Log-mean value

For large-scale bioreactors (21), especially those of the air lift type (22), the gas phase is best considered as being in plug dow, so that a log mean value of driving force is obtained ... 

The answer obtained from numerical integration was 1.73, or a 23% difference in the solutions. The error introduced by using a log-mean value increases with larger ranges. Log-mean calculations should be used only when the range is small. 

The area of the membrane may be designated as the interfacial area and measured either as the inner or outer surface of the membrane or the mean or average, as in the case of a hollow membrane. A log mean value can also be adapted, in common with the practice for the conduction of heat through a tube wall, as previously observed.

Compare these results with those of Equation (2.22) for the same reactions in a batch reactor. The CSTR solutions do not require special forms when some of the rate constants are equal. A plot of outlet concentrations versus t is qualitatively similar to the behavior shown in Figure 2.2, and i can be chosen to maximize bout or Cout- However, the best values for t are different in a CSTR than in a PFR. For the normal case of bi = 0, the t that maximizes bout is a root-mean, t ix = rather than the log-mean of... 

FIGU RE 2.10 Plasma A-esterase activities of birds and mammals. Activities were originally measured as nanomoles product per milliliter of serum per minute, but they have been converted to relative activities (male rat = 1) and plotted on a log scale. Each point represents a mean value for a single species. Substrates , paraoxon , pirimiphos-methyl oxon. Vertical hues indicate limits of detection, and all points plotted to the left of them are for species in which no activity was detected. (Activities in the male rat were 61 4 and 2020 130 for paraoxon and pirimiphos-methyl oxon, respectively.) (From Walker 1994a in Hodgson and Levi 1994.)... 

Notwithstanding this. Table 1.2 clearly shows that the behavior of acetylchoHne reflected the physicochemical properties of the simulated media by adapting its property space. This is particularly evident when examining the Hpophilicity averages, since the polarity of acetylcholine increased in aU media compared to vacuum although the differences between the mean log P values were small, they were significant as assessed by their 99.9% confidence Hmits. 

Conversely, in a membrane model, acetylcholine showed mean log P values very similar to those exhibited in water. This was due to the compound remaining in the vicinity of the polar phospholipid heads, but the disappearance of extended forms decreased the average log P value somewhat. This suggests that an anisotropic environment can heavily modify the conformational profile of a solute, thus selecting the conformational clusters more suitable for optimal interactions. In other words, isotropic media select the conformers, whereas anisotropic media select the conformational clusters. The difference in conformational behavior in isotropic versus anisotropic environments can be explained considering that the physicochemical effects induced by an isotropic medium are homogeneously uniform around the solute so that all conformers are equally influenced by them. In contrast, the physicochemical effects induced by an anisotropic medium are not homogeneously distributed and only some conformational clusters can adapt to them. 

The excellent correlation between calculated and experimental log P values was obtained by vast investigations of the partitioning of simple chemicals in different mutually immiscible two-phase liquid systems by means of universal model based on the MOD theory [23] ... 

Delaney [4,14] and Klamt [16] argued that for drug-like compound datasets only about 20% of the variance of log S arises from AG s. This is further confirmed by the study of Wassvik et al. [15] in which 77% of the variance is due to the solubility of the supercooled liquid. Hence, applying crude estimates by mean values or by QSAR approaches we can reasonably expect that the inaccuracies introduced in dmg solubility prediction by our theoretical ignorance of AG s is less than, or at least not much bigger than, the inaccuracies introduced by the estimates of the larger park i.e. the liquid solubility, and by the experimental difficulties in solubility measurement.

In Fig. 1 the cumulative frequency of the measured mean values for induvidual houses is plotted on a log-normal scale. The aritmetric mean value in our measurements is 160 Bq/nP. Areas with high concentrations are overrepresented in this distribution, (as seen from the figure) and by population weighing the distribution for the municipalities, a population weighted average of 110 Bq/m in the heating season is obtained.
