Indicators evaluation

If surgical resection does not achieve satisfactory disease control or is not indicated, evaluate the patient for pituitary radiation or bilateral adrenalectomy with concomitant pituitary radiation. 

Step 3. As indicated, evaluations based on correspondences in chemical, petrographic and archaeological patterning were made at various points in the investigation. As these do not require a formal description of statistical procedures, this step is not considered further at the present time. 

The data from the density (specific gravity) test method (ASTM D1298 IP 160) provides a means of identification of a grade of naphtha but is not a guarantee of composition and can only be used to indicate evaluate product composition or quality when used in conjunction with the data from other test methods. Density data are used primarily to convert naphtha volume to a weight basis, a requirement in many of the industries concerned. For the necessary temperature corrections and also for volume corrections, the appropriate sections of the petroleum measurement tables (ASTM D1250 IP 200) are used.

Some initial work on the development of an overall inherent safety index has been done at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom (26). Other, similar work has been done at VTT in Finland (27). Both indices are considered prototypes by the developers, and more work is needed. These proposed inherent safety indices evaluate a number of factors related to inherent safety, including ... 

H = viscosity of fluid (subscript w indicates evaluation at wall temperature), lb/(hXft)... 

This parameter is similar to one derived by Chu et al.[121] for shallow-shear-layers, with CdCI replacing the bed-friction parameter cf/h. We anticipate that CSL will have a universal value (CSLeq) for obstructed-shear-layers at equilibrium. From Table 6.1 we anticipate CSLeq = 0.21 + 0.03. If this equilibrium exists, then (6.39) can provide an estimate of the length-scale,6e, which defines the region within the canopy that experiences rapid exchange with the adjacent open water (Figure 6.11). The characteristic length-scale of the shear-layer vortices is L = (u)/d(u)/dz, where the sub-script h indicates evaluation at the top of the canopy (at z = h). Substituting into (6.39),... 

In this expression, the superscript (0) indicates evaluation with respect to the F (X) functions. The general expression is... 

Aiiempts have been made to standardize at least the conditions in which D-values may be determined, AAMI [8) have specified a sterilizing vessel, termed a biological indicator evaluator resistometer (BIER vessel), which allows rapid attainment and termination of exposure conditions in a precise and accurate manner.

Causal and Response Variables for Indicator Evaluation in Wetlands... 

An accident at a nuclear power plant can be caused by many combinations of anomalous initiating event, malfunction and human error. The types of possible accidental situations are studied in the specific safety analysis of each plant and the safety systems described above are designed to prevent, or mitigate the effects of all the accidents chosen as DBAs. Table 3-1 provides an approximate indication of the effectiveness of various safety systems in limiting external releases in a typical loss of coolant accident (the break of a large primary circuit pipe). The figures are for the release of iodine-131 (often assumed as the reference isotope in indicative evaluations of source terms and for a 1000 MWe reactor). As can be seen, the reduction of the releases caused by the safety systems is very significant and corresponds to a factor of the order of one million. 

Indicative evaluation of long distance doses for very serious accidents to nuclear reactors... 

For indicative evaluations, the stability of the works can be evaluated by the simplified limit state method. In particular it has to be assumed that the soil behind the works is in the active limit equilibrium condition while the soU located in front of the foot of the works is in the passive limit condition. 

The following section details some elements of dynamic analysis which are useful for indicative evaluations. 

In order to perform an indicative evaluation of the load which could correspond to other types of aircraft and to other impact speeds, the following simple concepts are suggested ... 

This appendix gives some examples of dose calculations which have been used during discussions on conceptual designs of various plants. The dose calculations are of a simple type, suitable for indicative evaluations. More elaborate calculations are usually performed in the final phases of the safety analysis, when systems and components purchase specifications have already been defined. 

Here the subscript c indicates evaluation at Xc, and we have also introduced s = x — Xc. 2.2 STATIONARY POINTS... 

General indicators of the potential utility of a design have been used often in de novo design programs, These indicators evaluate many... 

Reliability indices P evaluated for standard EEMUA 159 (green squares) are lower than the reliability indices evaluated for standard API 653 in all cases, see Figure 7. At the same time the minimum acceptable thickness evaluated for standard EEMUA 159 (green squares) are lower than the minimum acceptable thickness evaluated for standard API 653. This means that the rejection limits of standard API 653 are safer (more conservative) than the rejection limits of standard EEMUA 159. 

For performance indicators evaluation we fix points and sensors within the PRESERVE V2X Security System where measurements need to be taken. We also introduce measurement points on the commimication stack especially on the Networking and transport layer where VSS is integrated. 

Representation of pressure versus L/R at constant flow rate for a polyethylene melt, often call a Bagley plot. The upward curvature for long dies is due both to compressibility and to the pressure dependence of viscosity. The dam have been fit with the three functions indicated. Evaluating dP/d(L/R) at L/R = 0 for each of these fits gives r i = 275 kPa, r 2 = 244 kl and Zws = 233 kPa.
