For comparison, the interested reader might want to evaluate the experimental data with the method based on eqn 3.11. He would find a reaction order that varies between 0.24 and 1.24 in point-by-point evaluation, and between 0.52 and 1.06 in global evaluation. This demonstrates the high sensitivity of this method to even minor experimental errors. 

It is instructive to compare the two evaluation methods used in Tables 3.2 and 3.3. The global method gives a more nearly constant value of the rate coefficient because each value is, in effect, averaged over the entire time span from start to sampling. In contrast, the point-by-point method is particularly suited for... 

Typical GA applications can require many function evaluations to find a good answer. This is true of all global optimization methods, and not just GA. A typical run for a problem with n variables will use a population of lOn, run for 100 generations, and be repeated 10 times, for a total of 10,000 function evaluations. If your function is expensive to evaluate, it may be best to look for some heuristic that allows you to locate the minima of interest more quickly than GA will. 

Abstract. Culture has already played an important role in the global market. It not only affects products, but also impacts on usability evaluation methods. This project aims to examine in the established thinking aloud usability evaluation method (TA UEM), how does the evaluator build a supportive relationship and communicate effectively with the user in order to find relevant usability problems in culturally localized applications. It includes three parts, pilot study, field study and experiments, to get both qualitative data and quantitative data. From this project, we hope to find an effective way to structure our TA UEM methodology to capture or be sensitive towards the mental models and ways of thinking in different cultural groups.

The Rietveld Fit of the Global Diffraction Pattern. The philosophy of the Rietveld method is to obtain the information relative to the crystalline phases by fitting the whole diffraction powder pattern with constraints imposed by crystallographic symmetry and cell composition. Differently from the non-structural least squared fitting methods, the Rietveld analysis uses the structural information and constraints to evaluate the diffraction pattern of the different phases constituting the diffraction experimental data. 

The method also provides what is called a data-scope, which zooms in on a particular part of the data set. The functioning of the data-scope is illustrated with a simulated three-component system given in Figs. 34.33a and b. The scores plot (Fig. 34.33c) obtained by a global PCA in wavelength space shows the usual line structures. In this case the data-scope technique is applied to evaluate the purity of the up-slope and down-slope elution zones of the peak. Therefore, data-scope performs a local PCA on the up-slope and down-slope regions of the data.
