Description arithmetical

Molecules are entities consisting of a set of atoms that are held together by interactions between these atoms. Thus, the first step towards a mathematical model of a molecule is the arithmetical description using a molecular formula, e.g. 

The diametei of average mass and surface area are quantities that involve the size raised to a power, sometimes referred to as the moment, which is descriptive of the fact that the surface area is proportional to the square of the diameter, and the mass or volume of a particle is proportional to the cube of its diameter. These averages represent means as calculated from the different powers of the diameter and mathematically converted back to units of diameter by taking the root of the moment. It is not unusual for a polydispersed particle population to exhibit a diameter of average mass as being one or two orders of magnitude larger than the arithmetic mean of the diameters. In any size distribution, the relation ia equation 4 always holds. 

Risk assessment pertains to characterization of the probability of adverse health effects occurring as a result of human exposure. Recent trends in risk assessment have encouraged the use of realistic exposure scenarios, the totality of available data, and the uncertainty in the data, as well as their quality, in arriving at a best estimate of the risk to exposed populations. The use of "worst case" and even other single point values is an extremely conservative approach and does not offer realistic characterization of risk. Even the use of arithmetic mean values obtained under maximum use conditions may be considered to be conservative and not descriptive of the range of exposures experienced by workers. Use of the entirety of data is more scientific and statistically defensible and would provide a distribution of plausible values. 

The results from the several studies that have been conducted to measure exposures associated with the use of chlorpyrifos are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 summarizes results from mixer-loader and applicator studies reported by Honeycutt et al.1 Listed for each work description are the number of replicates, the arithmetic mean, and the geometric mean for the replicates from both the passive dosimetry measurements and the biomonitoring tech-...

In Eqs. (16) and (17), a and P refer to atoms of the solute and solvent, respectively q is the permittivity of free space, Qa and Qp are atomic charges, and Rap is the distance between atoms a and p. The parameters eap, aap, Aap, Bap and Cap can either be assigned by fitting to experimental data or can be the arithmetic or geometric means of literature values for the individual atom types.10,65,66 The atomic charges are commonly determined by requiring that they reproduce the calculated molecular electrostatic potentials.10 In order to provide better descriptions of the solvent s structure, Eqs. (16) and (17) are generally extended to include solvent-solvent intermolecular interactions. 

In this chapter, you get some down-to-earth tips — so you can change a wordy description or situation into a standard arithmetic problem. Here I show you how to spot the clues that lie along the path toward a word problem s solution. 

Another common category of descriptive statistics is the measure of dispersion of a set of data about a central value. The range is the arithmetic difference between the greatest (maximum) and the least (minimum) value in a data set. While this characteristic is easily calculated and is useful in initial inspections of data sets,... 

The first three and the sixth columns give the sieve data and should be read as follows All of the sieved matter passed through the 707-/xm sieve, and 7.296 g remained on the 500- /xm sieve and had an arithmetic average size of 603.5 /xm. Similar descriptions can be given for crystals that remained on the other sieves and pan (L = 0). The total crystal mass recovered was 39.974 g. A histogram of the mass distribution from these data is shown in Fig. 10. 

Due to the lack of a reliable description, the diffusion of an ionic species in a molecular species is usually represented by the effective ionic diffusivity in the liquid phase [52]. The calculation of the diffusion coefficient for an ionic component in another ionic species is reduced to the arithmetical mean of both effective ionic diffusivities [52]. 

Due to the small sample size, all variables were only presented descriptively for the different bioanalytical data and pharmacokinetic parameters calculated number of relevant observations, geometric mean, geometric standard deviation, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, minimum and maximum. 

This descriptive statistic will be presented by CYP 2C19 metabolizer-status and where applicable by gender, including mean (arithmetic and/or geometric), standard deviation (usual and/or dispersion factor), standard error of the mean, coefficient of variation (in %), median, minimum, maximum, number of observations. 

In addition to the above mentioned dynamic problems of copolymerization theory this review naturally dwells on more traditional statistical problems of calculation of instantaneous composition, parameters of copolymer molecular structure and composition distribution. The manner of presentation of the material based on the formalism of Markov s chains theory allows one to calculate in the uniform way all the above mentioned copolymer characteristics for the different kinetic models by means of elementary arithmetical operations. In Sect. 3 which is devoted to these problems, one can also find a number of original results concerning the statistical description of the copolymers produced through the complex radical mechanism.

The median is very good for descriptive statistics since it enables us to make statements that half the observations lie above it and half below it. From the example in the previous paragraph we could say half the people in the neighborhood had incomes below 12,850 and half had incomes above this figure. The median often represents a real value as distinct from a calculated value which does not exist. The disadvantage of the median is that it does not lend itself to further statistical manipulation like the arithmetic mean. 

It is interesting to observe that arithmetic operations were seldom used by these students as a means of classification. We know this because the students were asked to write short descriptions of the bases for their groupings after they had completed the task. Almost all of them mentioned only surface features. As in Study 1, both the CA and the MDS yield consistent results. 

A second common arena in which students encounter story problems is the standardized test. The analysis here is based upon the CAP tests given to every third-, sixth-, and eighth-grade student enrolled in California public schools in 1989. Each test had multiple forms and contained many arithmetic story problems. A full description of the tests can be found in the reports issued annually by the California Department of Education (e.g., California Assessment Program, 1986). 

Another complication is that most of our descriptions are of complex mixtures and individual chemical signals are not always additive in a simple predictable arithmetic way. For example, it is known that the odours of the enantiomers of carvone are different. 1-Carvone (13.2) smells of spearmint whilst d-carvone (13.3) smells of caraway. Less well known is the fact that addition of nonanol (13.4), an alcohol with an oily smell reminiscent of unperfumed washing up liquid, to 1-carvone, will create an odour impression very similar to that of d-carvone. This... 

Although kij apparently retains its usefulness up to very high carbon numbers, the description of the properties of liquid mixtures of Ci0+ hydrocarbons is not completely satisfactory when only ki is used. An additional parameter is required, most likely as a correction for the deviation of an from the arithmetic mean (or from the Lorentz or cube-root mean). Such a correction has been used even for cryogenic mixtures (9), but it should be more meaningful—and important—for mixtures of heavy hydrocarbons. If the value of kn has been fixed already by fitting By or some other property of the vapor mixture, then the analysis of VLE data will permit the unique determination of the second parameter.
