The term “podcast” is a combination of “iPod,” Apple’s portable media player, and “broadcast.” It originated in the early 2000s when individuals began creating audio content specifically designed for download and playback on portable media players, including the iPod. Over time, the concept has evolved, and podcasts are now a popular and diverse form of digital media covering a wide range of topics, including news, education, entertainment, and more. The key feature of a podcast is its on-demand nature, allowing listeners to access content at their convenience.
Abstract: In this article, we study ongoing blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) standardization. To this end, we list standards organizations and the efforts they devote to standardise blockchain and DLT. We then identify a lack of terminology that can hamper communication on this topic and propose clarifications to address these ambiguities. Finally, we propose a high-level description of blockchain and DLT by describing three elements of their functional architecture.

Today we break down regulations, codes, standards and open-source literature governing the safety and sustainability of university-affiliated medical research and healthcare delivery facilities. In large measure, the safety and sustainability agenda of the university-affiliated healthcare system infrastructure coincides with the private sector. Accordingly, we confine our interest to systems — water, power, telecommunication and security; for example — that are unique to campus-configured, city-within-city risk aggregations.
We usually start with a scan of the following titles:
Some of the content in the foregoing links need weekly refresh. We’ll get to that, time permitting.
Starting 2023 we break down our coverage of standards thus:
Health 200 Clinical delivery
Health 400 Research
We will thumb through the titles published by HL7 and NSF International — both Ann Arbor-based organizations. A surprising number of medical data companies are domiciled in Ann Arbor; not far from our own offices on State Street. We will also see if any bills and resolutions introduced into the 117th Congress will make into public law.
– Common aspects of electrical equipment used in medical practice
– Diagnostic imaging equipment
– Equipment for radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and radiation dosimetry
– Electromedical equipment
As covered in previous posts, the original University of Michigan standards enterprise was one of the founding members of what has become ISO/TC 304 Healthcare organization management — following the lead set by Lee Webster at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Since last month’s colloquium ISO TC/304 there has been a fair measure of the usual back-and-forth that we will cover in today’s colloquium. We will examine the ideas in play in the links below today and try to organize them ahead of balloting:
International Conference on Harmonization: The ICH guidelines provide guidance on the development of pharmaceuticals and related substances, including clinical trials, drug safety, and efficacy.
Good Laboratory Practice: GLP is a set of principles that ensure the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies. It ensures that data generated from non-clinical laboratory studies are reliable, valid, and accurate.
Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated in India, features a delightful array of traditional foods. Sweets like ‘gulab jamun,’ deep-fried dough soaked in sugar syrup, and ‘jalebi,’ spiral-shaped saffron-scented pastries, are ubiquitous. ‘Ladoo,’ sweet gram flour balls, and ‘barfi,’ a milk-based fudge, are also popular. Savory treats include ‘namkeen’ like ‘chakli’ and ‘mathri,’ crispy snacks, along with ‘samosas’ and ‘pakoras,’ fried dumplings filled with various fillings.
Families often exchange these delectable creations and offer them as offerings to deities, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and the spirit of togetherness during this joyous festival.
