At the same time, these observations pose major challenges for assay harmonization as it is clear that two-thirds of the labs involved had difficulty in accurately and reproducibly measuring specific T cell frequencies.
From 1979 to 1988, four principal Council Directives were passed addressing the major issues pertaining to the harmonization of the listing process, though they fell short of succeeding.
We recommend a harmonization of the major forest definitions in use today, while taking care not to lose the relevant ecological information that can be extracted from its most detailed classification level.
Finally, personal privacy and intellectual property protection have emerged as major motivations for greater global "harmonization" of regulation.
Among the major requirements related to the harmonization process are the development of a detailed probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), a regional seismicity study, geotechnical studies, and a comparison of the obtained design coefficients with those previously defined in the NSR-10 statute.
The most common perceived benefits (moderate to major) of participating in international harmonization efforts for updating were the use of existing resources more efficiently (79/101; 78%) and access to new information, ideas, materials or other resources (79/101; 78%).
The discussions in the two previous chapters document the major need for rationalization and harmonization of methods of food analysis and energy conversion factors.
Several committees will be created to perform the consortium research and administration, including a Steering Committee (in charge of major decisions); Planning/Executive Committee (routine operations); Phenotype Harmonization; Imaging Committee; Genotyping and Genomics Core; and Analysis Core.
Developing strategies to bridge human needs and ecosystem health for harmonization of ecosystem is a major concern for ecologist and agriculturist.
Major effort was put into the interlaboratory harmonization and conversion factors (CF) calculation and their validation at international scale (IS) 12, 13.
