Spent fuel casks are of type B. For the movement of spent fuel, computer tracking systems are used. State radiological safety units are informed of shipments of spent fuel and other high activity radioactive materials so that these units may respond in case of accident.

Full inventory chemical tracking system designed to extract Tier I and Tier II information for assistance in reporting. 

MSDS recording and tracking system Used to maintain employee and inventory records. 

Fast-track registration systems now exist in Australia, Cypms, Estonia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Tunisia and Zimbabwe (see Table 8.1), although probably not all of them were established as a result of political pressure. Different fast-track systems serve different purposes. In Australia, Cypms and Malaysia, fast-track registration is intended to facilitate the assessment and registration of new dmgs for treating serious, life-... 

In Venezuela, there is no official fast-track system. However, brief-mode registration is available for generic products for which a bioavailabilily study has been undertaken. Similarly, Malaysia has an abridged procedure for registration of products classified as non-scheduled poisons. This type of simplified procedure does not, in essence, differ from the use of less stringent registration requirements for certain categories of products as seen, for example, for herbal medicines in Australia and the Netherlands. 

Priority Lists, Risk Assessment process and tracking system in relation to Council Regulation (EEC) 793/93 also known as Existing Substances Regulation (ESR). 

Monitoring corrective action plans and schedules can be done manually. However, a computerized database can also be used to track all corrective actions. A computerized tracking system is of particular benefit when a large number of activities must be monitored. As a minimum, the system for tracking the status of corrective actions should ...

We assume a knowledge of the possible state covariances P generated by the tracking system. This knowledge is statistical and is represented by a probability distribution F(P) over the space of all positive definite matrices.

WCA-CFAR. If a-priori information about the target position is made available by the tracking system the adaptive threshold can be lowered. A CFAR method called weighted CA-CFAR uses this and was proposed by Barkat, Himonas and Varshney [30].

Owing in part to the excellent, sophisticated computerized tracking systems extant within CRLs, sponsors can utilize this asset to form the basis of a simple, cosf-effecfive, real-time trial status system. While not as potent as a Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), this approach supports study metrics that may be adequate for multiple sife fri-als involving nutraceuticals and nafural producfs. 

Setpoint changes can also be made, particularly in batch processes or in changing from one operating condition to another in a continuous process. These setpoint changes also act as disturbances to the dosedloop system. The function of the feedback controller is to drive the controlled variable to match the new setpoint. The dosedloop response to a setpoint disturbance is called the servo response (from the early applications of feedback control in mechanical servomechanism tracking systems). 

Bunce et al. [13], in a review of the application of robotics to clinical chemistry, have also attempted to classify the main types of robot available in a simple fashion. For example, robots may be static (i.e. floor, bench or ceiling mounted) or mobile on a tracked system.

Of course, one must ask whether a combination of DMSO and betaine would be of even greater benefit for spot quality. Hessner et al. (2003a), in efforts to develop a tracking system to measure microarray performance, found that 1.5 M betaine in 3% DMSO provided the greatest probe retention on PLL slides. Their major concern was fhat when cDNA probes were printed at low concentration (<100 ng/pL), one could not accurately distinguish expression differences. 

U.S. Federal law (the Recourse Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, known as RCRA) requires a national cradle to grave tracking system for hazardous waste. In the State of Massachusetts, for instance, every shipment of hazardous waste by a large or small generator must be transported by a licenced hauler and sent to a licenced treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSD) or a permitted recycling facility, and it must be accompanied by a multipart shipping document, called the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest. 

Before a clinical trial starts, the use of technical aids such as IVRT, remote data entry and electronic diaries has to be considered. In Section 7.5.3.3, mention will be made of the use of electronic tracking system that provide status and monitoring reports. All these systems utilise computer systems that must be validated. Double and McKendry described computer validation as the process which documents that a computer system reproducibly performs the functions it was designed to do. The document Guidance for Industry - Computerised Systems used in Clinical Trials published by the FDA in 1999 gives clear recommendations of what is required (also see Section 7.5.4.1).
