Sample evaporation and its impact on the operating performance of an automated selective-access analytical system.
نویسنده
چکیده
In a series of gravimetric and analytical experiments I measured how much analytical error is ascribable to sample evaporation during routine operation of the Dimension analytical system. This error, a time-dependent function, is related to the volume of liquid placed in either a 0.5- or 2.0-mL cup and whether the cup is capped. For the 0.5-mL cups, analytical error at a 4-h residence time ranged from 12% to 16% (uncovered) to 8% to 13% (covered), whereas errors for the 2.0-mL cup ranged from 6% to 10% (uncovered) to 2% to 5% (covered). To minimize evaporative loss, I recommend (a) protecting the surface areas of the samples, (b) using larger samples, and (c) minimizing the time that a sample is in its cup before and during analysis.

An automatic test case generator for evaluating implementation of access control policies
One of the main requirements for providing software security is the enforcement of access control policies which aim to protect resources of the system against unauthorized accesses. Any error in the implementation of such policies may lead to undesirable outcomes. For testing the implementation of access control policies, it is preferred to use automated methods which are faster and more relia...
