Factorization, application

Under suitable conditions of pressure and other factors, application of a suitable voltage between electrodes immersed in a gas causes a discharge of electric current through the gas. Different... 

The solid-flame model, presented in Section 3.5.2, is more realistic than the point-source model. It addresses the fireball s dimensions, its surface-emissive power, atmospheric attenuation, and view factor. The latter factor includes the object s orientation relative to the fireball and its distance from the fireball s center. This section provides information on emissive power for use in calculations beyond that presented in Section 3.5.2. Furthermore, view factors applicable to fireballs are discussed in more detail. 

Another way of classifying the various TA methods is in terms of the application areas in which they might be seen as most useful. Figure 4.15 provides such a classification in terms of seven human factors applications, namely ...

Factors such as those above may act independently of one another. An evaluation of event frequency should consider all such factors applicable to a specific site. 

Generally, different components possess different response factors, application of which not only compensates for different detector response for different components but also take into consideration the other factors inherent with the procedure. However, these factors may be calculated by preparing a synthetic mixture absolutely identical to what is expected in the sample, and subsequently carrying out the gas-chromatography of this mixture exactly under idential experimental parameters as described in the method of analysis. Thus, we have ... 

The identification of causal factors points us to the key areas that need to he examined further for why that factor existed. It acts as a filter to limit the number of areas that are subjected to further analysis to determine root causes. This critical activity must be performed diligently and systematically to identify every causal factor applicable to the specific incident. If a causal factor is missed, one or more root causes will likely be omitted as well, which could lead to similar incidents in the future. 

FIGURE S.6 Schematic illustration of the traditional setting of an acceptable level of exposure (ADI) by dividing the NOAEL from an animal study by an assessment factor (AF). The two dose-response relationships have identical NOAEL. If a uniform assessment factor is applied, there will be an adequate MOS at the ADI for effect b but not for effect a.

When studying a new separation, the separation factors applicable to the considered medium are first determined in our laboratories. Then the various parameters are fed into a computer which uses a program similar to the one used in fractional distillation. The data obtained are usually in excellent agreement with the results of commercial scale operations. 

Currently, there is a need for high-throughput determination of nucleic acid sequences. At present, detection systems most commonly employ fluorescence-based methods. However, wide spread applications of such methods are limited by low speed, high cost, size, and number of incubations steps, among other factors. Application of electrochemical methods in affinity DNA sensors presents likely a promising alternative, allowing miniaturization and cost reduction, and potentially allowing application in point-of-care assays.

Equilibrium models are used to assess the environmental impact of power plant siting. The use of a single, maximum concentration factor for bivalve molluscs as input into the model in this situation is appropriate for screening purposes, i.e., to determine whether the maximum credible value would impact the environment. However, when more realistic estimates are required, selection of concentration factors applicable to the site, species, and situation is necessary.
