The find is an apparent validation of what scientists call the transit timing variation method of finding extrasolar planets.
What will validation validate?
"I was very happy to get some validation by the best scientists of Europe," Moreno says.
The literature on verification and validation from engineers and scientists is enormous and it is beginning to receive some attention from philosophers.
The BoNT EWG comprises experts from European regulatory authorities, 3R-related and validation institutions, manufacturers, and scientists.
Moreover, the development of new forensic tools, for example new sampling appliances, by commercial companies requires ongoing validation and assessment by forensic scientists.
Recently, new initiatives are being developed to aid the scientists with their validation efforts; F1000Research is launching a permanent article collection to provide a platform for scientists to publish their antibody validation studies.
These studies which induced low-level systemic inflammation that permitted validation of sample processing protocols enabled scientists to compare baseline and inflammatory genomic changes at varying time points.
"There is no scientific evidence, no validation studies, or anything else that scientists usually demand, for that proposition that, say, two hairs that look alike came from the same person," Saks said.
Evidence of validation is important as it allows scientists to choose antibodies that are fit for their experiments and avoid wasting time optimising antibodies that are unsuitable.
