Identities, indicator functions

If the output from the network is less than zero, this indicates that the point lies in group 1, while if the output is greater than zero, the point is a member of group 0. Suppose that we feed in a point whose coordinates are [X = 3, Y = 7] the input to the node is easily calculated from equation (2.1) to be -7.8. Since the node uses the identity activation function, the output from the node is also -7.8, which is less than zero, so the point [3,... 

Characterization of the donor bound polymers follows from their spectroscopic (ir and uv-vis KBr) properties in comparison with the starting donor monomers, and from elemental analyses. That the donors are covalently bound to the polymer and not present as unreacted monomers can be seen by the absence of the characteristic monomer functional group absorption (i.e. -OH, COzH) in the donor bound polymer. For example in Figure 1, the comparative ir spectra of p-hydroxyphenyl-TTF monomer and this donor covalently bound to linear and to cross-linked polysytrene are given. Except for the presence of the hydroxyl absorption in the monomer, all three spectra are essentially identical, indicating a rather clean polymer attachment reaction. 

At first glance all six traces of Fig. 15 are identical, indicating that the width of the response function is less important than would probably be expected. There are some minor differences to be pointed out. If an isolated line is used to measure resolution by a direct determination of its full width at half maximum, then the 9.5-point response function performed best. In... 

It has been known for many years that the key intermediate in the cy-clotrimerization of butadiene to 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene is an Tj3,i73-do-decatrienediyl nickel species (73). We have recently reinvestigated this complex in the hope of obtaining further structural information, and the 13C-NMR spectrum is shown in Fig. 9. The spectra in THF-dg and toluene-t(8 are practically identical, indicating that THF is not here functioning as a ligand. The spectrum shown in Fig. 9 was run in THF-dg and...

Objects, each with its own identity and indicated by an ID number, are described by properties (attributes). The functions (methods) that can be applied to the object define their behavior. Objects represent instances and are illustrated by rectangles. Objects with identical attributes, functionality, and semantics are grouped into object classes or regular classes. The quantity of customers thus forms the class customer (see Figure 11). 

Therefore, this constraint can be written in the form E[ifi(x, W)] s p- Problems with such probabilistic constraints are called chance constrained problems. Note that even if the function h(-, ) is continuous, the corresponding indicator function ) is discontinuous unless it is identically equal to zero or one. Because of that, it may be technically difficult to hemdle such a problem. 

The analysis is based on averages of four realizations of reconstructions of two different porous media with c=0.42 and 8=0.355, respectively. Typical cross sections for each medium are shown in Fig. 2. A comparison between the experimental autocorrelation functions (SANS data) and the autocorrelation functions measured on the reconstructed media is presented in Fig. 3a and 3b. It is evident that the stochastic reconstructions exhibit nearly identical autocorrelation functions with the experimentally observed ones. This indicates that the reconstructed materials respect the basic statistical content of the actual porous materials. 

We now consider a system that involves bare clay sheets and a polymer mixture that contains both functionalized and nonfunctionalized species. In particular, some fraction of the polymers contain "stickers" that are highly attracted to the surface. Aside from the sticker sites, the functionalized and nonfunctionalized chains are chemically identical. The functionalized polymers will bind to the clay and form a grafted layer. The remainder of the polymers will interact witii the anchored species. Since the free and grafted chains are comparable in length, the free polymer can readily penetrate the grafted layer and form a broad interphase, which promotes the formation of exfoliated hybrids While the experimental result will depend on the kinetics of the process, the SCF calculations can indicate, for example, how the fraction of functionalized chains in the mixture affects the thermodynamic stability of the product To test the feasibility of this approach, we varied the fraction of functionalized polymers within a melt of chains of comparable length. 

From the earliest days, the BET model has been subject to a number of criticisms. The model assumes all the adsorption sites on the surface to be energetically identical, but as was indicated in Section 1.5 (p. 18) homogeneous surfaces of this kind are the exception and energetically heterogeneous surfaces are the rule. Experimental evidence—e.g. in curves of the heat of adsorption as a function of the amount adsorbed (cf. Fig. 2.14)—demonstrates that the degree of heterogeneity can be very considerable. Indeed, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller adduced this nonuniformity as the reason for the failure of their equation to reproduce experimental data in the low-pressure region. 

The dimensionless relations are usually indicated in either of two forms, each yielding identical resiilts. The preferred form is that suggested by Colburn ran.s. Am. In.st. Chem. Eng., 29, 174—210 (1933)]. It relates, primarily, three dimensionless groups the Stanton number h/cQ, the Prandtl number c Jk, and the Reynolds number DG/[L. For more accurate correlation of data (at Reynolds number <10,000), two additional dimensionless groups are used ratio of length to diameter L/D and ratio of viscosity at wall (or surface) temperature to viscosity at bulk temperature. Colburn showed that the product of the Stanton number and the two-thirds power of the Prandtl number (and, in addition, power functions of L/D and for Reynolds number <10,000) is approximately equal to half of the Fanning friction fac tor//2. This produc t is called the Colburn j factor. Since the Colburn type of equation relates heat transfer and fluid friction, it has greater utility than other expressions for the heat-transfer coefficient. 

A powerful tool now employed is that of diode array detection (DAD). This function allows peaks detected by UV to be scanned, and provides a spectral profile for each suspected microcystin. Microcystins have characteristic absorption profiles in the wavelength range 200-300 nm, and these can be used as an indication of identity without the concomitant use of purified microcystin standards for all variants. A HPLC-DAD analytical method has also been devised for measurement of intracellular and extracellular microcystins in water samples containing cyanobacteria. This method involves filtration of the cyanobacteria from the water sample. The cyanobacterial cells present on the filter are extracted with methanol and analysed by HPLC. The filtered water is subjected to solid-phase clean-up using C g cartridges, before elution with methanol and then HPLC analysis. 

Fig. 11(a) displays plots of the in-plane pair correlation function for s = 2. and 3.0 well outside the regime where K exhibits its first maximum (see Fig. 12). The plots indicate that the transverse structures of one- and two-layer fluids (see Fig. 10) are essentially identical and typical of dense Lennard-Jones fluids. However, the transverse structure of a two-layer fluid is significantly affected as the peak of K is approached, as can be seen in Fig. 11(b) where g (zi,pi2) is plotted for s = 2.55 and 2.75, which points...
