Abbreviated validations

The FDA Guidance document (FDA 2001) describes a circumstance somewhat related to abbreviated validations but one that is applicable to modifications of existing fully validated methods. The validation procedures required for such circumstances are called partial validations. In general, the required components of a partial validation wiU depend on what type of modification was made and the vahdation parameters that may have been affected the requirements can range from as little as one determination of intra-assay accuracy and precision to a nearly full vahdation. Examples of the modifications to existing methods that require some form of partial vahdation (FDA 2001) include method transfers from one laboratory to another (but it has been argued that this circumstance is... 

The abbreviation QSAR stands for quantitative structure-activity relationships. QSPR means quantitative structure-property relationships. As the properties of an organic compound usually cannot be predicted directly from its molecular structure, an indirect approach Is used to overcome this problem. In the first step numerical descriptors encoding information about the molecular structure are calculated for a set of compounds. Secondly, statistical methods and artificial neural network models are used to predict the property or activity of interest, based on these descriptors or a suitable subset. A typical QSAR/QSPR study comprises the following steps structure entry or start from an existing structure database), descriptor calculation, descriptor selection, model building, model validation. 

The Maximum Entropy (abbreviated MaxEnt) method has been used in the field of accurate charge density studies for some time now (see Section 2.2) it has the potential to overcome some of the limitations of traditional multipolar modelling, but great care must be taken not to apply it outside the range of validity of its own foundations. 

Some GLP professionals consider positive control substances (i.e., those materials intended to validate responsiveness of the test system to a chemical or biological challenge) to also be reference substances, as opposed to control substances however, the point is somewhat moot as the FIFRA GLP Standards characterization and handling requirements are exactly the same for both control and reference substances. As with test and control substances, reference substances must be characterized (usually determination of purity and stability) according to the abbreviated GLP Standards (see next section). 

It is at this point that the bulk of the CPU time is utilized, since the number of distance calculations increases with the square of the number of chain segments. To reduce this time, an abbreviated check is made to determine if a given atomic cartesian coordinate is within a specified distance (e.g., 12 A) of the newly appended atom. Thus, the vast majority of existing segments are disposed of with one, or at most three, subtraction calculations rather than full calculations of the exact distance. Terms in the second moment from atoms outside this cubic volume are not included in the summation. This is valid because of the rapidity at which the magnitude of a term decreases with increasing separation. 

As this abbreviated review has indicated there is no universally accepted interpretation of Cl shifts in iron compounds, and most of the empirical correlations that have been found are limited to either one spin state, or to one or two valence states. In most cases it is clear that the failure to find extended agreement between data and theory is because the theory has been forced to a limit where its approximations are no longer valid. Probably the main reason for the limited success of empirical correlations—e.g., the Cl shift with the nepheleuxetic and spectrochemical series or with electronegativity differences—is that the Cl shift depends on electron density distributions while the other quantities by-and-large depend on, or are measures of, electronic energy level differences. Since there is usually no simple relationship between the two quantities, the limited agreement is not surprising. It is clear that the... 

Many metals can be extracted from nitrate solutions by TBP. In those systems it is important to account for the HNOj-TBP interactions. The next set of equations were derived by [13] and are believed to be valid for the extraction of HNO3 at various nitrate concentrations into 30% TBP in kerosene. Abbreviating HNO3 as HE, and TBP as B, and including hydration for all species without specification, one derives...

For very many liquids, the entropy of vaporization at the normal boiling point is approximately 21 cal/mole °C water is not typical. The units for changes in entropy are the same as those for molar heat capacity, and care must be used to avoid confusion. When referring to an entropy change, a cal/mole °C is often called an entropy unit, abbreviated e.u. In order to avoid later misunderstanding, note now that this method of calculating AS from A HIT is valid only under equilibrium conditions. For transitions, for example, this method can be used only at temperatures where the two phases in question can coexist in equilibrium with each other. 

Such progress will come from further development and validation of the newer testing procedures and the development of techniques to select, for any given chemical, the most suitable testing methods. Perhaps of most importance is the development of integrated test sequences that permit decisions to be made at each step, thereby either abbreviating the sequence or making the next step more effective and efficient. 

The methods contained in this book apply to any type of computer systems validation project. However, for low criticality and/or low complexity projects, certain steps in the computer systems project can be abbreviated documentation may be shortened and combined reviews can be less formal, but not less thorough.

Although the protocol with respect to parentheses established in Section 1 would seem to allow (19) to be written as H1C1C11 11C1C1H, and, similarly, for (20), a different interpretation is given to this code. Namely, the parentheses, in such cases, are regarded as an integral part of the cylindrical name, rather than an abbreviating factor, and thus the above expansion is not a valid one. This aspect of the nomenclature will be clarified in Chapter 6.

The term electromotive force is no longer used but the abbreviation EMF is still considered a valid way of referring to E. If the terminals of the cell are connected by a wire a spontaneous current flows with electrons moving from the left-hand terminal to the right. This is accompanied by a chemical reaction in the cell. For cell (9.2.1), the reaction is...
