Some documents that can be adapted for use in veterinary practice management are presented, namely: the Appraisal Meeting Checklist, Appraisal Process Checklist, Job Description Template, Job Vacancy Shortlisting Record and Guidance Notes, Person Specification Template, Staff Induction Timetable, and Template for Developing New Protocols and Procedures.
This article outlines a proof-theoretic approach to developing correct and terminating monadic parsers. Using modified realizability, we extract formally verified and terminating programs from formal proofs. By extracting both primitive parsers and parser combinators, it is ensured that all complex parsers built from these are also correct, complete and terminating for any input. We demonstrate the viability of our approach by means of two case studies: we extract (i) a small arithmetic calculator and (ii) a non-deterministic natural language parser. The work is being carried out in the interactive proof system Minlog.
Efforts to extend a pre-existing European Code of Practice (CoP) covering small punch creep and tensile testing into a full International standard procedure are progressing. Swansea Materials Research & Testing Ltd, in collaboration with the academic team based at Swansea University, have been proactive in anticipating some of the key recommendations from the ECISS TC 1010/WG 1 with a view to gaining accreditation for an extensive suite of small punch test equipment. Here, comparisons between the miniaturised form of small punch creep testing will be made to the expectations for calibration and measurement laid down by existing standards for creep testing of conventional scale specimens. In particular, the calibration requirements relating to load, displacement, alignment and temperature measurement will be addressed. With test reproducibility at the forefront of our attention, recent modifications to test rigs to control load application and validation exercises to define small punch temperature distribution will be described. Ultimately, the need to develop an uncertainty budget for small punch creep testing will be highlighted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
