Observation data reviewing

Definitions for the experimental onset of instability are not universal, and were often reported as the onset of density wave oscillations, not static instability, obtained by usually raising the power until some unstable or oscillating flow was observed. Data review yielded over 300 data points, extracted from 30 years of the literature, covering a range of pressures from 0.1 to 19 MPa,(i.e. nearly 1-190 bars), for tubes, rod bundles and parallel channels. In Figure 3, the data and theory are shown, with the density wave data cluster at the lower subcoolings and powers. 

Audits by definition are conducted on-site. An audit may be conducted using a variety of approaches and guides, but in general involves a team that gathers data through interviews, observation, and review of documentation. The team usually includes at least two people depending on the complexity of the facility or processes under review, tWs may expand to as many as five or more. 

I ll review here three different scenarios that still appear viable (based on the currently available data for the Milky Way see summary in Fig. 3). For each example I have chosen one or two references that have done detailed models as illustrations to compare the observational data to. This is not an exhaustive account for all the possibilities within each scenario but it gives a flavour of the types of comparisons we ought to make and, hopefully it also illustrates the shortcomings both of the observed as well as simulated data. 

In the next section each light nuclide is considered in turn, its post-BBN evolution briefly reviewed along with identification of a few of the potential challenges to accurately inferring the primordial abundances from the observational data. Then, having established that the current data - taken at face value - are not entirely consistent with SBBN, I investigate whether changes in the early universe expansion rate can reconcile them. 

Observational data and their interpretation have been reviewed many times, notably by... 

Validation of models is desired but can be difficult to achieve. Models are empirically validated by examining how output data (predictions) compare with observed data (such comparisons, of course, must be conducted on data sets that have not been used to create or specify the model). However, model validations conducted in this manner are difficult given limitations on data sources. As an alternative approach, model credibility can be assessed by a careful examination of the subcomponents of the model and inputs. One should ask the question Does the selection of input variables and the way they are processed make sense Also, confidence in the model may be augmented by peer reviews and the opinion of the scientific community. Common faults and shortcomings are... 

Taken together, the data reviewed here show that forced swim stress induces a highly differentiated (putatively CRH-dependent) response in serotoniner-gic neurotransmission in higher brain structures, with the final outcome of the manipulation depending on the exact experimental design. Moreover, the dramatic CRH receptor-dependent increase in hippocampal 5-HT as observed...

Food and Drug Administration scientists evaluate the safety studies to determine whether or not the results support a conclusion that the product can be used safely. Until the mid-1970s, the underlying assumption in the agency review was that the reports submitted to the agency accurately described study conduct and precisely reported the study data. A suspicion that this assumption was mistaken was raised in the agency s review of studies submitted by a major pharmaceutical manufacturer in support of new drug applications for two important therapeutic products. Review scientists observed data inconsistencies and evidence of unacceptable laboratory practices in the study reports. 

The conformation-dependent contribution to chemical shifts that is best understood is the ring-current contribution associated with conjugated groups. Various functional forms have been tested and calibrated against observed data (41-43). The basic ideas may be found in textbooks (8) and reviews (41). The general form of ring current contributions is ... 

Rowley et al. (2001), Currie et al. (2005), Rowley and Currie (2006), and Rowley and Garzione (2007) have reviewed various comparisons of modern day observed isotopic compositions with those predicted by application of this model. For the most part these comparisons have been quite favorable with a fairly close ( -500 m) match between known and predicted elevations. In the next section additional comparisons are made between various model predictions relative to observed data from the modern world where there is essentially no uncertainty in either the measured isotopic composition or the elevations of various samples. 

Specifically, the data reviewed in Chapters 12 and 13 indicate that LCM are rapidly removed from the circulation by the tumor the maximum accumulation of LCM in the tumor area occurs within the first 30 min after administration (ref. 531). These rapid kinetics for LCM uptake are quite consistent with the well-documented kinetics long-known for the LDL receptor-mediated endocytic pathway (ref. 616). For example, Goldstein et al. (ref. 643) reported that LDL-ferritin bound to coated pits at 4°C is rapidly internalized when fibroblasts in tissue culture are warmed to 37°C. In this uptake process, the coated pits invaginate to form coated endocytic vesicles. After 5 to 10 min at 37°C, LDL-ferritin is observed in lysosomes as the result of their fusion with the incoming coated vesicles (ref. 643). The rapid sequence of events visualized in electron micrographs precisely parallels biochemically-derived data on the rapid uptake and degradation of radiolabeled LDL (ref. 644,645). 

Until the mid-1970s, the assumption on the part of the FDA was that preclinical studies submitted by the sponsor were well conducted, analyzed, and reported. In the mid-1970s the FDA began to have questions about the uniformity and quality of the studies submitted to it as part of an NDA. During the process of reviewing study reports, scientists at the FDA observed data inconsistencies and evidence of unacceptable laboratory practices [10]. 

Randomized trials and systematic reviews of trials, therefore, provide the most reliable data on the effects of treatment. That is not to say, however, that non-randomized studies cannot sometimes provide reliable evidence on the benefits of intervention. Few people would doubt the validity of the observational data on the benefits of antibiotic treatment in bacterial meningitis or the benefits of treatment with levodopa in Parkinson s disease. Similarly, clinical guidelines have been revised worldwide on the basis of the non-randomized evidence of the substantial reduction in the risk of early recurrent stroke (see Fig. 19.2, p. 245) as a result of the urgent initiation of standard secondary prevention (Rothwell et al. 2007). 

Medication error data collection and analysis for clinical use and quality improvement are also complex activities. Observational data, post hoc review of medical records, and self-reporting have all have been used with varying degrees of success for research and functional applications. Each offers strengths and weaknesses, and the appropriate method for data collection is in large part a function of its intended use and the resources available to collect it. 

Other books of interest include Lewis and Prinn (1984), which emphasizes the use of observational data for understanding the origin, evolution, and present-day chemistry of planetary atmospheres. Krasnopolsky (1986) focuses on chemistry of the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. He also reviews the atmospheric composition, thermal structure, and cloud measurements by the Soviet Venera and Vega missions. Chamberlain and Hunten (1987) is the classic... 

It may be concluded that the observed data for 13 elements (except for the selenium) and the seven other constituents specified for potable water are in concurrence with all the laboratories whose data is submitted to Environmental Laboratory Program, New York State Department of Health. [After the constructive criticism from the reviewers, the unsatisfactory results for the Ag, Cd, Sb and Se elements were repeated. Cd values have improved by changing the wavelength from 217 to 226 nm. For antimony we have used a new standard and the value improved. For silver the number of washings before aspiration was tripled and the result improved. The selenium range is still not very satisfactory, but our efforts to improve upon this are in progress and we are positive about it.] The method detection limits, RSD s, and the instru-...
