Differentiation index

Differentiation indices, or D-values, are obtained on the basis of Pearson s product momentum correlation coeflicient between two spectra yj and y2 . 

In eqn (Bl), n is the total number of data points the IR spectra and yi and denote the average absorbance values. Furthermore, yjj and are the i-th absorbance values of spectrum 1 or 2, respectively. The correlation coefficients are transformed to D-values by eqn (B2)

Since the Flory-Huggins theory provides us with an analytical expression for AG , in Eq. (8.44), it is not difficult to carry out the differentiations indicated above to consider the critical point for miscibility in terms of the Flory-Huggins model. While not difficult, the mathematical manipulations do take up too much space to include them in detail. Accordingly, we indicate only some intermediate points in the derivation. We begin by recalling that (bAGj Ibn ) j -A/ii, so by differentiating Eq. (8.44) with respect to either Ni or N2, we obtain... 

The theory of fractionation will be discussed in Chapter XIII. It is sufficient to observe here that polymer fractionation depends on the tenuous differentiation indicated above. In order to make the most of it, the ratio of the volumes of the supernatant and precipitated phases should be as large as possible the ratio should be at least ten and... 

The subscripts L and V denote that differentiation is performed at constant length and volume. To carry out the differentiation indicated in Equation (59), an expression for the total tensile force / is needed. One may use the expression given by Equation (28) for the phantom network model. Applying the right-hand side of Equation (59) to Equation (28) leads to...

Determining whether a particular subtype of patient responds differentially to a given drug is an empirical question. Despite the lack of clear differential indications, clinicians continue to encounter patients who respond to one antipsychotic but not another. It is also possible that patients maintained on the original agent may have done equally well. Some patients may preferentially improve on a particular drug due to differences in ...

All filter banks should be provided with pressure differential indication gauges to indicate the filter dust loading. 

A plot of this equation has the shape shown by all but the lower two curves in Fig. S. Differentiating indicates that there is a minimum at... 

Activation of multiple signal-transduction pathways by many receptors allows different sets of genes to be Independently controlled by the same or different receptors. Occasionally these pathways can induce opposite effects. For example, genetic manipulation of the Ras-MAP kinase and PT3 kinase pathways during muscle differentiation indicates that these pathways have opposite phenotypic effects activation of the Ras-MAP kinase pathway inhibits myocyte differentiation into myotubes, whereas activation of the PT3 kinase pathway promotes it. 

Since only the quantities A/, (Eq. 11.40) are obtained, and not the function MiE), the differentiation indicated by Eq. 11.43 must be performed numerically. There are several computer codes that perform such differentiation. 

The DTA and DSC techniques are both concerned with the measurement of energy changes in a material. The word differential indicates that the measurement involves a sample as well as a reference, and the twin-type design is... 

For the orderly functioning of the system it is most important that the pressure differentials indicated are maintained. Since the power of a closed gas turbine cycle is regulated by means of a pressure change in the main circuit, it is necessary to regulate the pressures in the auxiliaiy circuits accordingly in order ensure the appropriate sealing function. The provided system has proven its orderly function without any operational problems. 

Figures 5.30 and 5.31 give temperature and composition profiles in the two columns. Notice that the temperature in the condenser of the high-pressure column is 407 K and the condenser heat duty is 5.86MW (see Fig. 5.28). The temperature in the base of the low-pressure column is 345 K and the reboiler duty is 14.77 MW. This 62 K temperature differential indicates that these two columns could be heat-integrated the condenser of the high-pressure column serving as a reboUer in the low-pressure column. Since the heat duties are not equal, an additional steam-heated reboiler would be needed in the low-pressure column. An example of heat integration is presented in Section 5.4.

The linear relationship between flux and vapor pressure differential indicates that mass transfer through the membrane was directly dependent on vapor pressure differential and concentration polarization effects are not changing with increases in flux. 

The alterations in morphological organization of the brain resulting from hypothyroidism have been documented [10-13]. Numerous biochemical parameters are affected by altered thyroid states (for review see 14-16). Recent biochemical data on the effect of thyroid hormones on nerve cell differentiation indicate that they regulate microtubule assembly by changing the concentration and/or the activity of MAPS (tau fraction) [17]. The critical period of effectiveness of thyroid hormones in brain maturation raises a special problem. The correct organization of... 

Thus, taking G = G(P, T, A) and writing the total differential indicates that the final term in Equation (2.21) corresponds to... 

In the first step of HCA, a distance matrix is calculated that contains the complete set of interspectral distances. The distance matrix is symmetric along its diagonal and has the dimension nxn, with n as the number of patterns. Spectral distance can be obtained in different ways depending on how the similarity of two patterns is calculated. Popular distance measures are Euclidean distances, including the city-block distance (Manhattan block distance), Mahalanobis distance, and so-called differentiation indices (D-values, see also Appendix B) .
