Several reasons can be enumerated for Interest in this specific kind of experiment [2]. One is that there are few effective means of observing directly the self-diffusion of macromolecules in bulk. Very small diffusion coefficients ( > lO V/s) and the necessity to mark or otherwise visualize individual macromolecules as they move mean that some extra ingenuity is required in experimental development. Interfacial diffusion studies have the potential to meet both of these requirements. Localization of the diffusion at an interface, and observation of events occuring nearby, reduces the diffusion distance and thereby... 

Table 12.5. Calculations required for Shipp s techniques and for three-month moving means...

However, one disadvantage of Shipp s report is that the Tables provided require a minimum of 10000 hours worked per month. This may make these Tables unsuitable for some organisations in which case a simpler method of showing injury trends diagrammatically can be used. This method is known as a moving mean in time and the necessary calculations are shown in the last three rows of Table 12.5. The method is as follows ... 

Drop the first of the months used (January) and add the next month (April) and work out a new moving mean (i.e. for February to April).

The quarterly moving mean for the data in Figure 2.5.7 is illustrated in Figure 2.5.9. Note that it is usual to plot both the actual monthly figures as well as the moving mean, and this has been done in Figure 2.5.9.

Finally, we defined the moving mean wavelet coherence in a similar way to the moving mean wavelet-phase stability ...
