A similar form of indicator is the Profitability Index (PI), where the denominator is the maximum exposure of the project, and is applicable where the company is sensitive to the maximum exposure e.g. 

Homogeneity of data. Homogeneous data will be uniform in structure and composition, usually possible to describe with a fixed number of parameters. Homogeneous data is encountered in simple NDT inspection, e.g. quality control in production. Inhomogeneous data will contain various combinations of indications from construction elements, defects and noise sources. An example of inhomogenous data are ultrasonic B-scan images as described in [Hopgood, 1993] or as encountered in the ultrasonic rail-inspection system described later in this paper. 

Fig. 1. Dependence of indications- Wirotest (a) on the tensile stress in a bar 33 mm made of steel 55...

Fig. 3 shows results of Wirotest 202 A indications as a function of compressive stress for cylindrical samples d> 18 mm made of steel LH 15, what is turn indieates that the dependence of indications on compressive stress is linear in the range up to 180 MPa with regard of quenched (1) and up 120 MPa with regard to annealed (2) samples. 

In the annealed cylinder the presence of own compressive stress has been observed, which was disclosed as lack of indications changes in the initial stretching phase, and their value may be evaluated on the basis of extrapolating the graphs to the coordinate axis. 

In Fig, 4. measurement results of a pin of dimensions 46/15,5 have been shown as a function of tensile and compressive stress using the Wirotest , where the course of the graph of these dependence on the load in the linear scope of indications is similar to the compressive as well as the tensile stress. 

The calibration graph for the probe using a strength machine, has been shown in Fig. 7 It can be observed that the dependence of indications of the device of Wirotest type on the loading is linear within the proportionality limit scope. After unloading the indications do not return to zero, but show own stress caused in effect of plastic deformation of the tested sample... 

For applications on indications it is assumed that the visibility level VL of rectangular objects (indications) is the same as for circles with the same area. The lenght 1 and width w of indications are correlated in very different manners, mainly dependant on the geometrie of the inhomogenity (crack). From some observations, the following correlation between w and 1 was introduced w (mm) = 0.05 + 0.03 1 (e g. 1=1.5 mm, w a 0.1 mm). For the same areas, the length 1 of the indication can be introduced in Fig. 1 as a second scale. 

In order to check the the validity of this method [8], 6 detection media Px where selected and applied on the reference pieces following the instructions of the standard (inclination angle 45° 3 applications of the detection medium and averaging). The arrangements of the cuts can be seen at Fig. 3. Indications or parts of indications are chosen for the valuation and marked by dashed lines. 

The nominal visibility level VL om was determined from the viewing conditions of indications as decribed in 2.2 (Fig. 1). Assuming that this VL o , is equivalent to the VL with nominal inspection parameters, for the worst case of any inspection parameter the relative reduction R of the visibility of the indications was determined and summarized to the overall visibility level VLmin. Naturally the following data may be varied and/or completed. 

It can be concluded, that indications with lengths of more than about 1.5 mm can be detected with high probability (100%). This confirms with the recommended smallest acceptance level (optimum conditions) of 1.5 mm (registration level) in various product standards (e g. as [10]). It is self evident that smaller indications (1 = 0.6 mm) will be detected too, but the correlations explained above, clearely indicates a decreasing probability of detection with decreasing length of indications. 

A two-dimensional slice may be taken either parallel to one of the principal co-ordinate planes (X-Y, X-Z and Y-Z) selected from a menu, or in any arbitrary orientation defined on screen by the user. Once a slice through the data has been taken, and displayed on the screen, a number of tools are available to assist the operator with making measurements of indications. These tools allow measurement of distance between two points, calculation of 6dB or maximum amplitude length of a flaw, plotting of a 6dB contour, and textual aimotation of the view. Figure 11 shows 6dB sizing and annotation applied to a lack of fusion example. 

From tests with Level-2-inspectors [2, 3] we learn that 10 % of the errors in weld testing are caused hy too fast probe movements (indications are missed or overlooked), 34 % by too strong coupling variations (underestimation of indications) or coupling failures and 56 % by incomplete scanning (untested areas). 

As the number of atoms in the asyimnetric unit increases, the solution of a structure by any of these phase-independent methods becomes more difficult, and by 1950 a PhD thesis could be based on a single crystal structure. At about that time, however, several groups observed that the fact that the electron density must be non-negative everywhere could be exploited to place restrictions on possible phases. The first use of this fact was by D Marker and J S Kasper [24], but their relations were special cases of more general relations introduced by J Karle and H Hauptman [25]. Denoting by A. the set of indices h., k., /., the Karle-Hauptman condition states that all matrices of the fonu... 

Titration. The solution of ammonia absorbed in saturated boric acid may now be titrated as an alkali directly with 0 025 A.HCl (best obtained by dilution of commercially available standard A.HCl in a graduated flask). Three drops of indicator (mixed methyl-red/methyl-ene-blue being most satisfactory) are added to the liquid in the receiver and the 0 025 A.HCl run in from an accurate burette. 

One variation of rule-based systems are fuzzy logic systems. These programs use statistical decision-making processes in which they can account for the fact that a specific piece of data has a certain chance of indicating a particular result. All these probabilities are combined in order predict a final answer.

In Table 8.26, E° represents the redox potential at which the color change of the indicator would normally be perceived in a solution containing approximately 1A7H+. Lor a one-color indicator this is the potential at which the concentration of the colored form is just large enough to impart a visible color to the solution and depends on the total concentration of indicator added to the solution. If it is the reduced form of the indicator that is colorless, the potential at which the first visible color...
