Exploratory programming

The present work was initiated as a consequence of an exploratory program on acetaldehyde oxidation in which copper (II), manganese (II), and cobalt (II) acetates were evaluated. The results indicate a significant difference both in acetaldehyde efficiency to acetic acid and in by-product distribution. 

Consequently, an exploratory program was undertaken to see if this specification could be met by addition of a simple gasoline treating step. In a short time, a heavy gasoline treating (HGT) technology evolved. With the HGT, durene levels even higher than 5 wt% could be treated down to the 2% level. 

Exploratory Program to Identify Chemistry for the Preparation of Temozolomide... 

Several initiatives essentially led us to starting a small exploratory program with Fachhochschule Nordwest Schweiz (FHNS) in Switzerland. In beginning a working relationship with FHNS, we decided to focus initially on finding a better (shorter and less expensive) route for producing AIC. 

Evaluate the site and subsurface geologic and geotechnical conditions, perform borings or other field exploratory programs, and conduct field and laboratory tests to obtain design parameters for subsurface materials... 

Next, there is a need for evolutionary specifications, where one deliberately omits some functionalities in a first specification, and then relies on replay facilities [Wile 83] when adding the missing functionalities in subsequent versions of the specification. This form of exploratory programming promises an answer to the endemic difficulty of providing partially correct and complete formal specifications. 

This program is marketed as an exploratory tool for undergraduate organic chemistry students. As an educational tool, it is well designed. The program, as is, might also serve as a reminder of possible options for synthetic chemists. It could also be useful to the research community if more reactions are included in future versions. 

Once objectives have been defined, a study protocol including an appropriate QA/QC program is developed. Initially, both literature and information searches should be made. If possible, selected field measurements based on an assumed dispersion model can also be made. The objective of the exploratory study is to obtain the best possible answers to the following questions. 

The National Residue Program operates in three basic modes monitoring, surveillance, and exploratory. 

Exploratory sampling is done generally to gain information about possible residues of concern. All exploratory projects have in common the negative characteristic that their design is not suitable for immediate regulatory action. However important to the Program, they are basically for informational purposes. 

We should keep in mind that over the past decades researchers have not always had computers available. Yet, for the most part the researchers and product developers have created acceptable foods. One does not need the computer to produce an acceptable product. However, the computer acts as a rapid calculating device. Properly programmed, and using mathematical models which describe the relations among formula variables, the computer can act as an exploratory device. It can search out combinations of ingredients which generate desired responses. We could, as individual researchers and product developers, come up with the same answers. More than likely, however, we would ...

Almost all computer programs employed currently adopt the Thiele-Geddes basis that is, they evaluate the performance of a column with a specified feed, bottoms/overhead ratio, reflux ratio, and numbers of trays above and below the feed. Specific desired product distributions must be found by interpolation between an appropriate range of exploratory runs. The speed and even the possibility of convergence of an iterative process depends on the values of starting estimates of the variables to be established eventually. Accordingly, the best possible starting estimates should be made by methods such as those of Sections 13.7 and 13.8, or on the basis of experience. 

Alkali Fusion. Several alkali fusions were performed in an attempt to convert the alkali lignin into low molecular weight compounds that could be identified in this exploratory part of the program.
