Experience, performance-influencing factors

Diffusion NMR experiments performed by Newkome et al. show that the diffusion coefficients - and hence the hydrodynamic radii - can yield information about the influence of external factors (e.g. pH values) on the size and shape of dissolved dendrimers [26]. Since the spatial structure of a dendrimer in solution... 

Results from statistically designed experiments that identify factors that influence the filling and in vitro release performance of model active ingredients. 

The factors for the three contributions mentioned above are estimated on the basis of experience. The calculation is performed using a computer program [5], This makes the decision easy and fast. In this case the type A estimation on the basis of the results and the type B estimation of the influence factors are combined. An example is given in Table 4 in a compressed form. 

Tables 1 to 3 show the conditional probabilities for the nodes of the Bayesian network presented in Fig. 3. Note that level 0 represents an inadequate condition, while level 1 represents an adequate condition. It must be noticed that is in these tables that the dependence among the performance shaping factor will be approached, i.e., how, probabilistically, for example, skills and experience make influence in operator s capacity.

In the first generation of HRA methods, human failure was seen and investigated as random phenomenon, with some distribution in time formed by performance shaping factors influence. In HRA second generation method/framework ATHEANA, treatment of human failure is different, as it is seen as cause based consequence of error forcing context actuation. Still, the plant specific experience can lead to the conclusion that some residual randomness should be kept in hiunan failure model, similarly to the case of (equipment) dependent errors and residual common cause failures. 

Several deterministic corrosion models have been developed, some purely theoretical while others incorporate empirical results. For a review, see for example Nyborg (2002) or Nesic (2007). Many researchers have studied the mechanisms of corrosion on carbon steel in hydrocarbon environments. The purpose of the experiments has mainly been to study the effects of different influencing factors on the corrosion rate. With a theoretical background and mathematics based on physical understanding of the corrosion principles, these models often perform well under controlled experiments. However, their vahdation is limited outside the laboratory. This limited validation for field applications is mainly due to two reasons ... 

After evaluating the planned barriers as well as the influencing factors, then, the assessment of the occupational hazards within the defined susceptible hazards/risks exposed area need to be performed. The susceptible hazards/risks exposed area can be defined as per expert s judgement (opinions) and past experience. For example, a checklist analysis which is an experience based approach, can be used to identify known types of occupational hazards, potential accident situations, or design deficiencies (Neogy et al., 1996). Thereafter, the hazards needs to be classified as well as prioritise based on the standards, regulations and statutory requirements. 

It is rarely possible to predict chemical resistance of pigments and color settings to the various influencing factors. The reason for this is the nearly limitless number of possible systems together with the combination of different reaction possibilities. Experience shows that two pigments tested separately can be compatible with the plastic, while their combination may be incompatible with the plastic because of their interaction. Thus, it is mandatory to perform exposure tests prior to releasing a formulation [598]. 

Also in this case, constant iteration loops occur and because of today s short iimovation cycle, products are often only mature after years of their usage and each change also becomes a risk for other characteristics. This of course is not acceptable when it comes to the safety characteristics of a product. It is tme that an inexperienced development team often doesn t know the influence factors, but an experienced team can also make incorrect assumption. Unfortunately, there are certain amounts of risk even in the approach itself. If requirements are systematically developed and properly derived according processes, the known influence factors will also be incorporated. If experienced people perform these analyses, some aspects will also be included in the analysis, which go beyond the requirements and the experience of the designer. At the verification certain levels of experience can... 

The variability of human performance is reflected by individual differences of skill, experience, motivation, and other personal characteristics of work force. There can be a wide range of specific environmental situations and other physical aspects of the tasks to be performed. Only some of this variation regarding the performance-shaping factors is accounted for in HEP s by provision of different estimates of HEP s for different sets of influencing factors such as experience of the operator, level of stress, and ergonomic layout. 

Variables It is possible to identify a large number of variables that influence the design and performance of a chemical reactor with heat transfer, from the vessel size and type catalyst distribution among the beds catalyst type, size, and porosity to the geometry of the heat-transfer surface, such as tube diameter, length, pitch, and so on. Experience has shown, however, that the reactor temperature, and often also the pressure, are the primary variables feed compositions and velocities are of secondary importance and the geometric characteristics of the catalyst and heat-exchange provisions are tertiary factors. Tertiary factors are usually set by standard plant practice. Many of the major optimization studies cited by Westerterp et al. (1984), for instance, are devoted to reactor temperature as a means of optimization.

Procedure Set up an acoustic reactor in a light-proof cabinet with a photomultiplier (PM) tube positioned facing the cell as shown in Fig. 15.3a and b. Fill the cell with distilled water and close the cabinet. A potential should now be applied to the PM tube, the output (spectrally integrated) of which is produced on an oscilloscope (note that the ultrasound cell can easily be placed inside a commercial spectrometer in order to record the emission spectrum). Switch on the ultrasound and you should observe on the oscilloscope a change in voltage, directly proportional to the intensity of sonoluminescence emission. The following experiments can be performed to explore the different types of light emission and some of the factors that influence these emission processes.
