A typical flow chart describing the proof testing process is shown in Fig. X/2.2-1. Let the discussions begin with proof testing principles followed by types of tests and procedure. 

Similarly, the number and types of tests completed will influence the cost in ways that can be very complex. Recently, the author was involved in designing a proof-of-principle study intended to assess the ability of a dietary supplement to enhance weight loss among subjects instructed to follow a reduced energy diet. Sample size calculations were run for two scenarios, the first using change in body weight as the primary outcome variable, the... 

This performance was demonstrated in a proof-of-principle BWA contractor performance test conducted at ORNL early in 2002, and witnessed and reported31 by staff from the Dugway Proving Ground. This test was conducted... 

Since the proof-of-principle test, considerable improvements to the BWA monitoring method hardware and software were made by Hamilton Sund-strand Sensor Systems, and they are now being incorporated into LRIP units for the final phase of BWA method work. The BWA monitoring method and... 

Although only a dozen known metal complexes were tested in this manner, proof of principle was demonstrated. The test revealed Wilkinson s catalyst to be the most active hydrosilylating agent, its use in this type of reaction being known. However, the study also led to the discovery that a palladacycle, [Pd (o-tolyl)2PC6H4 (OAc)]2, which is usually considered to be potent in Heck reactions, is also an excellent hydrosilylation catalyst.37,38 Control experiments showed that the relative order of catalyst activity is the same when conventional substrates are used in place of the dyes (8). 

This still needs to be evaluated. The technology provider plans to test the new RDM at the vendor s facility prior to shipment. No proof of principle prior to this time is anticipated, especially demonstration of the efficacy of the tube-cutting concept for concurrent cutting of firing tubes and contained rockets. Also, the capability of the punch-and-drain and rocket-cutting operations to prevent agent contamination of energetics has not been demonstrated. 

Thus, because the test can be carried out on 96-well microtiter plates, high throughput is possible. Of course, the inherent disadvantage noted above for some of the colorimetric tests also applies here, namely, the fact that the optimization of a potential catalyst is focused on a specific substrate 11 modified by incorporation of a probe, in this case the fluorogenic moiety 14. However, one can expect the test to be useful in directed evolution projects in which proof of principle is the goal. Moreover, this kind of approach can be used in very practical applications, namely as a pre-test for the activity of enzymes. 

Acoustically enhanced remediation (AER) is an in situ remediation technology that uses acoustic excitation fields (AEFs) to enhance rates of fluid and contaminant extraction from a wide variety of soil types. Bench-scale proof-of-concept tests have been completed and were followed by larger scale laboratory experiments. According to the vendor, a field-scale proof-of-principle step has been planned. The vendor indicates that this technology is currently commercially available however, it is uncertain whether these field-scale tests have occurred. 

Figure 16 shows one of the former laboratory test buildups embodying the process of the invention. This test prototype was used for proof-of-principle and... 

The primary results of these first experiments from each facility were primarily proof-of-principle. Hussey et al.9 used a MCP detector with intrinsic spatial resolution of 25 pm and overall image resolution of about 30 pm. With this setup, a test section was operated in a differential cell mode, with a minimum stoichiometric ratio of about 50 on both the anode and cathode. Due to cell motion, it was not possible to quantify the total water content in the cell, but relative changes in the through-plane water content were observed from open circuit voltage, and the water content increased as a function of current density. 

As mentioned above, a differentiating peculiarity of this type of library is that it is constituted by compounds that have already been safely given to humans. Thus, if a compound were to hif with sufficient potency on an orphan target, there is a high chance that it could rapidly be tested in patients for Proof of Principle. This possibility represents another advantage of the SOSA approach. 

This can be done with a safe enough and selective enough drug that is far from perfect in terms of ease of administration, and the like, but good enough to test in patients the hypothesis and be a Proof of Principle that will strengthen those in the company with a weak heart to endure the additional expenses of 300-500 million, and years of new trials with the better to-be-marketed-final-drug. ...
