The oxygen index method was used to demonstrate synergy. This method measures ease of ignition, that is the facility with which a material or it s pyrolysis products can be ignited under given conditions of temperature and oxygen concentration. This test is indicative of the intrinsic flamability of a material but... 

It is essential that the solution be sufficiently dilute to behave ideally, a condition which is difficult to meet in practice. Ordinarily the dilutions required are beyond those at which the concentration gradient measurement by the refractive index method may be applied with accuracy. Corrections for nonideality are particularly difficult to introduce in a satisfactory manner owing to the fact that nonideality terms depend on the molecular weight distribution, and the molecular weight distribution (as well as the concentration) varies over the length of the cell. Largely as a consequence of this circumstance, the sedimentation equilibrium method has been far less successful in application to random-coil polymers than to the comparatively compact proteins, for which deviations from ideality are much less severe.

Edwards and Lawrence (1993) have presented a list of sixteen chemical and physical properties and process parameters which are available at the process route selection stage (Table 5). Seven of these sixteen parameters were included to their index method (PUS). The selected parameters concentrate very much on the chemical process route and chemistry. They have also tested their selection by an expert judgement, which gave support to their work (Edwards et al., 1996). 

Hyphenated methods can be divided into two types those that do and those that do not destroy the sample in the process of analysis. Spectrophotometric methods, thermal conductivity, and refractive index methods of detection do not destroy the sample. Chromatographic methods using flame ionization and similar detection methods destroy the sample as it is detected. Any hyphenated method that involves MS or thermal analysis (TA) will also destroy the sample. In most cases, the identification of the components in soil is most important, so the destruction of the analyte is of less importance. 

The RUI method is a modification of the brain uptake index method [29] which was first described by Aim and Tornquist [4], The RUI approach consists of a single-arterial (e.g., intracarotid) injection technique, where the primary objective is to analyze the influx of the test substrate from the circulating blood to the retina through the BRB (i.e., blood-to-retina direction). This approach, for example, has been used to determine the retinal uptake of the test substrate which has a relatively high permeability across the BRB. The advantage of this approach is that it avoids the effect of plasma-protein binding of the test substrate and allows the retinal uptake of the test substrate...

Electron crystallography of textured samples can benefit from the introduction of automatic or semi-automatic pattern indexing methods for the reconstruction of the three-dimensional reciprocal lattice from two-dimensional data and fitting procedures to model the observed diffraction pattern. Such automatic procedures had not been developed previously, but it is the purpose of this study to develop them now. All these features can contribute to extending the limits of traditional applications such as identification procedures, structure determination etc. 

These problems can be fully or partially avoided by (i) an improved instrumental resolution, (ii) the introduction of pattern indexing methods and (iii) the introduction of fitting methods.

The calculated cetane index methods were developed to help predict the fuel cetane number without extensive engine testing. Since the calculated cetane index is determined from physical property values such as the specific gravity and the 10%, 50%, and 90% distillation points, it is readily measurable from laboratory data. The ASTM methods D-976 and D-4737 are used to determine the diesel fuel cetane index.
