Distribution Lambda

It was more difficult for experts to agree on the reliability for submarine power cables. Hence it was decided to look at chi square quantiles as discussed in Section 3.3. Instead of generating chi square distributed lambdas in the simulation, sensitivities were run for different quantiles, where the lowest and highest values used were the 5% and 95% quantiles, respectively. 

The numerator is a random normally distributed variable whose precision may be estimated as V(N) the percent of its error is f (N)/N = f (N). For example, if a certain type of component has had 100 failures, there is a 10% error in the estimated failure rate if there is no uncertainty in the denominator. Estimating the error bounds by this method has two weaknesses 1) the approximate mathematics, and the case of no failures, for which the estimated probability is zero which is absurd. A better way is to use the chi-squared estimator (equation 2,5.3.1) for failure per time or the F-number estimator (equation 2.5.3.2) for failure per demand. (See Lambda Chapter 12 ),... 

To run Lambda go to the directory containing the distribution files and type "Lambda." A banner announces the program. The next screen explains the program that does several calculations (Figure 12.5-1). 

Lambda (A), however, is not restricted to integer values. Since A represents the mean value of the data, and in fact is equal to both the mean and the variance of the distribution, there is no reason this mean value has to be restricted to integer values, even though the data itself is. We have already used this property of the Poisson distribution in plotting the curves in Figure 49-20b. 

Thermal distributions of NO(u 2, J, A Ej,) states were observed, wherein the population in any level was determined by the internal energy and the parameter Tr. and independent of spin-orbit state or lambda doublet species. This is in contrast to the rotational rainbows, the propensities for preferential population in the Il(A ) lambda doublet species and the Fj spin orbit state which were observed in direct inelastic scattering of NO/Ag(l 11). 

The rotational population distributions were Boltzmann in nature, characterized by 7Ji = 640 35 K. This seems substantially lower than yet somewhat larger than the temperature associated with the translational degree of freedom. The lambda doublet species were statistically populated. The population ratio of i =l/t =0 was roughly 0.09, consistent with a vibrational temperature Ty— 1120 35K. The same rotational and spin-orbit distributions were obtained for molecules desorbed in t = 1 as for f = 0 levels. Finally, there was no dependence in the J-state distributions on desorption angle. 

The expert system package is designed to operate on a LISP machine interfaced with a conventional distributed control system. The design assumes that up to 20,000 measurement points and alarms may be accessed. The Lambda machine from LMI was utilized. The realtime data interface is via an integral Multibus connected to a computer gateway in the distributed system. 

The molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution were calculated based on monodispersed polystyrene standards. The FTIR spectra were recorded on a Nicolet 20 SXB FTIR spectrometer. A Perkin-Elmer Lambda 6 UVA is spectrophotometer was used to record the UVATS spectra. Thermal analyses were perform using die DSC-10 and TGA-50 systems from TA Instruments. Elemental analyses were performed by Adantic Microlab, Inc. A Metricon Model 2010 prism coupler was used to measure the refractive indices of the polyimides. A He-Ne laser (632.8 hm) and two diode lasers (780 nm and 1300 nm) were used as die light sources. 

A KrF excimer laser (Lambda Physik LEXTRA 200, 248 nm, 30 ns fwhm) or a XeF excimer laser (ibid., 351 nm, 30 ns fwhm) was used as an excitation pulse for inducing expansion/contraction dynamics. The fluence was adjusted with partially transmitting laser mirrors, and was monitored shot-by-shot by a photodiode whose output was corrected with a joulemeter (Gentec, ED-200) with an oscilloscope (Hewlett-Packard, HP54522A). A c tral area of the excimer laser pattern with a homogeneous intensity distribution was chosen with an appropriate aperture and then focused onto the sample surface by using a quartz lens (f = 200 mm). Fresh surface of the sample film was used in every measurement. Etch depth was measured by a surface depth profiler (Sloan, Dektak 3). All experiments were done in air at room temperature.

Polymer characterization. The polymers were characterized by M. Wt. and LCST. M. Wt. was estimated by Size Exclusion Chromatography. N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) polymers or Poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO) (Waters Corporation, MA) were used as standards. An FPLC system (Pharmacia) connected to a refractometer was used. A Superose 6 HR 10/30 column (Pharmacia) and 0.05 M Tris buffer, pH 8.0, 0.5 M NaCl as eluent or an ultrahydrogel 2000 column (Waters Corporation, MA) and 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl as eluent, were used. A flow rate of 0.4 ml/min was used. The M. Wts. and M. Wt. distributions were obtained relative to standard M. Wt. HPMA or PEO. The LCST of the polymers was determined by cloud point measurement. The polymer solutions (1% w/v) were prepared in 20 mM glycine/HCI buffer, pH 2.0, 0.15 M NaCl and 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl. The temperature of the solutions was raised horn 10 C to 80 C in 2 C increments every 5 min and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 7 UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The LCST was defined as the temperature at the inflection point in the absorbance versus temperature curve.
