Technology Evaluation

Lj Bond, Rv Harris, Km Denslow et al. · 2010

Sealed, chemical isotope radiation sources have a diverse range of industrial applications. There is concern that such sources currently used in the gas/oil well logging industry (e.g., americium-beryllium [AmBe], 252Cf, 60Co, and 137Cs) can potentially be diverted and used in dirty bombs. Recent actions by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have reduced the availability of these sources in the United States. Alternatives, both radiological and non-radiological methods, are actively being sought within the oil-field services community. The use of isotopic sources can potentially be further reduced, and source use reduction made more acceptable to the user community, if suitable non-nuclear or non-isotope–based well logging techniques can be developed. Data acquired with these non-nuclear techniques must be demonstrated to correlate with that acquired using isotope sources and historic records. To enable isotopic source reduction there is a need to assess technologies to determine (i) if it is technically feasible to replace isotopic sources with alternate sensing technologies and (ii) to provide independent technical data to guide DOE (and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission [NRC]) on issues relating to replacement and/or reduction of radioactive sources used in well logging. This report presents an initial review of the state-of-the-art nuclear and non-nuclear well logging

Photovoltaic technology evaluation

E. C. Boes, M. G. Thomas · 1986

Photovoltaic power system technology is experiencing very rapid development. In order to maintain a current understanding of the status of this technology, the Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Project conducts an on-going program of evaluating PV hardware at the component, subsystem, and full power system levels. This paper describes: the evaluation of PV power system performance for several major PV installations in the US; recent results from the component and subsystem evaluation activities in our Photovoltaic Advanced Systems Test Facility (PASTF); and development and application of PV power system models to better understand PV power systems' performance.

Sensor Technology Evaluation

Richard Wickstrom · 2017

This CRADA effort between Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Northrup Grumman Electronic Systems (NGES) was commenced to the capabilities of sensor system designs and associated ground processing and to provide recommendations for data fusion and calibration approaches. The results of this CRADA have allowed increased tasking and exploitation efficiency for these systems, thus improving value to the community and the taxpayer.

Technology evaluation: DISC.

Robertson Es · PubMed · 1999

Cantab is developing its DISC technology as a potential gene therapy product for cancer (DISC-Onc) and neurological and blood disorders (DISC-GT). Clinical trials are expected to commence in early 1999 [296831]. The DISC technology utilizes a herpes virus that has had a gene removed to prevent it from replicating [250526]. Phase I trials in leukemia were scheduled to commence in 1998 [250526], however, it was decided that although DISC-Onc is capable of carrying genes into leukemic cells, the levels of immunomodulator genes did not meet the target initially set for the commencement of trials. Hence, Cantab turned its attention to other cancers, and hoped to identify an alternative target for phase I trials in the first half of 1998 [279798]. Additional preclinical work using a murine version of the lead construct produced a significant therapeutic effect in animal tumor models [289716]. DISC-Onc is envisaged to deliver immunogenic genes such as cytokine or stimulatory protein genes [275129]. Cantab, in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University and Birmingham University, has shown that the DISC-Onc has delivered genes effectively to human colorectal, gastric and ovarian cancer tumors. Transfection rates have been shown to be favorable and have been proven to be at least as good as, if not better than, other vectors [279798]. Also, DISC-Onc carrying a functional GM-CSF, has antitumor activity in mouse models of renal cancer and leukemia [250526], [261768]. The DISC Neurology technology (DISC-GT), for gene therapy of neurological disease, is being developed in collaboration with Cambridge University, and enables HSV-driven long-term gene expression in nerve cells [279798].

Technology evaluation: lerdelimumab, Cambridge Antibody Technology.

M. Francesca Cordeiro · PubMed · 2003

Cambridge Antibody Technology is developing lerdelimumab (CAT-152), the lead in a series of human anti-TGF beta 2 antibodies, for its potential in preventing post-operative scarring in patients undergoing surgery for glaucoma (trabulectomy). It also has potential for the treatment of fibrosis, cataract, retinopathy and connective tissue disease.

Evaluation of technology and technology assessment

Tobar Arbulu, José Felix · 1986

[es] La tecnologia no puede ser confundida con los abusos y mal usos de su utilizacion, para evitar esto se ha de hacer una evaluacion de la tecnologia. La prevision tecnologica sirve para revisar y modificar objetivos tecnologicos de tal manera que sean compatibles con el futuro logro, a continuacion se debe hacer una guia de planificacion, programacion, control y evaluacion que constituye la evaluacion de la tecnologia (Technology Assessment)
