Innovation—drugs and diagnostics

Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics

Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...

Self-Starting Control Chart and Post Signal Diagnostics for Monitoring Project Earned Value Management Indices

Earned value management (EVM) is a well-known approach in a project control system which uses some indices to track schedule and cost performance of a project. In this paper, a new statistical framework based on self-starting monitoring and change point estimation is proposed to monitor correlated EVM indices which are usually auto-correlated over time and non-normally distributed. Also, a new ...

Prevalence, Mechanisms and Diagnostics

Innovation - drugs and diagnostics.

The control of antibiotic resistance presents a complex and multifaceted challenge. Professional societies, governments and international agencies, including the WHO, have identified a strategy that emphasizes the importance of microbiological surveillance, monitoring antibiotic use, prudent prescribing, education of healthcare professionals and the public and encouraging the development of new...

Test and Diagnostics

Multiple techniques and tools, including static analysis and testing, should be used for software assurance. Fuzz testing is one such technique that can be effective for finding security vulnerabilities. In contrast with traditional testing, fuzz testing only monitors the program for crashes or other undesirable behavior. This makes it feasible to run a very large number of test cases. This art...
