Establishing the Three Rs Principle: A Plea for an International Severity Standard
نویسنده
چکیده
Severity (harm, invasiveness) scales focus the attention of both regulators and researchers on highly invasive experiments and thus help to promote the 3Rs, especially the refinement. A severity scale is critical to the quality of ethical review processes (ERPs) in limiting arbitrariness and situational opportunism of assessments, defining the acceptability ranges for some animal uses, especially in education, and differentiating justification requirements. An international severity scale would improve ERPs in some countries and put pressure on others to institute them. An international severity scale would also facilitate the promulgation of other international requirements and restrictions that are applicable only within appropriate severity grades and that otherwise would be impractical, questionable or vague. I therefore advocate finding an appropriate international organisation to negotiate and propose an international severity standard and to launch an international campaign to promote its acceptance.

متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...

متن کاملThe Principle of Relativity: From Ungar’s Gyrolanguage for Physics to Weaving Computation in Mathematics
This paper extends the scope of algebraic computation based on a non standard $times$ to the more basic case of a non standard $+$, where standard means associative and commutative. Two physically meaningful examples of a non standard $+$ are provided by the observation of motion in Special Relativity, from either outside (3D) or inside (2D or more), We revisit the ``gyro''-theory ...
