This document specifies a real-time PCR procedure for the quantitation of the amount of roe deer DNA relative to total mammalian DNA in meat and meat products.
Results of this roe deer assay are expressed in terms of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) haploid genome copy numbers relative to total mammalian haploid genome copy numbers. The content of roe deer can also be expressed as mass fraction in % using gravimetrically prepared calibration material from meat mixtures or model samples.
The method has been previously validated in a collaborative study and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of raw roe deer meat in a raw pig meat background as well as raw and boiled sausages.
The limit of detection of the roe deer PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 5 target gene copies or at least 0,1 % roe deer.

This document applies to the determination of beta emitters activity concentration using liquid scintillation counting. The method requires the preparation of a scintillation source, which is obtained by mixing the test sample and a scintillation cocktail. The test sample can be liquid (aqueous or organic), or solid (particles or filter or planchet). NOTE Planchet are samples, described in REF Section_sec_8.5 \r \h 8.5, out of solid material e.g. small metal, plastic or glass pans or support material made of these materials This document describes the conditions for measuring the activity concentration of beta emitter radionuclides by liquid scintillation counting[ REF Reference_ref_8 \r \h 2 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B0200000008000000100000005200650066006500720065006E00630065005F007200650066005F0038000000 ]. The choice of the test method using liquid scintillation counting involves the consideration of the potential presence of other beta-, alpha- and gamma emitter radionuclides in the test sample. In this case, a specific sample treatment by separation or extraction is implemented to isolate the radionuclide of interest in order to avoid any interference with other beta-, alpha- and gamma-emitting radionuclides during the counting phase. This document is applicable to all types of liquid samples having an activity concentration ranging from about 1 Bq·l−1 to 106 Bq·l−1. For a liquid test sample, it is possible to dilute liquid test samples in order to obtain a solution having an activity compatible with the measuring instrument. For solid samples, the activity of the prepared scintillation source shall be compatible with the measuring instrument. The measurement range is related to the test method used: nature of test portion, preparation of the scintillator - test portion mixture, measuring assembly as well as to the presence of the co-existing activities due to interfering radionuclides. Test portion preparations (such as distillation for 3H measurement, or benzene synthesis for 14C measurement, etc.) are outside the scope of this document and are described in specific test methods using liquid scintillation[3][[4][5][6][7][8][9][10].

This document specifies the Spatial Reference Model (SRM) defining relevant aspects of spatial positioning and related information processing. The SRM allows precise and unambiguous specification of geometric properties such as position, direction, orientation, and distance. The SRM addresses the needs of a broad community of users, who have a range of accuracy and performance requirements in computationally intensive applications. Aspects of this document apply to, but are not limited to: a) mapping, charting, geodesy, and imagery; b) topography; c) location-based services; d) oceanography; e) meteorology and climatology; f) interplanetary and planetary sciences; g) embedded systems; and h) modelling and simulation. The SRM specifies an application program interface (API) that supports the representations, conversion, and transformation of position and orientation information in a variety of forms. To ensure that spatial operations are performed consistently, the application program interface specifies conversion operations between alternative representations of geometric properties. This document is not intended to replace the standards and specifications developed by ISO/TC 211, ISO/TC 184, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). It is applicable to applications whose spatial information requirements overlap two or more of the application areas that are the scope of the work of ISO/TC 211, ISO/TC 184, the IAU, and the IAG.
