Conditioning Properties

A true material comparison is possible only when property values are determined by identical test methods under identical conditions (1). Generally speaking, physical and electrical properties of plastics and electrical insulating materials are affected by temperature and humidity. Plastic materials tested above room temperature will yield relatively higher impact strength and lower tensile strength and modulus. High humidity tends to alter the electrical property test results. Obviously, in order to make reliable comparisons of different materials and test results obtained by different laboratories, it is necessary to establish standard conditions of temperature and humidity. 

Conditioning is defined as the process of subjecting a material to a stipulated influence or combination of influences for a stipulated period of time (2). Three basic reasons for conditioning specimens are  

To bring the material into equilibrium with normal or average room conditions 

To obtain reproducible results regardless of previous history or exposure 

To subject the material to abnormal conditions of temperature and humidity in order to predict its service behavior

Steam and calcium hydroxide is formed. If the cooling water tends to form acid ia the boiler, either caustic or phosphate may be added to counteract the effect. When the cooling water tends to form base, only phosphate treatment is appropriate. Many dmm boilers that are operated on AVT have provision for phosphate or caustic treatment duriag condenser leaks because the amines used ia AVT have neither significant bufferiag capacity nor precipitate conditioning properties ia the boiler. 

Variational calculus, Dreyfus (1962), may be employed to obtain a set of differential equations with certain boundary condition properties, known as the Euler-Lagrange equations. The maximum principle of Pontryagin (1962) can also be applied to provide the same boundary conditions by using a Hamiltonian function. 

In a patent survey [76] about shampoos over the period 1968-1978 the so-called cryptoanionic alkyl ether carboxylate based on tridecyl alcohol with 6.5 mol EO has been mentioned for a conditioning shampoo in combination with an amphoteric and cationic surfactant [77]. Because of the low interference with cationic surfactants no negative effect on the conditioning properties has been found [78].

Using TGA, a correlation was established between the rates of crosslinking and decomposition of azodicarbonamide blowing agent in expanded EVA preparation. The relationship between processing conditions, properties and structure of cured EVA foams was also examined. 11 refs. 

Most of the laboratory development work for this technology on mix design, formulations, processing conditions, property determination and durability evaluation has been completed. In addition, conceptual design and optimization of process conditions for a semi-commercial hydraulic block machine have been worked out.

Another way by which drugs can abnormally affect behavior is by their influence on the acquisition of conditioned properties by associated stimuli. 

Compared with APCI, APPI is more sensitive to the experimental conditions. Properties of solvents, additives, dopants or buffer components can strongly influence the selectivity or sensitivity of the detection of analytes. Nevertheless, this technique allows the ionization of compounds not detectable in APCI or ESI, mainly non-polar compounds. For these last compounds, APPI is a valuable alternative. Thus, APPI is a complementary technique to APCI and ESI. However, for a given substance it remains difficult to predict which ionization source (APPI, APCI or ESI) will give the best results. Only preliminary tests will allow the choice of the best ionization source. APPI appears to be efficient for some compound classes such as flavonoids, steroids, drugs and their metabolites, pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, etc. [85],... 

Aside from conclusions specific to this physical system, we note that analysis of conditional properties achieves a strikingly simphfied view of this statistical problem. 

IKr and IKs, also appears to have rate-independent effects that are maintained under ischemic or hypoxic conditions, properties of potential clinical significance (98).
