CERi II- ICATE AND CERTIFICATION REPORT 5.4.1. Information content 

The certification of a property value in a material leads to a certified value, which is typically the mean of several determinations or the result of a metrologically valid preparation procedure, e.g. weighing. The confidence interval or uncertainty limits of this mean value are also determined. The two basic analytical parameters, mean and uncertainty, are included in a certificate of analysis. The presentation and the additional information, which should also be given in the certificate, are listed in the ISO Guide 31 [32] and cover in particular  

The entire certification work described in the BCR certification reports is examined by an independent group of experts so that all possible sources of unacceptable practice are detected and eliminated. The group of experts has strong metrological background 

In this category belongs the determination of heating and/or cooling curves and DTA, where the temperature difference between the two samples is monitored. The other sort of measurements are calorimetric where the temperature difference is not used for the measurement itself, but exclusively for the regulation of the measured compensating thermal fluxes additionally introduced to the samples, so as to maintain their temperature difference ideally at zero. 

Phase diagrams determined exclusively by DTA/DSC measurements are correct only in those rare cases when equilibrium is attained sufficiently rapidly compared with the heating rate applied. In most case both the stable and metastable lines are jointly traced in a different magnitude and it is up to the investigator again to separate them. The most convenient way is to look for the extrapolated lines of metastable phases, see Fig. 3, viewing thus e.g. the complex peritectic

Systems can possess different extents of complexity. To measure complexity, the information content of the system can be used. Application of information theory is increasingly finitful for modeling biological activities with regard to the symmetry of molecules. 

The Shannon Equation Eq. (1)) [4] enables one to evaluate the information content, I (also known as the Shannon entropy), of the system. 

The first case corresponds to zero information content. 

Let us first define the information content per object. A (discrete) system can be split into classes of equivalence, whose number can vary from 1 to n, where n is the number of the elements (objects) in the system. No element can belong simultaneously to more than one class. Therefore, the information content (JQ of the system is additive, at least class-wise. This means that the information content of the system is the sum of the information contents of the classes. The IC of a class can be given by Eq. (2), where h is the number of elements in the ith class. (Recall, also, that log (x) = -log (l/x)). 

The average information content per object, AICO, is given by Eq. (4), in which m is the number of equivalence classes. 

It has often been mentioned in this chapter that many molecular descriptors can well be highly intcr-corrclatcd. Therefore, any significant information content of a... 

Therefore, the initial dataset and the resultant sets must ideally have the same information content. 

Oui recommendation is that one should use n-leave-out cross-validation, rather than one-leave-out. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that test sets derived thus would be incompatible with the training sets with respect to information content, i.e., the test sets could well be outside the modeling space [8]. 

The relative molecular dynamics fluctuations shown in Figure 7-17 can be compared with the crystallographic B-factors, which are also called temperature factors. The latter name, especially, indicates the information content of these factors they show how well defined within the X-ray structure the position of an atom is. Atoms with high temperature have an increased mobility. In principle, this is the same information as is provided by the molecular dynamics fluctuations. Using Eq. (48), the RMS fluctuation of an atom j can be converted into a B-factor... 

The information content of a structure descriptor depends on two major factors a) the molecular representation of the compound b) the algorithm which is used for the calculation of the descriptor. 

The advantages of spectra for structure representation are their high information content and their easy, accurate, and reproducible measurement. On top of that, spectrometers provide this spectral information already in electronic form and therefore directly amenable to further processing. 

These six matrices form another representation of the group. In this basis, each character is equal to unity. The representation formed by allowing the six symmetry operations to act on the Is N-atom orbital is clearly not the same as that formed when the same six operations acted on the (8]s[,S 1,82,83) basis. We now need to learn how to further analyze the information content of a specific representation of the group formed when the symmetry operations act on any specific set of objects. 

Orbital hybridization descriptions because they too are based on the shared electron pair bond enhance the information content of Lewis formulas by distinguishing... 

Information may be stored in the architecture of the receptor, in its binding sites, and in the ligand layer surrounding the bound substrate such as specified in Table 1. It is read out at the rate of formation and dissociation of the receptor—substrate complex (14). The success of this approach to molecular recognition ties in estabUshing a precise complementarity between the associating partners, ie, optimal information content of a receptor with respect to a given substrate.

In retrospect it is easy to see that such structural irregularity is actually required for proteins to fulfill their diverse functions. Information storage and transfer from DNA is essentially linear, and DNA molecules of very different information content can therefore have essentially the same gross structure. In contrast, proteins must recognize many thousands of different molecules in the cell by detailed three-dimensional interactions, which... 

Using the best procedures during data acquisition produces spectra with the maximum available information content. Once spectra are recorded that contain the information that is sought using the best procedures for extracting the information from the data is important to maximize the value of the analysis. This section will consider the procedures for data acquisition and the extraction of various types of information available from the data. 

From the depth profile alone it is not possible to distinguish whether the profile shape is a result of diffusion of elements or of geometric effects. This example demonstrates the capacity of 3D SIMS to improve the information content of depth profiles.

Effective Measure Complexity A convenient measure of the complexity of a given site-value sequence (as opposed to simple measures of information content), is provided by the so-called effective measure complexity, T, first used by Grassberger [grass86c] for isolating certain very long range correlations appearing in the spatial pattern of elementary rule R22 (see section 3.1.4.1).
