Evaluation of dynamic light scattering as a technique for the routine monitoring of therapeutic proteins on stability
… Some benefits of DLS over other aggregation-monitoring techniques, is its ability to analyse proteins in their native environment, its fast analysis time, and its ability to detect a wide particle size range. Additionally, for high molecular weight species (HMWS) detection, DLS is an …

Screening Listeria monocytogenes from bulk tank milk and in-line milk filter samples for the routine monitoring of the dairy farms
… and logistically difficult for continuous monitoring of L. monocytogenes at the farms. An alternative approach could be the testing of milk filters. Theoretically, milk filters may be more sensitive than BTM as a sampling material since all of the milk in the bulk tank has to pass through …

Biodiversity monitoring using environmental DNA: Can it detect all fish species in a waterbody and is it cost effective for routine monitoring?
The challenges associated with environmental monitoring such as the impact on the environment and the financial costs are problems we face when trying to conserve freshwater systems around the world. The need for precise and accurate results that are cost effective is important so that we can …

A review of the routine monitoring data for antiretroviral patients in the public health sector in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
… nationwide emphasis on the development of a good monitoring system for ART. The Provincial Government of the Western Cape (PGWC) has, in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO). developed a monitoring system to provide quarterly outcome data for patients on ART. [Aims and Objectives] …

Assessing the effectiveness of the ART programme in the Western Cape Province of South Africa through triangulation of context-appropriate population level routine monitoring and surveillance systems
… people needing HIV treatment, and efficiently monitoring programme effectiveness to improve patient care and service delivery. Concerns about the feasibility of further treatment expansion were being debated with trials showing benefit, but with ongoing uncertainty as to whether those benefits …

Coverage of prevention of mother-to-child transmission services in Cape Town, South Africa
… through pregnancy, intrapartum and postpartum. Routine monitoring systems based on service data and limited to women on the PMTCT programme may overestimate intervention coverage at multiple points along this cascade. Methods: Cord blood specimens with individually linked anonymous demographic …

Application of dynamic prediction models for longitudinal biomarkers and clinical outcomes in low and middle-income settings
Routine monitoring of individuals with chronic diseases offers valuable data for understanding disease progression and treatment effectiveness, often using biomarkers. With the modernisation of clinical care, prediction models have received greater attention in analysing such data. Prognosis …

Enabling Routine Chemical Composition and Volatility Distribution Measurements of Aerosols
… spectrometry and/or chromatography. However, routine monitoring requires lower-cost alternatives that can be operated autonomously, and such tools are lacking. Routine monitoring of particulate matter, especially organic aerosol, relies instead on offline techniques such as filter collection …

Secure SNMP-Based Network Management in Low Bandwidth Networks
… Mid-level management applications conduct routine monitoring chores on behalf of the top-level management application and report results in a way that makes intelligent use of the limited bandwidth available on the backbone network. The security framework is based on using SNMPv2c over …

Development of a Flow Cytometry Method for the Identification and Enumeration of Enterococcus faecalis
… for the method to increase the throughput of routine monitoring of water quality. A shorter response time to potential outbreaks of <em>E. faecalis</em> and the ability to quantify VBNC cells would further reduce risks to public health and safety.</p>

Coliforms, Salmonella, and Shigella in the James River Basin
… in the James River Basin was assessed using routine monitoring methods and pathogen detection techniques. Samples were collected from 10 different locations, once per month for 6 months, and analyzed for fecal coliforms, E. coli and total phosphorous. The location, date, flow rate, air …

Initial assessment of triplex PCR assay application for detection of toxic dinoflagellates, Alexandrium species (Dinophyceae), in environmental samples
… implementation of stringent controls governmg monitoring programmes commonplace. The South African monitoring programme was established in 1989 and relies upon microscopic identification of HAB species. Microscopic identification is labour-intensive, requiring a high level of taxonomic …

Reservoir-based devices for the monitoring and treatment of disease
… The systemic route is convenient both for routine monitoring and for drug administration. Local cancer biomarker concentrations, however, are more indicative of the state of solid tumors and their response to therapy. Furthermore, local drug delivery can achieve efficacy where systemic …

Studies of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Urban Atmospheres
… PAH has been re-examined within the context of a routine monitoring programme. Quantitative recovery of PAH from collected aerosols with their separation from the aliphatic component has been accomplished using a dimethyl sulphoxide extraction system. The concentrations of five representative PAH …
