Design Goals

Small size, ruggedness, simple cabling and the ability to operate the equipment under adverse conditions in the field has also been design goals. The system should also conform with the regulations necessary for the CE-marking (i. e. standards and directives for EMC, Electrical Safety and Machine Safety). 

The following sections cover the design goals, decisions, and outcomes of the first two major versions of NAMD and present directions for future development. It is assumed that the reader has been exposed to the basics of molecular dynamics [2, 3, 4] and parallel computing [5]. Additional information on NAMD is available electronically [6]. 

NAMD 2 added several new design goals. First, parallel performance needed to be increased through more parallelism and better load balancing. Second, communication efficiency needed to be improved without adding application-... 

The typical design goals for the ripple voltage are about five to eight percent of the peak rectified input ac voltage for ac off-line converters and about 0.1 to 0.5 volts peak-to-peak in dc-dc converters. The value of the bulk input capacitor can be found by... 

Ventilation quantities Compare outdoor air quantities to the building design goal and local and State building codes and make adjustments as necessary. It is also informative to see how your ventilation rate compares to ASHRAE 62-1989, because that guideline was developed with the goal of preventing lAQ problems.

The initial design goals for resist performance were chosen to satisfy predicted production needs for XRL ( , 2) several of the most critical criteria are summarized below. 

These have been the design goals in our development of the W1 and W2 (Weizmann-1 and Weizmann-2) theories [1],... 

Results using W1 and W2 theories are shown in Table 2.1. For W2 theory we find a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 0.23 kcal/mol, which further drops to 0.18 kcal/mol when the NO, O2, and F2 molecules are deleted (all of which have mild nondynamical correlation in common). Our largest deviation is 0.70 kcal/mol. We can hence state that W2 meets our design goals. 

At the time of the studies described, and up to the present, a vapor sensing system with sensitivity adequate to routinely discover the vapor signature from buried landmines has not been fielded in quantity. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the concentrations that may be expected, so that system developers may form realistic design goals. Jenkins and his colleagues estimated the air concentrations, for one kind of soil and two types of mines, as shown in Table 4.5 [8], The quantity Ks/a is equivalent to the K previously defined. It was calculated as the ratio of soil residue to vapor concentration in their experimental samples. 

Small-molecule inhibitors of caspases would have obvious use as therapeutics. The current medicinal chemistry research literature is rich in studies attempting to achieve this important design goal. In early work, both reversible and irreversible peptide-based inhibitors of various caspases have been developed. Peptidomimetic ketones were also devised for example, acyloxymethyl ketones were designed and developed as potent, time-dependent irreversible caspase inhibitors.

Operators of the Tokyo demonstration plant have concluded that phosphoric acid fuel cell technology is ready for commercialization. The project demonstrated that (I) fuel cells can be sited in urban areas which are regulated by strict environmental constraints (2) performance and operational characteristics were very close to design goals and (3) utility personnel can efficiently operate and maintain fuel cell plant equipment with minimal additional training. As a consequence of the demonstration plant success, a new 11 -MW power plant will be developed and marketed. A comparison of the new 1 C 23 Unit with the 4,5 MW demonstration plant is given in Table 4. 

For linear, time-invariant systems a complete characterization is given by the impulse or complex frequency response [Papoulis, 1977], With perceptual interpretation of this characterization one can determine the audio quality of the system under test. If the design goal of the system under test is to be transparent (no audible differences between input and output) then quality evaluation is simple and brakes down to the...
