Acronyms, definitions

Detector Selectivity. A selective detector responds only to certain types of compound [FID, NPD, BCD, PID, etc. (see acronym definitions in Appendix B)]. The thermal conductivity detector is universal in response. 

Electron correlation studies demand basis sets that are capable of very high accuracy, and the 6-31IG set I used for the examples above is not truly adequate. A number of basis sets have been carefully designed for correlation studies, for example the correlation consistent basis sets of Dunning. These go by the acronyms cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, cc-pVQZ, cc-pV5Z and cc-pV6Z (double, triple, quadruple, quintuple and sextuple-zeta respectively). They include polarization functions by definition, and (for example) the cc-pV6Z set consists of 8. 6p, 4d, 3f, 2g and Ih basis functions. 

The phenomenal growth of the World Wide Web and Internet has revolutionized the delivery of text and image-based information. All signs point to the idea that this will be the definitive technology for the foreseeable future. The rate of change in computer capabilities will pull us all forward. Some of us may not be in the position to drive such changes but merely will be able to follow. One sees acronyms such as CADDY, PDF, HRML, and XML, but what exactly do they mean How would an electronic submission function What would it look like What are the basic pieces, or building blocks, of an electronic submission ... 

A consensus-derived definition and classification system for ARF has been proposed and is being validated (Fig. 75-1). Components of the system include both GFR and UOP plus two clinical outcomes. Definitions of risk of dysfunction, injury to and /ail ure of the kidney, loss of function, and end-stage kidney disease are included in the RIFLE acronym. 

Before scientifically sound research can be performed on a subject, clear definitions must be set. Although, this may seem a logical step, Osborn (Osborn et al., 1988) highlighted that this has been a stumbling block for research in safety science since its inception. Definitions of concepts like accidents, incidents, near misses, risk, and safety, are known in the field of safety science, but interpreted differently in various situations. Unclear and ambiguous definitions lead to misinterpretations and confusion and must be avoided. Therefore, some general concepts used in safety science and the definitions used in this thesis are discussed in this Section. In the remainder of this thesis specific concepts will be defined where appropriate and can also be found in a list of acronyms and definitions presented in the beginning of this thesis. 

There are seven basic SI (Systeme International) emits from which all other units can be derived. These seven are assumed to be independent of each other and have various specific definitions that you should know for the examination. The acronym is SMMACKK. The base SI units ... 

The user then turns to the "E" terms for the definition. Cross references are also made from variant spellings, acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols. 

This wider definition can be summarized as the analysis of the process and had been developing in the pharmaceutical industry since around 2004-2006 to encourage better use of the information content of classical process analytical methods for the improvement of process development and connol. Particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, the acronym PAT for Process Analytical Technology was often being used to describe this newer definition of process analytics. 

The intention of this section is to provide to the reader a rapid and comprehensive reference for the most common definitions and acronyms used in mass spectrometry. Currently lUPAC has initiated a project to update and extend the definitions of terms related to the field of mass spectrometry. The definitions presented here (Table 1.6) are from the third draft document [16]. For more details and the latest updates, please consult www.msterms.com. 

Eor each test, write the number of the question and your answer on a separate sheet of paper, then after going through all the questions in the test, compare your answers with those in the book. Attempt one open-book test and one closed-book test so as to mimic examination conditions. Refer to Appendix D for feedback on those questions you did not answer correctly. Information on the proprietary names listed in the book is given in Appendix A. Appendix B includes definitions of medical terms included in the book, while Appendix C lists abbreviations and acronyms. 

Most abbreviations (or acronyms) are defined at first use and then used without definition. Abbreviations often omit periods (e.g., LC not L.C.). (See appendix A.)... 

Also included are a few pages for quick reference to acronyms and abbreviations, plus one to define all the explosives mentioned in the text. This section is called Definitions, Symbols, and Abbreviations. The Bibliography collects all the references cited in the text and adds a few. A Subject Index completes the work. 

Abbreviations are written in capitals and should be defined the first time that are used. The definition should be repeated in the summary for all but the most common acronyms (e.g., clinical pathology parameters). Proper names, e.g.. Valium, are capitalized, chemical names, e.g., diazepam, are not. Only the first letter of a proper noun is written in capitals, not the entire word.
