He was in charge of monitoring step 2 of the trial for signs of 1) safety, 2) effectiveness, and 3) futility.
They also received portion control tableware (Portion Doctor; Portion Health Products, St .Augustine Beach, Fla); iPods with prerecorded selections to set walking pace (Apple, Cupertino, Calif); and shoe chips (Nike Inc, Beaverton, Ore) to monitor steps taken, minutes of physical activity, and kilocalories burned.
When received at the POC laboratory, specimens were systematically spiked with an internal control that monitored all steps of the technical process from nucleic acid extraction to rtRT-PCR.
The criteria to be addresses regarding ICs were: (i) to monitor all steps of the diagnostic procedure (extraction, RT, PCR); (ii) to be amenable for DNA and RNA viruses ; (iii) to rely on a detection system specific of the phage(s) to avoid complex molecular constructs; (iv) to be usable in either simplex or multiplex format, and in one-step or two-step RT-PCR reactions.
In order to cross-validate the accuracy of the data, it is essential to monitor the steps of which these data are generated.
Through an app on his phone, his boss was literally monitoring every step of Zubko's recovery.
Detailed characterization was performed by monitoring every step of the immobilization protocol by contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy.
However much we manage to improve the monitoring step, the success of the undertaking still depends on how well the causes of the problems are identified and remedied.
Monitoring stoichiometric steps of the catalytic cycle using XANES indicated that the majority of Au-species are Au III), based on the absorption edge position which is oxidation state sensitive, and a stoichiometry different from 1 : 1 between AuCl3 and the substrate.
It's adaptive management, and we monitor every step of the way".
