Basis pints

If designs are compared on the basis of count, then failure rates of each type of pint cither must be about the same, or be adjusted for the variations. For example, the parts count of vacuum-tube and solid-state television sets (using discrete components) are approximately the same, but their reliabilities are considerably different because of the better reliability of solid state components. 

According to Krowicki et al (Refs la 5), a typical composite pro pint compn consists of a combustible component amounting to (on a wt basis) 10.5%, contg (by wt)... 

This distinction clarifies the surprising differential sensitivity of male and female 7. paraconfusus to components of their pheromone and to that of I. pint. Males and females are equally sensitive to their natural pheromone and to its component, (+ )ipsdienol, over a wide range of concentrations. However, females are significantly more sensitive to pheromonal ( + )ipsdienol than to allomonal (-)ipsdienol (the pheromone of I. pini), whereas males are more sensitive to allomonal (- )ipsdienol than to their own pheromonal (+ )ipsdienol (Light and Birch, 1982). There is a clear adaptive advantage for males to locate new host material quickly and to avoid resources occupied by /. pini, unless nothing else is available, since if the two species do co-colonize a resource, the reproductive potentials of both are reduced. This premium on selection of unoccupied resources underlies the high sensitivity of males to allomonal ipsdienol. The interruption of response in 7. paraconfusus by verbenone from D. brevicomis may have a similar basis. 

Station to ask him to stop the issuing of local milk. Interestingly, the AEA had no legal basis for doing this. The initial ban was applied to 17 farms, but as more samples were analysed, the ban was extended to a coastal strip two miles wide and seven miles long, and then, as further samples were taken, extended further to a total of 200 square miles. Over the course of the milk sampling programme about 3,000 half pint (0.25 1) samples of milk were analysed.
