eJIFCC Special Issue on Laboratory Reference Intervals

Recent decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of new diagnostic methods and the introduction of many emerging new biomarkers in clinical diagnostic laboratories. The utility of biomarkers as screening and diagnostic tools is limited by many factors, such as sensitivity, specificity and predictive values. Another critical factor, not always carefully considered, is the availa...

Special Issue on Next Generation Wireless Technologies

The next generation wireless networks are expected to converge into a ubiquitous architecture, which includes high-speed cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), mobile ad hoc networks, peer-to-peer networks, wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), etc. The increasing demand of wireless multimedia services has motivated the development of broad wireless access in the hetero...

Special Issue: Next Generation DNA Sequencing

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) refers to technologies that do not rely on traditional dideoxy-nucleotide (Sanger) sequencing where labeled DNA fragments are physically resolved by electrophoresis. These new technologies rely on different strategies, but essentially all of them make use of real-time data collection of a base level incorporation event across a massive number of reactions (on th...
