the implementation and effects of a clinical laboratory accreditation program in korea from 1999 to 2006
Korean Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Bomoon Shin, Seoklae Chae, Wonki Min, Wee Gyo Lee, Young Ae Lim, Do Hoon Lee, Hwan Sub Lim, You Kyoung Lee, Youngjoo Cha, Soonpal SuhAbstract:Background: The Korean Laboratory Accreditation Program (KLAP) by the Korean Society of Laboratory Medicine (KSLM) was started in 1999. We summarized history and achievement of KLAP for the last 8 yr. Methods: We analyzed 8 yr data (1999-2006) of historical events, trends of participating laboratories, and scores according to the impact of the question to the outcome of the tests. Inspection check lists are for 'laboratory management', 'clinical chemistry', 'diagnostic hematology', 'clinical microbiology', 'diagnostic immunology', 'transfusion medicine', 'cytogenetics', 'molecular genetics', 'histocompatibility', 'flow cytometry', and 'comprehensive laboratory test Verification Report'. The laboratories with score 90 or higher got 2-yr certificate and laboratories with score between 60 and 89 got 1-yr certificate. The laboratories with score below 60 failed accreditation. Results: The number of accredited laboratories was 2.4 times higher in 2006 (n=227) than in 1999 (n=96). Inspection check lists have been revised 5 times till 2006. The average accreditation rate was 99.6% during these periods and the 2-yr accreditation rate was 32.4% in 2000, 45.6% in 2001, 53.3% in 2002, 47.3% in 2003, 68.5% in 2004, 37.7% in 2005, and 47.7% in 2006. Number of participants in inspector training workshops increased from 89 in 2000 to 766 in 2006. Conclusions: The KLAP has been in place successfully and stabilized over the past 8 yr. It seemed to enhance the laboratory quality. Efforts for improvement of quality control and inspector training workshops appeared to be in the main contributing factors.

The International Space Station Space Radiation Environment: Avionics Systems Performance in Low-Earth Orbit Single Event Effects (SEE) Environments
2018Co-Authors: Schmidl, William D., Gingras, Benjamin D., Suggs, Robert M., Worthy, Erica S., Alred, John W., Steagall, Courtney A., Boeder Paul, Hartman, William A., Koontz, Steven L.Abstract:Single event effects (SEE) are those errors, anomalies, or failures in microelectronic devices caused by the passage of a single energetic charged particle through the device. Spacecraft SEE environments consist primarily of energetic charged particles; both primary particles originating in the natural environment and secondary particles (including secondary neutrons) produced by nuclear reactions of primary particles with spacecraft materials. The energetic charged particle components (electrons, protons, and atomic nuclei) of the spacecraft SEE environment include galactic cosmic rays (GCR), and planetary radiation belt charged particles, as well as solar energetic particle event (SPE) charged particles. The International Space Station (ISS) orbital altitude and inclination (~350 km to ~420 km at 51.6o inclination) results in a spacecraft SEE environment that varies dramatically with the location in Earth?s geomagnetic field. Geomagnetic GCR shielding diminishes with distance from the geomagnetic equator. Near + 51.6o latitude the ISS GCR environment has a high degree of similarity to the interplanetary GCR environment in cis-Lunar space.SEE environments supporting ISS avionics systems design, development, test, and Verification are documented in SSP-30512, Space Station Ionizing Radiation Design Environment. Comparisons of overall ISS avionics systems in-flight performance with pre-flight Verification Report predictions have been previously Reported and meet or exceed expectations in all cases.In this paper we Report the results of more detailed investigations of the effects of geographic location, altitude, solar cycle, and shielding mass effects on the in-flight SEE performance of the ISS command and data handling system during the past 17 years. In addition, we Report on the preflight testing and in-flight performance of the commercial-off-the-shelf lap top computers used on ISS. Finally, we present an assessment of ISS as an avionics SEE test and flight demonstration platform for exploration hardware destined for the cis-lunar or other inner solar system environments
