International controls

The ratings and sizes of main components and cables can be selected from manufacturers catalogues. But cables required for the switchgear internal control and power wirings, being typical of all, are normally identified by their cross-sectional area rather than the current ratings. We have therefore piovided the technical data and current ratings for the most common sizes of such cables for a ready reference in Table 13.15.

It was expected that an eggshell thickness of scale would form, but that it would be relatively soft and easily removed (despite normally containing some silicate and sulfate). However, a disadvantage of this method of internal control was that the carbonate degraded to form carbon dioxide, and at higher pressures the rate of breakdown was so great that the necessary carbonate reserve required to prevent sulfate scale often could not be maintained. (Never mind the danger to the steam and condensate lines from the production of carbon dioxide and ultimately carbonic acid.)... 

The first DNA preparations in this part of the study was PCR product - DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis 17 > bp), in the presence of a smaller by molecular mass internal control of human DNA. After migration the gel was exposured for 5, 30, 300 and 600 seconds by transilluminator Vilber Lourmat, equipped with 6 UV lamps with irradiance W = 0,24 W/m2 and 254 nm filter. The degree of structural integrity loss of amplificated DNA was evaluated by the decrease of brightness intensity of the of the bands processed by using the tools of "ImageJ" computer program.

FIGURE 20.2 The involvement of RARE on apo-lO -lycopenoic acid-transactivated RARp expression. Upper panel Diagram of the RARp reporter vector with wild type and mutated R AREs. Lower panel HeLa cells transfected with the RARp reporter vector and an internal control vector were treated with 5 pmol/I. of apo-lO -lycopenoic acid or 1 pmol/L of all-trans retinoic acid for 24h. Luciferase activities were measured by dual-luciferase reporter system. Values are means of SEM of three replicate assays., statistically significantly different, as compared with control in the same group, P < 0.05.

The PCR primers and the fluorogenic probes for the studied targets were designed using the Primer Express Software 1.7 (PE Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA). To normalize the quantitative data, specific probes for the TATA-bind-ing protein mRNA were used as an internal control. 

Fig. 11.3 Effect of HU on ET-1 mRNA expression in the TrHBMEC (a) and EA-hy 926 (b) endothelial cells in culture. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to assess the level of ET-1 mRNA in at least four independent experiments in duplicate. Results are expressed in percentage of residual ET-1 mRNA expression for HU-treated cells as compared to the control (culture with or without cytokines). The TATA-binding protein mRNA was used as an internal control. The abbreviations are the same as in the legend for Figure 11.2.

Figure 1.2 Examples of immunostaining intensity from comparison of pRB-IHC in 27 cases of FFPE tissues of bladder cancer (Table 1.4). (A-D) Negative (<10%) showing a few weak positive nuclei (arrows) (E-H) moderate positive (>10%) (I-P) strong positive (>50%). Arrows indicate positive nuclear staining for some lymphocytes or other stromal cells as an internal control. Note the lack of nuclear hematoxylin counterstaining due to low pH AR treatment. The order of cases are indicated in Table 1.4. Reproduced with permission from Shi et al.. Biotech. Histochem. 2007 82 301-309. See color insert.

Some investigators raised questions challenging housekeeping genes or proteins that were recommended as internal controls due to the variable gene/ protein expression that exists in various tissue or organs.35,36...

The endpoint measurement of the ideal test system must be objective, so that a given compound will give similar results when tested using the standard test protocol in different laboratories. If it is not possible to obtain reproductive results in a given laboratory over time or between various laboratories, then the historical database against which new compounds are evaluated will be time- and laboratory-dependent. Along these lines, it is important for the test protocol to incorporate internal standards to serve as quality controls. Thus, test data could be represented utilizing a reference scale based on the test system response to the internal controls. Such normalization, if properly documented, could reduce intertest variability. 

The fuel cell coolant system uses a liquid fluorinated hydrocarbon and transfers the waste heat from the cell stack through the fuel cell heat exchanger of the fuel cell power plant to the Freon-21 coolant loop system in the midfuselage. Internal control of the circulating fluid keeps the cell stack at an operating temperature of approximately 200°F. 

Both biochemical and X-ray crystallographic data show that binding of TFIIIA to the 5S rRNA gene internal control region utilizes all but the fourth and sixth of the nine zinc fingers of the transcription factor (Figure 12.15). 

This book reviews one extensive group of substances, flavourings (Chapter 9), that is being brought into international controls on additives. It also considers three major groups of widely-controlled additives in detail artificial sweeteners (Chapter 10), substances used as colourings (Chapter 8), and antioxidants (Chapter 12). A more general review of the other additives and how they are controlled is presented in Chapter 11. 

HIV-1 RNA in plasma can also be quantitated by a branched-DNA (bDNA) signal amplification assay which has a quantitation limit of 1 x 104 HIV-1 eq/ml. A novel internally controlled PCR assay (ICPCR) has been used to quantitate HIV-1 Gag DNA and RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and plasma. The linear range of amplification for the ICPCR assay is between 10° and 103 copies for HIV-1 DNA, while for HIV-1 RNA the amplification range is from 101 to 104 copies. The ICPCR assay correlates with the bDNA signal amplification assay for the quantitation of HIV-1 RNA, although subtle differences between the two assays were noted (G2). Nevertheless, the fall in HIV-1 RNA levels in plasma in response to antiretroviral therapy was comparable with both the bDNA and ICPCR assays.
