Counting process

Straathof included 134 industrial-scale biotransformations, counting processes on a scale of > 100 kg with whole cells or enzymes starting from a precursor other than a C-source. Among the highlights of this review were the facts that ...

A fourth solution is the internal standard method. In this procedure, a sample is counted that is known to have solubility or pointquenching problems (e.g., aqueous samples, insoluble materials embedded in paper or cellulose derivative filters, etc.). A known amount of isotope (labeled) is added to the sample (i.e., to the fluid or dried paper) and the counting process is repeated. Evaluation of the counting efficiency of the added isotope (the internal standard) allows determination of the counting efficiency of the original sample. (NOTE Alternatively, the internal standard method may employ addition of internal standard to one pair of duplicate samples). 

Is based on a lattice model that uses various approximations in the "counting " process. 

Table 13.3 includes fusion products and neutron (and a few proton) activation products with half-lives no less than 12 hours. High detection limits, in the 10-1000 xBq/m range, are mostly that high because the limits apply to the middle of the sampling period which in these cases is many half-lives before the counting process.

In an atom, any charge that is present may easily be determined by the difference between the number of electrons that are accommodated in the orbitals around it and the number of protons within the nucleus. The matter is more complicated for molecules, because there are two or more nuclei to consider. Yet in principle, the same counting process is involved. 

The best possible fit to the N data points, which is the answer required, must be such that the overall error is a minimum. The statistics of radioactive counting processes [80] tell us that the values of Yi will be distributed as a Poisson distribution with a variance equal to the mean, and hence the standard deviation in is y/ F. The quantity to be minimised for a best fit is... 

Figure 2.3 demonstrates the Poisson distribution for X values of 1 and 5, that is, the distributions for the cases that on average 1 event or 5 events are observed, respectively. The breadth of curves, also determined by X, is only dependent on the total number of events or the counting rate. The higher the counting rate, the larger will be the variance or standard deviation of the counting process. For x = n events, the variance = n, or for the standard deviation, the Poisson distribution becomes... 

Number of stock outs Evaluates the MRO inventory/materials management process capability to have the on-hand quantities needed for stock items that are normally stocked in the maintenance storeroom. Provides an excellent countermeasure to ensure planned inventory reduction goal is not detrimental to storeroom customer service. Does not measure nonstock items that require requisitioning/purchasing as direct purchases or availability of project-related items. Percent inventory accuracy Maintains accurate fiscal accountability of stocked items to ensure total confidence in current inventory levels and dollar value of MRO inventories. Measures the effectiveness of the cycle-counting process and storeroom control.

Liquid scintillation counters use two photomultiplier tubes with a coincidence circuit that prevents counting of events seen by only one of the tubes. In this way, false counts due to chemiluminescence and noise in the phototube are greatly reduced. Quenching is a problem in all liquid scintillation counters. Quenching is any process which reduces the efficiency of the scintillation counting process, where efficiency is defined as... 

Such a process N t) is called a renewal or counting process. The particle position X t) is called a continuous-time random walk. Figure 3.1 illustrates the process X it). It should be noted that the CTRW X (t) defined by (3.24) can also be obtained by replacing the discrete time n in (3.10) with the random time Al((), i.e..
