Abstract:
... External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are well-established tools with which to evaluate, monitor and improve the output quality of clinical laboratories, recognising that high quality laboratory medicine is essential for patient care. EQA programs involve the testing of multiple laboratories and the statistical comparison of their results, according to a multistep workflow. New clinical labora ...

Abstract:
... The numerical complexity of Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations generally forces an idealisation of DEM models, making the calibration process the key to realistic simulation results. When calibrating cohesionless, free-flowing bulk materials, individual simple experiments are commonly used as reference for the calibration, such as the angle of repose in various test methods. Regardless of t ...

Abstract:
... For the labelling of added water in fish fillets and other unprocessed fishery products in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1169/2011, it is essential to know the natural species-specific water content of the fish meat. This knowledge serves as a basis for the detection of undeclared water addition to fish products in order to prevent food fraud. As there are few studies focusing on the referen ...

In equine management, it is important to predict the approximate foaling date of mares to monitor parturition and allow early identification and intervention of problems during the perinatal period. There are no studies comparing accurate gestational length (GL) when mares are carrying mule foals and no controlled comparisons between GL of mares pregnant with equine or mule foals. Therefore, the o ...
