Total integration time

Chromatographic peak areas were measured by both manual and mechanical integration methods. Total analysis time was less than one hour per sample. 

Figure 5. Reaction probabilities for a given instance of the noise as a function of the total integration time Tint for different values of the anharmonic coupling constant k. The solid lines represent the forward and backward reaction probabilities calculated using the moving dividing surface and the dashed lines correspond to the results obtained from the standard fixed dividing surface. In the top panel the dotted lines display the analytic estimates provided by Eq. (52). The results were obtained from 15,000 barrier ensemble trajectories subject to the same noise sequence evolved on the reactive potential (48) with barrier frequency to, = 0.75, transverse frequency co-y = 1.5, a damping constant y = 0.2, and temperature k%T = 1. (From Ref. 39.)...

For the simple TG scheme with only two time-gates, the optimum gate-width amounts to 2.5 t. Consequently, the total integration time per pulse amounts to 5 t and approximately 99% of all photons in the decay are detected. The detected fraction decreases when an offset is applied between the laser pulse and the opening of... 

Since the flow must be simulated for several integral time scales, the total number of time steps required will increase with Reynolds number as... 

Due to the small size and applied bias voltage (when used in photoconductive mode) the response time of each diode element in the PDA can be very fast indeed, so total integration times can also be short, hi principle, data rates of 200 spectra per second are achievable, but in reality spectral co-adding is a more sensible objective, to improve overall SNR. 

Figure 27.16B shows the method known as pulsed coulometric detection (PCD). In this case, the current is integrated over a longer period and the time period is an integral number of 16.7-ms segments with typical total integration times of greater than 200 ms. The use of this type of waveform eliminates the most common electrical interference (60 Hz sinusoidal) encountered in pulsed electrochemical detection, and thereby increases the detection limits for most compounds. 

For an experimental demonstration of the capabilities of this system, Taylor et al. [69] studied the dual fluorescence decay of frans-stilbene as a function of temperature between —10 and 30° C. The fluorescence comprised two components, a short one varying between 125 and 64 ps and a longer one varying from 690 to 1450 ps over the range of temperatures studied. Typical fluorescence decay curves are shown in Fig. 21. The fluorescence decay curves were recorded over a total integration time of 2 s which represented a summation of 3 x 108 fluorescence decay profiles. The fluorescence profile of a single-shot would not be observable above the noise level. 

Fig. 23b) is measured after a delay time of f = 10 [is and monitored with an integration time of At = 250 [is (time-window). After this long delay time the shortlived emission has totally decayed, i.e. the initial population of state II is depleted. 

As we have seen in the preceding section, considerable progress was achieved in the integral evaluation. Less attention was paid to hastening the SCF procedure itself. This is understandable because for current basis sets and molecules the integral time represents usually a dominant portion of the total time, unless some use is made of facilities and tricks noted in the preceding section. In such a... 

Using the integrated form of this equation (see rel. (7)), the values for WA/Vq for cellulose can be obtained for different temperatures and pyrolysis times. Assuming a pyrolysis time of 10 s in isotherm conditions at different temperatures [in rel. (15). T should be expressed in ° KJ, several values for W/Wq expressed in % are given in Table 3.2.1. These calculated values for WA/Vq used E and A extrapolated for a wider range of temperatures than those reported in literature [8] for cellulose. The only purpose of these calculations is to illustrate the effect of temperature on the rate of pyrolysis. From Table 3.2.1 it can be seen that around 200° C cellulose is not significantly decomposed. Around 400° C the decomposition starts, and around 600° C the decomposition is practically complete. In analytical pyrolysis, 600° C and 10 s pyrolysis time (total heating time THT) could, therefore, be recommended for the experimental conditions of cellulose pyrolysis. 

Linek and Mayrhoferova (L16) have used electric conductivity to measure the dispersion height, based on locating the surface elevation at certain selected points by means of an electrically conductive probe. The height is determined by the vertical position of the probe tip for which the integrated time of contact is exactly half the period of measurement. The accuracy of the measured value of the total surface elevation is claimed by...
