Comparison analysis

For the safety comparison analysis the ISBL of acetic acid process was divided into two steps reaction section (reactor, separator, scrubber) and distillation train. Both steps were handled separately during the analysis. The analysis of the data and the results are presented in the Table 26 for reaction section and in the Table 27 for the distillation train. 

Three methods of analysis—linear regression (Gad, 1999 Steel and Torrie, 1960) a multiple comparison analysis, Dunnett s method (Dunnett, 1955) and a nonparametric analysis, such as Kruskal-Wallis (Gad, 1999)—can all be recommended. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and other methods are not excluded. 

Once data have been appropriately and accurately entered in the system, processed, and stored, they are presumably available for later comparison, analysis, or combination. That presumption is based on the confidence that the system does not in any way corrupt or modify the data, however. Validation requires evidence of continued data integrity. 

Hence, hypothesis testing (ANOVA analysis followed by multiple comparison analysis) was used to determine NOEC and LOEC values expressed as % v/v of effluent. In order to satisfy statistical analysis requirements enabling NOEC and LOEC determinations, some bioassay protocols were adjusted to make sure that there were at least three replicates per effluent concentration and at least five effluent concentrations tested. TC % effluent values were then determined as follows ... 

One example of the increasing acceptance of MS/MS was seen with comparison analysis of specific abnormalities. The classic example occurs with the detection of PKU using two methods, fluorometry and MS/MS. MS/MS was shown to be much more selective than fluorometry and was as clinically...

The next task is to prioritize and select a design by filtering through a number of design concepts to the point where just one is pursued for further development. Two techniques are very helpful in this regard Paired Comparison Analysis and Pugh Matrix. You can also use both of these techniques... 

Use Paired Comparison Analysis when you need to compare either more upstream innovation ideas or more downstream design concepts. This technique is especially helpful when you don t have objective data regarding how different ideas could meet your customers outcome expectations (see Technique 2), or when you re uncertain about how different design concepts could meet customer performance and perception expectations (see Technique 30). 

Part of this technique s advantage is that it s easier to use than such other comparative techniques as the Pugh Matrix (Technique 36). Therefore, Paired Comparison Analysis enables you to quickly but comprehensively assess the relative worth of all your options before committing to any specific one. 

Classically, completing a Paired Comparison Analysis calls for the use of brainstorming techniques to come up with great alternatives. We recommend using any or all of the ideation techniques in this book to move significantly beyond classic brainstorming. If simple brainstorming were sufficient, more teams would come up with more innovations more often than not. But this is not the case. 

You should not eliminate any alternatives at this point. Paired Comparison Analysis is a powerful tool for determining differences between alternatives, even if they seem very similar. 

Based on these figures, the choir theme is the advertising idea seen as most likely to deliver on the market-share goal for the client s new product. Be careful though—the Paired Comparison Analysis technique is used for determining which alternative is best based on only one criterion the operational definition.

Inter-comparison analysis (cross check analysis) with 14 local governments having nuclear facilities and with 33 non-nuclear facilities mentioned below. Management and provision of data for nationwide fallout surveillance and radiation monitoring around nuclear facilities. 

The inter-comparison analysis adopted consists of the sample dividing method and the reference standard sample method . The former method is to divide various environmental samples collected by monitoring laboratories or the hygiene institutes of local government into two parts. One of them is then analysed by such laboratories and the other by JCAC for comparison. The latter method uses reference standard samples which are prepared by JCAC and Japan Isotope Association Corp., by adding appropriate radioactive nuclides to the materials such as aluminum oxide powder or agar. These mock-up samples are analysed by both JCAC and the monitoring laboratories. 

One of the imderlying assumptions of the least squares method is that there is no error in the measurement of the independent variable (the y values). This assumption is often not valid, and one of the most obvious cases of this is found in method-comparison analysis. A typical example of method-comparison analysis involves the comparison of two different instruments, a current production instrument and an improved model. Measurements made on a series of samples with the two instruments, and plotted by using current instrument readings as the x values and new instrument readings as the y values, should ideally result in a straight line of unit slope and zero intercept. The actual slope and intercept of the line can provide estimates of the proportional and constant error between the two methods. 

A quantitative measure of the robustness of an analytical procedure is the different levels of the intermediate precision and their comparison (analysis of variances) (Table 4). Of course, this approach only addresses random effects, which depend on the extent...

In reference design, a reference sample is used for conducting all the direct comparisons. The reference sample can be either a universal reference (such as those sold by Stratagene) or a pooled reference from the samples that will be assayed in the experiment. A pooled reference may provide better performance in a class comparison analysis [23]. A variant of the reference design is the blocked reference design, in which independent references are matched (relative to some relevant factor) to the conditions that one wants to compare and are cohybridized to each respectively. This type of design can be useful in time series experiments and in drug experiments [16, 24]. 

Making comparison between bonds could be difficult and several aspects must be considered. One of these is the bond s maturity. For instance, we know that the yield for a bond that matures in 10 years is not the same compared to the one that matures in 30 years. Therefore, it is important to have a reference yield curve and smooth that for comparison purposes. However, there are other features that affect the bond s comparison such as coupon size and structure, liquidity, embedded options and others. These other features increase the curve fitting and the bond s comparison analysis. In this case, the swap curve represents an objective tool to understand the richness and cheapness in bond market. According to O Kane and Sen (2005), the asset-swap spread is calculated as the difference between the bond s value on the par swap curve and the bond s market value, divided by the sensitivity of 1 bp over the par swap.

Chemical features determined by analysis of elements in human hair are helpful for hair comparisons. Analysis of elements in the hair has been accomplished by instrumental methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry, neutron activation analysis, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). Among them, EDX equipped with scanning electron microscopy is widely used in forensic hair examination because it facilitates easy analysis of elements whilst observing the hair structure. 

Comparison analysis using restructured near-infrared and constituent data (CARNAC) can be used to provide quantitative or discriminant analysis for large databases. In the current version of the technique, CARNAC-D, wavelet transforms are used to reduce the spectral information, and then the spectrum of the sample requiring a particular analyte measurement or discriminant comparison (transformed in the same way) is compared with the calibration database. The sample giving the closest... 

Finally, GC detection of the manufacturing impurities of cocaine can be enhanced by chemical derivatization via the use of an electron-capture detector. In this method, unadulterated cocaine hydrochloride samples were deriva-tized directly in acetonitrile with heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA) the derivatives of the manufacturing impurities were extracted into isooctane. Then the isolated derivatives were subjected to GC-electron capture detection analysis.This methodology is especially suitable for sample comparison analysis.
