Data collection overview

Table 1. Data collection overview for photosynthetic reaction centers.

The intention of this chapter has been to provide an overview of analytical methods for predicting and reducing human error in CPI tasks. The data collection methods and ergonomics checklists are useful in generating operational data about the characteristics of the task, the skills and experience required, and the interaction between the worker and the task. Task analysis methods organize these data into a coherent description or representation of the objectives and work methods required to carry out the task. This task description is subsequently utilized in human error analysis methods to examine the possible errors that can occur during a task. 

When selecting a RM it is important that the user understands the mission of the producer, the way in which the matrix material has been produced and the analytical data collected. Information about the main CRM and RM producers together with a brief overview of their activities and lists their url or e-mail address can be also found at the BAM website see Table 8.4 below. 

It is remarkable that most of the data collected from the available SERMs are unanimous in reproducing an estrogen agonistic profile in venous thrombogenesis. The vast clinical experience acquired with tamoxifen confirms an augmented risk for both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. This increase, however, did not presuppose increased mortality in the overview of randomized trials of adjuvant tamoxifen for early breast cancer, where the one extra death per 5000 woman-years of tamoxifen attributed to pulmonary embolus was not statistically significant (Early Breast Cancer Trialists Collaborative Group 1998). 

Statistical analysis is essential In order to gain an overview of the very extensive data collected during such studies and to highlight any underlying trends. This analysis also aids in determining the non-toxic effect level required by regulatory authorities. 

This book provides a practical guide to various aspects of lipid analysis, covering topics from sample preparation (extraction, fractionation, and deri-vatization) to CC analysis. Various derivatization methods are discussed and specific procedures are given for each of them. The book provides a comprehensive overview of GC technology including instrumentation (i.e., column, oven, carrier gas, injector, and detector) and data collection. 

Samples were made available by the support of the Deep Sea Drilling Project and the Ocean Drilling Program. This overview work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), grant No. We 346/27, while the original data collection have been financially supported by the DFG with grant Nos. We 346/21, We 346/23, We 346/24 and We 346/25. 

Before discussing safety assessment in clinical trials, an overview of clinical trials is presented. This is pertinent to the discussion of safety data in this chapter and also to the discussion of efficacy data collected in clinical trials that follows in Chapter 11. 

This book is devoted to the properties, preparation and applications of zinc oxide (ZnO) as an transparent electrode material. It focuses on ZnO for thin film solar cell applications and hopefully inspires also readers from related fields. The book is structured into three parts to serve both as an overview as well as a data collection for students, engineers and scientists. The first part, Chaps. 1-4, provide an overview of the application and fundamental material properties of ZnO films and their surface and interfaces properties. Chaps. 5-7 review thin film deposition techniques applied for ZnO preparation on lab scale but also for large area production. Finally, Chaps. 8 and 9 are devoted to applications of ZnO in silicon- and chalcopyrite-based thin film solar cells, respectively. One should note that the application of CVD grown ZnO in silicon thin film cells is discussed earlier in Chap. 6.

In this text, we are not specifically concerned with quantitative phase analyses of multiple phase mixtures, except for a single example considered in section 7.3.8, below. Interested reader is referred to an excellent overview given by R.J, Hill, Data collection strategies fitting the experiment to the need, in R.A. Young, Ed., The Rietveld method, Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York (1993). 

The current excitement in powder diffraction is in quantitative analysis of the data. The book is laid out in a way that facilitates understanding the information content of the data, as well as best practices for collecting and analyzing data for quantitative analysis. After a very brief overview of the basic theory of diffraction from crystals and powders, data collection strategies are described, including X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction setups using modern-day apparatus including synchrotron sources. Data corrections that are essential... 

Recent developments of pulsed light sources, optical components, fast and sensitive detectors and electronic equipment for data collection and analysis have permitted the construction of numerous instruments, often commercially available, for the collection of luminescence data with excellent resolution in time, spectral distribution and space. The sensitivity has reached the ultimate level that allows the characterization of such properties for single molecules (see Section 3.13). Only an overview of some of these techniques is given here. 

The objective of this chapter is to review available stable isotopic data on seafloor hydrothermal systems. However, this goes far beyond a simple literature review because much new, previously unpublished data, collected by the author, is included. In addition, an important goal of this chapter is to interpret the stable isotope systematics of seafloor hydrothermal systems in the context of fluid-rock reactions and geochemical reaction calculations. Boiling and supercritical phase-separation, volcanic eruption and dike-emplacement events, addition of magmatic volatiles, and bacterial fractionation processes will be discussed where applicable. In addition to the commonly measured stable isotopes of C, O, H, and S, stable isotope ratios of B, Li, N, Cl, Cu, and Fe are included where data are available. Much new data has appeared since the last comprehensive overview of stable isotopes in seafloor hydrothermal systems (Shanks et al. 1995). This includes a wealth of information on hydrothermal systems related to volcanic arcs, back-arc spreading centers, seamounts, and serpentinized ultramafics.
