In addition, one other feature of the prefractionator arrangement is important in reducing mixing effects. Losses occur in distillation operations due to mismatches between the composition of the column feed and the composition on the feed tray. Because the prefractionator distributes component B top and bottom, this allows greater freedom to match the feed composition with one of the trays in the column to reduce mixing losses at the feed tray. 

The use of air-bome ultrasound for the excitation and reception of surface or bulk waves introduces a number of problems. The acoustic impedance mismatch which exists at the transducer/air and the air/sample interfaces is the dominant factor to be overcome in this system. Typical values for these three media are about 35 MRayls for a piezo-ceramic (PZT) element and 45 MRayls for steel, compared with just 0.0004 MRayls for air. The transmission coefficient T for energy from a medium 1 into a medium 2 is given by...

Accordingly, dissimilarity Da,b between two objects A and B is estimated by the number of mismatches or the difference between the objects, with respect to one or more of their characteristics j = 1. 2,. ..n. For identical objects, the... 

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. 

Following Bradshaw [17], we can give the definition of a similarity measure as follows Consider two objects A and B, a is the number of features (characteristics) present in A and absent in B, b is the number of features absent in A and present in B, c is the number of features common to both objects, and d is the number of features absent from both objects. Thus, c and d measure the present and the absent matches, respectively, i.e., similarity while a and b measure the corresponding mismatches, i.e., dissimilarity. The total ntunber of features is n = a + b + c + d. 

Consequently, we can construct a similarity measure intuitively in the following way all matches c -i- d relative to all possibilities, i.e., matches plus mismatches (c+ d) + (a -I- h), yields (c -t- d) / a + b+ c + d), which is called the simple matching coefficient [18], and equal weight is given to matches and mismatches. (Normalized similarity measures are called similarity indices or coefficients see, e.g.. Ref. [19].) When absence of a feature in both objects is deemed to convey no information, then d should not occur in a similarity measure. Omitting d from the above similarity measure, one obtains the Tanimoto (alias Jaccard) similarity measure (Eq. (8) see Ref. [16] and the citations therein) ... 

To construct dissimilarity measures, one uses mismatches Here a + b is the Hamming (Manhattan, taxi-cab, city-block) distance, and a + h) is the Euclidean distance.

Transfusion-induced autoimmune disease has been a significant complication in the treatment of patients who require multiple platelet transfusions. Platelets and lymphocytes carry their own blood group system, ie, the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, and it can be difficult to find an HLA matched donor. A mismatched platelet transfusion does not induce immediate adverse reactions, but may cause the patient to become refractory to the HLA type of the transfused platelets. The next time platelets with an HLA type similar to that of the transfused platelets are transfused, they are rejected by the patient and thus have no clinical efficacy. Exposure to platelets originating from different donors is minimized by the use of apheresis platelets. One transfusable dose (unit) of apheresis platelets contains 3-5 x 10 platelets. An equal dose of platelets from whole blood donation requires platelets from six to eight units of whole blood. Furthermore, platelets can be donated every 10 days, versus 10 weeks for whole blood donations.
