Burden

The whole knowledge acquisition process is also a burden for the inspection company, especially a smaller one, as it prevents the expert from taking part in routine inspection tasks. 

In many cases, the methods used to solve identification problems are based on an iterative minimization of some performance criterion measuring the dissimilarity between the experimental and the synthetic data (generated by the current estimate of the direct model). In our case, direct quantitative comparison of two Bscan images at the pixels level is a very difficult task and involves the solution of a very difficult optimization problem, which can be also ill-behaved. Moreover, it would lead to a tremendous amount of computational burden. Segmented Bscan images may be used as concentrated representations of the useful... 

Since any DAC is defined by its coordinates P (Ai,S ) and the instrument sensitivity Gg f (reference gain) during DAC recording, any recalculation of the curve including the consideration of individual corrections (transfer loss, sound attenuation, etc.) is an easy task for modern PC based flaw detectors and does no longer burden the operator. 

In this paper, we discuss semi-implicit/implicit integration methods for highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. Such systems arise, for example, in molecular dynamics [1] and in the finite dimensional truncation of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. Classical discretization methods, such as the Verlet method [19], require step-sizes k smaller than the period e of the fast oscillations. Then these methods find pointwise accurate approximate solutions. But the time-step restriction implies an enormous computational burden. Furthermore, in many cases the high-frequency responses are of little or no interest. Consequently, various researchers have considered the use of scini-implicit/implicit methods, e.g. [6, 11, 9, 16, 18, 12, 13, 8, 17, 3]. 

The maximum permissible body burden for ingested polonium is only 0.03 microcuries, which represents a particle weighing only 6.8 x IO-12 g. Weight for weight it is about 2.5 x lOii times as toxic as hydrocyanic acid. The maximum allowable concentration for soluble polonium compounds in air is about 2 x lO-ii microcuries/cnu. 

If one would ask a chemist not burdened with any knowledge about the peculiar thermodynamics that characterise hydrophobic hydration, what would happen upon transfer of a nonpolar molecule from the gas phase to water, he or she would probably predict that this process is entropy driven and enthalpically highly unfavourable. This opinion, he or she wo ild support with the suggestion that in order to create room for the nonpolar solute in the aqueous solution, hydrogen bonds between water molecules would have to be sacrificed. 

The 1990 price of anhydrous HCl was about 330/t the 1993 price of 20° Bh (31.4% HCl) was about 73/t (77). Prices depend on plant location, transportation burden, and on-site demand. These factors all influence the selling price significantly, sometimes carrying zero or negative value. 

Melting (fusion) 2one and final reduction of wustite the and CO rise through the burden, contact wustite [17125-56-3] formed from previous reduction reactions in the upper part of the furnace, and reduce it to iron. 

At the top of the furnace, the raw materials are charged into the furnace through a pressurized gas seal system, typically a double beU (see Fig. 6a). For very high pressure furnaces, three bells may be used. More recently, the Paul Wurth beU-less top has become popular, as its rotating chute design permits greater control over distribution of the burden (Fig. 6b). 

DRI, in peUet/lump or HBI form, can be added to the blast furnace burden to increase furnace productivity and reduce coke requirements. It can be used for short-term increases in blast furnace output when a faciUty is short of hot metal during times of high steel demand, or when one of several blast furnaces is down for a reline. It also can be justified if the increased output is sufficient to allow operation of fewer blast furnaces long-term. 

Many companies use worker—management teams, suggestion boxes, consultant surveys, suppHer training sessions, and other methods to reduce risk of injuries (see Hazard analysis and risk assessment). The principal regulatory burden falls on wastes and discharges which leave the plant (3,53,54).
