Cut points for

Product Distributions. All of the tests with California gas oil were made at a recycle cut point of 550°F, arbitrarily chosen and not necessarily an optimum cut point for operation with any of the catalysts. 

Statistical process control methods are applied to preparative chromatography for the case where cut points for the effluent fractions are determined by on-line species-specific detection (e.g., analytical chromatography). A simple, practical method is developed to maximize the yield of a desired component while maintaining a required level of product purity in the presence of measurement error and external disturbances. Relations are developed for determining tuning parameters such as the regulatory system gain.

The conversion of 850°F+ residual SRC to lighter product was determined for several balance periods in which recoveries varied between 98.5 and 100.4 wt %. The distillations were run at a slower rate than for the filtrate studies in order to sharpen the 850°F cut point for better data reproducibility. Product distributions are shown in Figure 7. 

Screening assays are designed for optimal sensitivity to avoid false negatives. For new proteins defining an absolute sensitivity is impossible because of lack of positive sera. An alternative approach is to set the cut point for the assay at the 5% false positive level using a panel of normal human sera and/or untreated patient sera representative of the groups to be treated.

Dyslipoproteinemia is diagnosed in most patients using plasma lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Dyslipoproteinemias have previously been defined in terms of arbitrarily defined cut points for lipids and lipoprotein, but are now based on the relationship between fipoprotein levels and the risk for CHD (see discussion later in this chapter).

(a) First component of a 3 1 mixture, (b) Second component of a 1 3 mixture, (c) First component of a 1 3 mixture, (d) Second component of a 3 1 mixture. The position of the vertical line indicates the cut point for production of the corresponding component at 95% piuity.

The use of cell line standards to reduce HER-2/neu assay variation in multiple European cancer centers and the potential of automated image analysis to provide for more accurate cut points for predicting clinical response to trastuzumab.

Occasionally, naive samples are encountered with preexisting or high levels of ADAs. If a confirmatory test shows that the ADA response is specific to the drug, such samples should be excluded from the cut point calculations. In addition, samples that are identified as outliers using appropriate statistical criteria [34] should also be excluded or down weighted in the analyses. If a substantial number of naive samples are positive from the relevant disease population, it is acceptable to include samples from a healthy or non-diseased population for determining the cut point. For example, if the distribution of the data of outlier-removed samples is not statistically different between healthy and disease-matched subjects (i.e., means and variances are not significantly different), then the cut point evaluation can be made from a collection of samples where half the samples are from healthy subjects and the other half are from the relevant disease population. 

The stressed samples were analyzed by two techniques, both based on gas chromatography. In the first, the solution with internal standard was injected into a 10 ft, 1/8 inch o.d., 5% OV-101 column which was programmed to 260°C at 12°/min after a 5.0 min initial hold at 60°C. The JP-5 cut was integrated as a single sum and compared to the internal standard to determine the yield of JP-5 from the pyrolysis experiment. The initial gc cut point for the JP-5 was set midway between n-octane and n-nonane and the final point midway between n-hexadecane and n-heptadecane. The gc baseline did not rise during this portion of the analysis, hence reliable integration was obtained. 

In a recent report, Sanchez-Muniz and Bastida (2001) demonstrated that the two cut points for polar compounds and TAG polymers are not correlated in the same manner in various oils. Certain compounds defined and determined as polar, such as acylated glycerols, are not necessarily products of alterations due to heating. On the other hand, the polymers formed are of some toxicological concern and express more precisely the level of changes in the heated oil. The authors stressed the need to unify criteria in the different countries and propose a single upper limit of 10%... 

Diabetes is a disease characterised by abnormal glucose metabolism, a risk of developing microvas-cular complications specific to diabetes and a markedly increased risk of developing macrovas-cular complications. Consequently, aU three elements have been used in trying to define diagnostic thresholds or cut points for diabetes. 

What is the cut point for the power price in competing with TG-1001 condensing path if the fuel price is maintained the same as 4/MMBtu/h This could be an interesting question. Since at the cut point of power price, the power generation from the condensing path equals the power import. Thus, the condition for the cut point can be expressed as... 

A viscous suspension contains particles of a solid of 1461 kg/m density, and is to be clarified by centrifugation. The liquid has a density of 801 kg/m and a viscosity of 100 cp. A clarifying centrifuge with bowl 44.5 diameter and 197 mm height is used. During operation an annular air core of 14.23 mm diameter is formed. Calculate the cut point for a capacity of 169.92 L/h, when the centrifuge runs at 23,000 rpm speed.
