Nick Didkovsky, a guitarist and composer, and Charles O'Meara, the guitarist in the eclectic rock trio Forever Einstein, were in the habit of scanning eBay for used instruments, and e-mailing each other links to the ones they considered interesting.
At CFS, I was trained by senior scientists and qualified technologists in 1) theory and operation of analytical instruments and techniques (e.g., liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, ELISA); 2) their application to forensic toxicology; 3) interpretation of results; and 4) advantages and limitations of these methods.
In particular, further developments are needed in mass spectrometry instruments and technologies (e.g., top-down MS) in order to sequence deeper proteomes and/or metabolomes, and to allow for high throughput multiplexed analysis.
Five tin oxide-based Taguchi Gas Sensors were applied in the e-Nose instrument and the e-Tongue was designed using six potentiometric sensors.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) results were recorded by Nanoscope IIIa (Digital Instrument, USA) and E-Sweep (Seiko, Japan) in tapping mode.
Finally, besides these issues with control group capacity and method co-occurrence, there is the need to control for contextual factors: sample characteristics (e.g., age, socio-economic status), study design choices (e.g., follow-up period, measurement instruments) and study quality indicators (e.g., blinding of study personnel and participants).
The rest of the categories suggest that music is often tagged in terms of association, whether it be to known auditory objects (e.g. instruments and band names), specific circumstances (e.g. geographical locations and time of the day or season) or idiosyncratic things that only make sense at a personal level.
CHK provided the instruments for SEM and e-beam lithography.
We employed a qualitative approach for initial training and instrument design (e.g., focus groups and expert interviews), followed by pre- and post-training questionnaires to assess the efficacy of the training and initial validity of the screening tool.
It is said that the Indian epics and, especially, the Panji tales of Java came to Malaysia via Indonesia, but there are songs in certain plays and musical instruments (e.g., the double-headed drum and oboe) that could have reached Malaysia from India through other routes.
This was mainly due to unfamiliarity with reliable e-health instruments and websites, and to uncertainties about the appropriateness of e-health interventions for depressed patients and about how to ensure a working relationship with a care provider during an e-health intervention.
