The terrestrial ecosystem monitoring sites: a utility assessment

Ecological research sites generate data which are potentially useful at the national, regional and global scales. However, most of the data remain embedded in local, project-specific research programmes. The primary role of the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) is to act as a data broker and bring researchers and modellers together in order to better understand global change processes in ...

Assessing FDA's risk methodology at pharmaceutical manufacturing sites

This research analyses the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) risk methodology used for inspecting pharmaceutical manufacturing sites. It reviews the procedures, regulations, and violations specified in FDA warning letters (WLs). In particular it focuses on the time period between 2004-2009, as the FDA transitioned and formalised this new approach to site inspections. One of the principal ...

Geostatistical modelling of ground conditions to support the assessment of site contamination

The pattern of ground contamination across a site depends on the historical pattern of contaminant releases at the surface and the redistribution and the fate of contaminants below the surface. Using these concepts a new site assessment approach (assessment modelling) is proposed based on the development of three stochastic models: a model of the physical structure of the ground materials beneath ...
