian towns: Measuring the impact of economic downturns on crime
2016
The paper investigates the effect of local economic conditions on crime. The study focuses on Italy’s local labor markets and analyzes the response of crime to the severe slump of 2007-2011. It shows that the downturn led to a significant increase in economic-related offenses that do not require particular criminal skills or tools (namely, thefts).
Validation of Dissolution Testing with Biorelevant Media: An OrBiTo Study.
2017
Dissolution testing with biorelevant media has become widespread in the pharmaceutical industry as a means of better understanding how drugs and formulations behave in the gastrointestinal tract. Until now, however, there have been few attempts to gauge the reproducibility of results obtained with these methods. The aim of this study was to determine the interlaboratory reproducibility of biorelevant dissolution testing, using the paddle apparatus (USP 2). Thirteen industrial and three academic laboratories participated in this study. All laboratories were provided with standard protocols for running the tests: dissolution in FaSSGF to simulate release in the stomach, dissolution in a singl…
An interlaboratory study as useful tool for proficiency testing of chemical oxygen demand measurements using solid substrates and liquid samples with…
2009
In 2008, the first Proficiency Testing Scheme of Chemical Oxygen Demand (1stCOD-PTADG) was conducted to assess the results obtained for different research groups whose field work is mainly anaerobic digestion. This study was performed using four samples, two solid samples as raw materials and two solid samples to prepare high concentration suspended solid solutions. Invitations were sent to a large number of laboratories, mainly to anaerobic digestion research groups. Finally, thirty labs from sixteen countries agreed to participate, but for different reasons four participants could not send any data. In total, twenty-six results were reported to the COD-PT coordinator. This study showed th…
Asaru osmolaritāte dažādu profesiju pārstāvjiem
2019
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā datorsalikumā uz 34 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 19 attēlus, 4 tabulas, 33 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt vides faktoru ietekmi uz asaru osmolaritāti, salīdzināt ar ārā strādājošo dalībnieku rezultātiem ar iekšā strādājošo dalībnieku rezultātiem. Pētījums tika veikts 2. posmos, 1. posms anketēšanas daļa kurā piedalījās 200 cilvēku, 2. posms kurā notika osmolaritātes mērījumi, piedalījās 105 cilvēki. Rezultāti pieradīja, kad gaisa relatīvais mitrums atstāj ietekmi uz asaru osmolaritāti un nav būtisku izmaiņu starp dalībnieku grupām.
