Asymmetry ratio, definition

Figure 6. (A) RIG profile position times for PEGs given in Table n, under the experimental conditions described in the text A = +) B = t(0) C = t(-) see Figure 1 for definition of symbols. (B) Asymmetry ratio as a function of molecular weight for the PEGs.

Should one wish, these variables can easily be converted back to their expanded form through the definitions given in Equations 7 -9. Our measure of peak asymmetry is the ratio of half widths,...

Fibers of all types have played an important role in the development of civilization. In this chapter a definition of a fiber will be discussed and why this particular form of matter is unique. Many physical properties of fibers are related to less obvious variables such as asymmetry, surface tension, diameter, length, surface-to-volume ratios, and internal structure. The changes of properties that occur as assemblies of fibers are combined and connected in various configurations as related to phosphate fibers will also be explored.
