Fastness classifications

DT Does not make any assumption of the type of relationship between target property and molecular descriptors Models are easy to interpret Fast classification speed Multi-class classification May have over fitting when training set is small and number of molecular descriptors is large Ranks molecular descriptors using information gain which may not be the best for some problems... 

It should be understood that there is necessarily no hard and fast classification of polymers by structure. The spectrum that is formed is a gradual one with some overlaps. Nevertheless, the concept of such structures is a useful one. 

Even with this simplified instrument, PTR-MS/GC-MS systems are still not in regular use, possibly because the real advantage of PTR-MS in the Food Sciences is not necessarily in the identification of the VOCs but in its real-time rapid monitoring and fingerprinting capabilities. The latter s capability can be used for fast classification of foods (e.g. geographical origin) or for determining food quality and this is the subject of the next section. 

Texture is the LC analogue of morphology in solid crystals. Mesophases usually show various singularities in the distribution of the molecules which are characteristics of the structural features of the perfectly ordered phases. These singularities may gather, in simple experimental situations, in more or less regular sets forming LC textures. For a practical and relatively fast classification of LC, the microscopic observations of the textures are most useful. There are limitations, however, and a complete classification of smectic phases by textures is not always possible similar textures may be observed with two LC states separated by a phase transition. 

The parallel stmcture in the NSC allows for rapid computations of output signals. Although training takes some time, it can be done once on a representative set of data. When training has been completed the classification process is fast and easy to implement in a realtime application. 

Dyes can be classified according to chemistry, shade, apphcation conditions, fastness, etc (see Dyes and dye intermediates). In this article the traditional classification by apphcation method is used. 

Searching is fast and easy. Along with a simple keyword search, IPN offers alternative searches by patent number, boolean text, and advanced text that allows for multiple field searching. Browsing provides an organized approach to searching for patents. Through a review of specific classifications, you can identify topics and patents of interest. 

When applied to QSAR studies, the activity of molecule u is calculated simply as the average activity of the K nearest neighbors of molecule u. An optimal K value is selected by the optimization through the classification of a test set of samples or by the leave-one-out cross-validation. Many variations of the kNN method have been proposed in the past, and new and fast algorithms have continued to appear in recent years. The automated variable selection kNN QSAR technique optimizes the selection of descriptors to obtain the best models [20]. 

Different types of fibers have been detected in skeletal muscle. One classification subdivides them into type I (slow twitch), type IIA (fast twitch-oxidative), and type IIB (fast twitch-glycolytic). For the sake of simphcity, we shall consider only two types type I (slow twitch, ox-... 

These two basic mechanisms could provide a further classification for NTs, namely fast and slow acting, although one NT can work through both mechanisms using different receptors. The slow effects can also range from many milliseconds to seconds, minutes, hours or even to include longer trophic influences. What will become clear is that while one NT can modify a number of different membrane ion currents through different mechanisms and receptors, one current can also be affected by a number of different NTs. The control of neuronal excitability is discussed in more detail in Chapter 2. 

XLOGP, version 2.0, is written in C-h-. The program reads the query compound (represented in SYBYL/MOL2 format), performs atom classification, detects correction factors, and then calculates the log P value. Due to its simple methodology the program is quite fast. It can process about 100 medium-sized compounds per second on an SGI 02/R10000 workstahon. 

In summary, such simple classification schemes for drug-likeness can, in a very fast and robust manner, help to enrich compound selections with drug-like molecules. These filters are very general and cannot be interpreted any further. Thus, they are seen rather as a complement to the more in-depth profiling of leads and drugs by using molecular properties and identifying trends in compound series. 

Lung Clearance Class (fast, F medium, M slow, S)—A classification scheme for inhaled material according to its rate of clearance from the pulmonary region of the lungs to the blood and the gastrointestinal tract. 

The breathing rate data used to define the BR variable were adapted from the reported distribution generated from Shamoo et al.3 In the Shamoo study, a different distribution was identified for several activity patterns, and for this simulation the slow, medium, and fast rate classifications were combined. The distribution is shown in Figure 3. 

The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) recommends that a fasting lipoprotein profile and risk factor assessment be used in the initial classification of adults. 

MS has recently been used to measure compounds with significant levels of impurities and solubilities below the quantitation limits of other methods. Guo et al.46 described the use of LC/MS for solubility measurements in buffer solutions in a 96-well plate. Fligge et al.47 discussed an automated high-throughput method for classification of compound solubility. They integrated a Tecan robotic system for sample preparation in 384-well plates and fast LC/MS for concentration measurement. This approach is limited by LC/MS throughput. 

We focus the following discussion on analysis techniques for small molecular entities. The reader should be aware that there are also a number of solutions for analytical tools that are useful for fast HPLC, GPC, or even DSC. The classification principles that apply for these techniques are the same as for the analytical tools described in this chapter. 

Kinetic parameters of fast pyrolysis were derived while assuming a single process for the decomposition of wood, including three parallel first-order decay reactions for the formation of the product classes. This is the so-called Shafizadeh scheme [56]. The three lumped product classes are permanent gas, liquids (biooil, tar), and char a classification that has become standard over the years. The produced vapors are subject to further degradation to gases, water and refractory tars. Charcoal, which is also being formed, catalyzes this reaction and therefore needs to be removed quickly [57]. 

The most important parameter choices for SVMs (Section 5.6) are the specification of the kernel function and the parameter y controlling the priority of the size constraint of the slack variables (see Section 5.6). We selected RBFs for the kernel because they are fast to compute. Figure 5.27 shows the misclassification errors for varying values of y by using the evaluation scheme described above for k-NN classification. The choice of y = 0.1 is optimal, and it leads to a test error of 0.34.
