Reference distribution

Initial moisture distribution refers to the moisture distribution throughout a sohd at the start of diying. 

Two important terms used to describe additives in polymeric mixtures are distribution and "dispersion . When mixing polymers with additives, we want to create a system in which the additive is both well distributed and dispersed. Distribution refers to the even placement of the additive throughout the polymer. For example, a well made batch of chocolate chip cookies has good distribution of the chips if every bite has a chocolate chip in it. A poorly distributed cookie would have all its chips on one side. Dispersion, on the other hand, refers to the separation of the individual components of a solid additive into its smallest parts. Figure 10.6 illustrates both good and bad distribution and dispersion. 

If the relative velocity is sufficiently low, the fluid streamlines can follow the contour of the body almost completely all the way around (this is called creeping flow). For this case, the microscopic momentum balance equations in spherical coordinates for the two-dimensional flow [vr(r, 0), v0(r, 0)] of a Newtonian fluid were solved by Stokes for the distribution of pressure and the local stress components. These equations can then be integrated over the surface of the sphere to determine the total drag acting on the sphere, two-thirds of which results from viscous drag and one-third from the non-uniform pressure distribution (refered to as form drag). The result can be expressed in dimensionless form as a theoretical expression for the drag coefficient ...

If the assessment endpoint is a distribution, or a statistic from a distribution (e.g., 95th percentile), it is essential to be clear how the distribution is interpreted (Suter 1998, p 129). If it is a frequency distribution, to what statistical population does the distribution refer For example, does the distribution represent a population of individuals, an assemblage of species, a number of locations treated with pesticides, or a series of time periods The answer to this question has substantial implications for the structure of the assessment model and the types of data required. 

Similarly, with the same type of photocatalyst (Pt/TiC>2 or Fe2C>3) the decomposition of levulinic (4-oxopentanoic) acid in oxygen-free aqueous solution has been investigated in detail (60). In addition to the decarboxylation reaction, oxidative C-C scissions led to propionic and acetic acids (further converted into methane and ethane) and reductive cleavages to acetone and ethanal. The formation of acetone was apparently favoured by higher Pt contents (however product distributions referred to equal illumination durations and not to equal conversions). It was suggested that the variety of products resulted from the presence of two functional groups in levulinic acid. The quantum yield was probably of the order of 5 x IQ-3. 

Particle size distribution refers to the distribution of particles in the soil matrix. In general, the three types of soil are sand, clay, and loam. Sand is soil composed of at least 70% sand clay is soil consisting of at least 35% clay and loam soil contains equal weights of sand, clay, and silt. Particular size or soil texture can affect the treatability of contaminated soil in two ways. The potential reaction sites are primarily limited to the surface of particles. The surface-to-volume ratio has a major impact on the nature and rate of reactions between the particle and the contaminant therefore, larger sandsized particles are less reactive than smaller clay-sized particles, particularly if reactions may occur between the sheets of clay minerals. 

Based on total DNA content the E. coli genome could code for 3000 to 4000 individual proteins (14), and a total of perhaps 1500 have been visualized by two-dimensional electrophoresis during different growth conditions (15,16). Further, the proteins produced vary with the growth phase of the cell and the composition of the growth medium (6,15,16). These numbers are larger and the potential distribution more complex for mammalian host cell systems. From this complex mixture a process specific subset will be enriched, and therefore the distribution reference impurities must be refined to represent that population. 

Distribution refers to the reversible transfer of drug from one location to another within the body [2], Distribution of drugs to and from blood and other tissues occurs at various rates and to various extents. Several factors are responsible for the... 

The term dispersion refers to how well the pigments are wetted out in the plastic matrix (see below), whereas distribution refers to the uniformity of color in the part. Finally, in referring to the parts fabrication process, the term molder is used below to represent any the following pieces of equipment injection molding machine, injection or extrusion blow molding machine, or rotational molding machine. 

Epidemiology The study of the distribution and determination of health-related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to control of the health problems. Distribution refers to analysis by time, place and classes of persons affected (Last, 2001). 

That said, Linux is a nifty idea. The theory behind it is to make core operating system code available to anyone who wants it, so that the code can then be explored and enhanced by users. Those who choose to can even create a full Unix-type OS from the Linux source code, modify it as they see fit, and release it to the world as a Linux distribution. Distributions are similar to versions, but where versions are chronological enhancements to a single company s OS, distributions are variations on a single OS theme. For a list of Linux distributions, refer to WWW. 1 inux. org/dist/engl i sh. html.

The IFCC also defines other terms related to the concept of reference values reference population, reference sample group, reference distribution, reference limit, and reference interval. Some of these terms are introduced in later sections of this chapter.
