Divider standard

No conversion required for uncertainty associated with a single value divide standard deviation by -Jn for uncertainty associated with the mean of n values... 

This sum, when divided by the number of data points minus the number of degrees of freedom, approximates the overall variance of errors. It is a measure of the overall fit of the equation to the data. Thus, two different models with the same number of adjustable parameters yield different values for this variance when fit to the same data with the same estimated standard errors in the measured variables. Similarly, the same model, fit to different sets of data, yields different values for the overall variance. The differences in these variances are the basis for many standard statistical tests for model and data comparison. Such statistical tests are discussed in detail by Crow et al. (1960) and Brownlee (1965). 

Furthermore, each sub-category given in Table 6.2 can be divided according to product viscosities, which are classified in the international standard ISO 3448 (French standard NF ISO 3448, index T 60-141). 

In practice, each CSF is a Slater determinant of molecular orbitals, which are divided into three types inactive (doubly occupied), virtual (unoccupied), and active (variable occupancy). The active orbitals are used to build up the various CSFs, and so introduce flexibility into the wave function by including configurations that can describe different situations. Approximate electronic-state wave functions are then provided by the eigenfunctions of the electronic Flamiltonian in the CSF basis. This contrasts to standard FIF theory in which only a single determinant is used, without active orbitals. The use of CSFs, gives the MCSCF wave function a structure that can be interpreted using chemical pictures of electronic configurations [229]. An interpretation in terms of valence bond sti uctures has also been developed, which is very useful for description of a chemical process (see the appendix in [230] and references cited therein). 

The two main ways of data pre-processing are mean-centering and scaling. Mean-centering is a procedure by which one computes the means for each column (variable), and then subtracts them from each element of the column. One can do the same with the rows (i.e., for each object). ScaUng is a a slightly more sophisticated procedure. Let us consider unit-variance scaling. First we calculate the standard deviation of each column, and then we divide each element of the column by the deviation. 

The upper and lower confidence limits for the standard deviation are obtained by dividing (A — 1)U by two entries taken from Table 2.28. The estimate of variance at the 90% confidence limits is for use in the entries Xoo5 X095 (for 5% and 95%) with N degrees of freedom. 

The steps may be so chosen as to correspond to consecutive points on the experimental isotherm. In practice it is more convenient to divide the desorption process into a number of standard steps, either of relative pressure, or of pore radius, which is of course a function of relative pressure. The amount given up during each step i must be converted into a liquid volume i , (by use of the normal liquid density) in some procedures the conversion is deferred to a late stage in the calculation, but conceptually it is preferable to undertake the conversion at the outset. As indicated earlier, the task then becomes (i) to calculate the contribution dv due to thinning of the adsorbed film, and thus obtain the core volume associated with the mean core radius r by the subtraction = t ... 

The standard deviation is calculated by dividing the sum of the squares by - 1, where n is the number of measurements, and taking the square root. 

Precision is a measure of the spread of data about a central value and may be expressed as the range, the standard deviation, or the variance. Precision is commonly divided into two categories repeatability and reproducibility. Repeatability is the precision obtained when all measurements are made by the same analyst during a single period of laboratory work, using the same solutions and equipment. Reproducibility, on the other hand, is the precision obtained under any other set of conditions, including that between analysts, or between laboratory sessions for a single analyst. Since reproducibility includes additional sources of variability, the reproducibility of an analysis can be no better than its repeatability. 

The relative standard deviation for sampling, Sj r, is obtained by dividing equation... 

According to Beer s law, a calibration curve of absorbance versus the concentration of analyte in a series of standard solutions should be a straight line with an intercept of 0 and a slope of ab or eb. In many cases, however, calibration curves are found to be nonlinear (Figure 10.22). Deviations from linearity are divided into three categories fundamental, chemical, and instrumental. 

Here is a short-cut that simplifies the calculation of 5d and 57. Enter the values for Dj into your calculator, and use its built-in functions to find the standard deviation. Divide this result by Vd to obtain Sq. You can use the same approach to calculate 57. 

From the data in Fig. 4.8b, estimate the shift factors required to displace the data at 0 = 0.5 (consider only this point) so that all runs superimpose on the experiment conducted at 128 C at 0 = 0.5. Either a ruler or proportional dividers can be used to measure displacements. Criticize or defend the following proposition Whether a buffered aqueous solution of H2O2 and 1. containing small amounts of S2O3 and starch, appears blue or colorless depends on both the time and the temperature. This standard general chemistry experiment could be used to demonstrate the equivalency of time and temperature. The pertinent reactions for the iodine clock are... 

The thermodynamic ceiling temperature (26) T for a polymerization is computed by dividing the AfTp by the standard entropy of polymerization, The T is the temperature at which monomer and polymer are in equHibrium in their standard states at 25°C (298.15 K) and 101.3... 

The SORT value when divided by the standard conditions oxygen transfer rate (OTR) given for a mechanical aerator yields the oxygen concentration required for treatment.

Blood and urine are most often analyzed for alcohol by headspace gas chromatography (qv) using an internal standard, eg, 1-propanol. Assays are straightforward and lend themselves to automation (see Automated instrumentation). Urine samples are collected as a voided specimen, ie, subjects must void their bladders, wait about 20 minutes, and then provide the urine sample. Voided urine samples provide the most accurate deterrnination of blood alcohol concentrations. Voided urine alcohol concentrations are divided by a factor of 1.3 to determine the equivalent blood alcohol concentration. The 1.3 value is used because urine has approximately one-third more water in it than blood and, at equiUbrium, there is about one-third more alcohol in the urine as in the blood. 

Total basicity is measured by standard acid—base titration techniques. The activity divided by the total basicity should be greater than 90%. If it is not, then the Grignard reagent should be checked for unreacted alkyl or aryl haUde, homo-coupled product, hydrolysis products, and oxidation products. 

Fat Content of Milk. Raw milk as well as many dairy products are routinely analyzed for their fat content. The Babcock test, or one of its modifications, has been a standard direct measure for many years and is being replaced by indirect means, particularly for production operations. The Babcock test employs a bottle with an extended and caHbrated neck, milk plus sulfuric acid [7664-93-9] to digest the protein, and a centrifuge to concentrate the fat into the caHbrated neck. The percentage of fat in the milk is read direcflv from the neck of the bottle with a divider or caHper, rea ding to...

Reactivity is measured by placing a standard quantity, 100 mL, of isopropyl alcohol in a 500- or 1000-mL Dewar flask equipped with a stirrer and a temperature-measuring device. The temperature of the alcohol is adjusted to 30°C. Thirty-six grams of the sample are added and the temperature is observed as a function of time from the addition until a maximum is reached. Reactivity is defined as the temperature rise divided by the time interval to reach this maximum. Other alcohols may also be used for measuring reactivity (30).
