The activity aimed to provide knowledge about anthropometry and the measurements illustration for researchers in Pusat Riset Teknologi Pengujian dan Standar (PRTPS – BRIN). During workshop, participants were provided with basic of anthropometry, standardization measurement, measurement illustrations how apply such data design, particular school furniture design. In addition, also demonstrated u...

This paper considers the controversy of modern acoustic instruments, which may have come to an evolutionary impasse, due to its high standardization that makes it difficult to explore design modifications. A new approach for the design and fabrication of an acoustic instrument is presented, using digital fabrication technologies, and specifically 3D printing, which has the potential to influenc...

Ultra-sensitive laboratory assays based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are playing an increasingly important role in HIV cure-related research. This article reviews the different assays available and how they have evolved. There is a great need for their standardization and for the establishment of reference reagents and testing algorithms to evaluate potential HIV cure-related treatments.

AIMS Speckle tracking echocardiography has already demonstrated its clinical potential. However, its use in routine practice is jeopardized by recent reports on high inter-vendor variability of the measurements. As such, the European Association of CardioVascular Imaging (EACVI) and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) set up a standardization task force, which was joined by all manuf...

The study developed, validated, and standardised a statistical literacy test for university undergraduates in Cross River State, Nigeria. Five research questions were raised to guide this study. adopted an instrumentation design. A stratified sampling technique was used select total of 753 respondents from population 4705 students. Three instruments collect data: the Statistical Literacy Test (...

Expanding health care services for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria has increased the demand for affordable and reliable laboratory diagnostics in resource-limited countries. Many countries are responding by upgrading their public laboratories and introducing new technology to provide expanded testing services into more regions. This expansion carries the risk of increasing the diversity of an al...

Agreement between different models of spectrophotometers is increasingly being recognized as an issue in the industry. Brand owners are requesting color tolerances that are in some cases too tight to be met when using different make and model spectrophotometers along the supply chain. This often means that printers are being required to purchase a different model of spectrophotometer for each p...

Both the standard mercury sphygmomanometer and the random-zero sphygmomanometer have been used in epidemiological studies and clinical trials. Problems arise in comparing studies since, in addition to other methodological differences, the readings obtained with the random-zero sphygmomanometer have been found to be lower than those obtained with the standard mercury sphygmomanometer. In the pre...
