Entities, defined

In what follows, conventional matrix notation is strictly employed as in A = [a,j] wherein the scalar subscripts always denote the row and column indices, respectively, and all matrix entities defined here are denoted by boldface notation. Section 3 of this handbook, Mathematics, provides an especially convenient reference for introductory matrix algebra and matrix computations. 

Concerning the entities defined above (each entity together with its attributes) we introduce here the notion of basic devices with various types of connections. 

Impurity, any entity of the drug substance (bulk material) or drug product (final container product) that is not the chemical entity defined as the drug substance, an excipient, or other additives to the drug product. 

The current classification system for non-Hodgkin s lymphoma is the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms and World Health Organization (REAL-WHO) classification system, which is based on the principle that a classification is a list of specific disease entities defined by a combination of morphology, immunophe-notype, genetic features, and clinical features. 

In 1996, the DHHS passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to facilitate the sharing of information while protecting patient confidentiality (medical records) subsequently, associated privacy regulations were issued in 2000 (Privacy Rule). Amendments to the Privacy Rule were proposed on March 27, 2002, to address research-related situations, and become effective on April 14, 2003. In essence, the Privacy Rule is the governing law for the use and disclosure of individually identifiable protected health information (PHI) by covered entities, defined as health care providers, health plans, or health clearing houses. HIPAA-compliant consents that include elements specified in federal regulations (45 CFR 164.508) will have to be provided by covered entities that carry out the activities of health care payment, treatment, or operations (PTO). Clinical research-related uses and/or disclosures of PHI beyond PTO will require that a specifically defined authorization be obtained from a research subject. HIPAA-compliant authorizations will have to include the following core elements ... 

Following the Gibbs approach, we will show the vacancy solution theory developed by Suwanayuen and Danner in 1980. Basically in this approach the system is assumed to consist of two solutions. One is the gas phase and the other is the adsorbed phase. The difference between these two phases is the density. One is denser than the other. In the context of this theory, the vacancy solution is composed of adsorbates and vacancies. The latter is an imaginary entity defined as a vacuum space which can be regarded as the solvent of the system. 

EAST-ADL supports determination and modeling of FSRs by safety cases. The derivation of FSRs is not supported [16]. In EAST-ADL-2.0, the relation between an item and its containing elements or systems is depicted by a composition between the class item definition, which is interpreted as a collection of entities defining the item that the safety case is valid for (i.e. a "system"), and the abstract class ADLEntity [18]. More precise statements about specializations of ADLEntity are not provided.

The energy and entropy, which are related in this equation to the molecular partition function, are statistical entities, defined by particles which do not interact except to maintain the equilibrium conditions. To obtain similar relationships for real systems, it is necessary to apply statistical mechanics to the calculation of the thermodynamic entities, which correspond to the molar quantities of particles, or that is N approaches 1 this treatment it is convenient to use the canonical ensemble already discussed and presented in Figure n.l. This ensemble consists of a very large number of systems, N, each containing 1 mol of molecules and separated from the others by diathermic walls, which allow heat conduction but do not allow particles to pass. The set of all the systans is isolated from the outside and has a fixed energy E, which is the energy of the canonical ensemble. 

In this sense, an assessments of risk is an interpretive device that is used to do epistemic work. Risks are conceptual constructs, constructed for the purpose of directing attention, focusing resources and organising action - akin to Smith s (1988, p. 1492) definition of problems as "conceptual entities defined as a way of allocating attention to unsatisfactory aspects of reality that one hopes to improve through action". 

References are not allowed to entities defined within the scope of another entity. Consequently, entities which need to be "shared" (multiply referenced) by a number of scoped entities, need to be defined within a scope common to all these entities. 

The DIRECTION entity defines the x-, y-, and z-components of a direction vector. For two-dimensional directions the z-component is implied to be zero. The direction vector in the reference schema is normalized. On the neutral file, however, the direction vector needs not to be normalized. The receiving system has to derive the normalized direction vector from the data received on the file by the following algorithm ... 

The LINE is a geometrical entity defined as an elementary straight line going through the specified point with the specified direction. The point may be defined locally or be represented by a reference to a point entity. The same applies to the direction. The line, as all elementary curves, has an implied curve parameter. The parameterisation is ... 

The TRIMMED CURVE entity defines a section out of the definition range of the elementary curve referenced. The curve is to be evaluated between the parameter values starting at parameter 1 and going to parameter 2. 

This entity defines a curve as the intersection of the two referenced surfaces, curve is the three-dimensional curve representation. curve s1 and curve s2 are representations in the two-dimensional parametric space of the surfacel and surface2 respectively. 

A B REP is an entity that has a scope. A B REP may have a material property associated with it. The B REP is a self-contained entity in the sense that no entity in the B REP may refer to an entity outside the scope of the B REP. All referenced entities must be within the B REP scope itself. The scope of a B REP contains both topological and geometrical entities. Geometry is represented by lists of the entities POINT, DIRECTION, EDGE CURVE and FACE SURFACE which are referenced by the topological entities defined subsequently. Topology is represented by lists of the entities, VERTEX, EDGE, LOOP, FACE and SHELL in that order so that no entity is referenced before it is defined. 

A shell is a topological entity defined within the scope of a B REP. It is defined by a list of references to its bounding faces. The order of the list is arbitrary but the faces must be connected and form a continuous surface which divides the three-dimensional space into two distinct regions. 

An EDGE is a topological entity defined within the scope of a B REP. It...
