Effects of Other Factors

In the previous examples, the feed characterizing correlations in Chapter 2 are used to determine composition of the feedstock. The results show that the feedstock is predominantly paraffinic (i.e., 61.6% paraffins. 19.9% naphthenes, and 18.5% aromatics). Paraffinic feedstocks normally yield the most gasoline with the least octane. This confirms the relatively high FCC gasoline yield and low octane observed in the test run. This is the kind of information that should be included in the report. Of course, the effects of other factors, such as catalyst and operating parameters, will also affect the yield structure and will be discussed. 

It should be noted that the effects of blood lead on IQ and other neurobehavioral scores are very small compared with the effects of other factors such as parent s IQ or vocabulary (Fulton et al. 1987 Pocock et al. 1987 Winneke et al. 1985a). Lead neurotoxicity, however, may have major implications for public health when exposure is considered in terms of large populations and its preventable nature (Davis and Svendsgaard 1987 Grant and Davis 1989). 

The main parameters determining the indoor radon concentration in detached houses are the effective radium concentration (product of the radium concentration and the emanation factor) and the permeability of the ground. The effects of other factors are not so easy to ascertain from the existing data. 

The next four parameters represent check clearings on previous days P.j = 0.114 (91.983%), p 3 = 0.250 (99.961%), p = 0.051 (51.856%), and p.j = 0.183 (97.838%). In view of Figure 10.11, the effects of the two- and three-day lags are as expected, but it is perhaps surprising that the four-day lag has such low relative importance and that the five-day lag has such high importance. Frequently, however, the presence of certain factor effects in a model (in this case, P, and p, for example) can change the apparent single-factor effects of other factors (P 2-P 5 in this example). This phenomenon is discussed in more detail in Section 15.3. 

John Hunter noted in 1792 that blood resisted putrefaction for a longer period if serum was present, that is another bactericidal factor complemented the effect of other factors. It was later identified and called complement. 

Once the desorption efficiency is determined, the effects of other factors can be examined by laboratory experimentation and field validation. 

Effect of other factors on cellulose. Dry distillation at a temperature above 150°C causes cellulose to produce compounds of low molecular weight, such as water, methane, ethylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and acetone. According to Pictet [49] dry distillation under reduced pressure yields a substance having the empirical formula C6H10Oj, laevo-glucosan which probably is /3-D-glucopyranose anhydride ... 

More studies are necessary to elucidate the effect of other factors, such as the type of binder, the type of filler, and the solubility of the matrix, which may significantly affect the effectiveness of disintegrants in different modes of incorporation. For example, Becker, Rigassi, and Bauer-Brandl found that extragranular crospovidone was more effective in an acetaminophen tablet when the binder was maltodextrin (Licab DSH ), pregelatinized maize starch (Lycab PGS ), or low... 

The residual activities for the commercially used catalysts are tabulated in Table 2 together with some physical property data enabling comparison with those for fresh catalysts to weigh the effects of other factors besides sulfur poisoning on activity. 

If the aim is to make a fair comparison of the effect of other factors (e. g. different solvents), then it is desirable to produce reaction mixtures of defined water activity. For this purpose, it is best if the two phases mentioned are separately preequilibrated to the target water activity before eventually combining them to start the reaction. In principle it is possible for the water activity to change somewhat from the pre-equilibrated value as components redistribute between the two phases. However, in practice such changes are small if the two phases noted are chosen. Another option is to pre-equilibrate the biocatalyst particles suspended in a non-aqueous fluid, and to add one final reactant at time zero. This reactant should be one added at fairly low concentration to prevent significant changes in water activity. These two options are illustrated in Fig. 8-4.

Desorption Efficiency. The desorption efficiency is the most significant of the factors in defining the sorption-solvent desorption system. Once the desorption efficiency is determined, the effects of other factors can be examined by laboratory experimentation and field confirmation. 

The detection of elevated predation risk can occur via input from any sensory channel, but in aquatic environments, the primary medium for the majority of crustaceans, chemical cues are of particular importance (Rittschof 1992 Chivers and Smith 1998 Wisenden 2000 Moore and Crimaldi 2004). In this review, I will examine some aspects of the use of chemical cues that indicate elevated predation risk to crustaceans. I will consider the benefits of behavioral patterns shown, the sources of odors, the types of responses shown, the effects of other factors on the responses to chemical cues, and the role of past experience in the utilization of cues.
