Recording monitoring data

The recording of monitoring results and related information should be such as to satisfy the objectives of the monitoring programme, which include the requirement to carry out a comparison of measured values with appropriate derived levels and, where appropriate, to calculate the annual dose to the average individual of the critical group and the collective doses. 

The interpretation of the results of monitoring procedures is taken to be an integral part of monitoring itself The assumptions used in the derivation and interpretation of the monitoring results form a key part of the results themselves and they should be recorded. 

To allow auditing of the monitoring data, records should be kept of all relevant intermediate results in the course of the analysis and of the parameters used for the calculation of the data reported. Records should also be kept of any investigations concerning unusual environmental occurrences. 

Data from source monitoring should be recorded to document the amounts of radiation emitted and the rates of emission, as well as the types, quantities and release rates of the radionuclides discharged, for the purpose of demonstrating that radiation doses and discharge rates and the annual discharges comply with the appropriate authorization. 

Detailed records of the measurements of radiation dose rates (including locations, times and instruments) and related information on the calibration of instruments should therefore be maintained. Similarly, detailed information about measurements of radionuclides in airborne and water-borne discharges should also be maintained. This includes information on discharge points, sampling periods, radioanalytical procedure(s) and instruments used and related data on instrument calibration. The details of measurements of the discharge flow rates that are correlated with the radionuclide measurements should also be retained, together with appropriate calibration data.

Figure 5 provides an example of AE monitoring data from 22.01.1997 to 03,03.1997, in terms of time history of the main plant parameters (fig.Sa), as well as of the AE RMS values (fig. 5b). Normally, very little or no events were recorded, with the exception of the above period, in which an AE activity, very much concentrated in time and space, could be observed a sharp step in cumulative AE events takes place in a short, well defined time interval. A smaller sharp step in EA events had been observed a few days earlier, in the same position. 

Air emissions at point of discharge should be monitored continuously for fluorides and particulates and aimually for ammonia and nitrogen oxides. Monitoring data should be analyzed and reviewed at regular intervals and compared with the operating standards so that any necessary corrective actions can be taken. Records of monitoring results should be kept in an acceptable format. The results should be reported to the responsible authorities and relevant parties, as required.

Linear polarization instruments provide an instantaneous corrosion-rate data, by utilizing polarization phenomena. These instruments are commercially available as two-electrode Corrater and three electrode Pairmeter (Figure 4-472). The instruments are portable, with probes that can be utilized at several locations in the drilling fluid circulatory systems. In both Corrater and Pairmeter, the technique involves monitoring electrical potential of one of the electrodes with respect to one of the other electrodes as a small electrical current is applied. The amount of applied current necessary to change potential (no more than 10 to 20 mV) is proportional to corrosion intensity. The electronic meter converts the amount of current to read out a number that represents the corrosion rate in mpy. Before recording the data, sufficient time should be allowed for the electrodes to reach equilibrium with the environment. The corrosion-rate reading obtained by these instruments is due to corrosion of the probe element at that instant [184]. 

The second improvement comes from the potential that computers have, in conjunction with newer processes, to dramatically reduce the cost and time required to monitor data. Most of monitoring involves comparing a source document, defined as the first place a piece of data was recorded, with what was written. Because data are often recorded by first entry in a patient record,... 

The smart shirt Sensatex, a New York-based company, is developing a shirt that is used to monitor patients vital signs. The shirt is made of an electro-optical fabric that transfers data from the wearer to the garment. A transceiver on the shirt records the data and sends it to a wireless gateway, from which it can be transmitted to the doctor. 

Quickly, but carefully, take the nickel out of the flame and drop it in the water. CAUTION Do not allow the hot nickel to touch the sides of the cup. Carefully stir the water with the temperature probe and monitor the temperature. Record in Data Table 1 the highest temperature that the water reaches. 

The conduct of explanatory trials will include close monitoring of the study in an attempt to ensure strict adherence to the protocol. There is likely to be exhaustive recording of data. In contrast, the conduct of pragmatic trials will tend to mirror real life. There will be attempts to minimise data recording, but there is hkely to be exhaustive follow-up of all patients.

The impact of atmospheric interactions can be realized by examining the air monitoring data in various cities. Records from Chicago, Washington, St. Louis, New York, Cincinnati, Denver, Philadelphia (8), and wherever air monitoring data are available, show the same evidence of atmospheric interaction as found in Los Angeles. Specifically the 03 and NOo concentrations in all cities tested are well above the levels at which detrimental biological effects occur.

The Quality Assurance organization has no mandated role in the development of computer systems other than defining QA fnnctional reqnirements. Once the system has been validated, accepted, and installed, QA will be responsible for monitoring data collection until its reliability is confirmed in accordance with SOP, compliance of nser SOPs, training, and secnrity policies. Any performance problems shonld be commnnicated to the responsible management persotmel in a timely fashion. QA shonld monitor corrective actions and nnschednled downtime records. 

Location of the monitored vials in the vial array on the shelf is also an important factor in recording representative data. Vials on the edge of an array (i.e., facing the dryer door or walls) normally are not representative of the vials in the interior of an array, which are surrounded by other vials.Due to differences in radiative heat transfer, such vials normally dry faster at a higher temperature. With a shelf temperature around 5°C, temperature bias is about 1°C, with drying time bias about and the effect increases...
