Discounting can also be performed, of course, using a programmable calculator or a spreadsheet such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Microsoft Excel. 

The 16-bit and 32-bit software for eddy current testing using PC measurement cards manufactured by SOFRATEST, France, is presented in this article. Microsoft Visual C/C++ Development System and Tools have been used. 

Finally, the system should be operated from an industrial PC, using a Microsoft Windows based graphic user interface. 

We are confident that any user of this combined evaluation technique, as well as the development of future test standards for manual ultrasonic testing will benefit from this result, because it allows a greater flexibility in the applicable method without loosing reliability. Often an expensive production of a reference block can be avoided and therefore testing costs are reduced. Since all calculations are performed by a PC, the operator can fully concentrate on his most important duty scanning the workpiece and observing the A-scan. Additional time will be saved for the test documentation, since all testing results are stored in the instrument s memory (the PC s hard drive) with full link to the Software World (Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.). 

The text form for parameters uses white space or commas to separate the fields (columns) of the parameter tiles. They can be read by ordinary text editors, w ord processors, etc. In the text form, param eters are easy to m odify but not easy to com pare, stn dy, etc. Many database program s are capable of reading column s of text as a database, h owever. Wh ile spreadsheets are n ot. per se, databases, they can be useful for examining parameter sets. Microsoft Excel, for example, can read the text form of a param eter file and pn t the data in a form easily manipulated as a matrix or a database. The text form of parameters are stored, by default only, in Tart files. 

The dBASEIV (ordBASEIIT) form of th e parameter sets come in ld( /filcs analogous to the Tt,v( files. Th ese dbf files are bin ary files, so yon can t read them directly. They arenot retpiired for the product and are provided only as an option. In most situations where there is no exten sive use of database operation s on parameter sets, the text form is probably more convenient to use. Many spreadsheet programs, including Microsoft Excel, are also capable of reading files. 

Sin ce the Molecu lar Dynamics Results window con lain ing plots is a true window, an image of it alone can be captured into the clipboard or a file using Top-level in the File/Preferences/Setiip Image dialog box. Th is captured image, in addition to shtnving the molecular dynamics plots, shows the Restart and Done buttons, etc. If you on ly want the plots, you can erase the details of the box with a paint program, such as Microsoft Windows Pain thru sh which comes with Microsoft Windows.

The property calculation experiment offers a list of 34 molecular properties, including thermodynamic, electrostatic, graph theory, geometric properties, and Lipinski properties. These properties are useful for traditional QSAR activity prediction. Some are computed with MOPAC others are displayed in the browser without units. A table of computed properties can be exported to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

ISI is available in hard copy and electronically at EPA s headquarters and regional Hbraries, and through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The electronic form may be installed on IBM PC-compatible computers or placed on local area networks, and mn under Microsoft WINDOWS or WordPerfect s Library program. The Macintosh version is no longer available. The 1993 update will include the ISI hardcopy, PC disks, and the PC system user manual. EPA also pubHshes ACCESS EPA, which provides sources of information, databases, and pubHcations within the EPA. Chapter 5 of that pubhcation includes important environmental databases in air and soHd waste, pesticides and toxic substances, water, and cross-program (110). EPA also provides databases accessible through EPA Hbraries, which describe the private EPA and commercial databases available to Hbrary users (111). 

Electronic mail and electronic conferencing services are not counted as separate databases, but when such electronic services are included with a database they are counted as aspects of the associated database and the database is classified accordingly. Several commercial online services make software databases available online, eg, the Microsoft Programmers Library, MacTutor, and Atari RoundTable. Several producers offer CD-ROM databases containing software. Such software databases contain the coding and documentation for software packages and so are classified as software databases. These are different from directories of software that are classed as directory databases. 

This monograph could not have been produced without the expert assistance of Mr David Clarke who has spent many hours to load the necessary fonts in the computer, and for advising one of the authors (W.L.F.A.) on how to use them together with the idiosyncrasies of Microsoft Word.

Nonlinear least squares curve fitting using the Microsoft Solver is reviewed in Appendix B. 

The fractional conversions in terms of both the mass balance and heat balance equations were calculated at effluent temperatures of 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, and 475 K, respectively. A Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (Example6-ll.xls) was used to calculate the fractional conversions at varying temperature. Table 6-7 gives the results of the spreadsheet calculation and Eigure 6-24 shows profiles of the conversions at varying effluent temperature. The figure shows that die steady state values are (X, T) = (0.02,300), (0.5,362), and (0.95,410). The middle point is unstable and die last point is die most desirable because of die high conversion. 

The Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet (OPTIMUM62.xls) was used to determine T p for varying values of (0.1 < X < 0.99). Table 6-11 gives the results of the spreadsheet calculation, and Figure 6-33 shows the profile of T p against X. Figure 6-33 gives the same profile as Type 1. 

A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (Example 7-ll.xls) was developed for predicting the jacket temperature required for either heating up or cooling down reactants in a batch reactor. 

A non-linear regression analysis is employed using die Solver in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to determine die values of and in die following examples. Example 1-5 (Chapter 1) involves the enzymatic reaction in the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide and Example 11-1 deals with the interconversion of D-glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The Solver (EXAMPLEll-l.xls and EXAMPLEll-3.xls) uses the Michaehs-Menten (MM) formula to compute v i- The residual sums of squares between Vg(,j, and v j is then calculated. Using guessed values of and the Solver uses a search optimization technique to determine MM parameters. The values of and in Example 11-1 are ... 

The charge amount to the reactor is 480 kg. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (EXAMPLE12-2.xls) was developed for this example.
