Attribute array

Other detector imperfections - Detectors also exhibit a wide range of other features that make these devices less than perfect. A major attribute that describes performance is cosmetic quality. Due to defects in the material or fabrication errors, some pixels of an array can exhibit...

Within the scope of thermoelectric nanostructures, Sima et al. [161] prepared nanorod (fibril) and microtube (tubule) arrays of PbSei. , Tej by potentiostatic electrodeposition from nitric acid solutions of Pb(N03)2, H2Se03, and Te02, using a 30 fim thick polycarbonate track-etch membrane, with pores 100-2,000 nm in diameter, as template (Cu supported). After electrodeposition the polymer membrane was dissolved in CH2CI2. Solid rods were obtained in membranes with small pores, and hollow tubes in those with large pores. The formation of microtubes rather than nanorods in the larger pores was attributed to the higher deposition current. 

The compounds that are identifiable in the sea represent a vast array of biochemicals attributable to the life and death of marine plants and animals. They are generally grouped into six classes based on structural similarities hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, lipids, fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Because they represent compounds that can be quantified and understood for their chemical properties and known role in biological systems, a great deal of information has been accumulated over the years about these groups and the specific compounds found within them.7... 

Surface roughness is also expected to result in depression of the capacitance semi-circle. This phenomenon, which is indeed apparent in both Figures 1 and 2, is, however, unrelated to surface area. Rather, it is attributable to surface heterogeneity, i.e. the surface is characterized by a distribution of properties. Macdonald (16) recently reviewed techniques for representing distributed processes. A transmission line model containing an array of parallel R/C units with a distribution of values is physically attractive, but not practical. An alternative solution is introduction of an element which by its very nature is distributed. The Constant Phase Element (CPE) meets such a requirement. It has the form P = Y0 wn... 

While a polar-zipper model was initially proposed for Asp2Glni3Lys2 (Perutz et ah, 1994), more recently a water-filled nanotube was proposed in which the homopolymer in the / -conformation forms a helical array having 20 residues per turn (Perutz et ah, 2002a,b). (In the earlier work, the diffraction pattern had been interpreted as a fiber pattern—that is, with the 4.8-A reflection in the fibril direction.) Rather than being attributed to intersheet stacking, the 8.4-A reflection was not accounted for. Further,... 

An attribute can always be retrieved from an implementation. Suppose I publish the type in Figure 6.4 on the Web and invite tenders for implementation A hopeful programmer sends me an array implementation ... 

Incident data in Section 3.0 show that more than half of the reactive incidents, where some causal information is available, are attributed to inadequate operating procedures and training. These data illustrate the challenge of effectively communicating a practical, working knowledge of an often complex array of chemical and process information. 

The existence in every human being of a vast array of attributes which are potentially measurable (whether by present methods or not), and probably often uncorrelated mathematically, makes quite tenable the hypothesis that practically every human being is a deviate in some respects. Some deviations are, of course, more marked and some more important than others. If this hypothesis is valid, newborn children cannot validly be considered as belonging in either one of two groups, normal and abnormal. Substantially all of them are in a sense "abnormal." In the majority, the "abnormalities" may be well enough concealed so that they are not revealed by clinical examination, though they may easily have an important bearing upon the susceptibility of the individual child to disease later in life.
