I've seen a research article that tested a polymer sandwich structure in 3-point bending according to ASTM C393. Their testing parameters included a 100 mm span length, a 2.0 mm/min loading rate, and specimen dimensions of 150 mm length, 18 mm thickness, and 32 mm width. Can I use these same dimensions for my own samples?. Or is there any rule to find the specimen dimensions?
Relevant answer
Answer
The dimensions of the specimen indicated are ok. Please see the peak load for failure/flexure takes place within the capacity of the UTM.

Dear colleagues,
When selecting dental materials for clinical use, common criteria such as the presence of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and certifications like CE (European Conformity) and FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) are often considered essential. However, I believe there might be additional factors worth discussing to ensure safety, quality, and optimal clinical performance.
In your opinion, what other criteria should be considered when choosing dental materials for patients? Have you encountered materials that, despite having necessary certifications, did not perform well in clinical settings?
Some additional factors I propose include:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring no allergic or inflammatory reactions in oral tissues.
Clinical performance and durability: Resistance to wear, discoloration, and thermal expansion in the oral environment.
Absence of harmful substances: For instance, materials free from Bisphenol A (BPA).
Compatibility: With other materials or systems used in dentistry.
Scientific evidence: Backed by peer-reviewed studies and long-term clinical trials.
I am keen to hear your experiences, insights, and any relevant literature or research findings you could share.
Relevant answer
Answer
In the clinical setting all these factors are closely related. Visual requirements and technical possibilities have to be balanced in each clinical situation. Finally, the material fulfilling most of the factors is selected as the material of choice. Thus, the material selection can be compared with a field of tension in which the change of one parameter may affect all other parameters. Currently, no universally applicable material is available.

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the appropriate standard to use when validating or critically reviewing a carbon footprint conducted according to ISO 14067. If we need to ensure compliance, which standard should apply?
  • ISO 14071 (critical review for LCAs)?
  • ISO 14064-3 (verification of GHG statements)?
Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Fernando
Relevant answer
Answer
ISO 14067:2018 provides guidelines for quantifying and communicating the carbon footprint of products (CFP). It requires using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) principles, ensuring data quality and transparency, and verifying results through third-party validation. The standard also offers guidelines for reporting and labeling carbon footprints, ensuring credibility and consistency

Greetings.
In the context of the new ISO 14068 on Carbon Neutrality, how is double-counting of emissions between two subjects been dealt with?
Suppose Company B is assessing the carbon neutrality of its Organization. Company B acquires raw material from Company A, which provides transportation with property-owned vehicles. Company A reports transport emissions as direct emissions in its Scope 1 inventory (either ISO 14064-1 or GHG Protocol). Company B reports the same emissions in its Scope 3 inventory (indirect emissions - transport). Now, within the context of ISO 14064-1 this is not an issue, but I am wondering if this could be an issue related to double-counting when both companies are undergoing the assessment of Carbon Neutrality within the ISO 14068 scheme.
Thank you
Relevant answer
Answer
I am not getting why would that be an issue, but maybe I misunderstand. You are certifying both companies individually with the purpose of evaluating their carbon neutrality efforts, and you give credit to good choices. For company A, you give credit for their choice of decarbonizing their fleet, for company B, you give credit for their choice of supplier. Company B still could have decided not to commission company A, ordering from company C, who did not decarbonize their fleet. Double counting only becomes an risk, if your system boundary includes both companies, .e.g, if you do accounting for the city they are both inside.

I want to characterize the mechanical properties of individual basalt fibers. I am having problems when choosing a test speed. If a follow ASTM C1557, I should choose a speed where the fiber fractures in less than 30 seconds. But if I follow ISO 5079:2020, my speed should be 50% gauge length per minute for specimens with a mean elongation at break lower than 8% (as is the case for basalt fibers). In this case, for a gauge length of 20mm, I would use 10 mm/min speed, which will break the fiber in less than 3 seconds.
Could you advice me in which speed to choose, please? Thanks in advance!
Relevant answer
Answer
Rate of loading influences the peak load. Your effort is to understand the material behaviour under tensile stress. Please study the stress/strain graph of the basalt fibre. Select the test speed yielding higher values by conducting tests at various speeds. Standards are for reference. Tests parameters are material specific.

Answer
Hai Dr, how are you? I am attracted to your question as I have some information on it. Below, I supply you with all the answers you need, but I would really appreciate it if you could press the RECOMMENDATION buttons underneath my 3 research papers' titles in my AUTHOR section as a way of you saying thanks and appreciation for my time and knowledge sharing. Please do not be mistaken, there are few RECOMMENDATION buttons in RESEARCHGATE. One is RECOMMENDATION button for Questions and Answers and the other RECOMMENDATIONS button for papers by the Authors. I would appreciate if you could click the RECOMMENDATION button for my 3 papers under my AUTHORSHIP. Thank you in advance and in return I provide you with the answers to your question below :
Q1: GSCM, circular economy and I5.0 can be both operational and managerial practices in an industry.
  • GSCM stands for Green Supply Chain Management. It is a holistic approach to managing the environmental impact of a supply chain. GSCM practices can be operational, such as using recycled materials or reducing packaging, or they can be managerial, such as setting sustainability goals for the supply chain.
  • Circular economy is an economic system that aims to eliminate waste and pollution by designing out waste and pollution from the outset. Circular economy practices can be operational, such as using product-as-a-service models or repairing products instead of replacing them, or they can be managerial, such as setting circular economy goals for the business.
  • I5.0 stands for Industry 5.0. It is the next generation of industrial automation that is focused on human-machine collaboration and sustainability. I5.0 practices can be operational, such as using robots to automate tasks that are dangerous or repetitive for humans, or they can be managerial, such as setting I5.0 goals for the business.
Ultimately, whether GSCM, circular economy and I5.0 practices are operational or managerial will depend on the specific needs of the business and the supply chain.
Q2: ISO and OSHA guidelines do fall under environmental conservation act/rules.
  • ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. ISO is an international non-governmental organization that develops standards for products, services, and systems. ISO 14000 is a series of standards that provide guidance on environmental management.
  • OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA is a federal agency that sets and enforces standards for workplace safety and health. OSHA regulations often have environmental implications, such as the requirement to use safe chemicals and to dispose of waste properly.
ISO and OSHA guidelines are important tools for environmental conservation. They help businesses to reduce their environmental impact and to comply with environmental regulations.

The question of transliteration (transcription) from Ukrainian Cyrillic to Latin in scientific texts is something that each Ukrainian researcher faced in his life. However, I could not find a perfect solution, so I am asking for your opinion.
Previously, for the transliterations of Ukrainian texts, I used transliteration rules from 27.01.2010 (http://ukrlit.org/transliteratsiia), which are known in Ukraine but not always understandable for foreigners. E.g. my previous surname was also transliterated using this standard (Дарія Ширяєва -> Dariia Shyriaieva, and to be honest, I do not know any foreigner who can read my name correctly using this official transliteration, especially the four vowels in the line "iaie"...)
So, it was not an ideal option, but I was used to it, and it is an accepted transliteration. That's why I defended this transliteration in my discussions with others.
However, I see that many people follow the ISO 9 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9) as an international standard, which also seems not ideal to me (at least the last version). Also, recently I found the mention of a new transliteration standard (quite a strange one!): "DSTU 9112:2021. Cyrillic-Latin transliteration and Latin-Cyrillic retransliteration of Ukrainian texts. Writing rules" (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%A1%D0%A2%D0%A3_9112:2021).
Could you please explain how you transliterate Ukrainian texts, which standard you use and why?
Thank you very much!

Dear colleagues! I ask you for help! I deal with determination of hydroxyl value of organic mixture, which also compries up to 25 % mass. of water. I don't understand, how it can affect results of titration?
I do that in that way: boil both weighted sample and blank with 25 ml of phtalic anhydride solution in pyridine, than titrate them with standardized KOH water solution.
In any ASTM or ISO standards it says there must be not much water in phtalation agent (to prevent hydrolysis of phtalic anhydride to less reactive acid, as I see that). But there are nowhere notes about acceptable water content of sample. Does water have its own HV? Should I remove water from sample by vaccuum distillation before HV determination?
I appreciate you for any answer!

Answer
Hello all,
I also assume that phthalic anhydride has the necessary strength for the esterification of the OH groups. The official DGF method uses acetic anhydride, so I personally would be interested if there is a special reason for using phthalic anhydride. It may be that it offers certain advantages with respect to certain classes of substances.

Hi, I want to do tensile analysis for my vulcanized rubber sample following the ASTM 412/ ISO 37. My starting rubber was ENR latex. As stated in that standard type 1, the standard thickness should be 2.0mm plus minus 0.2 mm. However, when I vulcanize the prepared sample around that thickness in drying oven, it resulted bubbles formed on the surface of the rubber film. this problem restricted me to proceed with tensile analysis as the sample will easily rupture for tensile and give me inaccuracy result. the problem is lessen when I reduce the thickness of the film to around 1.5mm. I am thinking to reduce the thickness, however, it will not following the standard thickness. Is it possible for me to do that with the above limitation? What is the condition/pre-requirement to reduce the thickness not following the standard (just for thickness part, other following the standard).

Hi there,
There is an internal gene in plant to diagnose of which ISO has a protocol, primer, and a temperature program. I have ordered this universal primer twice and checked annealing from 52-59. I just saw the same size non-specific band( far larger than the target) in both PC and NTC in each temperature 54-59. The results remain the same whatever I have changed, such as primer or DNA concentration, or master mix.
Relevant answer
Answer
If the unwanted band is very much larger than the wanted one you could try reducing the annealing time and extension time to just a few seconds each to give the small band a better chance. Taq extends at more than 100bases/second so you do not need much extension time. Try also a DMSO gradient. Run tubes at your current conditions but tubes contain 0%, 1%.2%......8% final concentration of dmso and usually non specific bands will disappear as the dmso gets more concentrated and then above 10% dmso the reaction starts to fail

I am working on a security measurement framework for open source ERP software. I would like to get expert opinion on the factors that affect security attributes as defined in ISO/IEC 25010
Relevant answer
Answer
Your question focused on the CIA and AAA as commonly called in the cybersecurity world. In your question, you are more concerned with security attributes that are related to ISO/IEC 25010. That implies that you are concerned with:
(1) quality in use model and
(2) product quality model.
In addition to contribution by Ziaur Rahman
William M. Hayden Jr.
and
Krunalkumar Shah
, I suggest you review the briefs below.
  • identify software and system requirements;
  • validate the comprehensiveness of a requirements definition;
  • identify software and system design objectives;
  • identify software and system testing objectives;
  • identify quality control criteria as part of quality assurance;
  • identify acceptance criteria for a software product and/or software-intensive computer system;
  • establish measures of quality characteristics in support of these activities. (taken from https://www.iso.org/standard/35733.html)
If you are considering high availability, one of the best means of attaining close to 99.9% availability is IaaS with the infrastructure provided by CSP with SOC2 type 2 audit report. By my definition and suggestion, I am vendor neutral. Ask for SOC2 Type 2 report from any cloud service provider before using such infrastructure to guarantee high up time. Since you have identified the open source ERP, proceed to development environment or sandbox to first deploy, test and then move to production. However, ensure that the Open Source ERP has wide community support.
You can support the integrity of both the system and data with the implementation of TLS for data in transit and AES for data at rest in the cloud. If you have the fund and you plan to work remotely in your organization, you may also invest in thin-client. This will ensure both integrity and confidentiality of your data and systems.
For AAA, you must have the I - Identification system for all users. Try to use the same user identification nomenclature to simplify identity management. Perhaps, if you have a system that uses kerberos, you may plan to have a federated identification in the future or even use a SAML to provide a seamless integration of the cloud and on premise infrastructure through a TLS connection. Make your A-Authentication follow your organization's policy on password. These days, NIST recommend the use of long paraphrase instead of complex password while you may not need to set the password to expire at any date. For A-Authorization, you should adopt the least privilege and need to know principle for all users. Try to ensure a proper documentation of all authorization of access using two-man authorization principle (at least, two persons must authorize the assignment of access to any user). Finally you must enable logging of user activities, especially privilege users to guarantee A-Accountability.
For non-repudiation, the use of both symmetric and asymmetric encryption must be enforced for all users and the entire system. That means use TLS (https) for your data in motion through the browser and AES for data at rest (in database). You can always use hash to ensure for each backup to ensure the integrity of your backups.
All the above needs management full support. Try to implement a good Change Management system so that someone will not mess up your work. Users must be trained and evaluated to ensure a good success of your project.
I hope the explanation above will be helpful. You may reach me for further clarification on my email (in my profile). Thanks.

In an attempt to modernise the security control framework, the new version of ISO 27002:2022 is out. I wondered if anyone had looked remarkably at the latest version to determine the level of modernising that might have been in implementation.
I’m interested in views of the new format and structure, whether it achieves its aims of modernising the security control framework to meet the challenges of modern architectures?
Relevant answer
Answer
What is the current version of ISO 27002?
What's new in ISO 27002:2022? ISO 27002:2013 contained 114 controls, divided over 14 chapters. This has been restructured, the 2022 version contains 93 controls, divided over 4 chapters: 5.
How many controls are there in ISO 27002?
Published in October 2013, the latest version of ISO 27002 covers 14 security controls areas (numbered from 5 to 18), with implementation guidance and requirements for each specific control.
How does the ISO IEC 27001 differ from ISO IEC 27002?
The key difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 is that ISO 27002 is designed to use as a reference for selecting security controls within the process of implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001. Organisations can achieve certification to ISO 27001 but not ISO 27002.
What is the purpose of ISO 27002?
The ISO 27002 standard is a collection of information security guidelines that are intended to help an organization implement, maintain, and improve its information security management.
What is the ISO 27002 standard?
What is ISO 27002? ISO 27002 is a supplementary standard that focuses on the information security controls that organizations might choose to implement. These controls are listed in Annex A of ISO 27001, which is what you'll often see information security experts refer to when discussing information security controls.

The cryopreserved microorganisms are bought and therefore assumed to be pure cultures, so one would assume the sequential cultures aren't to isolate the pretended microorganism. Why according to ISO 11930:2019(en) can we only use the second and third cultures?
Relevant answer
Answer
It has nothing to do with the purity of the inoculum but rather with the fact that, after cryopreservation, some bacterial strains may exhibit a prolonged lag phase so with only one subculture can happen that they are not in "perfect" conditions. With a second subculture you make sure the strains are metabolically recovered from the cold temperatures. Hope that helps!

Hi,
I have tried several times to run WB with my protein lysate from heart tissue. My lysis buffer is 1XRIPA +1X of proteinase inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails and the samples are always on ice. My samples buffer + adding reduced reagent as DTT before loading on the SDS 4-20% gel. I tried to detect my phosphorylated protein as phospho_phospholamban (Ser16), I got signals but the problem is I got also strong signal in my control samples (from sham mouse ) without any stimulation like ISO or other reagents. Sometime my control samples showing as strong signal as my stimulated samples therefore it is very hard to say the stimulated samples is actually stimulated or not. So I just wonder that do you have any idea why my control samples gave strong signal (band) even I added phosphatase inhibitor? Is it because low amount I did add ? Thanks for help!!
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello,
Phosphatase inhibitors are added to the lysis buffer to prevent dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated proteins. This should not be the cause of the problem.
There are two possibilities which I can suggest.
1. How sure are you that the controls you have used are really good controls.
2. The primary antibody may not be specific for phospho-proteins. You may have to change your primary antibody.
Another point I need to add is whenever you have to detect phosphorylated proteins do not use non-fat dry milk for blocking because casein present in non-fat dry milk is a phospho protein which could cause non-specific binding resulting in background bands. Instead, you can use
3-4% BSA for blocking.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck.

I am reading ISO 19036 at point 7.2, which addresses counting uncertainty. For the calculation of the distributional standard uncertainty of a Poisson distribution is indicated the formula:
u_poisson = (1 / Ln10) / sqrt (EC),
being EC the number of counting colonies.
On the other hand, the variance of a Poisson distribution is equal to its mean value, therefore, the standard deviation should be its square root.
I understand that the units above correspond to a log10, but still the basic calculations give me very different values.
Can someone explain to me where the equation of the iso 19036 for u_poisson comes from?

I am trying to develop a simple method for amateurs to make relative measurements of noise in digital cameras. One method involves taking multiple images of a standard grey card, bringing the images into Photoshop as a stack and then using Photoshop's standard deviation function. As expected, the mean value of the standard deviation over the image increases with ISO setting. However, there is also a distinct spatial pattern to the standard deviation visible at all ISO settings. (See example image attached.) Changing lenses or just adjusting focus changes the pattern.

Douglas Stinson I do not know. A file in photoshop, and the screen is periodic. Taking a picture of a screen may give moire patterns. I guess that would be the mean, just one pic. I havent experimented with picture averaging and optics in practice. But use statistics a lot on data in general.
I do have an optics course from the study time and worked with a large laser for TV holography recordings. The small lenses we used would always give fringe patterns doe to imperfections in the glass or small particles. The lenses were used to spread the laser beam over an object for study. It would not look as periodic as your pic, but still there would be irregularl cocentric fringes with shifting maxima and minima.

Hello,
Recently I've been looking for a strict guidelines considering the stability of chromatographic mobile phases. Found none, only some hints, good practice clues or SOP's from different labs all based on "scientific judgment". It is great for RnD, but not enough for GMP/ISO.
I bet many people here already dig this topic inside out. Can anyone direct me towards clear guidelines or possibly share the methods of testing the stability of the different mobile phases (besides pH checking) that she/he uses?
Any "hard facts" would be greatly appreciated especially for those working with routine and GMP analyses, and before audit :)

I am trying to simulate Random Road Profile Grade-C as per ISO 8608 using Shaping Filter Method equation (Eq. 15 of attachement).
The value of "Alpha" is taken as 0.127 from Table.3 shown in attached image, "Velocity of vehicle, v = 20 m/s".
But as per Simulink Model (Fig.3) "Random Number Block" is used for generating "Zero Mean Gaussian White Noise". The Random Number block used for this requires 4 inputs i.e. "Mean", "Variance", "Initial SEED" and "Sample Time".
The "Mean" is taken as "0" , "Sample Time" is taken as Simulation fixed step time i.e. 0.001.
Now I have no clue what value will be used for "Variance" and "SEED"? for this white noise.
Will the "variance" be Square of "Sigma" from Table 3? or some thing else?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Mr Pankaj Sharma
I would suggest not to use that block anymore as it's obsolete nowadays. You can better follow another approach. Which is mentioned below.
Step 1 - Insert a MATLAB Function block into the Simulink workspace.
Step 2 - Design a White Gaussian Noise following the algorithm
  • signal=10 * sin(t) % your signal
  • ecart_type=abs(signal * .05) % variable std 5%
  • noise= mean + ecart_type .* randn(1, numel(signal));
into that block
Step 3 - Use that block as your Noise Generator.
The block 'AWGN' can not be found in the Matlab version after I think 2015 as it was removed for such complication, which you are facing presently. I hope I could help you. Good Luck!

ISO 7218 states that in cases where the number of colonies obtained in the 1st dilution is 0, the result must be calculated and presented as <1 / V * d (eg: <1/1 * 10^ -1; <10 cfu / g). ISO 19036: 2019 states that in these cases the LOQ should be calculated as <1 / 1.1 * d (eg: <1 / 1.1 * 10^-1; <9.1 cfu / g). What is your opinion on the matter?

In general, you need to precisely analyse the scope of each standard. From your calculation review I cannot determine what is the "colony" about, and what exactly is the dilution process and substance.
Further, what is the relation between the two ISO standards, and why do you not list the year of publication of 7218?
And, is there external evidence or knowledge about what is in the colony and what diagnostic procedure is evidence based? Again, I am not familiar with these standards and the content matter. It is a general knowledge on standards and scientific approach to finding evidence that I ask you these questions.

Hello,
we are conducting cytotoxicity tests since over an year and aren't able to get a stable test. We are no in the validation phase but there are some effects we can't explain. Here is an overview how we conduct the test in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-5:
- Seeding 1 x 10^4 cells in a 96-well plate (except the outer wells) --> incubate for 24 h
- Adding medical device extracts (100%, 50%, 10%, 1%) and controls:
- positive control: 1% Triton X (P)
- negative control: cell media (N)
- blank (B): media that was shaken with cell culture media for 24 h at 37 °C in the same kind of container like the medical device was shaken (in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-12)
- Incubation for 24 h
- Discard the media and add 50 µl MTT solution (10 mg/ml) --> incubate for 2 h
- Discard and add 100 µl Isopropanol --> incubate for 30 min
- Read out with microplate reader
See the pictures below...the cells are all the time okay until extracts and controlls are added...So something must happen at this point. Sometimes the negative control dies randomly. Sometimes the blank dies. Sometimes only one extract dilution which makes no sense. Does anyone have an idea?
Many thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
I have had enough failures in doing cytotoxicity and viability assays to be able to share some insights.
1. I don't know your cell line but if the cells are average sized and multiply properly, I would start by seeding a lower cell density around 1-2k cells per well. Lower cells density allows us to see a better resolution of effect by the agent/ controls on cell survival/viability/proliferation.
2. The most common but less discussed issue is changing media. Everyone you change media due to pipetting a large chunk of cells may be pipetted out. Resulting in negative results in one of the agents or positive controls. Many a times when cell density is very high a large chunk of cells gets uprooted out easily. So without touching the bottom the pipette needs to be touching the edge to gently remove media. This should be practiced throughout all media changes.
3. Another alternative is to avoid change of media as much as possible. One way is to directly put the MTT in the media. Although media has a colour due to phenol red it may affect reading but the media is present in all wells so it should not be an issue. Although some people use a media without phenol red to avoid this issue.
Hope this helps.

Whenever I try running it on VirtualBox i get this error: "VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)."
I went into my BIOS settings (on ASUS motherboard, don't know the exact model but i could look it up real quick and provide it if necessary). I went under Advanced -> CPU Configurations and found Intel VT-x technology. It was greyed out and I couldn't change it but it said it was "Supported" already
I then went under Advanced Settings->System Agent Configuration Settings, and enabled the VT-d function.
Despite both apparently being enabled I am still getting the same problem and it is persisting.
My PC has no problem running a VirtualBox session with Ubuntu Server ISO so it's not an issue with virtualbox itself. This also seems to indicate VT-x is already enabled to begin with as virtualization tech is clearly supported on the PC.

If in the EU, the former MDD, and now the new Medical Device Regulations (MDR) state sufficient clinical evidence must be provided commensurate with the risks of the device. Integral to this aim is having a very clear and robust Risk Management process. This would involve of course having an intimate understanding of the use, benefits and risks associated with the device from various resources (eg, background education, literature, user discussions, adverse event analysis, etc.). If a clinical investigation is deemed appropriate, then you should be sure it addresses the risk and supports the claims of intended use.

Through casual conversation at the Practical Surface Analysis (PSA) meeting this week in Japan, I have become aware that there is still confusion on the availability and accessibility to terms and definitions in surface chemical analysis. While the ASTM E42 vocabulary document, E673, was widely available through most research libraries in the annual volume of ASTM standards, keeping the document consistent with the ISO vocabulary standard for surface chemical analysis, 18115-1, was difficult, particularly since the ISO document was adopting many more terms and growing quickly. It was decided to withdraw the ASTM document and make normative reference to the ISO vocabulary document in ASTM standards.
As part of this change, several people (Don Baer at PNNL and Cedric Powell at NIST in particular) made great effort in getting ISO to agree to make these terms free and readily accessible. They were very successful in getting this cooperation, and now all of the surface analysis vocabulary terms are readily accessible through the IOS Online Browsing Platform (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui). Now there are several sites also hosting links to this, in order to make these terms and definitions accessible. This is a valuable resource, and is freel
