These include the recognition and protection of all European designations of origin and geographical indications (PDOs and PGIs), pest management, reduction of antibiotics in live-stock farming, animal identification systems, green public procurement, the safety of pharmaceutical products and medical devices, and the uniform introduction of an improved test cycle for light vehicles.
Individual markers demonstrate good diagnostic tests, and in combination provide an improved test for both polyps and cancer (ROC=0.810).
In this article, an improved test strip reader is presented.
This paper presents an improved testing system for isothermal and thermal-cycling experiments of polymers in compression.
After the district approved a ballot initiative in 2008, for example, it began rewarding schools monetarily for improved test scores — a compromise, but not quite the merit pay for teachers that the Obama administration has pushed for.
Consequently, there is an urgent need for improved test systems that have the capacity to predict toxicity in a human-specific manner and in an early phase of drug development.
By avoiding arbitrary categorization of test results, it potentially allows for an improved integration of test results into diagnostic clinical decision making.

They acknowledged that their own claims had not met the test either, but said that for their purposes, publishing improved test scores at schools they have taken over was enough.
Our findings highlight the substantial limitations of available diagnostic tests for infectious diseases and the need for improved tests and novel approaches to identify infectious disease agents.
Following previous studies20,21, a Michaelis Menten curve (lines) was fitted to test for an improved fit using a nonlinear relationship with an attenuation of first record rates at large import values.
