It should be noted that in a vapour phase the liquid layer on the surface of a sensitive element of the sensor (zinc oxide) must be sufficiently thin, so that it would not produce any influence on the diffusion flux of oxygen through this layer. Possible lack of the film continuity (the presence of voids) does not prevent determination of concentration of oxygen in the bulk of the cell by the vapour - gas method. In this case, one deals with a semi-dry method. On the contrary, the presence of a thick liquid layer causes considerable errors in measuring t, because of different distribution of oxygen in a system gas - liquid layer -semiconductor film (this distribution is close to that in the system semiconductor film - liquid), in addition to substantial slowing down of oxygen diffusion in such systems. 

Various aspects of in vitro gas production test have been reviewed by Getachew et al. [33], and these authors reported that gas measurement were centered on investigations of rumen microbial activities using manometric measurements and concluded that these methods do not have wide acceptability in routine feed evaluation since there was no provision for the mechanical stirring of the sample during incubation. Another in vitro automated pressure transducer method for gas production measurement was developed by Wilkins [34], and the method was validated by Blummel and Orskov [35] and Makkar et al. [36]. There are several other gas-measuring techniques such as (i) Flohenheim gas method or Menke s method [37] (ii) liquid displacement system [38] (iii) manometric method [39] (iv) pressure transducer systems manual [40], computerized [41], and combination of pressure transducer and gas release system [42]. 

Guevremont et al. [117] studied the use of various matrix modifiers in the graphite furnace gas method of determination of cadmium in seawater. These included citric acid, lactic acid, aspartic acid, histidine, and EDTA. The addition of less than 1 mg of any of the compounds to 1 ml seawater significantly decreased matrix interference. Citric acid achieved the highest sensitivity and reduction of interference, with a detection limit of 0.01 pg cadmium per litre. 

Most importantly, none of the methods have, been sufficiently checked to assess how well they reproduce the gas yields or even the LC50 values from the appropriate segments of real-scale fire tests. To begin this process, a comparison procedure has been developed and a few materials have been checked using the NBS bench-scale combustor and the N-gas method (14,15). 

Termination of the algorithm can be based on several conditions, such as a prespecilied number of iterations, or a prespecified level of agreement between the different selected subsets. Details on the GA method can be found in several references [99-101],... 

Purge gas method the cryopump is warmed up by admitting warm purging gas. 

The health hazards of SO, treatment can be avoided by using iron or steel scrap as reduction agents, and careful control of pH. A methodology has been developed that approaches the S02 gas method in efficiency and operating cost (Roy 1984). 

The basic difference between dispersed and dissolved gas flotation is the way gas is introduced into the water, and the much higher gas/water ratio possible by the dispersed gas method. 

Many carrier gas methods were reviewed in detail by Lomax2, 3. Apparatus using the measurement of thermal conductivity to estimate permeability has been described, for example, by Yasuda and Rosengren10... 

The advantage of the GA variable selection approach over the univariate approach discussed earlier is that it is a true search for an optimal multivariate regression solution. One disadvantage of the GA method is that one must enter several parameters before it... 

Qtot (m3/h) is the volume flow at which the interior atmosphere is exchanged while measuring the concentration. It is determined experimentally by tracer gas methods (e.g., TOV NORD, 1996). 

The properties of the two phases, the properties of the chemical, and the temperature, control the partitioning process. For trace concentrations of chemicals in the ambient atmosphere, the air compartment can be treated as a perfect gas. Methods to predict KPA thus must consider three factors the properties of the plant, the properties of the chemical, and temperature. The temperature dependence of KPA is a function of the chemical and the plant the influence of chemical properties on KPA is a function of temperature and the plant. Understanding and describing these interdependencies quantitatively is a considerable challenge which has been addressed only recently although much progress has been made, much remains to be done. 

The protonated cluster ions were observed to be the major product ions in the CMS of ammopia, water, etc., although unprotonated cluster ions have also been observed in these cases, depending on the choice of carrier gas, method of ionization, and electron energy utilized in the investigation (Shinohara et al. 1985, 1986). The inability to observe unprotonated cluster ions is usually attributed to poor Franck-Condon factors for the vertical ionization transitions. These poor Franck-Condon factors arise from the large differences in the configuration of the neutral and ionic clusters (Stace 1987a). 

The final step in the preparation of a catalyst is the transformation of the precursor to the active phase (e.g. metal, sulfide) which is sometimes called activation. The activation may be a reduction (e.g. by H2), reduction-sulfidation (e.g. by H2 + H2S), dehydroxyla-tion (e.g. by removal of H20 from zeolite) or oxidation (e.g. by O2). The details of the activation process must be stated (e.g. partial pressure and purity of gas, method of heating and its rate, gas reacting flow rale, sample size). 

In this article we focus on fundamental aspects of our implementation of the GA method for structure solution from powder diffraction data (Sect. 3.2), highlighting some examples of the application of this method (Sect. 3.3).
