Event ambiguity

In any event, ambiguity still remains in the surface coverage of GOx. The protein double layer thus prepared is schematically shown in Figure 13. The catalytic activity of GOx in the double layer was elucidated electrochemically by measuring an amperometric response originating from the oxidation current of H2O2 produced enzymatically in the presence of glucose (Eq. 1), and was found to be still active. 

We can now correlate all events below or above the datum plane by comparing the log response. In many instances correlations are ambiguous. Where two or more correlation... 

Before quantitative evaluation, the events must be coded with an unique ideniitier. A systematic and orderly identification scheme minimizes the possibility of ambiguity or multiple identifier for the same event. 

Fluorescent probes are divided in two categories, i.e., intrinsic and extrinsic probes. Tryptophan is the most widely used intrinsic probe. The absorption spectrum, centered at 280 nm, displays two overlapping absorbance transitions. In contrast, the fluorescence emission spectrum is broad and is characterized by a large Stokes shift, which varies with the polarity of the environment. The fluorescence emission peak is at about 350 nm in water but the peak shifts to about 315 nm in nonpolar media, such as within the hydrophobic core of folded proteins. Vitamin A, located in milk fat globules, may be used as an intrinsic probe to follow, for example, the changes of triglyceride physical state as a function of temperature [20]. Extrinsic probes are used to characterize molecular events when intrinsic fluorophores are absent or are so numerous that the interpretation of the data becomes ambiguous. Extrinsic probes may also be used to obtain additional or complementary information from a specific macromolecular domain or from an oil water interface. 

I fetched the book of prophecies and selected a quill to transcribe this one. As always, it was ambiguous, haunting the borderlands of meaning, but the first line looked like a hint that Zorzi Michiel had returned from exile, or wanted to. The second could be a reference to bounty hunters or the Ten s assassins seeking him out wherever he tried to hide—the risk of discovery in Venice might be no greater. The third and fourth lines, I decided, would have to wait upon events. 

Then and than have very different meanings nonetheless, novice writers often mistakenly use them interchangeably. To communicate without ambiguity, it is important that these two words be used properly. Essentially, you need to memorize which one is which and then use them correctly in your written work. Note that then is used only sparingly in expert scientific writing because the order of events (e.g., first, second, then) is generally implied and does not need to be stated explicitly. 

Many different terms are associated with transients, such as spikes, bumps, power pulses, impulses, and surges. While some of these terms may indeed describe a particular transient, such terms are not recommended due to their ambiguity. We will use the term transient to denote all subcycle events and ascribe certain characteristics to these events, such as overvoltage, notch, noise, and ring. It may be that what we call transient is not as important as remembering that the underlying causes of the various transient events differ, as do the cures for the ill effects produced by the transients. 

The term nanotechnology is sometimes used ambiguously, however. In some cases, it is used simply to describe objects and events with "very small" dimensions, such as a few microns in size. A micron (pm) is a micrometer, or 1 millionth (10 6) of a meter. Unarguably, a micron is a very small dimension a human hair, for example, is about 10 pm in diameter. Still, a micron is 1,000 times as large as a nanometer, and research conducted at the micron level is more accurately known as microtechnology. Studies that involve objects... 

Nevertheless, it was events in Kurdistan in particular which fully illustrated both the ambiguity of what was banned and the absence of verification measures under the Geneva Protocol. Only use of chemical weapons was banned, not possession. In 1972 the United Nations General Assembly had adopted the Convention of the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Biological Weapons. Chemical weapons fell outside this convention and by 1988 it became clear that a chemical weapons treaty was urgently needed to place effective constraints on the proliferation of these weapons worldwide. 

Because food allergy places particular limitations on children s lives and frequently leads to restrictions in a variety of activities, there is the potential for these perceived illness-induced limitations to generalize to disease- unrelated events as children progress along the development pathway. For example, we have evidence of an over-interpretation of ambiguous information in terms of processing of potential threat not directly related to food "you d be worried if you were somewhere new... that you weren t before when other kids see an advert for a circus, they think fun, I think danger."... 

In long-term studies, the CRF may be formatted in sections and used for each visit or group of visits. This helps to decrease the likelihood of ambiguity in recording when an event occurs, as w ell as to help expedite the flow of data inhouse and through data processing. 

PDAs A Model of CPs Without Disorder In PDAs one would expect to have only two processes to consider transport along a really periodic chain, and all similar interchain hopping events. The case of PDAs illustrates the ambiguities of transport studies on CPs. Early time-of-flight experiments yielded mobilities ==5 cm2/V s along the chains, and 10 3 along the perpendicular directions [217]. A mobility of a few cm2/V s is typical of a molecular crystal, and the polymer character was not apparent.
