Method The authors use information on all non-hospital sales of pharmaceutical products in 1992 in a sample of countries consisting of the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the UK. The database was provided by Intercontinental Medical Systems (IMS). The empirical analysis is based on the calculation of the Paasche and Laspeyres price indexes and the ratio between them. The descriptive analysis is completed with the econometric analysis (quasi-hedonic model) of the determining factors of the variation in the relative prices of each active ingredient in each country taking the USA as the point of comparison.

The usefulness of a given cell line will depend on which differentiated or neoplastic endpoints the cells express and/or whether the cell line is long-lived or immortal. Assessment of whether a cell line expresses specific metabolic or functional endpoints generally requires empirical analysis. The development of transformed/immortalized epithelial cell systems has been particularly significant, since these cells are responsible for 85-90% of all cancers and they often manifest a broad range of specialized functions in addition to their neoplastic phenotype [13, 16, 22-34],... 

The remainder of this section will review operating parameters that affect MCFC performance. Supporting data will be presented as well as equations derived from empirical analysis. 

Empirical Analysis uses reference standards to establish an empirical calibration line (Piorek Rhodes 1988) and can be useful for samples where all major elements present cannot be analyzed. The standards should be matrix-matched and contain a range of element concentrations bracketing the desired level of quantification.

Command-and-control regulation is a rather blunt instrument for achieving an efficient level of public exposure. Its primary defect is its inability to allow emissions to vary across emitters in proportion to their marginal costs of abatement. That inability raises the cost of any specific level of ambient exposure reduction. Empirical analysis of regulatory decisions suggests that agencies are sensitive to the costs and benefits of risk reduction but demand far more reducfion in public exposure risks than individuals require for private risks.

Empirical analysis of wave motion, fluid velocities. and stress can be made to enable vessel size, configuration and baffle system to be optimized. Analysis of the data Is made by direct visual observation of the fluid motion In the vessel, and computer plotting of wave profiles, fluid velocities, etc. 

Paper refers to the contents of the title paper in Vol. 25, N. 5, of May 1972, and presents an empirical analysis of a number of carefully conducted tests in cooling towers of the vertical, counter-flow type. In order to put cooling tower performance on a common basis the area to height factor is introduced. Parameters examined by Dr. Whillier are reexamined and use is made of the area to height factor to predict cooling tower performance. 

Figure 13.. Comparison of theoretical analysis and empirical NMR imaging of fluid flow during extrusion. Limiting cases for theoretical analysis (a), the velocity profile as a function of position with no pressure gradient in the z-direction (b), the velocity profile as a function of position with no net flow through the extruder. Limiting cases for empirical analysis by NMR flow imaging (c), no pressure gradient in the z-direction (die open) (d), no net flow through the extruder (die closed).[Reproduced with permission from Ref.61].

Chromatography, on alumina, fractionated Louisiana cuticle cane wax (scraped from the stalk surface) into three groups free acids, free alcohols and other substances (esters, ketones, hydrocarbons).77 Slight to almost complete hydrolysis occurred during the formation of these chromatograms. Identification of the individual components of the fractions was not completed. An empirical analysis of Louisiana cuticle cane wax is presented in Table I.
