Lag parameter

A dimensionless lag parameter, j, describes the normalized distance between any two increments ... 

When analysing the discrepancies (L, etc.) between the observed time lag parameters (La, etc.) and the calculated ideal values (La, etc.), one must take into account possible contributions from causes other than dependence of S, DT on X. Analysis of the case of simultaneous dependence of S, Dx on X and t shows that 4 135>... 

Here CT is the applied stress, while N/, k = 1,2 and Aj are constants depending on the inplane stiffness properties of the intact material shear lag parameters K,K2i and... 

EC90, etc.) and the time lag between the measured rapidly changing plasma concentration and the corresponding steady-state effect at that concentration level. This time-lag parameter is described by the equilibration half-time. Using both these parameters, that is, the expected effect and the time required to obtain the effect, allows investigators to model the effect-concentration relationship when patients are not at steady state. 

The behavioral lag parameters, h and a, provide a means of quantifying the dynamic market response. A half-life of 10 years was chosen for this analysis, allowing for a maximum of 50 percent market penetration at a point 10 years from the date assumed for commercialization. The second behavioral lag parameter, a, fixes the relative shape (curvature) of the dynamic market response curve once the half-life parameter has been chosen a value of 4 was chosen for this parameter. 

Where a is the axial normal stress uniformly applied owz = L. X is shear-lag parameter, and Ef are elastic modules of CNT and matrix respectively. For the known stress and strain distribution under RVE we can calculate elastic effective properties quantifications [7]. The effective module > can be calculated as follow... 

Thus, in the leading mode the machine tends to become unstable. It is therefore mandatory to operate the machine well within its stability region, i.e. between 0.8 p.f. lagging and unity, unless it is also designed for a leading mode. Every machine has its own operating parameters as shown in Figure 24.9. To obtain its best performance, it must be operated within these parameters. 

Temperature is the hardest parameter to control in a fractionation system. It exhibits high process and measurement lag. Temperature can also be ambivalent as a measure of composition. Pressure changes are reflected quickly up and down the column. Temperature changes are not. It is typical to provide three-mode controllers for all temperature applications. 

As the lead boiler generates steam, the condensate falls back into an idle or offline boiler because of inadequate valving. Excessive MU is supplied to the lead boiler and the TDS quickly rises to exceed control parameters, while the lag boiler steam space (and possibly some of the steam header) fills up with condensate, diluting any chemical inhibitor present below the minimum protective inhibitor reserve level. 

Cohen and Coon observed that the response of most uncontrolled (controller disconnected) processes to a step change in the manipulated variable is a sigmoidally shaped curve. This can be modelled approximately by a first-order system with time lag Tl, as given by the intersection of the tangent through the inflection point with the time axis (Fig. 2.34). The theoretical values of the controller settings obtained by the analysis of this system are summarised in Table 2.2. The model parameters for a step change A to be used with this table are calculated as follows... 

Differences in integration time scales may also affect our perception of key derived parameters such as the ThE ratio (Cochran et al. 2000). This ratio (see above) compares the POC flux derived from water column " Th profiles (and thus integrating into the past) with present primary production. As classically measured using incubation techniques, primary production is an instantaneous measurement representing the phytoplankton community as sampled at a single time. Under bloom conditions, the export of POC may lag the production of fresh organic matter and ThE ratios calculated late in a bloom may be overestimates. 

Published evidence highlights the efficacy of SFE. However, the method is highly matrix and analyte dependent and must be optimised for each combination of material and analyte. Interaction between analyte and matrix is often difficult to predict and optimisation of the extraction procedure is not simple. Understanding of the processes that occur during SFE has lagged behind instrumental developments. The results obtained from SFE are highly dependent on the operational parameters used during the extraction (Table 3.19).

The dashed curve shows the results of the analytical model discussed in the text, and the solid curve is a numerical calculation of the phase lag without adjustable parameters.

Other applications of the previously described optimization techniques are beginning to appear regularly in the pharmaceutical literature. A literature search in Chemical Abstracts on process optimization in pharmaceuticals yielded 17 articles in the 1990-1993 time-frame. An additional 18 articles were found between 1985 and 1990 for the same narrow subject. This simple literature search indicates a resurgence in the use of optimization techniques in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, these same techniques have been applied not only to the physical properties of a tablet formulation, but also to the biological properties and the in-vivo performance of the product [30,31]. In addition to the usual tablet properties the authors studied the following pharmacokinetic parameters (a) time of the peak plasma concentration, (b) lag time, (c) absorption rate constant, and (d) elimination rate constant. The graphs in Fig. 15 show that for the drug hydrochlorothiazide, the time of the plasma peak and the absorption rate constant could, indeed, be... 

The proportionality constant g includes such parameters as the number of thermoelectric couples in the pile, their thermoelectric power, and the gain of the amplification device. It is supposed, moreover, that the response of the recording line is considerably faster than the thermal lag in the calorimeter. The Tian equation may also be written therefore ... 

The old thin disk and thick disk populations are deconvolved from the velocity-metallicity distribution of the sample and their parameters are determined. The thick disk is found to have a moderate rotational lag with respect to the Sun with a mean metallicity of [Fe/H] = —0.48 0.05 and a high local normalization of 15 7%.
