Latitude

The draft standard was then developed so that it was possible to classify both types of film in separate groups. The first being a Classical film, the second a Wide Latitude film. The density range of the standard covered from D=2.0 to D=4.0. A radiographer would expect the contrast to be higher at D=4.0 than the contrast at D=2.0. 

Minimum exposure times must be observed in order to reach the requisite S/N ratio. As per EN 1435 and EN 584-1, for the different ranges of utilization (energy, wall thickness), definite film elasses are prescribed. They are characterized by the minimum gradient-to-noise ratios. Based on this, one can calculate the minimum values for the S/N ratio based on the IP systems. The exposure time and the device parameter sensitivity and dynamics (latitude) must be adjusted accordingly, with an availability of an at least 12 bit system for the digitalization.

The values in the table below are to be subtracted from the barometric reading for latitudes from 0 to 45° ... 

A barometer located at an elevation above sea level will show a reading lower than a barometer at sea level by an amount approximately 2.5 mm (0.1 in) for each 30.5 m (100 ft) of elevation. A closer approximation can be made by reference to the following tables, which take into account (1) the effect of altitude of the station at which the barometer is read, (2) the mean temperature of the air column extending from the station down to sea level, (3) the latitude of the station at which the barometer is read, and (4) the reading of the barometer corrected for its temperature, a correction which is applied only to mercurial barometers since the aneroid barometers are compensated for temperature effects. 

Example. A barometer which has been corrected for its temperature reads 650 mm at a station whose altitude is 1350 m above sea level and at a latitude of 30°. The mean temperature (outdoor temperature) at the station is 20°C.

In other work, the impact of thermal processing on linewidth variation was examined and interpreted in terms of how the resist s varying viscoelastic properties influence acid diffusion (105). The authors observed two distinct behaviors, above and below the resist film s glass transition. For example, a plot of the rate of deprotection as a function of post-exposure processing temperature show a change in slope very close to the T of the resist. Process latitude was improved and linewidth variation was naininiized when the temperature of post-exposure processing was below the film s T.

Although there are several limits which apply to heat pipe operation, these generally lend themselves to specific design solutions or occur at sufficiently high levels of performance to permit a wide latitude of practical appHcations. The envelope of these limits is shown generically in Figure 3. 

Rotogravure Inks. Since there are no mbber or plastic components in contact with the solvents contained in gravure ink formulations, it is permissible to use solvents such as ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons which cannot be tolerated in flexo inks. This provides the gravure ink formulator with much greater latitude in regard to binder selection. In other respects the compositions generally are similar. 

The latitude that titanium affords the cell designer has made a wide variety of monopolar and bipolar membrane cell designs possible. 

Northeastern Tropical Pacific approximately 5—20° North latitude, 110—155° West longitude (25,26) ia the Central Indian Ocean south of India approximately 5—10° South latitude, 75—88° East longitude (27) ia the EEZ of the Cook Islands ia the South Pacific approximately 15—25° South latitude, 155—165° West longitude (28) and the Blake Plateau off the Adantic coast of the United States approximately 30—35° North latitude, 65—80° West longitude (29). 

In air conditioning (qv) of closed spaces, a wider latitude in design features can be exercised (23,24). Blowers are used to pass room or cabin air through arrays of granules or plates. Efficiencies usuaHy are 95% or better. The primary limiting factor is the decreased rate of absorption of carbon dioxide. However, an auxHiary smaH CO2 sorption canister can be used. Control of moisture entering the KO2 canister extends the life of the chemical and helps maintain the RQ at 0.82. 

Most ozone is formed near the equator, where solar radiation is greatest, and transported toward the poles by normal circulation patterns in the stratosphere. Consequendy, the concentration is minimum at the equator and maximum for most of the year at the north pole and about 60°S latitude. The equihbrium ozone concentration also varies with altitude the maximum occurs at about 25 km at the equator and 15—20 km at or near the poles. It also varies seasonally, daily, as well as interaimuaHy. Absorption of solar radiation (200—300 nm) by ozone and heat Hberated in ozone formation and destmction together create a warm layer in the upper atmosphere at 40—50 km, which helps to maintain thermal equihbrium on earth. 

This cycle accounts for 30—50% of the total photochemical ozone loss observed during spring in the lower stratosphere at mid-north latitudes (76).
