Aseptic Laboratory Techniques: Plating Methods
Published on: May 11, 2012
Abstract:
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique was developed by the U.S. Navy in 1958. As a planning tool, it enables management to visualize any complicated task as a series of well-defined events. By estimating the time necessary to progress from one event to the next, planners can delineate a pathway of "critical events" and thus conserve personnel and technical resources. Here is a demonstration of how this management control technique could be used in a laboratory setting.

01:24Kaplan-Meier Approach
The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric method used to estimate the survival function from time-to-event data. In medical research, it is frequently employed to measure the proportion of patients surviving for a certain period after treatment. This estimator is fundamental in analyzing time-to-event data, making it indispensable in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and reliability engineering. By estimating survival probabilities, researchers can evaluate treatment effectiveness,...
01:11Overview of Minitab
Minitab is a statistical software package designed for data analysis. With its origins in the 1970s and development at Pennsylvania State University, Minitab has grown significantly in its capabilities and applications. It plays a crucial role in quality management projects, especially in Six Sigma initiatives, by offering tools for process improvement and statistical analysis. Minitab's significance lies in its user-friendly interface, making complex statistical analysis accessible to users...
01:21Manipulation and Analysis
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...
