Failure-mode index

Search what already failed

A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.

WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Free light chain EQA: Analytical variability with clinical consequences - Data from 25 Italian EQA exercises (2021-2025).

Pasotti F, Da Molin S, Bosoni T et al. · 2026 · Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry

Serum free light chains (FLC) κ and λ, and the κ/λ ratio, are key biomarkers for the diagnosis, risk stratification and monitoring of monoclonal gammopathies. However, substantial between-method variability still limits harmonised…

Establishment of an LNA-TaqMan Fluorescent Quantitative PCR Assay for Differential Diagnosis of Virulent and Attenuated Strains of Short Beak and Dwarfism Syndrome Virus.

Lin, Cheng, Chen et al. · 2026 · Avian pathology : journal of the W.V.P.A

Abstract To enable differential detection of virulent and attenuated strains of duck short beak and dwarfism syndrome virus (SBDSV), we developed a fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay based on locked nucleic acid (LNA)-TaqMan probes.…

Aluminium trihydroxide in combination with ammonium polyphosphate as flame retardants for unsaturated polyester resin

· 2009 · eXPRESS Polymer Letters

The thermal and reaction to fire characteristics of a flame retardant unsaturated polyester (UP) ternary system are presented here. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed an improved thermal stability between 200–600°C with the addition of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) formulation. Cone calorimetry tests indicated that ATH is more efficient than calcium carbonate at delaying the ignition time, lowering the carbon monoxide yield and lowering the peak heat release (PHRR). However the addition of APP and ATH to the formulation failed to demonstrate any significant syn
