Acceptability stratification

Many astrophysical textbooks accept the hypothesis of Michaud [14] of efficient stratification in the photosphere of selected elements, and even isotopes, by a delicate balance between the radiative pressure on the atoms and monatomic cations absorbing the ambient photons, and the fall due to gravitational attraction. This theory still needs to be refined in many elaborate details. If it applies to the He stars (Sect. 5) with the elusive helium isotope enriched by a factor 5000, the discrimination originates in the gravitational force being 25... 

The guidelines also present the agrument that the predetermined limits for the final blend uniformity should be tighter than the USP requirements because of the increase in process variability as one moves downstream. Let s assume that the geometry of the blender is such that 15 unit dose samples adequately represents the stratification of the blender five samples from the top, the middle, and the bottom of the bin. Reasonable acceptance criteria for the 15 unit dose samples is the stage 1 dose uniformity attributes requirements of no unit outside 85.0-115.0% of label claim. But what do we do about setting requirements for the relative standard deviation (RSD) It is known from statistical theory, refer to Larson (8), that the relationship between the population standard deviation and the sample standard deviation is given by Eq. 1. 

The solid material obtained in Step 3 shall be weighed and placed in an extractor with 16 times its weight of deionized water. Do not allow the material to dry prior to weighing. For purposes of this test, an acceptable extractor is one which will impart sufficient agitation to the mixture to not only prevent stratification of the sample and extraction fluid but also insure that all sample surfaces are continuously brought into contact with well mixed extraction fluid. 

Stratification. (1) In the context of the design of clinical trials, a means of carrying out the randomization within demographic strata of the trial population. For example, a separate randomization list may be maintained for male and female patients in order to ensure that there is a balance of sexes within the treatment groups. (2) In the context of the analysis of clinical trials, a means of analysis which first compares the effects of treatment within demographic strata before combining these results into an overall summary. It is usually considered necessary to stratify at analysis if one has stratified at randomization. However, it is generally accepted that one may (and under certain circumstances should) stratify at analysis even if one has not been able to do so at randomization. 

The vertical coefficient is most easily defined, with an accepted value of 0.067/iw, unless density stratification restricts the value or irregular boundary geometry enhances it. 

Thus, in summary, note that poor linear, areal and vertical waterflooding efficiency may occur for unfavourable M, and that the role of polymer is basically to remedy this situation by reducing M. However, for linear and areal (homogeneous) sweep improvement it is necessary only to reduce M to approximately unity. In cases where larger scale heterogeneities occur, e.g. vertical stratification or areal channel sands, it may be necessary to reduce M to a value considerably below unity. The desirable M for such cases will depend on the details of the particular system of interest. This may also be constrained by certain practical problems such as the magnitude of additional pressure build-up that is acceptable when using viscous polymers in the field. 

The Latin hypercube sampling technique (LHS Helton and Davis 2003) can be employed in order to reduce the number of simulations, Ns, in addition to achieving an acceptable level of accuracy for the statistical characteristics of response. The LHS is a special type of MC simulation that uses the stratification of the theoretical CDFs of uncertain parameters. Stratification divides the CDF curve into Ns equal intervals on the probability scale (i.e., 0.0 to 1.0). A sample is then randomly drawn from each interval or stratification of the input CDFs based on the... 

Spot temperature elements are widely accepted for product temperature assessment on tanks with homogeneous products. Installation is simple and the reliability is good. The graph of Fig. T-25 shows that spot measurements are unsuitable to accurately measure the temperature of products that tend to stratify. The effects of temperature stratification can be neglected only for light products, mixed frequently.
