Evaluation effective

Creating a strong system that constitutes a passive design requires a complete knowledge and characterization of the potential overpressure scenarios. This requires knowledge of the chemistry outside the design conditions to evaluate effects of loss of utilities and the loss of control systems. 

Evaluate Effectiveness on the Basis of Outputs and Acceptance Once the system has been implemented on its chosen site, its effectiveness needs to be evaluated at frequent intervals so that corrective action can be taken in the event of problems. The first criterion for success is that the system must generate unique insights into the causes of errors and accidents, which would not otherwise have been apparent. Second, the system must demonstrate a capability to specify remedial strategies that, in the long term, lead to enhanced safety, environmental impact and plant losses. Finally, the system must be owned by the workforce to the extent that its value is accepted and it demonstrates its capability to be self-sustaining.

Obviously, for it to be worthwhile, the product must also do some good. Hence, the principle of efficacy or effectiveness has become another cornerstone in achieving the goal of regulation. To evaluate effectiveness you must also consider the purpose of the product as expressed in either an indications for use statement in the case of drugs, or intended use statement in the case of medical devices. As discussed in Section 1.6, and later in Sections 9.3 and 9.4, intended use statements are also vital in determining how some products are regulated in the first place, which in turn dictates the level of scrutiny to which they may be subjected.

Dr. G. A. LeBlanc of North Carolina State University is evaluating effects of potentially endocrine-disrupting chemicals, including endosulfan, on steroid hormone biotransformation/elimination processes in daphnids, fish, and mice, and is constructing models of the processes. The work is being funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 

Evaluate effectiveness of diuretic therapy with regard to ascitic fluid accumulation and development of peripheral edema. Ask the patient directed questions about abdominal girth, fullness, tenderness, and pain. Weigh the patient at each visit, and ask the patient to keep a weight diary. Assess for peripheral edema at each visit. 

It is important to carefully document core ADHD symptoms at baseline to provide a reference point from which to evaluate effectiveness of treatment. Improvement in individualized patient outcomes are desired, such as (1) family and social relationships, (2) disruptive behavior, (3) completing required tasks, (4) self-motivation, (5) appearance, and (6) self-esteem. It is very important to elicit evaluations of the patient s behavior from family, school, and social environments in order to assess the preceding. Using standardized rating scales (e.g., Conners Rating Scales-Revised, Brown Attention-Deficit Disorder Scale, and IOWA Conners Scale) in both children and adults with ADHD helps to minimize variability in evaluation.29 After initiation of therapy, evaluations should be done every 2 to 4 weeks to determine efficacy of treatment, height, weight, pulse, and blood pressure. Physical examination or liver function tests may be used to monitor for adverse effects.

Methods of variance analysis are helpful tools to evaluate effects of factors on the results of experiments afterwards. On the other hand, it may be advantageous to plan experiments in a comparative way (comparative experiments). 

The last equation has been used by numerous investigators to evaluate effective thermal conductivities from experimental data. Figure 12.18 reproduced from Froment (94) indicates the... 

In the canonical partition function of (5.1), we have for simplicity ignored combinatorial prefactors. Free energy perturbation theory [12] relies on evaluating effectively the ratio of the partition functions to obtain the free energy difference between the initial and final states corresponding to coupling parameters A = 1 and 0 (see also Chap. 2),... 

To allow the uncertainty to be evaluated effectively, a model equation describing the method of analysis is required. The starting point is the equation used to calculate the final result. Intially, we will need to consider the uncertainties associated with the parameters that appear in this equation. It may be necessary to add terms to this equation (i.e. expand the model) to include other parameters that may influence the final result and therefore contribute to the measurement uncertainty. 

With the abundance of wash process signals mentioned here it is fair to say that this information can only be evaluated effectively with a fully electronic program control. From the actual wash requirements and the information registered, an optimal process sequence is worked out and then set automatically, taking into account important parameters such as wash and spin speeds, program duration, water levels and number of rinses. 

The most common adverse effects are dizziness, headache, constipation, and nausea. Ranolazine should be started at 500 mg twice daily and increased to 1,000 mg twice daily if needed based on symptoms. Baseline and followup ECGs should be obtained to evaluate effects on the QT interval. 

Effects. For each identified failure mode, the PrHA team should describe the anticipated effects of the failure on the overall system or process. The key to performing a consistent FMEA is to assure that all equipment failures are analyzed using a common basis. Typically, analysts evaluate effects on a worst-case basis, assuming that existing safety levels do not work. However, more optimistic assumptions may be satisfactory as long as all equipment failure modes are analyzed on the same basis. 

The information on the DP of the polymers had not been evaluated effectively by the original authors because they suspected that the degradation of the polymers by the radiation would make it unreliable. Nevertheless, in the present work it is shown that the DP evidence supports this writer s fundamental theoretical views regarding the reaction mechanism. 

Experimental evidence obtained from Swiss lakes were compared with model simulations so as to evaluate effects that coagulation can have in lakes. In the course of this study special attention was directed towards the chemical factors that influence colloidal stability in natural waters.

Single-dose toxicity studies fall into two categories preliminary and definitive studies. Preliminary studies are performed to provide an estimate of the maximum nonlethal dosage (MNLD) for use in definitive studies. Definitive studies are performed to evaluate effects that may result from acute exposure to the MNLD and predict effects of overdosage in man. 

Prostate cancer evaluation/Effects on PSA Finasteride causes a decrease in serum PSA levels in patients with BPH even in the presence of prostate cancer. Consider this reduction when evaluating PSA laboratory data it does not suggest a beneficial effect of finasteride on prostate cancer. In controlled clinical trials, finasteride did not appear to alter the rate of prostate cancer detection.

Isolation is the separation of newly received animals from those already in the facility until the health of the newly received animals has been evaluated. Effective isolation minimizes the introduction of disease-causing agents into established animal colonies. It also allows time for the expression of clinical signs of disease, which will permit culling of animals before they are placed on study. 

LSD was among the psychochemicals tested at Edgewood, but its effects were not within the purview of the National Research Council s evaluations. Effects of LSD on 741 soldiers tested at Edgewood are described in a report by the U.S. Army Medical Department and the U.S. Army Health Services Command, issued in February 1980.2... 

But specifically this area is the waste heat of the cycle, not the energy dissipated. It is difficult to determine an exact expression for energy dissipated because thermal stresses are left behind in the material, even after the shock pressure has been relieved. Therefore, a precise calculation of the true energy dissipation in a decaying shock must account for hard-to-evaluate effects of thermally induced after-flow in the material. In practice we settle for the waste heat approximation ... 

Coumarin was one of a series of chemicals used in an assessment of the predictability of two in-vitro assays for mammalian teratogenesis. The assays were the human epithelial palatal mesenchymal (HEPM) cell assay, which evaluates effects on proliferative potential, and the mouse ovarian tumour (MOT) cell assay, which evaluates... 

Current quality system models call for audits to be conducted at planned intervals to evaluate effective implementation and maintenance of the quality system and to determine if processes and products meet established parameters and specifications. International standards provide guidance on auditing [13]. Audit procedures should be developed and documented to ensure that the planned audit schedule takes into account the relative risks of the various quality system activities. Factors that can be incorporated into a risk-based approach to planning audit frequency and scope include the following [6] ...

Instead, less traditional measures called surrogate endpoints are used to evaluate effectiveness. These are laboratory findings or signs that may not be a direct measurement of how a patient feels, functions, or survives, but are considered likely to predict benefit. For example, a surrogate endpoint could be the lowering of HIV blood levels for short periods of time with anti-retroviral drugs.
