Management's regular assessment of the quality of internal control.
The systematic process of collecting information on clinical and non-clinical performance. Monitoring may be intermittent or continuous. It may also be undertaken in relation to specific incidents of concern or to check key performance areas.
Observing and noting specific details, e.g., particular aspects of the growth of plant's in an experiment; the farmer's use of specific varieties or types of cultivation in specific areas.
an observation, evaluation and recording of performance to provide advice and enhance future development.
The authorised observation, by qualified personnel, in order to report on a clearance or demining activity, without taking responsibility for the quality or effectiveness.
Monitoring is the exercise carried out to measure key data and enable the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to be determined.
Area-wide analytical monitoring of chemical contamination.
The process of measuring certain environmental parameters on a real-time basis for spatial and time variations. For example, air monitoring may be conducted with direct-reading instruments to indicate relative changes in air contaminant concentrations at various times.

Keywords:  pest, mohn, macroscopic, check, torr
We have used this term throughout to include any activity that measures the status of a pest within a population. Monitoring more usually is aimed at assessing changes in the prevalence or behaviour of a pest but includes checking for continuing absence, for example DOC monitors for absence of pests on islands.
closely tracking or recording pest activity, density, and location.
using various techniques to check for the presence and concentration of phytoplankton and/or toxins that have be related to harmful algal blooms
Tracking system to ensure measures are in place to identify and communicate performance achievements and plans. Based on existing frameworks such as the Balanced Scorecard, as well as on client-specific frameworks. Data is processed using Compass Pilot system.
Continuous research which regularly measures the change in some indicators. Similar to tracking.
A process of checking a programme regularly to find out how far it is implementing according to plan.
periodic collection of data to study changes in an environment over time.
An entity, part of the end-to-end reconfiguration management system, corresponding to the process that monitors the environment collecting sufficient statistics, Monitoring Data (MON_DATA), to update the environment model used to decide if reconfiguration is needed. This entity can be distributed across the network (terminal, core network) so we distinguish between Monitoring Terminal Side (MON_TS), and Monitoring Network Side (MON_NS). Distribution depends on where the environment statistics are collected, where the reconfiguration decision is taken etc. These parts communicate for transferring "monitoring data" by means of the Reconfiguration Management Network Interface (RC_MGMNT_NETIF). To monitor equipment physical resources the Resource Monitor (MON_RSRC) entity is defined.
The processes through which a Venture Capitalist firm will closely monitor the performance of the business until exit is achieved and take remedial action to protect its interests whenever necessary.
Monitoring a discussion on iCSP means that whenever replies are received to a monitored discussion, you can receive an e-mail notification containing a link to that reply.
the repeated censusing of a species, suite of species, natural community or other feature of interest.
Monitoring is repeated surveying or counting carried out to determine whether populations are increasing, decreasing or stable, or whether their range is expanding, contracting or stable.
the repeated measurement of an indicator over time and space with the intent of detecting change.
Devices used to perform monitoring, controlling, and/or supervisory functions, at a distance as opposed to on site.

Keywords:  sitescope, fault, detect, poll, notify
The use of sampling and detection equipment to determine the levels of radiation or other toxic materials in land, air, or water.
(Machine Safety) The verification of system components to detect failures or faults of any part of the monitored system that could affect the performance of safety-related functions.
SiteScope is a monitoring application for systems and services. Monitoring means to poll, test, or check systems and services in your Web environment automatically and at regular intervals to verify operation and availability. SiteScope records each monitor run, or test, and records the data for viewing with reports. If an error or fault is detected, SiteScope can take action using alerts to notify you of the fault and in some cases to try to remedy the fault automatically. SiteScope includes a large number of monitor types for both passive and active monitoring. A number of SiteScope monitor types provide active monitoring capability by simulating the actions of a client.
Products, systems and services for the monitoring of environmental standards and conditions, both directly and remotely. Examples include monitors and instruments (products), continuous emissions monitoring systems (systems), and installation and maintenance (services).
Periodic or continuous sampling to determine the level of pollution or radioactivity.
involves periodically or continuously watching or testing to collect information.
Conducting studies to determine the: presence, extent, or relative condition of wildlife and plant resources following an initial inventory or studies; and success of land management activities.
An on-going process of reviewing a program's activities to determine whether set standards or requirements are being met.
An examination of the status of the activities of a supplier and of their results by the acquirer or a third party.
