Conformance with standards

The successful and profitable control of frozen food quality requires workable standards of product quality and condition and suitable methods for determining the degree of product conformance with standards. The frozen fruit and vegetable industry has developed rapidly during the past 20 years and serious concentration upon the development of adequate standards and objective methods for quality measurement is necessary. Such standards and methods should be placed on a uniform basis the country over and given official and legal status. 

Working with Markov chains, confusion is bound to arise if the indices of the Markov matrix are handled without care. As stated lucidly in an excellent elementary textbook devoted to finite mathematics,24 transition probability matrices must obey the constraints of a stochastic matrix. Namely that they have to be square, each element has to be non-negative, and the sum of each column must be unity. In this respect, and in order to conform with standard rules vector-matrix multiplication, it is preferable to interpret the probability / , as the probability of transition from state. v, to state s (this interpretation stipulates the standard Pp format instead of the pTP format, the latter convenient for the alternative 5 —> Sjinterpretation in defining p ), 5,6... 

The two stretching modes are called V and v3 here in order to conform with standard notation (Herzberg, 1950 v2 is the bending mode). Several other cases have been analyzed. Typical root-mean-square deviations for the lowest-order Hamiltonian of Eq. (4.28) are < 5 cm-1 up to the sixth overtone. For example, the calculation of water of Table 4.1 has a root-mean-square deviation of 4.0 cm. In addition to providing a calculation of stretching overtones, one is also able to determine, in a simple way, the nature of the spectrum. If one compares, for example, water, H20, with sulfur dioxide, S02, one observes the situation of Table 4.2. Thus S02 is much closer to the normal limit than H20. We shall... 

Figure 3. A comparison of two methods of producing starting conformations. With standard option -1, the conformations are generated from the preceding structure. With our -2 option, all conformations within a run are generated from the same, single starting point.

Readers need to have confidence in the safety case s claims. Whilst evidence of historical operation, conformance with standards and well-managed CRM workshops are non-specific controls they can add up to a rounded and convincing story. 

Railroad systems that are designed for in-plant c eration and that intersect or form part of the main line are to conform with standards and inactices of the main-line railroad or appropriate authority. Road, paving, and railroad dimensions and clearances should be in accordance with the minimum dimensions shown in Eichibit 2-3. 

In conformity with standard practice, we deal with molar quantities, replacing ks with the gas constant R. It is also appropriate to set Lao = = Ab, so that the mole fractions of components A...
