Curve construction

The distribution curves may be regarded as histograms in which the class intervals (see p. 26) are indefinitely narrow and in which the size distribution follows the normal or log-normal law exactly. The distribution curves constructed from experimental data will deviate more or less widely from the ideal form, partly because the number of particles in the sample is necessarily severely limited, and partly because the postulated distribution... 

The isothermal curves of mechanical properties in Chap. 3 are actually master curves constructed on the basis of the principles described here. Note that the manipulations are formally similar to the superpositioning of isotherms for crystallization in Fig. 4.8b, except that the objective here is to connect rather than superimpose the segments. Figure 4.17 shows a set of stress relaxation moduli measured on polystyrene of molecular weight 1.83 X 10 . These moduli were measured over a relatively narrow range of readily accessible times and over the range of temperatures shown in Fig. 4.17. We shall leave as an assignment the construction of a master curve from these data (Problem 10). 

A range of concentrations of the two substances were inserted in equation (6) and a curve constructed relating retention time of the composite peak (calculated by means of a computer) to mixture composition. The results are shown in Figure 7. 

Does yield stress depend on temperature Probably, not, and flow curves constructed at different temperatures look as is shown in Fig. 7, where the arrow indicates the direction of temperature increase. 

The Si-H bond is a strong IR absorber and this property has frequently been used in quantitative studies44. Figure 14 shows the curve constructed by the use of model compounds 7 and 9. A satisfactory linear relation exists between the absorbance of the Si-H...

Using a newly developed, transversely heated graphite atomizer and D2-back-ground correction (for details see Sections 2.2 and 4.3), Cd, Pb and Cr were determined in cement and river sediment samples. Of the various calibration approaches applied the best results, also in comparison with wet chemical procedures, were achieved with calibration curves constructed by means of different BCR CRMs with different analyte concentrations and usually n = to individual intakes (Nowka and Muller 1997). 

Figure 3 Layout of competitive solid-phase antibody immunoassay format in an incubation step antigen (Ag) and labeled antigen (Ag-L) compete for the solid-phase antibodybinding sites (Ab) after the solid-phase antibodies are washed, the activity of the bound labeled antigen is measured, and a calibration curve constructed. The measured signal is inversely proportional to the antigen concentration.

Thus, the free-electron model is not valid when Eq. (3.7) applies since the wave is reflected. The E,k) curve constructed on this basis is like that obtained from the Kronig-Penney model bands of allowed and forbidden energy regions. 

If the dimers observed to be present in the minor products isolated from the results of enzymatic oligonucleotide hydrolysis are added to the number of dimers formed from poly U, shown in Figure 31, the total number of dimers formed can be estimated and a corresponding growth curve constructed. From the initial slope of this curve and the initial slopes of the curves for DpHp and DpUp in Figure 31, estimates can be made138 for the cross sections of the reactions shown in Chart 7. If... 

How are these potential energy curves constructed That is not a question to be answered in detail in this book. However, let it be said that one needs knowledge of the quantum mechanics of chemical bond formation to do it. Owing partly to the woik by Anderson (1990), there is software that enables one (in hours, not days) to calculate the potential energy quantities needed in particular for the M—H bond strengths at... 

Toxicity studies can also be carried out in vitro and dose-response curves constructed. 

Figure 21-4 Atomic fluorescence from Pb at 405.8 nm. Water containing parts per billion (ppb) of colloidal PbC03 was ejected from a capillary tube and exposed to a 6-ns pulse of 1 064-nm laser radiation focused on the drop. This pulse created a plume of vapor moving toward the laser. After 2.5 xs, the plume was exposed to a 193-nm laser pulse, creating excited Pb atoms whose fluorescence was measured for 0.1 ps with an optical system whose resolution was 0.2 nm. The figure shows a calibration curve constructed from colloidal PbC03 standards and the signal from tap water containing 2 ppb Pb. /From S.K.H0 and N. H. Cheung, Sub-Part-per-Billion Analysis of Aqueous Lead Colloids by ArF Laser Induced Atomic Fluorescence," Anal. Chem. 2005, 77, 193.]...

Draw a smooth curve that best represents all the points, such a curve may not necessarily pass through any of the points This is the sixth guideline given for curve construction on p 65. In all of the figures of this chapter, we have assumed that this has indeed been done Nevertheless, curve drawing is a rather subjective process, prone to many abuses, unless some objective rules are... 

The numerical coefficients have been tabulated [232]. Rate constants are extracted from working curves constructed using these equations and there is reasonable agreement between experiment and theory [233]. The range of measurable rate constants is very similar to that at the RRDE. 

Solution. Important assumptions include that the interfacial free energy is isotropic, that elastic strain energy is unimportant, and that the nucleation rates mentioned are for steady-state nucleation. The critical barrier to nucleation, AQe, can be calculated for the 0.3 atomic fraction B alloy using the tangent-to-curve construction on the curves in Fig. 19.18b to provide the value Aga = —9 x 107 Jm-3 for the chemical driving force for this supersaturation at 800 K. AQc is given for a spherical critical nucleus by... 

Finally, use the free-energy density vs. composition curves and work the tangent-to-curve construction in reverse. Using the result that Aga = —12 x 107Jm-3, the corresponding tangent to the a-phase curve will be at about 33 at. % B.
