A tube manufacturer wanted to investigate the possibility for on-line measurement, calculation and presentation of eccentricity values on aluminum tubes when drawn at high velocities. Based on our experience from development of tube inspection systems [1, 2] for off-line inspection of precision tubes, a project was formulated. The main specifications for the tube manufacturing are summarized below ... 

Usually, the denominator, if present in a similarity measure, is just a normalizet it is the numerator that is indicative of whether similarity or dissimilarity is being estimated, or both. The characteristics chosen for the description of the objects being compared are interchangeably called descriptors, properties, features, attributes, qualities, observations, measurements, calculations, etc. In the formiilations above, the terms matches and mismatches" refer to qualitative characteristics, e.g., binary ones (those which take one of two values 1 (present) or 0 (absent)), while the terms overlap and difference" refer to quantitative characteristics, e.g., those whose values can be arranged in order of magnitude along a one-dimensional axis. 

As mentioned earlier some measures will be chosen because improvements in these areas were part of the project justification. It is most likely that these will be efficiency measures. Calculation of these measures generally requires analysis of data or specific data collection exercises. There is a relatively high cost associated with preparing these measures so they should be used prudently. In choosing efficiency measures, you should use only those where you have comparative data about the current management systems. For example, if there is no information on the number of hours dedicated to PSM and ESH, don t use this to try to demonstrate the improvement in efficiency. 

It is difficult to measure the enthalpy change of this reaction. However, standard enthalpies of combustion reactions are easy to measure. Calculate the standard enthalpy of this reaction from the following experimental data ... 

Record the results of each of the following calculations in Data Table 1. 1. From the masses you measured, calculate the mass of 25 split peas. 

Obtain a baseline serum creatinine measurement. Calculate the estimated creatinine clearance and adjust the dose of H2RAs and sucralfate according to package insert recommendations. 

In contrast with the individual ion activity coefficients fit the mean activity coefficient ft can be measured, calculation of which can be achieved through eqn. 2.46 as follows ... 

For the different values of pAHX and pA H+ see the summary Table 4.5 later of pKa data in various solvents of low e in comparison with pAa(H20). The mutual agreement of pffHX values obtained by spectrophotometry, DVP, potentiometry and titration was reasonably good the typical form of the curves for titration of the dinitrophenols with TMG can be explained by homoconjugation and more especially by its influence on the potentiometric measurements, calculated on the basis of simple dissociation hence the major discrepancies in the spectrophotometric and potentiometric pK values. In order to...

In a freeze drying plant automated in this way, the desorption rates and the desorbable water content (in % of solids) can be measured, calculated and documented. 

In Pharmaceutical and Clinical Calculations, second edition, Drs. Mansoor Khan and Indra Reddy have provided a contemporary resource that can help pharmacy students learn the basic principles of how to accurately interpret prescriptions and medication orders, measure, calculate and compound quality dosage forms. In the latter chapters, the student can learn multiple methods to accurately and safely dose patients. The computational methods to accomplish these ends are clearly presented, and the examples used to demonstrate the concepts are relevant to contemporary practice. Pharmacy students will... 

EXAMS (Exposure alysis Modeling stem) is an elaborate computer program that predicts the fate of organic chemicals in aquatic systems (24). Most input data can be easily measured, calculated, or obtained from literature sources. For this reason, the program is readily accessible to chemists for use as a predictive tool. 

The evenness measurement, calculated from the Shannon-Wiener formula, suggests that trees which have an uneven distribution of terpenes are more resistant to the budworm. It is likely that this Imbalance In the terpene distribution Is represented by the specific terpenes (acetate fraction, myrcene, and the unidentified terpene) that were found to be important In the analysis. The analysis also Indicated that the polyphenol and protein complexlng capacity of the extracts from the foliage...

The characteristic ratio of atactic polylferf.-butyl vinyl ketone) is determined from light scattering and viscosimetry measurements, and at 300 K in benzene the dipole moment ratio and its temperature coefficient are measured. Calculations of Ca and Da based on a two-state RIS model, with parameters independently derived from a previously developed semiempirical potential energy surface and from epimerization equilibrium measurements for dimeric and trimeric oligomers, are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The predicted temperature coefficient is positive but lower in magnitude than that observed. 

Exactly 0.01-mol portions of glycine were placed in several 100-ml volumetric flasks. The following exact amounts of HC1 or NaOH were added to the flasks, the solutions were made to volume with water, mixed, and the pH measured. Calculate the pfCa values for the carboxyl and amino groups from the following, making as many independent calculations of each pKa as the data permit. At low pH values you must correct for the free hydrogen ion concentration (see question 2c).581... 

NH2CH2COO" (aq.). Louguinine1 found Q=2.97 for the reaction of aqueous aminoacetic acid with aqueous OH- to form aqueous glycinate, or aminoacetate, ion. Branch and Miyamoto,1 from conductivity measurements, calculated the heat of ionization of aqueous aminoacetic acid into aqueous H+ and aqueous glycinate ion to be —10.70.
