Graphical analyses

Perhaps the simplest method of cell cycle analysis is that described by Okada (1967) which gives the additional information of the proportion of cells in each phase of the cycle. 

The information required from an exponentially growing culture of cells is  

All this information may be obtained in an experiment lasting 3-4 h with or without the use of colcemid. The graph (Fig. 10.12) is then plotted on single cycle semi-log paper as follows  

The final horizontal and vertical lines give fGl and the percentage of cells in Gl. 

In this chapter we study empirical methods of analysis in the context of process units for separating mixtures, just as we studied mathematical modeling in the context of a desalinator. The physical basis for most separations is equilibrium thermodynamics of multiphase mixtures. Universal laws, and even constrained laws, are sometimes not available. Instead, one s analysis is based on empirical data, which is often presented graphically. 

Consider the two-dimensional system shown in Fig. 3-3. The inside surface is maintained at some temperature 7j, and the outer surface is maintained at T2. We wish to calculate the heat transfer. Isotherms and heat-flow lines have been 

Tubular-flow reactors are suited to high production rates at short residence times (seconds or minutes) and when substantial heat transfer is needed. Jacketed tubes or shell-and-tube eonstruction are used. 

For eonversions under about 95% of equilibrium, performance of a five-stage CSTR unit approaches plug flow. 

Walas also offers the following regarding catalytic reactors (see Part III). 

Catalyst partieles are 0.1 mm dia. in fluidized beds, 1 mm in slurry beds, and 2-5 mm in fixed beds. 

In granular-catalyst packed reactors, the residence-time distribution often is no better than that of a five-stage CSTR battery. 

A positive correlation appears between the number of fatahties and the IPl for each subperiod (which may be visrrally represented by a line with a positive slope for each subperiod). This suggests a log-linear relationship between the two variables. Similarly but inversely, the negahve correlation which appears between the number of fatalihes and the UR for each subperiod suggests a log-linear relationship between the variables. However, log-log relahonships were also tested additionaUy for qirandlying these correlations. 

As will be detailed in the next section, several state space models with explanatory variables (industrial production index and/or unemployment rate) and interventions were estimated for adjusting the monthly numbers of fatalities over the period, with log-lin and log-log specifications. They all confirm the positive correlation between the number of fatalities and the IPI, and the negative correlation between the number of fatalities and the UR.

Note - For each model, the parameters are given as follows  

If we take the logarithms of Equation (7.8), the relationship takes on the form of a straight line. 

Notice from the figures that when m l, the parabola is concaved upward on rectangular coordinate graph paper. When m l, the curve is concaved downward. 

Parabolic curves may not intersect the ordinate at zero but at some value c. In that case, the equation for the relationship takes the form

One of the earliest NDT applications for laser-based profilometry systems was for the inspection of marine boiler tubes. Under funding from the U.S. Navy", several systems were developed that were capable of rapidly and accurately mapping the inside surface of 25 mm and 50 mm diameter boiler tubing. Features such as internal pitting and corrosion can be located and quantitatively assessed using computer-graphic analysis. The system employs an... 

A much less basis set dependent method is to analyze the total electron density. This is called the atoms in molecules (AIM) method. It is designed to examine the small effects due to bonding in the primarily featureless electron density. This is done by examining the gradient and Laplacian of electron density. AIM analysis incorporates a number of graphic analysis techniques as well as population analysis. The population analysis will be discussed here and the graphic techniques in the next chapter. 

Using density as the property measured to determine crystallinity, evaluate 0 as a function of time for these data. By an appropriate graphical analysis, determine the Avrami exponent (in doing this, ignore values of 6 < 0.15, since errors get out of hand in this region). Calculate (rather than graphically evaluate) the value of K consistent with your analysis. 

Particularly when r values are close to zero, this method for evaluating small r s is superior to the graphical analysis of composition data (compare Example 7.5 and Fig. 7.4). 

As can be seen from Figure 11, the graphical method does provide a good visual means for analysing life data and is easUy understood and explained. If used with discretion, graphical analysis can provide a useful means for data analysis.

Reactors should not dissolve in the reaction medium. Judging by spectro-graphic analysis of spent catalysts, some attack of the reactor is more common than is generally supposed. It may be a cause of catalyst failure. Reactors are commonly made of type 316 stainless steel, but other alloys may provide better resistance to spedhc corrosive agents. 

The first step in data analysis is the selection of the best filling probability function, often beginning with a graphical analysis of the frequency histogram. Moment ratios and moment-ratio diagrams (with p as abscissa and as ordinate) are useful since probability functions of known distributions have characteristic values of p, and p. ... 

Graphical analysis of failure data is most commonly plotted using probability. However, in order to understand the hazard plotting method presented here, is not necessary to understand probability plotting. While it is difficult to utilize probability plotting for multiply-censored data, it is...

The second form is statistically advantageous, but the first is amenable to linearized graphical analysis. It represents the equation of a straight line. A plot of (Y, — Too)-1 versus time will be a straight line with a slope from which k may be calculated k = slope x (Yq - Fx)/tA]o. Note that the bracketed quantity is the difference in y s (in spectrophotometry, the difference in molar absorptivities). Thus, k = slope X (yA - yP) = slope X (eA - p). 

Substitution of the usual relation between concentration and property, Eq. (2-23), yields one form for linearized graphical analysis and another for least-squares fitting ... 

Given what has gone before, the reader can readily deduce how to apply these equations to the numerical and linear graphical analysis of data. Consider the following examples. Figure 2-7 shows simulated data for these three dependences. Each gives... 

The data summarization procedures will depend on the objectives and type of data. Statistical calculations should be supported with graphical analysis techniques. A statement of precision and bias should be Included with all Important results of the study. 

The surface of the base metal is anodically polarized under the effect of local cells. For a graphical analysis of the phenomena, one must construct the polarization curves for the partial currents at the base metal as well as the overall anodic 4 vs. E curve reflecting the effective rate of dissolution of this metal under anodic polarization. The rate of the cathodic process, 4, at the inclusions is described by the corresponding cathodic polarization curve (since the surface areas of anodic and cathodic segments differ substantially, currents rather than current densities must be employed here). At open circuit the two rates are identical. 

Since we have now determined the hybrid constants a and p, we can derive Vp and ikbp from the coefficients Ap and which resulted from our graphical analysis. The ratio of Ap to B produces (according to eq. (39.59)) ... 

If the probability distribution of the data is or assumed Gaussian, several statistical measures are available for interpreting the data. These measures can be used to interpret the latent variables determined by a selected data analysis method. Those described here are a combination of statistical measures and graphical analysis. Taken together they provide an assessment of the statistical significance of the analysis. 

The impedance data were fitted to candidate electrical circuits using the non-linear weighted least-squares fitting program "EQIVCT" developed by Boukamp ( ). Graphical analysis was utilized to furnish reasonable first guesses of the circuit parameters for input to EQIVCT.

In 1995, Wang and Smith developed a graphical analysis technique for water minimisation in batch processes, which forms the basis for the argument put forth in this chapter. A detailed presentation of this technique is, therefore, necessary in order to facilitate understanding of the subsequent sections of this chapter.
