Characteristic of a Common Logarithm of a Number. Every real positive number has a real common logarithm such that f a < b, log a < log b. Neither zero nor any negative number has a real logarithm. 

A common logarithm, in general, consists of an integer, which is called the characteristic, and a decimal (usually endless), which is called the mantissa. The characteristic of any number may be determined from the following rules ... 

The superpositioning of experimental and theoretical curves to evaluate a characteristic time is reminiscent of the time-tefnperature superpositioning described in Sec. 4.10. This parallel is even more apparent if the theoretical curve is drawn on a logarithmic scale, in which case the distance by which the curve has to be shifted measures log r. Note that the limiting values of the ordinate in Fig. 6.6 correspond to the limits described in Eqs. (6.46) and (6.47). Because this method effectively averages over both the buildup and the decay phases of radical concentration, it affords an experimentally less demanding method for the determination of r than alternative methods which utilize either the buildup or the decay portions of the non-stationary-state free-radical concentration.

As a starting point it is useful to plot the relationship between shear stress and shear rate as shown in Fig. 5.1 since this is similar to the stress-strain characteristics for a solid. However, in practice it is often more convenient to rearrange the variables and plot viscosity against strain rate as shown in Fig. 5.2. Logarithmic scales are common so that several decades of stress and viscosity can be included. Fig. 5.2 also illustrates the effect of temperature on the viscosity of polymer melts.

Now, since the random variable — m /jj has finite mean (=0) and variance (= 1), both its characteristic function and the logarithm of its characteristic function have finite first and second derivatives. It follows that In Mi1 mi)/ffl(i ) can be expanded in a Taylor series with remainder42 as follows43... 

The CMC also varies logarithmically with the characteristic volume of the monomeric surfactant molecule. Thus, Eq. 13, developed by Sowada and McGowan [91], can be used to predict the CMC ... 

Basic Interferometer Properties (1.6-9) Although the relationship between element aperture diameter, baseline, and wavelength is quite simple, it is instructive to visualise the influence of each of these characteristics. To this end, we consider a Young s interferometer with element diameters D = Im, a baseline B = 10m at a wavelength A = 1/nm in the animations. The intensity profile across the fringe pattern on the detector (screen) is shown with linear and logarithmic intensity scales in the lower two panels. The blue line represents the intensity pattern produced without interference by a single element. 

One of the apparent results of introducing couple stress is the size-dependent effect. If the problem scale approaches molecular dimension, this effect is obvious and can be characterized by the characteristic length 1. The size effect is a distinctive property while the film thickness of EHL is down to the nanometre scale, where the exponent index of the film thickness to the velocity does not remain constant, i.e., the film thickness, if plotted as a function of velocity in logarithmic scale, will not follow the straight line proposed by Ham-rock and Dowson. This bridges the gap between the lubrication theory and the experimental results. 

Equation 1.11 can be used to relate the dynamic behavior at one temperature Tj to that at another, T2, as illustrated in Figure 1.6. When the temperature is raised to T2, the curves are displaced laterally by the distance, log aj, on the logarithmic frequency axis, where log Oj now reflects the change in characteristic response frequency of molecular segments when the temperature is changed from Ti to T2. Thus, log aj is given by... 

Because of the convenient mathematical characteristics of the x -value (it is additive), it is also used to monitor the fit of a model to experimental data in this application the fitted model Y - ABS(/(x,. ..)) replaces the expected probability increment ACP (see Eq. 1.7) and the measured value y, replaces the observed frequency. Comparisons are only carried out between successive iterations of the optimization routine (e.g. a simplex-program), so that critical X -values need not be used. For example, a mixed logarithmic/exponential function Y=Al LOG(A2 + EXP(X - A3)) is to be fitted to the data tabulated below do the proposed sets of coefficients improve the fit The conclusion is that the new coefficients are indeed better. The y-column shows the values actually measured, while the T-columns give the model estimates for the coefficients A1,A2, and A3. The x -columns are calculated as (y- Y) h- Y. The fact that the sums over these terms, 4.783,2.616, and 0.307 decrease for successive approximations means that the coefficient set 6.499... yields a better approximation than either the initial or the first proposed set. If the x sum, e.g., 0.307,... 

One of the typical features of a (pseudo)-first order reaction is that a plot of the logarithm of the advancement of the reaction versus time (Fig. 2B) should give straight lines. However we observed deviation from linearity before the first half-life, in spite of the fact that another characteristic features of (pseudo)-first order reactions, namely that plots of the extent of reaction versus time were independant of the initial concentration (Fig. 3), was verified. We therefore investigated whether variation occured in the reaction conditions as a function of time.
