Templates standard format

As you can see, reports are used a lot at work. When the same kind of report is used frequently in a work situation, there is often a standard format or maybe even an electronic template that you can use to write up the report. If your company doesn t give you a specific format or template to follow, you can use the guidelines in this lesson to write your reports. 

There is no standard format for use case specifications. The above is the Alistair Cockburn format, which can be found at his website — alistair. cock-burn.us or in his book (Cockburn, 2001). The template is available for download from the website. Another popular format is the IBM Rational RUP format that can be downloaded from http //www 128.ibm.com/developer-works/ rational/library/4152.html. 

Korfmacher and co-workers have increased efficiency through streamlined and standardized rehnement of the bioanalytical process [119]. Their approach, known as cassette-accelerated rapid rat screen (CARRS), is based around a 96-well template that accommodates six compounds dosed via single-compound administration. Higher efficiency is achieved through the use of abbreviated standard curve.s (25, 250, and 2500 ng/mL), time points that are pooled from multiple animals, and the use of a standardized format. 

The system consists of different parts. A central database stores data and information in form of data files in standardized format and ontology-related additional information about resources. The central repository is based on a DB2 -Database, with the XML-Extender w and the Text-Extender . Web-based user interfaces provide maintenance and retrieval functions. Office -Templates (with Visual Basic Wizards) form the other... 

To assist an organisation to record and document its safe systems of work many will adopt a standard format such as the use of a template. This is particularly prevalent in the construction industry sector where templates for the production of method statements exist. Whichever format is developed it is likely that it will need to include as a minimum ... 

Standardized processes and methods involve well-described, reproducible, and usually sequential steps to accomplish a stated objective. The EOP guides response and recovery using standardized formats and the ICS. Standardized processes contribute to efficiency in all four phases of emergency management. Use standardized templates from the ICS to help develop incident action plans, conduct briefings, and complete situation reports.

It is very likely that a PDF will have been developed by the end of the second, third or, at the latest, fourth meeting. The plan details the needs of fhe menfee, fhe objectives, fhe agreed means for achieving fhese and fhe envisaged timescales. To show you what a simple PDF format looks like, we have included a standard template (Figure 6.3). Feel free fo add your own elements to it, though ... 

The acidic conditions of standard SBA-15 synthesis [35] cause the precipitation of metal nanoparticles without silica encapsulation, or the formation of amorphous silica due to the presence of the polymer used for nanoparticle synthesis. Therefore, the SBA-15 framework was synthesized under neutral condition using sodium fluoride as a hydrolysis catalyst and tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) as the silica precursor. Pt particles with different sizes were dispersed in the aqueous template polymer solution sodium fluoride and TMOS were added to the reaction mixture. The slurry aged at 313 K for a day, followed by an additional day at 373 K. Pt(X)/SBA-15-NE (X = 1.7, 2.9, 3.6, and 7.1nm) catalysts were obtained by ex-situ calcination (see Section 3.2). TEM images of the ordered... 

Scheme 2. Encapsulation of size- and shape-controlled Pt nanoparticles under neutral hydrothermal synthesis conditions of SBA-15. Silica templating block copolymers and silica precursors were added to PVP-protected Pt nanoparticle solutions and subjected to the standard SBA-15 silica synthesis conditions. Neutral, rather than acidic pH conditions were employed to prevent particle aggregation and amorphous silica formation [16j. (Reprinted from Ref. [16], 2006, with permission from American Chemical Society.)...

The reaction protocol was further extended to the concise synthesis of poly-oxamic acid, the unique polyhydroxyamino acid side-chain moiety of the antifungal polyoxin antibiotics (63). Treatment of the template 205 under standard thermal cycloaddition conditions with (5)-glyceraldehyde acetonide led to the formation of a single diastereoisomer 208 in 53% yield. Subsequent template removal released polyoxamic acid 209 in essentially quantitative yield. This represents a matched system, with the mismatched system leading to more complex reaction mixtures (Scheme 3.70). 

In order to show that HIT-1 was a-helix compatible and induces a-helical conformations in short peptides from the N- and C-terminus as well as from internal positions, template-linked peptides have been compared to nonconstrained reference peptides. In the N- and C-cap projects a hydrophobic 12-mer peptide was used as a standard reference. The 12-mer reference peptide 104 was originally developed for host guest experiments to evaluate the a-helix propensities of unnatural amino acids (see Section II.A) and had later been used to confirm N-cap induced helix formation.141,202,214 In the C-cap series and for position-independent templates the same reference peptide could be used after minor modification of the terminal protection groups. The suitably protected reference peptide and the corresponding template-linked model peptides used for the evaluation of N-terminal, C-terminal, and internal helix induction are depicted in Figure 39. 

A high-throughput assay for bacterial RNA polymerase has been successfully developed and validated using a 96-well, automated format [70], The reaction mixture contained a DNA template, nucleotide substrates (NTPs), supplemented with a-33P-labeled CTP in Tris-acetate buffer (pH 6.8). The polymerase reaction was carried out at 34°C for 40 min (providing linear kinetics). The effect of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), the usual solvent for test compounds used in a screen, was taken into consideration. The radiolabeled RNA transcripts were allowed to bind diethyl aminoethyl (DEAE) beads, which were then separated via filtration, and radioactivity associated with the wells was quantitated to measure the RNA polymerase activity. The standard deviation of the measured activity was typically < 15% of the average. Use of this assay to screen for RNA polymerase inhibitors from chemical libraries and natural products led to the identification of DNA intercalators (known to inhibit RNA polymerase activity), rifampicin (a known inhibitors of RNA polymerase), and several derivatives of rifampicin from Actinomycetes extracts. Therefore this assay can be reliably utilized to detect novel inhibitors of bacterial RNA polymerase.
