Summary
The Reference Material Committee of ISO (ISO/REMCO) was transformed into ISO/TC 334, Reference Materials, following a December 2020 decision. This change impacts future guidance for reference material production and use.
Area of Science:
- Metrology
- Standardization
- Reference Materials
Background:
- The 43rd ISO/REMCO meeting was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A significant decision was made by the ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) in December 2020.
- This decision involved the transformation of ISO/REMCO into a new ISO technical committee.
Observation:
- The transformation of ISO/REMCO into ISO/TC 334, Reference Materials, was officially decided in December 2020.
- The cancellation of the 43rd ISO/REMCO meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic preceded this decision.
- The report details the background and implications of this organizational change.
Findings:
- ISO/REMCO has been officially transformed into ISO/TC 334, focusing on Reference Materials.
- This transformation was formalized by the ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) in December 2020.
- The report provides an update on the committee's work program and future strategy.
Implications:
- The establishment of ISO/TC 334 will shape the future development of guidance for reference material production and use.
- This restructuring aims to enhance the standardization and development of reference materials globally.
- The committee's work program will continue, with a strategic focus on advancing reference material science and application.

01:16Olefin Metathesis Polymerization: Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP)
2.8K
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization or ROMP involves strained cycloalkenes as starting materials. The mechanism of ROMP proceeds by reacting cycloalkene with Grubbs catalyst to give metallacyclobutane intermediate which undergoes a ring-opening reaction to form new carbene. The new carbene reacts with another molecule of cycloalkene. Repetition of these steps leads to the formation of an unsaturated open-chain polymer product. All these steps are reversible, however, relieving the ring...

21.6K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

01:23Insulation Coordination
302
Insulation coordination is the process of matching electric equipment's insulation strength with protective device characteristics to protect the equipment against expected overvoltages. This selection is based on engineering judgment and cost. Equipment can generally withstand short-duration high transient overvoltages, but repeated tests with identical waveforms can yield inconsistent results. As a result, standard impulse voltage waveforms are used for testing, defined by specific times...

302
Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

394
Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically...

01:20Virtual Work
1.1K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
