Compression of data

Examples of these are shown for the saturation data in Figure 4.2. At first glance, these transformations may seem like ideal methods to analyze saturation data. However, transformation of binding data is not generally recommended. This is because transformed plots can distort experimental uncertainty, produce compression of data,... 

There are instances where data are compared to models that predict linear relationships between ordinates and abscissae. Before the widespread availability of computer programs allowing nonlinear fitting techniques, linearizing data was a common practice because it yielded simple algebraic functions and calculations. However, as noted in discussions of Scatchard analysis (Chapter 4) and double reciprocal analysis (Chapter 5), such procedures produce compression of data points, abnormal emphasis on certain data points, and other unwanted aberrations of data. For these reasons, nonlinear curve fitting is...

There are few possible strategies of library compression. Each of them has its own advantages and drawbacks. The most efficient method of data set compression, i.e. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), leads to use of global features. As demonstrated in [15] global features such as PCs (or Fourier coefficients) are not best suited for a calibration or classification purposes. Often, quite small, well-localized differences between objects determine the very possibility of their proper classification. For this reason wavelet transforms seem to be promising tools for compression of data sets which are meant to be further processed. However, even if we limit ourselves only to wavelet transforms, still the problem of an approach optimally selected for a particular purpose remains. There is no single method, which fulfills all requirements associated with a spectral library s compression at once. Here we present comparison of different methods in a systematic way. The approaches A1-A4 above were applied to library compression using 21 filters (9 filters from the Daubechies family, 5 Coiflets and 7 Symmlets, denoted, respectively as filters Nos. 2-10, 11-15 and 16-22). 

The raw analytical data are stored in the source file (cf. Figure 7.1). Elimination of unimportant data, filtering, transformations, or compression of data leads to a library file, which is archived. The library files of an analytical database consist of a header and a collection of data blocks. The header contains information about the file organization, as well as control parameters. Stored in the data block are different sets of data that contain information about the analytical data, such as spectra, and about chemical structures and additional remarks.

Compression of data [4] such as bits in a computer file, can be performed by condensation of entropy to a minimal number of high entropy bits, which are then used as a compressed file.

Many data on the compressibility of solids obtained prior to 1926 are contained in Gnmeisen, Handhuch der Physik, vol. 10, Springer, Berlin, 1926, pp. 1-52 also avadahle as translation, NASA RE 2-18-59W, 1959. See also Tables 271, 273, 276, 278, and other material in Smithsonian Physical Tables, 9th ed., 1954. For a review of high-pressure work to 1946, see Bridgman, Reo. Mod. Ph /5., 18, 1 (1946). 

The terms on the right-hand sides of these equations depend only on the upper limit Pr of the integrals and on the reduced temperature at which they are evaluated. Thus, values of In ( ) and HVRTc may be determined once and for all at any reduced temperature and pressure from generalized compressibility factor data. 

The historical data is sampled at user-specified intervals. A typical process plant contains a large number of data points, but it is not feasible to store data for all points at all times. The user determines if a data point should be included in the list of archive points. Most systems provide archive-point menu displays. The operators are able to add or delete data points to the archive point hsts. The samphng periods are normally some multiples of their base scan frequencies. However, some systems allow historical data samphng of arbitraiy intei vals. This is necessaiy when intermediate virtual data points that do not have the scan frequency attribute are involved. The archive point lists are continuously scanned bv the historical database software. On-line databases are polled for data. The times of data retrieval are recorded with the data ootained. To consei ve storage space, different data compression techniques are employed by various manufacturers.

The experimental procedure and method of treatment of compression-permeability data have been explained by Grace [Chem. Eng. Prog., 49, 303, 427 (1953)], who showed that the values of a measured in such a cell and in a pressure filter were the same, and by Tiller [Filtr Sep., 12, 386 (1975)]. 

An example of research in the micromechanics of shock compression of solids is the study of rate-dependent plasticity and its relationship to crystal structure, crystal orientation, and the fundamental unit of plasticity, the dislocation. The majority of data on high-rate plastic flow in shock-compressed solids is in the form of ... 

Dick et al. [29] present additional data on the <100) shock compression of LiF which further establishes a threshold shear stress of between 0.24 GPa and 0.30 GPa for nucleation of dislocations in the shock front. 

The generalized compressibility charts may be used with values obtained in the use of Equations 2.7 and 2.8 to determine the compressibility of a wide range of gases. The charts were derived from experimental data and are a good source of information for use in compressor calculations [1].
