In general for the C20 series, maximal activity is achieved with amides of arachidonic acid (1) [81], mead acid (199) [149], and dihomo-y-linoleic acid (200) [150] (see Table 6.18). Decreasing the unsaturation (201), (202), or abolishment of the n-pentyl chain (203) [150] led to less active or inactive compounds. Variable results were seen with longer chains. The C22 4 n-6 analogue (204) is as active as AEA (1) whereas the C22 6 n-3 analogue (205) is less active than the C20 5 n-3 analogue (203) [150]. Replacement of the double bonds with triple bonds (206) resulted in loss of activity [150] (see Table 6.18). Forcing the fatty acid chain into a hairpin conformation by cyclisation (207) also resulted in inactive compounds [151].

Liquid ingredient weighing can be an area of considerable problem when accuracy of addition is vital and dispensing equipment, fitted with heaters where required are very necessary to reduce compound variability. 

In systems where such radicals appear (alcohols, amines, some unsaturated compounds), variable-valence metal ions manifest themselves as catalysts for chain termination (see Refs. [150,151] and Chapter 16). 

When two variables are multiplied together, we call them a compound variable. 

We often call a collection of variables a compound variable. ... 

So the compound variable A//(system) — T AS(syAem) must be negative if a process is spontaneous. 

This compound variable occurs so often in chemistry that we will give it a symbol of its own G, which we call the Gibbs function. Accordingly, a spontaneous process in a system is characterized by saying,...

Statistical Evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed on a Mini 6 Bull computer. The program package used was SPAD, Systeme Portable pour l Analyse des Donnees (15). Data from the chemical analyses were evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) of correlation matrices. PCA was carried out in order to show clearly the association between chemical classes, or compounds (variables), and the isolates studied (individuals). Statistical analysis was also made on the basis of reduced chemical data, by calculating RV coefficients for single variables (17, 18). The number of variables, i.e. chemical compounds in this study, was reduced since only chemical compounds with the highest RV values were selected as representatives of the chemical group. 

In a small randomized study, 40 women undergoing elective cesarean section received either diamorphine 300 micrograms or 0.9% saline as part of a standard spinal anesthesia (38). Intrathecal diamorphine may contribute to the delay in gastric emptying that occurs immediately after elective spinal cesarean section. This is relevant within the context of other possible compounding variables that might delay the reintroduction of a solid diet postoperatively.

The values determined for the inherent flaws only represent effective sizes, corresponding to a given degree of stress concentration (Greensmith, 1964). This stress concentration also depends on the shape of a crack (e.g., bluntness), as well as the dissipative capacity of the material itself (Hamed et al., 1996). Although compounding variables such as crosslink density strongly affect the... 

Wear Resistance The ability to resist the abrasion action of a rubbing surface is a feature of most rubbers and the actual removal of rubber particles from the surface is a complex process. However, compounding variables which affect the resistance of rubbers to abrasion are well known and compound modifications to suit operating conditions is an established technique. Soft resilient compounds are more resistant to abrasion induced by particle impact as in grit blasting while stiffer compounds have greater resistance to scuffing.

Cembrola has compared resistivity measurements to cut-surface roughness [34]. He pointed out that the surface roughness measurements relate to undispersed agglomerates, whereas resistivity is a measure of microdispersion at dimensions well below those of the agglomerates. However, assesssment of dispersion quality on the basis of conductivity measurements cannot be used universally. This is because of the fact that compounding variables, heat history, and other factors in addition to dispersion quality can greatly effect electrical conductivity. Nevertheless, under properly controlled conditions, measurements of electrical conductivity can be used to assess dispersion quality.

In systems where such radicals appear (alcohols, amines, some unsaturated compounds), variable-valence metal ions manifests themselves as catalysts for chain termination (see Chapter 11). The reaction of the ions with peroxyl radicals appears also in the composition of the oxidation products, especially at the early stages of oxidation. For example, the only primary oxidation product of cyclohexane autooxidation is hydroperoxide the other products, in particular, alcohol and ketone, appear later as the decomposition products of hydroperoxide. In the presence of stearates of such metals as cobalt, iron, and manganese, all three products (ROOH, ROH, and ketone) appear immediately with the beginning of oxidation and in the initial period (when ROOH decomposition is insignificant), they are formed in parallel with a constant rate. The ratio of rates of their formation is determined by the catalyst. The reason for this behavior is evidently related to the fast reaction of R02 with the catalyst. Thus, the reaction of peroxyl radicals widi variable-valence ions manifests itself in the kinetics as well (the induction period appears imder certain conditions), and alcohol and ketone are formed in parallel with ROOH from R02 among the oxidation products. 

The importance of compounding variables is secondary to polymer type where permeability is concerned, but, in general, permeability decreases with increased filler loading and increases with increased plasticiser loading.
