At 09.28 Eastern Standard Time on September 11 2001, President George W Bush stated that the US had succumbed to a serious asymmetric threat and vowed to hunt down the perpetrators. American Airlines flight 11 hit the north tower of New York's World

Data which are collected in order to estimate the correlation between parameters must be analysed with caution. Classical statistics of correlation are often inappropriate. The “r” statistic is very easily distorted by non-Normal data. Non-parame
External Quality Assessment of Microbial Counts from Water: To Score or Not to Score for Proficiency

Water and Environment Journal. 14:304-308
Scoring schemes were first introduced in water-chemistry inter-laboratory proficiency tests. Such scoring does not behave in a comparable manner when applied to microbiology external quality assessment. Conventional scores can become a lottery. This

Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) was used to investigate the relationships of members of the genus Fucus (F. spiralis, F. veskulosus, F. ceranoides and F. serratus), and between F. spiralis and F. spiralis forma nanus. Fucus spiralis and F. spirali

A rapid and simple method was developed to detect enteroviruses in large-volume water samples. It relies on the adsorption of the virus capsids to silica particles under acidic conditions, allowing their recovery by relatively gentle centrifugation.

Organism counts from environmental quality control (QC) samples, such as indicators in water, will show variation even if they come from a single well mixed batch. This is due to random variation and there may be additional effects from organism beha

A UK-based scheme of water microbiology assessment requires participants to record counts of relevant organisms. Not every sample will contain the target number of organisms because of natural variation and therefore a range of results is acceptable.

Eighteen isolates of Bacillus species and 15 of Clostridium perfringens, all of which had been associated with outbreaks of either food poisoning or non-gastrointestinal infection (NGI), were examined for relatedness by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (P

Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) was used for rapid inter-strain comparison of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from a small outbreak of sternal wound infections in a cardiothoracic surgical ward. The PyMS results were compared with those obtained b

32 isolates belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex were examined by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS). This technique demonstrated that recent clinical isolates of M. africanum were indistinguishable from those of M. bovis and together
