Photovoltaic Qualification and Approval Tests

Genetic tests and genomic biomarkers: regulation, qualification and validation.

The identification of new risk factors for specific diseases is an enduring theme in medical research. Advances in molecular biology, genetics, and computational biology are accelerating the pace of this work. The research seeks to increase our understanding of the causes of diseases, but there is also hope that the recognition of new risk factors will lead to improved methods for identifying p...

Qualification Tests and Facilities for the ITER Superconductors

All the ITER superconductors are tested as short length samples in the SULTAN test facility at CRPP. Eighteen TF conductor samples with small layout variations were tested since February 2007 with the aim of verification of the design and qualification of the manufacturers. The sample assembly and the measurement techniques at CRPP are discussed. Starting in 2010, another test facility for ITER...

Status of Niowave/roark Ilc Vendor Qualification Tests at Cornell*

To build the ~14,000 cavities required for the ILC each of the three world regions must have a sizable industrial base of qualified companies to draw cavities from. Two of these companies, Niowave Inc. and C.F. Roark Welding & Engineering Co., Inc, recently manufactured six 1.3 GHz single-cell cavities for qualification purposes. All six cavities achieved gradients above 25 MV/m before they wer...

Eelv Secondary Payload Adapter (espa) Static Qualification Tests

The United States Air Force Research Lab is currently examining options to launch small satellites (<200 kg e.g., 440 lb) more economically and efficiently. This class of satellite is quickly becoming a government and industry mainstay due to their ability to inexpensively demonstrate new technology, test prototype operational hardware, as well as perform space experimentation. Most of existing...
