В статье рассмотрен вопрос оценки качества работ по устройству асфальтобетонного покрытия уже введенных в эксплуатацию автомобильных дорог на основании действующей нормативной документации и дана оценка объективности данных методов. Предложен оптимальный вариант оценки с учетом эксплуатационных и природно-климатических факторов, воздействующих на а...
Landscape-architectural analysis as a method of urban environment quality assessment applied for historical part of Yekaterinburg. The essence of the method and its results are in the paper. A scheme of the environment quality on the city map developed based on the research. Streets and intersections, which have a great importance for the transport...

Mathematical modelling can help to optimally organise the workload in the histopathology laboratory by predicting the performance of possible interventions before actual implementation. The interventions that were predicted by the model to have the highest performance have been implemented in the histopathology laboratory of University Medical Cent...

It is well recognised that genomic, proteomic and biomarker studies require properly annotated and well-characterised biospecimens. Consequently, this necessitates biobanks to collect, store and distribute biospecimens under stringent quality control and assurance measures. However, despite this realisation, there remains a lack of standardisation ...

Quality control (QC) for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis routinely incorporates archived specimens for on-slide control material. We have assessed the utility of cell-line-derived xenograft (CDX) tumours for QC in breast estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) biomarker testing. Immunoblot and IHC analyses were used to select cell...

Histochemical staining of tissue is a fundamental technique in tissue diagnosis and research, but it suffers from significant variability. Efforts to address this include laboratory quality controls and quality assurance schemes, but these rely on subjective interpretation of stain quality, are laborious and have low reproducibility. We aimed (1) t...

The results obtained lead us to reconsider the TAT established with our day hospitals in order to know if priority has to be reviewed or if there are failures in follow-up results. 'Enquiry time' appears to be a powerful tool in detecting these issues and shows that TATs are no longer just a 'laboratory problem'.

Although the autopsy is still the gold standard for quality assessment of clinical diagnoses, autopsy rates have been declining over the last decades to 2 days was significantly associated with a lower frequency of class III minor discrepancies. Microscopic examination contributed to establishing cause of death in 19.6% of the cases. Discrepant fin...
Mixtures of parent compounds and their transformation products (TPs) cause additional adverse effects due to aspects of mixture toxicity. Emerging contaminants (ECs) are a field of increasing interest in environmental research and monitoring. Recent research studies have led to the development and testing of new assessment and modelling tools that ...
