The Marine Irish Digital Atlas (MIDA) is an Internet resource built in a web GIS environment, where people interested in coastal and marine information for Ireland can visualize and identify pertinent geospatial datasets and determine where to acquire them. The atlas, which is being constantly maintained, currently displays more than 140 data layers from over 35 coastal and marine organizations both within Ireland and abroad. It also features an “InfoPort” which is a repository of text, imagery, links to spatial data sources and additional reference material for a wide range of coastal and marine topics. The MIDA team has been active in the creation of the International Coastal Atlas Network and the Atlas was chosen as one of the nodes for the Semantic Interoperability Demonstrator.

Selection Of

The fourth edition of Econometric Methods by Jack Johnston and John DiNardo, is a rewrite of the venerable third edition by Johnston that sustained several generations of economists. As stated by the authors themselves, the reason for undertaking this major revision is to provide a comprehensive and accessible account of currently available econometric methodology, and in my opinion they have been successful in achieving their objective. The book has 13 chapters and runs to 531 pages. Each chapter ends with a selection of problems, several of which are new to this edition. Answers are not provided, although a solutions manual is available. Two appendices, one on matrix algebra and the other on statistical preliminaries, are intended to make the book as self-contained as possible. Not unexpectedly, the appendices are somewhat tersely worded, and the reader may wish to supplement them with additional reference material. Conforming to current practice, the book is accompanied by a data diskette containing several data sets, allowing the reader to replicate the applications given in the text.

Abstract A method for the calculation of whey protein fraction was developed for milk-based infant formula products, based upon an amino acid ratio calculated from amino acid profile data. Total amino acid data from 21 commercially available (five casein and 16 whey) commodities were used as the reference data from which the calculation model used in the validation study was built. This method has been evaluated for precision (repeatability, intermediate precision) and accuracy on nonfat dry milk and products manufactured with targeted whey levels of 32–63%, including National Institute of Standards and Technology infant formula Standard Reference Material (1849a). Estimates of repeatability were between 0.3 and 2.5% while those for intermediate precision were between 2.6 and 3.4%. Average recovery ranged from 97 to 100%. Additional reference material data are being gathered for better estimation of casein and whey amino acid reference values.

In The Beginning

Every citizen will always be in touch with bureaucratic activities by government administration. Even when a person is still in his/her mother's womb he/she has begun to depend on bureaucratic service. Thus, theoretically and practically, the quality of management and professionalism of public services should be more oriented towards the goals of government paradigms based on new management approaches. So the spirit of government in building a clean and good governance can be achieved. This article was aimed to explore the phenomenon of bureaucratic pathology in government administration. Methodology used in this article was content analysis, one of the research approaches in qualitative research. Data were originated from the writer's reading of various theories, expert opinions and previous research results related to bureaucratic pathology. All data then collected, reduced, presented and closed with conclusions. In the beginning of this article authors begin with introduction, then related to bureaucracy, bureaucratic pathology, solving bureaucratic pathology problems, changing the pathology with the principle of good governance and concluding with the conclusion. The discussion of this article is expected to serve as an additional reference material for the community, academics, subsequent researchers who will address this issue in different contexts and issues

SummaryIn a collaborative trial of eleven laboratories which was performed mainly within the framework of the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR), a second reference material for thromboplastin, rabbit, plain, was calibrated against its predecessor RBT/79. This second reference material (coded CRM 149R) has a mean International Sensitivity Index (ISI) of 1.343 with a standard error of the mean of 0.035. The standard error of the ISI was determined by combination of the standard errors of the ISI of RBT/79 and the slope of the calibration line in this trial.The BCR reference material for thromboplastin, human, plain (coded BCT/099) was also included in this trial for assessment of the long-term stability of the relationship with RBT/79. The results indicated that this relationship has not changed over a period of 8 years. The interlaboratory variation of the slope of the relationship between CRM 149R and RBT/79 was significantly lower than the variation of the slope of the relationship between BCT/099 and RBT/79. In addition to the manual technique, a semi-automatic coagulometer according to Schnitger & Gross was used to determine prothrombin times with CRM 149R. The mean ISI of CRM 149R was not affected by replacement of the manual technique by this particular coagulometer.Two lyophilized plasmas were included in this trial. The mean slope of relationship between RBT/79 and CRM 149R based on the two lyophilized plasmas was the same as the corresponding slope based on fresh plasmas. Tlowever, the mean slope of relationship between RBT/79 and BCT/099 based on the two lyophilized plasmas was 4.9% higher than the mean slope based on fresh plasmas. Thus, the use of these lyophilized plasmas induced a small but significant bias in the slope of relationship between these thromboplastins of different species.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to determine whether the concentration of trisodium citrate used to anticoagulate blood has an effect on the INR of the sample and the ISI of the thromboplastin. Five thromboplastins including and Australian reference material were used to measure the prothrombin time of normal and patient samples collected into two concentrations of trisodium citrate - 109 mM and 129 mM. There was no effect of citrate concentration on the INRs determined with the reference material. However for the other four thromboplastins there was a significant difference between INRs for the two citrate groups. The prothrombin times of the samples collected into 129 mM were longer than those collected into 109 mM. This difference was only slight in normal plasma but more marked in patients receiving oral anticoagulants, causing the INRs for patient plasmas collected into 129 mM citrate to be higher then the corresponding samples collected into 109 mM citrate.From orthogonal regression of log prothrombin times by the reference method against each thromboplastin, we found that the ISI for each thromboplastin was approximately 10% lower when determined with samples collected into 129 mM citrate than with samples collected into 109 mM. These results suggest that the concentration of trisodium citrate used for collection of blood samples can affect the calculation of the INR and the calibration of the ISI of thromboplastin. This was found both for commercial thromboplastins prepared by tissue extraction and for a recombinant tissue factor.
