after four years of publishing the iranian national laboratory standard and following a strategic plan to implement its requirements, it was decided to review the taken actions, evaluating the achievements and the failures, as well as analyzing the gaps and planning the interventional activities to resolve the problems. a thorough evaluation revealed that the progress of implementation process ...

Three interlaboratory round-robin studies (RR1, RR2, and RR3) were conducted to identify a serum-based reference material that would aid in the standardization of direct ion-selective electrode (ISE) measurements of sodium and potassium. Ultrafiltered frozen serum reference materials requiring no reconstitution reduced between-laboratory variability (the largest source of imprecision) more than...

The dried fruit of Terminalia chebula is widely used for its laxative properties. The objective of the present study was to examine the flowability and compressibility of Terminalia chebula fruit powder, subsequently developing its tablet formulations by utilizing wet granulation and direct compression technology. Initial studies on flowability and compressibility revealed that the fruit powder...

BACKGROUND Angulated implants may result in inaccurate impressions, and the impression technique may affect the accuracy of the definitive cast. This study was designed to compare the dimensional accuracy of casts obtained from three impression techniques for three definitive lower casts with implants at different angulations. METHODS Three Osseolink implants were placed in three reference mo...

Code synchronization is indispensable in the direct spread spectrum system because it can influence the incepting capacity directly. Transmitted reference is proposed in this paper to predigest the code synchronization circuit of the incepting machine in order to reduce the cost of time, energy and money for the development of the code synchronization technology. The software named Systemview i...
