A time server is a server computing server computer that reads the actual time from a reference clock and distributes this information to its clients using a computer network . The time server may be a local network time server or an internet time server. The most important and widely used protocol for distributing and synchronising time is the Network Time Protocol NTP , though other less popular or outdated time protocols continue in use. The time reference used by a time server could be another time server on the network or the Internet, a connected radio clock or an atomic clock . The most common true time source is a Global Positioning System GPS or Radio clock GPS clocks GPS master clock . Time servers are sometimes multi purpose network server s, dedicated network servers, or dedicated devices. All a dedicated time server does is provide accurate time. An existing network server e.g. a file server can become a time server with additional software. The NTP homepage provides a free and widely used reference implementation of the NTP server and client for many popular operating system s. The other choice is a dedicated time server device. The term stratum is used to label the closeness to a central or high quality time server. The stratum indicates the place of a particular time server in a hierarchy of servers. The scale is 0 to 14 where 0 is the most accurate and likely a highly specialized physical hardware device. Some time clients will reject a time update from a server whose stratum is too high, and most will prefer low strata time sources to higher ones. This can be a pitfall for administrators setting up an in house time server with no true time source.

A Biological specimen also called a biospecimen is a Biology biological laboratory specimen held by a biorepository for research. Such a specimen would be taken by Sampling medicine sampling so as to be representative of any other specimen taken from the source of the specimen. When biological specimens are stored, ideally they remain equivalent to freshly collected specimens for the purposes of research. Human biological specimens are stored in a type of biorepository called a biobank , and the science of preserving biological specimens is most active in the field of biobanking. Quality control Setting broad standards for quality of biological specimens was initially a underdeveloped aspect of biobank growth. ref name foundation cite doi 10.1097 CCO.0b013e32834161b8 ref There is currently discussion on what standards should be in place and who should manage those standards. Since many organizations set their own standards and since biobanks are necessarily used by multiple organizations and typically are driven towards expansion, the harmonization of standard operating procedures for lab practices are a high priority. ref name foundation The procedures have to be evidence based and will change with time as new research and technology becomes available. ref name foundation Policy makers Some progress for the creation of policy making organizations include the National Cancer Institute s 2005 creation of the Office of Biobanking and Biospecimen Research OBBR ref name foundation and the annual Biospecimen Research Network Symposia. ref cite doi 10.1158 0008 5472.CAN 09 1795 ref The International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories , International Agency for Research on Cancer, Organisation for Economic Co operation and Development , and the Australasian Biospecimen Network have also proposed policies and standards. ref name foundation In 2008 AFNOR , a French standardization organization, published the first biobank specific quality standard. ref nam ... more details

File Swiss Commemorative Coin 1987 CHF 5 obverse.png thumbnail Commemorative Swiss coin showing the modulor . The Modulor is an anthropometric scale ratio scale of Proportion architecture proportion s devised by the List of Swiss people Swiss born List of French people French architect Le Corbusier 1887 1965 . It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial units Imperial system and the Metric system . It is based on the height of an English man with his arm raised. It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier s buildings and was later codified into two books. History Le Corbusier developed the Modulor in the long tradition of Vitruvius , Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci s Vitruvian Man , the work of Leone Battista Alberti , and other attempts to discover mathematical proportions in the human body and then to use that knowledge to improve both the appearance and function of architecture . ref Ostwald, Michael 2001 p146 ref The system is based on anthropometry human measurements , the double unit, the Fibonacci numbers , and the golden ratio . Le Corbusier described it as a range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things. With the Modulor, Le Corbusier sought to introduce a scale of visual measures that would unite two virtually incompatible systems the Anglo Saxons Anglo Saxon Foot length foot and inch and the French Metric system. ref Le Corbusier 2004 p17 ref Whilst he was intrigued by ancient civilisations who used measuring systems linked to the human body elbow cubit , finger Digit length digit , thumb inch etc., he was troubled by the metre as a measure that was a forty millionth part of the meridian of the earth. ref Le Corbusier 2004 p20 ref In 1943, in response to the French National Organisation for Standardisation s AFNOR requirement for standardising all the objects involved in the construction process, Le Corbusier asked an appre ... more details
