Summary: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) surgery has evolved over centuries in an attempt to achieve anatomical closure while optimizing speech and limiting fistulas and midface hypoplasia. Masters of cleft surgery and early pioneers inspired generations of surgical innovators to refine techniques and timing to improve surgical outcomes. Constant modification has resulted in significant diversity of cleft surgical protocols across institutions. Unlike many other surgical conditions, there is no gold-standard algorithm of care for CLP. Several international consortiums, including Eurocleft, Americleft, and Scandcleft, aimed to investigate the ideal cleft care protocol. Despite the inclusion of multiple institutions and attempts at long-term follow-up, these studies were limited by small sample sizes, lack of diversity in patient population, poor long-term follow-up, lack of standardized measurement tools, and inability to control for confounders such as severity. This article aimed to present the findings of these early pioneer consortiums in their pursuit for the optimal CLP surgical protocol and recommend a direction for future research with a global consortium of experts in cleft care.

Background: In the last decade, various consortia and companies have created standardized digestion protocols and gastrointestinal simulators, such as the protocol proposed by the INFOGEST Consortium, the simulator SHIME, the simulator simgi®, the TIM, etc. Most of them claim to simulate the entire human gastrointestinal tract. However, few results have been reported on the use of these systems with potential prebiotic carbohydrates. Methods: This critical review addresses the existing data on the analysis of prebiotic carbohydrates by different in vitro gastrointestinal simulators, the lack of parameters that could affect the results, and recommendations for their enhancement. Results: According to the reviewed data, there is a lack of a realistic approximation of the small intestinal conditions, mainly because of the absence of hydrolytic conditions, such as the presence of small intestinal brush border carbohydrases that can affect the digestibility of different carbohydrates, including prebiotics. Conclusion: There is a necessity to standardize and enhance the small intestine simulators to study the in vitro digestibility of carbohydrates.

Lithium is an indispensable tool of modern psychiatry. Although it is well-known that response to lithium is a familial trait, available research on pharmacogenetics regarding lithium treatment has, in the past, produced few reproducible results. The Consortium of Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) was initiated by Thomas G. Schulze and Francis J. McMahon in 2008 to overcome these limitations. To date, researchers from 39 countries have joined the consortium, making it a truly international effort. A hallmark of the consortium is the use of an 11-point lithium response rating scale defined by Martin Alda and colleagues. The pooling of genotype data from over 2,500 patients phenotyped with this standardized response scale, have led to initial successes, which form the basis for further research.

Assessing multiple domains of health in older adults requires multidimensional and large datasets. Consensus on definitions, measurement protocols and outcome measures is a prerequisite. The Physical Activity and Nutritional INfluences In Ageing (PANINI) Toolkit aims to provide a standardized toolkit of best-practice measures for assessing health domains of older adults with an emphasis on nutrition and physical activity. The toolkit was drafted by consensus of multidisciplinary and pan-European experts on ageing to standardize research initiatives in diverse populations within the PANINI consortium. Domains within the PANINI Toolkit include socio-demographics, general health, nutrition, physical activity and physical performance and psychological and cognitive health. Implementation across various countries, settings and ageing populations has proven the feasibility of its use in research. This multidimensional and standardized approach supports interoperability and re-use of data, which is needed to optimize the coordination of research efforts, increase generalizability of findings and ultimately address the challenges of ageing.

Abstract The AI Skin Cancer Consortium seeks to progress integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the skin cancer referral pathway to promote rapid diagnosis of skin cancer and reassurance with benign lesions. In contrast to other fields of medicine, such as radiology, dermatology has lacked standardization in data acquisition, which is required for high-quality, reproducible and interoperable AI algorithm performance. Beginning in 2021, the consortium has made substantial progress towards defining a national pathway, technology architecture and data flows. We describe a standardized approach to acquisition of macroscopic and dermoscopic images, and technical and clinical metadata in a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format, currently acquired in outpatient imaging centres and in general practice. In order to develop a transparent competitive environment for testing of this standardized National Health Service (NHS) pipeline, the consortium created a Small Business Research Initiative funded via a government agency. Three companies were awarded funding for this two-phase programme, from 15 applicants. These industry partners tested the pipeline within a trusted research environment (TRE), using real-world data. All industry partners were able to evaluate skin lesion images in combination with interoperable clinical metadata and run existing algorithms in the TRE. We report progress on this competition and also on the process of creating a national database, to permit competitive testing performance of different algorithms with specific clinical use cases. To assess the cost-effectiveness of introducing AI into the skin cancer pathway, we have also collaborated with the York Health Economics Consortium to produce a model to permit estimation of the impact of an AI triage tool to assist clinician triage. The recent vision statement from the British Association of Dermatologists encourages AI solutions intended to address a clinical unmet need and that integrates into patient pathways to enhance the service provided by healthcare professionals [https://www.bad.org.uk/clinical-services/artificial-intelligence/vision-statement-on-artificial-intelligence-ai-interventions/ (last accessed 19 March 2024)]. If the UK is to be at the forefront of skin AI, then it is imperative that the market is stimulated through use of meticulously standardized interoperable data standards with platforms that allow for transparent testing of multiple algorithms. We have successfully introduced a pipeline for safely generating standardized, high-quality images that are suitable for AI, identifying where we can achieve the greatest potential value for introducing AI into the NHS skin cancer referral pathway.

Aim. This study compares the usefulness of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to Standardized Mini-Mental Status Exam (SMMSE) for diagnosing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) population.Methods. This prospective pilot study enrolled 30 community dwelling adults with Type 2 DM aged 50 years and above. Subjects were assessed using both the SMMSE and MoCA for MCI. In all subjects, depression and dementia were ruled out using the DSM IV criteria, and a functional assessment was done. MCI was diagnosed using the standard test, the European consortium criteria. Sensitivity and specificity analysis, positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios and Kappa statistic were calculated.Results. In comparison to consortium criteria, the sensitivity and specificity of MoCA were 67% and 93% in identifying individuals with MCI, and SMMSE were 13% and 93%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values for MoCA were 84% and 56%, and for SMMSE were 66% and 51%, respectively. Kappa statistics showed moderate agreement between MoCA and consortium criteria (kappa = 0.4) and a low agreement between SMMSE and consortium criteria (kappa = 0.07).Conclusion. In this pilot study, MoCA appears to be a better screening tool than SMMSE for MCI in the diabetic population.

Although a consortium approach for clinical trials is a common research strategy which has made important contributions in other disciplines in medicine, to date it has not been employed for research efforts in the consultation/liaison setting. There are several reasons for this: the relative newness of the field, lack of administrative control over patient care, and the unavailability of a standard methodology that could be adapted to multiple sites. Four basic research strategies can be employed within the framework of a research consortium to advance scientific knowledge in consultation/liaison psychiatry: 1) prevalence studies of psychiatric morbidity in medical settings; 2) interrelationship among psychiatric and medical conditions; 3) the outcome of psychiatric interventions within medical milieu; and, 4) cost-benefit evaluation. A field-tested computerized database protocol and a software system useable on an office-based microcomputer were employed to obtain standardized data across multiple training sites. The advantages and disadvantages of consortium studies are described.

AbstractBackground: A definitive diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), as distinct from a clinically isolated syndrome, requires one of two conditions: a second clinical attack or particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings as defined by the McDonald criteria. MRI is also important after a diagnosis is made as a means of monitoring subclinical disease activity. While a standardized protocol for diagnostic and follow-up MRI has been developed by the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centres, acceptance and implementation in Canada have been suboptimal. Methods: To improve diagnosis, monitoring, and management of a clinically isolated syndrome and MS, a Canadian expert panel created consensus recommendations about the appropriate application of the 2010 McDonald criteria in routine practice, strategies to improve adherence to the standardized Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centres MRI protocol, and methods for ensuring effective communication among health care practitioners, in particular referring physicians, neurologists, and radiologists. Results: This article presents eight consensus statements developed by the expert panel, along with the rationale underlying the recommendations and commentaries on how to prioritize resource use within the Canadian healthcare system. Conclusions: The expert panel calls on neurologists and radiologists in Canada to incorporate the McDonald criteria, the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centres MRI protocol, and other guidance given in this consensus presentation into their practices. By improving communication and general awareness of best practices for MRI use in MS diagnosis and monitoring, we can improve patient care across Canada by providing timely diagnosis, informed management decisions, and better continuity of care.

Over the past 2 decades, chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention has developed into its own subspecialty of interventional cardiology. Dedicated terminology, techniques, devices, courses, and training programs have enabled progressive advancements. However, only a few randomized trials have been performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. Moreover, several published observational studies have shown conflicting data. Part of the paucity of clinical data stems from the fact that prior studies have been suboptimally designed and performed. The absence of standardized end points and the discrepancy in definitions also prevent consistency and uniform interpretability of reported results in CTO intervention. To standardize the field, we therefore assembled a broad consortium comprising academicians, practicing physicians, researchers, medical society representatives, and regulators (US Food and Drug Administration) to develop methods, end points, biomarkers, parameters, data, materials, processes, procedures, evaluations, tools, and techniques for CTO interventions. This article summarizes the effort and is organized into 3 sections: key elements and procedural definitions, end point definitions, and clinical trial design principles. The Chronic Total Occlusion Academic Research Consortium is a first step toward improved comparability and interpretability of study results, supplying an increasingly growing body of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention evidence.

Introduction: The development of the [US] National Disaster Life Support (NDLS) programs (Advanced, Basic, and Core Disaster Life Support) began prior to 11 September 2001, but in its aftermath, the NDLS programs have become a leading all-hazards disaster medicine training program in the US. The NDLS programs are taught through a training center model. The curriculum is revised via the National Disaster Life Support Education Consortium (NDLSEC), a multi-disciplinary, multi-specialty consortium. Methods: The National Disaster Life Support Foundation (NDLSF) is a not-for-profit organization developed by the academic medical centers and partners that developed the NDLS programs. The founding institutions are the Medical College of Georgia, die University of Georgia, the University of Texas Southwestern, the University of Texas-Houston, and the American Medical Association. The NDLSF has die responsibility to oversee, certify, and monitor a network of training centers. The NDLSEC consist of individual members and 75 representative stakeholder organizations. Results: The training center network overseen by the NDLSF consists of 70 training centers in the US and 10 developing international training centers. The NDLSEC has >150 members with representatives from virtually every medical discipline and specialty. More than 70,000 individuals have been trained. Conclusions: The NDLS programs have employed a training center network model to deploy standardized, all-hazards disaster educational programs. The NDLS programs have been successful in bridging die gap in disaster medicine education programs in the US and may represent a useful model for other countries to provide disaster medicine education.

Les structures immergées en milieu marin sont soumises au développement de biosalissures, une accumulation de micro- et macroorganismes qui est le plus souvent indésirable. Les conséquences de ces biosalissures peuvent être nombreuses (e.g. biodétérioration des matériaux). Lutter contre ce phénomène induit des coûts financiers élevés qui pèsent sur le secteur industriel, d’autant que les contraintes réglementaires et environnementales imposent aujourd’hui d’élaborer des solutions plus respectueuses de l’environnement. L’économie maritime est un secteur important en Normandie, et les travaux de cette thèse se sont focalisés sur 3 ports (Granville, Cherbourg et St Vaast-La-Hougue), le long des côtes de la Manche. Les objectifs étaient d’identifier les espèces constitutives des biosalissures et d’élaborer, en laboratoire, un consortium mixte de quelques espèces de micro- et macroorganismes isolés du milieu naturel, pour, à terme, proposer des tests d’adhésion en milieu contrôlé permettant d’évaluer l’efficacité antifouling de matériaux revêtus. Deux revêtements ont été retenus, un Epoxy (à propriétés anticorrosion) et un Fluoropolymère (à propriétés antifouling sans biocide). Les résultats ont montré des communautés en biosalissures globalement similaires entre les trois ports étudiés et pour chaque type de revêtement. Néanmoins, le développement des organismes est apparu moindre sur le Fluoropolymère et influencé par des conditions stationnelles et environnementales spécifiques à chaque port. Bien qu’un travail de standardisation des différents tests décrits en laboratoire soit encore nécessaire, les cultures individuelles des différents organismes composant les consortiums (bactéries, diatomées, macroalgues et invertébrés) ont été maitrisées, tout comme certaines co-cultures, ce qui est une première étape importante dans le développement à venir des tests de fixation sur matériaux revêtusSubmerged structures in the marine environment are subject to the development of biofouling, an accumulation of micro- and macro-organisms that is generally undesirable. The consequences of such biofouling are numerous. Combating this phenomenon entails high financial costs, which are weighing on the industrial sector, especially as regulatory and environmental constraints are now forcing to develop more environmentally-friendly solutions. The maritime economy is an important sector in Normandy, and the work in this thesis focused on 3 ports (Granville, Cherbourg and St Vaast-La-Hougue) along the coasts of the English Channel. The objectives were to identify the constituent species of biofouling and to develop in laboratory a mixed consortium of several species of micro- and macro-organisms isolated from the natural environment, with the ultimate aim of proposing adhesion tests in a controlled environment to assess the antifouling effectiveness of coated materials. Two coatings were selected: an Epoxy (with anti-corrosion properties) and a Fluoropolymer (antifouling without biocides). The results showed similar biofouling communities between the ports and for each coating. Nevertheless, the organism development appeared to be influenced by stationary conditions and environmental characteristics specific to the port. Although the various tests described still need to be standardized, the individual laboratory cultures of the different organisms making up the consortia (bacteria, diatoms, macroalgae and invertebrates) have been mastered, as have certain co-cultures, which is an important first step in the future development of attachment tests on coated materials

Creating standardized infrastructures for new technologies has become a frequent event in recent years, forcing competing firms to together collaborate in order to develop and mutually agree on a common standard. This is due to technologies such as blockchain (distributed ledger) technology that need interoperability to reach its full potential, making the collaboration aspect crucial for organizations that want to adapt to the technology. Therefore, this study’s purpose is to identify and analyze the challenges of creating such a standardized infrastructure. A case study was used to analyze these challenges, which involved experts of blockchain technology and three Nordic banks connected to the blockchain consortium R3. First, a pre-study took place with the help of blockchain experts, who helped identify potential problems regarding blockchain (distributed ledger) technology. Secondly, a main study was conducted consisting of four interviews with key persons representing the banks, in addition to collecting secondary data via news articles, and press releases. With the help of co-opetition theory and a technical description of blockchain (distributed ledger) technology, an analytical model was developed to support the analysis of the data collection. The analysis focus on aspects of co-opetition drivers, co-opetition capabilities, co-opetition dynamics and blockchain aspects, which were used to showcase the challenges of collaborating on creating a standardized infrastructure. The result of this study highlights the importance of learning and educational aspects, the size of a cooperation and threats from other competing solutions, which generates challenges. In addition to the identified challenges, this study has also contributed to an understanding of how these aspects can come to affect a collaboration.

AbstractInterest in the formal representation of citizen science comes from portals, platforms, and catalogues of citizen science projects; scientists using citizen science data for their research; and funding agencies and governments interested in the impact of citizen science initiatives. Having a common understanding and representation of citizen science projects, their participants, and their outcomes is key to enabling seamless knowledge and data sharing. In this chapter, we provide a conceptual model comprised of the core citizen science concepts with which projects and data can be described in a standardised manner, focusing on the description of the participants and their activities. The conceptual model is the outcome of a working group from the COST Action CA15212 Citizen Science to Promote Creativity, Scientific Literacy, and Innovation throughout Europe, established to improve data standardisation and interoperability in citizen science activities. It utilises past models and contributes to current standardisation efforts, such as the Public Participation in Scientific Research (PPSR) Common Conceptual Model and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. Its design is intended to fulfil the needs of different stakeholders, as illustrated by several case studies which demonstrate the model’s applicability.

Reuse of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for specific diseases such as COVID-19 requires data to be recorded and persisted according to international standards. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre (H12O) evolved its EHRs: it identified, modeled and standardized the concepts related to this new disease in an agile, flexible and staged way. Thus, data from more than 200,000 COVID-19 cases were extracted, transformed, and loaded into an i2b2 repository. This effort allowed H12O to share data with worldwide networks such as the TriNetX platform and the 4CE Consortium.

To confront the ever-growing volume and complexity of disasters, development should begin on a highly interoperable, loosely coupled, dynamic, geospatially-enabled information platform with comprehensive situational awareness. This chapter argues that geospatial Web services are a crucial building component for the emergency management community to develop this desired information platform because geospatial Web services, along with other non-spatial Web services, can provide interoperability. In addition to discussing how geospatial Web services, especially the ones standardized by the Open Geospatial Consortium, have been used in different phases of emergency management, the chapter contends that a holistic approach with geospatial Web services will create more value for emergency management. It concludes by pointing out some future work that is worth exploring in order to cope with the ever-changing nature of emergency management.

Data that has been collected in the course of clinical trials are potentially valuable for additional scientific research questions in so called secondary use scenarios. This is of particular importance in rare disease areas like paediatric oncology. If data from several research projects need to be connected, so called Core Datasets can be used to define which information needs to be extracted from every involved source system. In this work, the utility of the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Operational Data Model (ODM) as a format for Core Datasets was evaluated and a web tool was developed which received Source ODM XML files and – via Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) – generated standardized Core Dataset ODM XML files. Using this tool, data from different source systems were extracted and pooled for joined analysis in a proof-of-concept study, facilitating both, basic syntactic and semantic interoperability.

Introduction: NFDI4Health is a consortium funded by the German Research Foundation to make structured health data findable and accessible internationally according to the FAIR principles. Its goal is bringing data users and Data Holding Organizations (DHOs) together. It mainly considers DHOs conducting epidemiological and public health studies or clinical trials. Methods: Local data hubs (LDH) are provided for such DHOs to connect decentralized local research data management within their organizations with the option of publishing shareable metadata via centralized NFDI4Health services such as the German central Health Study Hub. The LDH platform is based on FAIRDOM SEEK and provides a complete and flexible, locally controlled data and information management platform for health research data. A tailored NFDI4Health metadata schema for studies and their corresponding resources has been developed which is fully supported by the LDH software, e.g. for metadata transfer to other NFDI4Health services. Results: The SEEK platform has been technically enhanced to support extended metadata structures tailored to the needs of the user communities in addition to the existing metadata structuring of SEEK.

The secondary use of healthcare data can play a crucial role in enhancing health care systems, patient care, and clinical research; however, it is challenged by privacy, governance and regulatory challenges. The aim of the Smart FOX project is to address these challenges to facilitate citizen-driven donation of ELGA (Austria Electronic Health Records) - standardized. The project consortium comprises stakeholders across several healthcare-related areas developing concepts and architectures for patient/citizen driven data-donation. This paper specifically introduces two distinct services for recruiting patients and citizens to enable secondary data use within the project. Service A, a researcher-focused service integrated in the hospital information system, within the Smart FOX project focuses on two primary use cases: enabling the study of new trial cohorts for data consumers (e.g., CROs), and contacting data donors (e.g., citizens) for trial recruitment. Service B, a web-based patient/citizen focused service, addresses three key use cases: identifying recruitment potential, facilitating contact with the recruitment pool, and presenting data donation opportunities via digital advertising and on its internet platform. By leveraging innovative digital platforms and federated data approaches, the Smart FOX project aims to overcome barriers in secondary data use, ultimately driving more efficient, inclusive, and secure clinical research that benefits both healthcare systems and patients/citizens.

Abstract ABSTRACT A standardized system has been established wherein microbes were recovered from specific sites (waters, sediments, slimes, tubercles) and at least six physiologically different groups of microbes were characterized and identified. These organisms were selected for properties known to be associated with microbial influenced corrosion (MIC), such as slime formation, acid production, sulfate reduction, iron chelation and precipitation, and hydrogen utilization. The organisms were characterized by their fatty acid composition. Coupons of the test material were embedded in epoxy, and utilized as working electrodes. The sterilizable test system was designed to contain multiple working electrodes, a titanium counter electrode, and a salt bridge designed to hold a standard calomel electrode. After sterilization, site water, or its surrogate enriched with dilute microbiological medium, was introduced into the system, and inoculated with a mixture of the isolated microbes. The polarization resistance (Rp) and open circuit potential (OCP) were compared to sterile controls, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (ECN). Throughout the test, test metals were recovered, and the microbial community composition and metabolic activity of the organisms on the metal surface were determined. Biomass was determined by direct count of stained microbes, and by the total ester-linked fatty acids. Community composition was determined by plating and counting colony forming units (CFU's). Isolates were identified by morphologic properties, and by analysis of the polar lipids using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Microbial biofilm metabolic activity was determined with labeled acetate incorporation into the lipids. Biofilm microbial morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). in this report, the test system was used to examine the effects of sublethal and lethal exposure to hypochlorite an bacteria, which induced tubercles on carbon steel samples.

Abstract In-service inspection is a critical element in confirming the integrity of permanent floating production unit mooring systems. Over the unit's operating life, which will typically span 20 years or more, these inspections provide the majority of the condition information on the mooring components and overall system. This information enables operators to proactively address mooring issues caused by degradation mechanisms or deviations in mooring line tensions that could reduce the system capacity and potentially result in premature failure. However, detailed guidance on inspection intervals, and in particular inspection scope, is limited for permanent mooring systems. To address this identified industry need, the DeepStar® technology consortium initiated Project 19403, "Improving Mooring Integrity through Standardized Inspection and Fit-For-Service Assessment" to develop best inspection practice guidance for permanent mooring systems [1]. This paper describes the content and benefits of this new mooring inspection guidance document developed as part of the DeepStar® 19403 project [1] with the support of subject matter experts from major operator companies, Class societies and mooring consultancies. The paper will describe how this new guidance compliments and expands current industry Recommended Practice (RP) guidance. Key aspects related to in-service survey intervals, component inspection work scopes and inspection methods will be discussed as well as the execution planning of in-service mooring inspections. To facilitate inspection work, the predominate deterioration mechanisms are introduced which are corrosion, wear and fatigue. Other types of deteriorations are also summarized. Default in-service survey intervals (frequencies) and component inspections are recommended. In-service inspection methods are reviewed, from General Visual Inspection (GVI) and Close Visual Inspection (CVI) to advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Guidance on assessing the residual capacity of a damaged or flawed mooring component, known as fitness-for-service, is also covered within the new mooring inspection guidance.

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The Automated Mobility Partnership (AMP) is a consortium of industry and academic stakeholders dedicated to advancing Automated Driving Systems (ADS) through a comprehensive suite of tools, datasets, and methodologies. The AMP portal integrates events from over 35 million miles of naturalistic driving data including thousands of annotated crashes and near-crashes and a decade of U.S. police-reported crash data curated by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. The portal enables data discovery, visualization, processing, and analysis through secured web access. This paper briefly describes the AMP portal and examines its utility in developing and evaluating the safety of ADS using standardized processes. For the examination, we provide examples based on generic automated driving functions, guided by the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) framework. The results show that AMP is instrumental in identifying recorded real-world cases in which the hazardous behavior of a system can lead to harm, through the AMP case browser and advanced filtering capabilities. The portal uses the naturalistic driving data to generate essential exposure, controllability, and severity metrics for defining risk-based acceptance criteria and evaluating a system against these criteria. By combining vehicle sensor data with environment and driver face video recordings, AMP can also provide evidence to develop driver glance-based criteria for monitoring systems linked to the automated driving functions. Further, the work elaborates on the potential for AMP data-driven scenario generation to support verification and validation activities, as well as on the potential of the data to provide human reference to support post-release monitoring activities.</div></div>

ISO Technical Committee 34 “Food Products”/Subcommittee 16 “Horizontal methods for molecular biomarker analysis” works to ensure that standardized biomolecular testing and laboratory criteria are reproducible and technically sound reducing potentialdisputes between exporting and importing nations and increasing predictability in world trade. Harmonized, easy to handle methods of analysis with defined patterns and known nomenclatures bring more customers to the market. TC 34/SC 16 has increased international stakeholders’ participation in standardizing biomarker testing, improved the quality and relevance of these standards and continues to increase transparency in international markets, particularly for food authenticity, varietal identification and genetically engineered (GMO) products. ISO standards have been adopted by Codex Alimentarius and many governments throughout the world. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO.org) was formed in 1946. It is an independent, nongovernmental voluntary consensus standard body based in Geneva, Switzerland with a membership of 165 national standards bodies. The US ISO member is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI.org) a consortium of US standardization organizations. ISO TC 34/SC 16 was created in 2008. There are 45 participating countries. Contributing organizations in liaison with TC 34/SC 16 include AOAC International, Cereals and Grains Association, the European Commission, the International Seed Testing Association, the US Pharmacopeia, the European Plant Protection Organization and the International Plant Protection Convention. The scope of TC 34/SC 16 is, "Standardization of biomolecular testing methods applied to foods, feeds, seeds and other propagules of food and feed crops." The US delegation responsible for developing the US position for standards development in food authenticity and allergen detection is called the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG). It was delegated to the American Oil Chemist’s Society (AOCS.org) by ANSI. AOCS also hosts the TC 34/SC 16 international secretariat.

INCEFA-PLUS is a five year project supported by the European Commission HORIZON2020 program. The project commenced in mid-2015. 16 organizations from across Europe have combined forces to deliver new experimental data which will support the development of improved guidelines for assessment of environmental fatigue damage to ensure safe operation of nuclear power plants. Within INCEFA-PLUS, the effects of mean strain, hold time, strain amplitude and surface finish on fatigue endurance of austenitic stainless steels in light water reactor environments are being studied experimentally, these being issues of common interest to all participants. The data obtained are being collected and standardized in an online environmental fatigue database, implemented with the assistance of a CEN workshop led by members of the INCEFA-PLUS project. Later in the project it is planned that INCEFA-PLUS will develop and disseminate methods for including the new data into assessment approaches for environmental fatigue degradation. This paper provides an update to the project introduction presented at PVP2016 (PVP2016-63149). In particular the paper presents the finalized matrix of test conditions for Phase 1 testing planned for 2017, including the agreed positions on testing for the effects of mean stress/strain and hold time. The materials being tested are summarized, together with available material characterization data. The specimen surface finishes used in the phase 1 testing are described, including measures taken to ensure uniformity of surface conditions throughout the consortium and characterization results for the two chosen surface finishes for each specimen geometry and material. The emerging plans for Phase 2 testing is also described, with a focus on steps being taken to enable more plant-relevant testing for the effects of mean stress and exploration of sensitivities to hold times within plant transients. The latest view on how the project results will be used to advance development of improved assessment guidelines is also discussed. An update is provided on the discussions at the CEN workshop on Standards-Compliant Formats for Fatigue Test Data (FATEDA) including progress towards agreeing test data formats and trials of XML data transfers from laboratory to database. Finally, a summary is provided of project dissemination activities.

The application of distributed control systems to turbine engine controls offers the potential for major reductions in development time and costs for the engine control and the engine. Once the data bus and power bus are standardized for elements of a distributed control system, the industry will have a group of sensors, actuators, and controllers that could be interchangeable between applications. Software and hardware will still require modification to fit the specific application, however, great strides will have been made toward a “plug and play” capability between sensors, actuators, and controllers all tied together on the same data bus. The main controller in a distributed control system, except for software, would be interchangeable from engine to engine. This paper describes the design and development of the electronics for a smart actuator and discusses the design considerations which were used to guide the requirements. Requirements unique to turbine engine applications include temperature environments to 30° C, a severe vibration environment, minimum size and weight, and very high reliability. The electronics developed for the smart actuator were packaged on credit card sized printed wiring board modules. Two of these modules were packaged in a housing approximately 23×3.4×1.1 inches. The electronics operate from 28 volt DC power and communicate with the rest of the control system via the MEL-STD-1553B data bus. Although a hydraulic actuator was chosen as the demonstration vehicle, the electronic module is adaptable to any servo application and can be expanded to read any of the common engine sensors and operate solenoids. The chosen actuator was intended as a development tool to expose the design problems of distributed systems. Therefore, this first demonstration unit was designed using electronic components rated for 125° C operation. AlliedSignal is currently a member of a consortium of companies under DARPA sponsorship developing a family of SOI (silicon-on-insulator) integrated circuits rated for 200° C operation. Our current 125° C design is compatible with the new devices being developed. A 200° C unit is planned for 1998. Further improvements in the metalization used in the SOI devices will allow reliable long term operation to about 300° C. Devices for this higher temperature range are expected to be available in 1999.

ABSTRACT The paper explores the impact of surface defects on the fatigue resistance of coiled tubing (CT) strings used in unconventional shale extended reach wells. It focuses on how localized mechanical damage affects CT string life, the effectiveness of repair techniques, and how fatigue modeling and testing data can be applied to mitigate premature failures. The scope includes empirical testing of high-strength conventional and quenched-and-tempered (Q&T) tubing and data from new and used tubing with flaws identified by non-destructive Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing inspections. The study employs a combination of laboratory fatigue testing, field data collection, and advanced fatigue modeling algorithms developed by Tulsa University’s Coiled Tubing Research Consortium. These models assess the effect of localized mechanical damage on CT string fatigue life, for conventional and Q&T tubing grades. The study also evaluates the efficacy of industry-standard grinding/sanding repair techniques by integrating real-world failure statistics and empirical lab data. This process highlights repair derating factors and the integration into fatigue modeling software, supported by laboratory tests on tubing with known surface defects. Analysis of failure data over the past five years revealed that approximately 40% of CT failures are attributable to mechanical surface damage, particularly in large-diameter heavy CT strings used for extended-reach operations. The study found that localized damage, when detected early, can be repaired effectively without compromising overall string integrity. Laboratory testing of tubing with localized repairs demonstrated that standardized repairs significantly improve residual life by eliminating severe stress risers. Fatigue testing on Q&T tubing grades of up to 130ksi yield strength confirmed that repaired strings performed comparably to undamaged sections in laboratory conditions. The importance of proper repair technique is demonstrated and emphasized. This paper also presents updated App-based fatigue algorithms that include localized derating factors, allowing operators to better predict string life and make more informed decisions about string replacement versus repair. Field results from used tubing inspections show that timely identification and repair of localized damage can extend CT string life and reduce operational costs significantly.

Computational drug repurposing integrates data from diverse sources, such as sequence databases, GWAS studies, or high-throughput screens. Depending on the original use case or field of research, they vary in availability, timeliness, and compatibility with other data sources. Further, numerous computational tools have been introduced designed to identify active disease modules, indications, or drug-target interactions that use different methods and strategies while not adhering to standard guidelines. Clearing and harmonising the resulting inconsistencies consume essential resources such that compiling a well-structured work plan is fundamental. This whitepaper demonstrates the results of a systematic review effort of about 400 publications and proposes valuable resources and specific strategies for the REPO4EU consortium. We present reviews, databases and computational methods by their applicability to work package-specific tasks and suggest using popular data standards such as FASTQ, SAM and VCF for sequencing data. In detail, we argue how NeDRexDB should serve as an instance of a knowledge base in this project, outline how to create a reproducible yet flexible pipeline for module discovery, and lay out the application of the BioPAX standard for disease module representation. Future challenges include establishing guidelines for computational drug repurposing, flexible and standardised workflows, and comprehensive in silico validation. We are confident that this work will provide a solid basis for tackling them.
