Expectations for future

Calculate the critical difference [Rcl For any group of duplicate analyses that are considered similar to each other, their ranges [K ] and means l ] can be used to estimate R. A similar Rq would be expected for future duplicate analyses at similar concentration levels [C]. 

The RMSEP characterizes both the accuracy and precision errors expected for future predictions. 

The time required to complete the above described calibration procedure varies depending on the application. A critical factor in developing a robust calibration model is to incorporate all sources of spectral variance expected for future samples. The calibration procedure creates a model where the analyte-dependent signal is orthogonal to all nonanalyte-dependent sources of spectral variance. Significant time... 

In conclusion, the final view expressed by the independent experts was that they were favourably impressed by the progress that has been made with the current EFR design, and they consider that it provides a sound basis from which to proceed to licensing application in each of the participating countries . There is no doubt that EFR can achieve levels of safety comparable with those expected for future PWRs. 

It would also be of interest to investigate if the attenuation estimates can be further improved by extending our input data vectors. Since attenuation (and porosity) is spatially correlated, we should expect improvements when including data from A-.scans in a neighbourhood around the point of interest. This is also a topic for future work. 

The first point to remark is that methods that are to be incorporated in MD, and thus require frequent updates, must be both accurate and efficient. It is likely that only semi-empirical and density functional (DFT) methods are suitable for embedding. Semi-empirical methods include MO (molecular orbital) [90] and valence-bond methods [89], both being dependent on suitable parametrizations that can be validated by high-level ab initio QM. The quality of DFT has improved recently by refinements of the exchange density functional to such an extent that its accuracy rivals that of the best ab initio calculations [91]. DFT is quite suitable for embedding into a classical environment [92]. Therefore DFT is expected to have the best potential for future incorporation in embedded QM/MD. 

Appllca.tlons. The principal appHcations of nickel-base superalloys are in gas turbines, where they are utilized as blades, disks, and sheet metal parts. Abcraft gas turbines utilized in both commercial and military service depend upon superalloys for parts exposed to peak metal temperatures in excess of 1000°C. Typical gas turbine engines produced in the United States in 1990 utilized nickel and cobalt-base superalloys for 46% of total engine weight (41). However, programs for future aerospace propulsion systems emphasize the need for lightweight materials having greater heat resistance. For such apphcations, intermetallics matrix composites and ceramic composites are expected to be needed. 

The relevance of photonics technology is best measured by its omnipresence. Semiconductor lasers, for example, are found in compact disk players, CD-ROM drives, and bar code scaimers, as well as in data communication systems such as telephone systems. Compound semiconductor-based LEDs utilized in multicolor displays, automobile indicators, and most recendy in traffic lights represent an even bigger market, with approximately 1 biUion in aimual sales. The trend to faster and smaller systems with lower power requirements and lower loss has led toward the development of optical communication and computing systems and thus rapid technological advancement in photonics systems is expected for the future. In this section, compound semiconductor photonics technology is reviewed with a focus on three primary photonic devices LEDs, laser diodes, and detectors. Overviews of other important compound semiconductor-based photonic devices can be found in References 75—78. 

The reduction ia tetraethyl lead for gasoline production is expected to iacrease the demand for petroleum alkylate both ia the U.S. and abroad. Alkylate producers have a choice of either a hydrofluoric acid or sulfuric acid process. Both processes are widely used. However, concerns over the safety or potential regulation of hydrofluoric acid seem likely to convince more refiners to use the sulfuric acid process for future alkylate capacity. 

At this stage of manufacture, chocolate may be stored for future use in bulk Hquid form if usage is expected to be within one to two weeks, or at 43—50°C in a hot water jacketed agitated tank or in soHd block form where it can be stored for as long as 6 to 12 months. Blocks typically weigh between 3 and 30 kg. Storage conditions for block chocolate should be cool and dry, ie, 7 to 18°C and 40 to 45% relative humidity. If chocolate has been stored in block form, it can be remelted to temperatures up to 50°C and then processed in the same manner as freshly made Hquid chocolate. 

After a satisfactory verification film is produced, an assembly may be fabricated specifically for destructive inspection to validate that the verification film was accurate. This correlation allows the use of verification film rather than more expensive destructive inspection for future changes such as duplicate tool fabrication and tool or detail modification. Simple assemblies are usually not destructively inspected because of high confidence that the verification film is entirely representative of the expected bondlines. Complex or large parts may not be destructively inspected because of the cost of the details and assembly time. In these cases other means of validating the verification film are used. Meticulous pre-bond detail and post-bond assembly thickness measurements may be sufficient to prove bondline thickness control. Ultrasonic inspection and X-ray photography (discussed previously) may be sufficient to prove that details are in the correct places and bonds are good. 

With an estimated 400 years of coal available for future power generation, coal-powered steam turbines are expected to continue to dominate global electricity fuel markets. 

Many current multidimensional methods are based on instruments that combine measurements of several luminescence variables and present a multiparameter data set. The challenge of analyzing such complex data has stimulated the application of special mathematical methods (80-85) that are made practical only with the aid of computers. It is to be expected that future analytical strategies will rely heavily on computerized pattern recognition methods (79, 86) applied to libraries of standardized multidimensional spectra, a development that will require that published luminescence spectra be routinely corrected for instrumental artifacts. Warner et al, (84) have discussed the multiparameter nature of luminescence measurements in detail and list fourteen different parameters that can be combined in various combinations for simultaneous measurement, thereby maximizing luminescence selectivity with multidimensional measurements. Table II is adapted from their paper with the inclusion of a few additional parameters. 

Throughout the book, the person in charge of day-to-day operations is referred to as the laboratory operator. This is not an administrator or supervisor located in an office down the hall or in another building. The laboratory operator must be heavily involved in all aspects of planning. Only he can estimate space requirements, check a proposed layout for practical and safe operation, and recommend allowances for future expansion. Regardless of the amount of professional assistance available, the laboratory operator can expect to burn much midnight oil. During construction he must be available at all times to take care of those numerous problems nobody had predicted. 

Elsewhere, it was found that errors by physicians and others is often not reported to patients, and surprisingly, 23% of physicians and 11% of patients in one study did not feel that physicians should report such errors to patients.15 Clinicians in the future will be expected to interact more, and more effectively, with patients. These expectations for improved interaction with patients will help both clinicians and patients to reach their therapeutic goals. The authors of the chapters in this text have worked through patient care problems that are commonly seen in practice, and the reader will benefit by using similar tactics to help their patients. 

Various techniques have been introduced which still lack specific applications in polymer/additive analysis, but which may reasonably be expected to lead to significant contributions in the future. Examples are LC-QToFMS, LC-multi-API-MS, GC-ToFMS, Raman spectroscopy (to a minor extent), etc. Expectations for DIP-ToFMS [132], PTV-GC-ToFMS [133] and ASE are high. The advantages of SFC [134,135], on-line multidimensional chromatographic techniques [136,137] and laser-based methods for polymer/additive analysis appear to be more distant. Table 10.33 lists some innovative polymer/additive analysis protocols. As in all endeavours, the introduction of new technology needs a champion. 

We began our analysis in Section II and ended it in Section VC2 by making the connection of the time- and energy-domain approaches to both coherence spectroscopy and coherent control. It is appropriate to remark in closing that new experimental approaches that combine time- and energy-domain techniques are currently being developed to provide new insights into the channel phase problem. We expect that these will open further avenues for future research.
