The ATFI Facilities for the PISC III Programme

THE INITIAL USE OF THE AFTI FACILITIES (ATELIER DES TUBES DE FORCE IRRADIES) WAS TO PERFORM, IN THE FRAME OF THE ORGEL PROGRAMME, EXAMINATION AND CONTROLS ON IRRADIATED PRESSURES TUBES AND THE CUTTING OF THESE PRESSURE TUBES FOR DELIVERY TO EXPERIMENTAL WORKERS OR FOR EVACUATION AS WASTE. SINCE THE END OF THE ORGRAL PROGRAMME, THE ATFI FACILITIES HAVE ALSO BEEN USED FOR SPECIFIC MEASUREMENTS ON OTHER IRRADIATED MATERIALS. IN 1983, THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES DECIDED THAT THE ATFI FACILITIES HAD TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM: 1. THE ULTRASONIC AND X-RAY EXAMINATIONS OF CONTAMINATED STEEL SPECIMENS UP TO 4 TONS, 1M3 AS MAXIMUM OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND 250 NM MAX. THICKNESS, WITH A MAX. RADIOACTIVITY CONTACT DOSE LESS THAN 1 REM/H AND LITTLE TRANSFERABLE CONTAMINATION; 2. THE DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION OF THESE CONTAMINATED SPECIMENS.NA-NOT AVAILABL

'4D Biology for health and disease' workshop report

The "4D Biology Workshop for Health and Disease", held on 16-17th of March 2010 in Brussels, aimed at finding the best organising principles for large-scale proteomics, interactomics and structural genomics/biology initiatives, and setting the vision for future high-throughput research and large-scale data gathering in biological and medical science. Major conclusions of the workshop include the following. (i) Development of new technologies and approaches to data analysis is crucial. Biophysical methods should be developed that span a broad range of time/spatial resolution and characterise structures and kinetics of interactions. Mathematics, physics, computational and engineering tools need to be used more in biology and new tools need to be developed. (ii) Database efforts need to focus on improved definitions of ontologies and standards so that system-scale data and associated metadata can be understood and shared efficiently. (iii) Research infrastructures should play a key role in fostering multidisciplinary research, maximising knowledge exchange between disciplines and facilitating access to diverse technologies. (iv) Understanding disease on a molecular level is crucial. System approaches may represent a new paradigm in the search for biomarkers and new targets in human disease. (v) Appropriate education and training should be provided to help efficient exchange of knowledge between theoreticians, experimental biologists and clinicians. These conclusions provide a strong basis for creating major possibilities in advancing research and clinical applications towards personalised medicine
