INDEX working population

The fluorescent components are denoted by I (intensity) followed by a capitalized subscript (D, A or s, for respectively Donors, Acceptors, or Donor/ Acceptor FRET pairs) to indicate the particular population of molecules responsible for emission of/and a lower-case superscript (d or, s) that indicates the detection channel (or filter cube). For example, / denotes the intensity of the donors as detected in the donor channel and reads as Intensity of donors in the donor channel, etc. Similarly, properties of molecules (number of molecules, N quantum yield, Q) are specified with capitalized subscript and properties of channels (laser intensity, gain, g) are specified with lowercase superscript. Factors that depend on both molecular species and on detection channel (excitation efficiency, s fraction of the emission spectrum detected in a channel, F) are indexed with both. Note that for all factorized symbols it is assumed that we work in the linear (excitation-fluorescence) regime with negligible donor or acceptor saturation or triplet states. In case such conditions are not met, the FRET estimation will not be correct. See Chap. 12 (FRET calculator) for more details. 

As an index for toxicity of gaseous substances, the median lethal concentration (LC 5 0 ) and the threshold limit value (TLV) are used to evaluate acute toxicity. LCso is the gas concentration (ppm) in air which results in the death of 50% of a population of test animals by inhalation. TLV is the threshold limit of exposure which does not cause any serious sickness in workers under normal conditions of an 8 hours day and a 40-48 hour work week. TLV is usually given in combination with the time-weighted-average concentrations for 8 hours per day (TLV—TWA), or with the short time exposure limit (TLV-STEL), which is that exposure which should not be exceeded even for a relatively short period (15-30 minutes), or with the ultimate limit (TLV-C), which defines the exposure level that should not be exceeded under any circumstances. 

In January 2001, approximately 168 million people, or 60% of the U.S. population, had access to the Internet at home or work, and 86% of adult users of the Internet accessed health-related information. The number of health-related Web sites available is unknoxvn, but it is believed that the more than 19,000 health sites indexed in May 2001 on Yahoo , Inc. represent only a small fraction of the xmiverse of eHealth sites. Internet use has been lower in populations that are underserved, but the profile of the Internet... 

The microphysics in the field generation and particle acceleration described here is clearly beyond the reach of the magneto hydrodynamic approximation. A parameter study utilizing a PIC code working from first principles is necessary to fully understand the interdependence between the relative bulk Lorentz factors of the colliding plasma shells, the power law index of the non-thermal electron population, eb and in a broader sense the detailed evolution and structure in collisionless shocks. 

In our work, although we use the 18 peaks listed in Table I, some others are digitized because they give valuable information about the sample. Three such peaks are the 1708 cm 1, which gives a quick estimate of the degree of oxidative weathering the 1600 cm"1, which gives an idea of the aromaticity and the 1375 cm 1, which, because of its little variance over the entire population of oils [Mattson et al. (37,38)], is a ready index of thickness. 

New mathematical techniques for dealing with the systems of nonlinear differential equations that result from models of population interactions need to be found. Discussions with mathematicians make it clear that techniques which would seem to be useful have not been much developed, so rapid progress is not to be expected in this difficult line of endeavor. However, some progress has been made. For example, Stephanopoulos (79,80) has shown how the theory of the Poincar index can be applied to the equations of binary population interactions. The problem with this technique is that it works only when the problem can be reduced to two ordinary differential equations. Mmy situations of binary interaction fall into this category (79), but many do not and of course ternary, quaternary, etc. interactions do not, either.
