Standard reporting requirements for biological samples in metabolomics experiments: environmental context

On the utility of pooling biological samples in microarray experiments.

Over 15% of the data sets catalogued in the Gene Expression Omnibus Database involve RNA samples that have been pooled before hybridization. Pooling affects data quality and inference, but the exact effects are not yet known because pooling has not been systematically studied in the context of microarray experiments. Here we report on the results of an experiment designed to evaluate the utilit...

Minimal reporting standard for reporting hearing outcomes.

Improving global environmental management with standard corporate reporting.

Multinational corporations play a prominent role in shaping the environmental trajectory of the planet. The integration of environmental costs and benefits into corporate decision-making has enormous, but as yet unfulfilled, potential to promote sustainable development. To help steer business decisions toward better environmental outcomes, corporate reporting frameworks need to develop scientif...

Spectrophotometric Determination of Selenium in Environmental, Biological and Pharmaceutical Samples

The Determination of Iodine Species in Environmental and Biological Samples

Iodine is found in organic forms in plants and animals and in inorganic forms in natural water samples. Methods of identification and quantitative determination for iodine species are decided by the types of compound and the matrices in which they occur. Iodine is an essential element and specific radioimmunoassay methods have been devised for physiologically important compounds (thyroxine and ...
