Protein engineering is now routinely used to modify protein molecules either via site-directed mutagenesis or by combinatorial methods. Factors that are Important for the stability of proteins have been studied, such as stabilization of a helices and reducing the number of conformations in the unfolded state. Combinatorial methods produce a large number of random mutants from which those with the desired properties are selected in vitro using phage display. Specific enzyme inhibitors, increased enzymatic activity and agonists of receptor molecules are examples of successful use of this method. 

Like other step-growth polymerization methods, factors such as the monomer purity, ratio of the monomers, conversion, temperature, and concentration will greatly influence the transition metal coupling polymerization. These factors have to be taken into account when higher molecular weight polymers need to be prepared.33... 

The authors wanted to select indicators that specifically tap melancholic depression. To evaluate this construct, a principal components analysis of the joint pool of K-SADS and BDI items was performed. Two independent statistical tests suggested a two-component solution, but the resulting components appeared to reflect method factors, rather than substantive factors. Specifically, all of the BDI items loaded on the first component (except for three items that did not load on either component) and nearly all of the K-SADS items loaded on the second component. In fact, the first component correlated. 98 with the BDI and the second component correlated. 93 with the K-SADS. Ambrosini et al., however, concluded that the first component reflected depression severity and the second component reflected melancholic depression. This interpretation was somewhat at odds with the data. Specifically, the second component included some K-SADS items that did not tap symptoms of melancholia (e.g., irritability and anger) and did not include some BDI items that measure symptoms of melancholia (e.g., loss of appetite). 

Following the development of a candidate separation method there are many method factors, such as detection wavelength, sample...

Qualitative factors are also frequently considered in a robustness test. " For CE methods, factors such as the batch or manufacturer of the capillary, reagent or solvent can be selected. When evaluating the influence of such qualitative factor, the analyst should be aware that the estimated effect is only valid or representative for the examined discrete levels and not for any other level of that factor, and certainly not for the whole population. For example, when examining two capillaries X and Y, the estimated effect only allows drawing conclusions about these two capillaries and not about other capillaries available on the market. Such approach allows evaluating whether capillary Y is an alternative for capillary X, used, for instance, to develop the method. 

There are a number of different types of source apportionment models, including the chemical mass balance method, factor analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and Lagrangian modeling. The chemical... 

To optimize the process of isomerization of sulphanylamide from Problem 2.6, a screening experiment has been done by the random balance method. Factors X1 X2 and X3 have been selected for this experiment. Optimization of the process is done by the given three factors at fixed values of other factors. To obtain the second-order model, a central composite rotatable design has been set up. Factor-variation levels are shown in Table 2.148. The design of the experiment and the outcomes of design points are in Table 2.149.

However, when these requirements are fulfilled the MIPs can be directly used in extraction columns or cartridges in combination with existing instrumentation. High target affinity and selectivity translates to lower detection limits, shorter analysis times and cheaper instrumentation in the resulting method, factors that are likely to lead to a widespread use of these phases in the near future. 

For many years, and particularly in its earlier developmental stages, irradiation was a technology looking for applications and finding a community reluctance to embrace and exploit its immense potential. This is now changing rapidly. Properly used, the method gives reliable responses, which are a prerequisite for quarantine applications. Currently, there do not appear to be any economic incentives as such for irradiation, and other factors will determine whether it becomes used as a treatment method - factors such as unavailability of any other treatment for whatever reason. The USDA-APHIS recently permitted test shipments of... 

The structured approach presented in Stefek provides a solution to this problem. In this method, factor retnrns are decomposed into a global component and a purely local component, exactly as we already decomposed asset retnrns into systematic and nonsystematic returns. For instance, in the sterling market we can write...
