Log removal value

MS2 Bacteriophage and Oocyst Chaiienge Test This test doses high concentrations of microorganisms into the feed and measures the particulate levels in the product. This is basically a research tool and permits the calculation of log removal values for the specific organism (DWI, 2001). 

Principal component analysis (PCA) of the soil physico-chemical or the antibiotic resistance data set was performed with the SPSS software. Before PCA, the row MPN values were log-ratio transformed (ter Braak and Smilauer 1998) each MPN was logio -transformed, then, divided by sum of the 16 log-transformed values. Simple linear regression analysis between scores on PCs based on the antibiotic resistance profiles and the soil physico-chemical characteristics was also performed using the SPSS software. To find the PCs that significantly explain variation of SFI or SEF value, multiple regression analysis between SFI or SEF values and PC scores was also performed using the SPSS software. The stepwise method at the default criteria (p=0.05 for inclusion and 0.10 for removal) was chosen. 

Fu et al. [16] analyzed a set of 57 compounds previously used by Lombardo and other workers also. Their molecular geometries were optimized using the semiempirical self-consistent field molecular orbital calculation AMI method. Polar molecular surface areas and molecular volumes were calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to obtain the correlation equations between the log BB values of the training set compounds and their structural parameters. The following model was generated after removing one outlier (Eq. 50) ... 

Significant dispersion of hexachlorobutadiene has been confirmed by the detection of hexachlorobutadiene at areas which are far removed from release sources (Class and Ballschmiter 1987). A high partition coefficient (log Ko=) value of 3.67 (Montgomery and Welkom 1990) for hexachlorobutadiene indicates that adsorption to soils with high organic carbon content can occur. Wind erosion of contaminated surface soils can then lead to airborne hexachlorobutadiene-containing particulate matter. Levels of hexachlorobutadiene have been detected in fly ash from the incineration of hexachlorobutadiene-containing hazardous waste (Junk... 

The importance of solvent in determining the stability of crown ether complexes can be seen in Table 2 in which log Ks values for Na+ and K+ complexes of crown ethers in different solvents are compared. The greater values of log Ks in methanol compared to water suggest that the stability of crown ether complexes is mainly enthalpic in origin. Cations are more strongly solvated in water than methanol and the solvation sphere must be removed before complexation can take place. 

If the waste is isolated in a geologic repository, the iodine form should be stable to at least 100°C and possibly at 250°C depending on the repository site. If the waste form satisfies the thermal stability requirement, the most likely release mechanism then becomes leaching in the event that groundwater contacts the immobilization form. Allard et al. (11) report log Kd values for silicate minerals ranging from -0.5 to -3.5. Fried et al. (12) found little retention of iodine (as iodide or iodate) by Los Alamos Tuff. Thus, once the Iodine has been removed by leaching, it will potentially move at the same velocity as the groundwater. 

Ehtylbenzene and 3-xylene (log Kow values of 3.15 and 3.20, respectively) were removed because they were outliers (R2 = 0.73 when included in the analysis) (data not shown). Their removal can be justified by the fact that for the highest concentrations tested, these compounds were found to be toxic to a luminescent metabolic biosensor of P. putida FI, and it may be assumed that they were toxic to P. putida TVA8 accordingly. As a consequence of the removal of these data, there is a significant gap of chemicals for octanol-water partition coefficients between 2.73 and 4.90. 

Since the distribution of the log-transformed data after removing these outliers satisfied the Shapiro Wilk normality test (Fig. 8. A2b), the cut point determination for these validation data was made using the parametric method (i.e., mean + 1.645 x SD). The threshold 1.645 for normally distributed data ensures 5% false-positive rate. This cut point of the log-transformed values of the sample replicate means was determined for each analyst, each assay run, and for all the data combined (Table 8.A2). 

Transformation products tend to have lower fCowvalues, and, hence, would tend to be removed to an even lesser extent. As an example of the impact of these varied log fCow values on the adsorption capacity of Norit HDB PAC,... 

The utilization of complexes with triflate replacing hexafluorophosphate indeed gave complexes which in nitrobenzene now displayed reversible O2 affinity, ie. the O2 could be removed by purging the solutions with nitrogen. This is seen quantitatively in Table 1. For complexes [Co(terpy)(L)X]Y (as defined in the Table) log K02 values of the order of ca. 4.8 or lower correspond to the above described observable O2 reversibility. This is realized either in acetonitrile solutions, or in the less coordinating solvent nitrobenzene in the presence of anions of varying donor character. Specifically,...
