Other ratios

C N (or carbohydrate protein) ratios are important with respect to the relative requirements of plants and microbes. Straw has a C N value of approximately 80 1, whereas after ploughing under to form a humus-rich soil, the value narrows to about 12 1. Albrecht found that the humus fraction of the experimental Sanborn Field, cultivated over 50 years, had a C N ratio of about from 2 1 to 3.4 1, where the lower ratio is similar to that of the microbes themselves. Therefore, if microbes feed on straw that has been incorporated into the soil, they will require an additional source of nitrogen, and happen to be more successful at competing with plants for the same nutrient. In Missouri clay, Albrecht found 1.5% C and 0.15% N, which represents a favourable ratio of 10 1, and is an average value for well-weathered soils (Walters, 1989). 

It is recognized that crop response to applied N is below the optimum unless there is a sufficient supply of potash. Although specific ratios are not given, there is helpful information in free leaflets, including PDA (1999a, b) and PDA (2001), obtainable from the Potash Development Association http //www.pda.org.uk 

Albrecht recognized that trace elements are significant for plants, but are present in such small amounts that our measures yet designed are too unreliable to warrant specifications of them for either soil or crop (Albrecht, 1963, and in Walters, 1989). Analytical techniques have since improved sufficiently to allow such measurements, but we are unable to find recommended amounts or ratios in Albrecht s research. He did find, however, that a BCSR of 2% K was the limit for uptake by plants unless B was present at a level of 

1 mg kg when the limit increased to a maximum of 20% K (Albrecht, 1960, and in Walters, 1989). A lack of boron prevented the formation of nodules on lucerne, but its presence increased the content of tryptophane and lysine. 

Current organic farming methods seek to reduce bought-in manures to a minimum, but some fertilizers are allowed as permitted inputs on a restricted basis (Lampkin and Measures, 1999). In general, only fertilizers that release nutrients through an intermediate process, such as chemical weathering or the activity of soil organisms are allowed (Stockdale et ai, 2000).

Commercial primary amyl alcohol is a mixture of 1-pentanol and 2-methyl-1-butanol, iu a ratio of ca 65 to 35 (available from Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastics Company Inc. iu other ratios upon request). Typical physical properties of this amyl alcohol mixture are Hsted iu Table 2 (17). 

Other ratios can easily be deduced from those hsted. For example, the return on assets (ROA) and the asset-turnover ratio (ATR) are... 

In any circumstances, it can be expected that and (5x are algebraic functions of turbulence length scale and kinetic energy, as well as chemical and molecular quantities of the mixture. Of course, it is expedient to determine these in terms of relevant dimensionless quantities. The simplest possible formula, in the case of very fast chemistry, i.e., large Damkohler number Da = (Sl li)/ SiU ) and large Reynolds Re = ( Ij)/ (<5l Sl) and Peclet numbers, i.e., small Karlovitz number Ka = sjRej/Da will be Sj/Sl =f(u / Sl), but other ratios are also quite likely to play a role in the general case. 

Figure 8a shows the turbidity measurements for different guest residues in ELP [VgX2l. Lower transition temperatures (Tt) correlate with increased hydrophobicity of the guest residue [24, 25]. This data was extrapolated to other ratios of VahXaa (Fig. 8b). The transition temperature could also be influenced by the molecular weight of the ELP. The Tt was shown to increase with decreasing polymer length (Fig. 8c) [23, 26].

In all monomer systems studied a maximum polymerization rate was observed at an equimolar ratio of the starting monomers when the probability of the formation of the complex and its concentration are higher than for other ratios. 

The risk characterization procedure will result in a quantitative comparison per substance of the outcome of the exposure assessment and of the effects assessment. This comparison is made through the ratio PEC/PNEC. The generic name for PEC/ PNEC in EUSES is risk characterization ratio (RCR). Other ratios are used in EUSES for the risk characterization such as the margin of safety (MOS) or the ratio of the estimated no-effect or effect level parameter to the estimated exposure level for human subpopulations and the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). 

By plotting the measured rate constant versus the undissociated acid concentration, one obtains for this type of catalysis a straight line with intercept kx and slope ax = (/cHA + kA-/q). If the procedure is repeated for other ratios, enough information is obtained to permit evaluation of /cHA and kA-. The hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentrations corresponding to a given ratio q may be determined from equation 7.3.12 and the dissociation constant for water. 

Add CDI-mPEG to this solution with stirring to bring the final concentration of the activated polymer to 180 mM. Note Other ratios of polymer-to-protein may be used, depending on the modification level desired. Some optimization of the derivatization level may have to be done to obtain conjugates having the best amount of polymer substitution with retention of protein activity. 

Add 10 mg of the protein to be coupled to the dextran solution. Other ratios of dextran-to-protein may be used as appropriate. For instance, if more than one protein or a protein plus a smaller molecule are both to be conjugated to the dextran backbone, the amount of protein added initially may have to be scaled back to allow the second molecule to be coupled latter. Many times, a small molecule such as a drug will be coupled to the dextran polymer first, and then a targeting protein such as an antibody conjugated secondarily. The optimal ratio of components forming the dextran conjugate should be determined experimentally to obtain the best combination possible. 

Have you wondered about those funny curves drawn over the NMR peaks They re electronic integrations and they can tell you how many protons there are at each chemical shift. Measure the distances between the horizontal lines just before and just after each group. With a cheap plastic ruler I get 52 mm for the benzene ring protons, 21 mm for the —CH2— protons, and about 30 mm for the —CH3 protons. Now you divide all the values by the smallest one. Well, 21 mm is the smallest, and without a calculator I get 2.47 1 1.43. Not even close. And how do you get that 0.47 or 0.43 proton Try for the simplest whole number ratio. Multiply everything by 2, and you ll have 4.94 2 2.86. This is very close to 5 2 3, the actual number of protons in ethylbenzene. Use other whole numbers the results are not as good and you can t justify the splitting pattern—3 split BY 2 and 2 split BY 3—with other ratios. Don t use each piece of information in a vacuum. 

This type of extraction can be carried out in two different ways. A soil sample can be brought into the laboratory and extracted with relatively large amounts of water to try to determine its inorganic composition. The water-to-soil ratio can be either on a mass-to-mass basis or a volume-to-mass ratio. A one-to-one ratio is commonly used, although other ratios have been used. After a designated extraction time, with or without shaking, water is filtered from the soil and analyzed. A typical water extraction of soil is given in Procedure 11.1. 

Rates are most often expressed as unit rates. The keyword for rates is per. Speed is known as miles per hour and is actually a rate that means miles per one hour. In the same way, unit price, dollars per pound means dollars per one pound. Unit rates are easier to work with than other ratios, because the denominator is always 1, and so the denominator has no effect when performing cross-multiplication. 

The pheromone chemistry of A. hilare has been studied in detail, using both laboratory (vertical Y-tube) and field bioassays [75]. In Y-tube bioassays, mature females were attracted by male odors, but males were not attractive to other males, and females were not attractive to either sex. Males produced (-)-cis-Z-BAE and (-)-frazzs-Z-BAE in a -19 1 ratio, and other compounds in the extracts were not active. The 19 1 blend was more attractive to females than other ratios, and the individual components were not attractive, indicating that both compounds were required. Females were attracted to the synthetic blend in field cage trials [75],but as with most other phytophagous pentatomids,few bugs were caught in pheromone-baited traps (J.G. Millar and H.M. McBrien, unpublished data). 

The first modem observations of Mo isotope fractionations in geological materials were made using this method (Barling et al. 2001), employing Zr and Ru spikes with online correction for isobaric interferences from these spikes (Anbar et al. 2001). Precision of 0.25%o was reported in measurement of 8 Mo, with comparable results for other ratios. 

Other ratios measure creditworthiness. One such measure is the debt-to-equity ratio ... 

The results of the metals concentration of the three reagent ratios did not vary significantly from each other. Ratio B was chosen as optimal when examining all factors, i.e. UCS, material handling and characteristics and economics. 

It should be emphasized that the criterion for macroscopic character is based on independent properties only. (The importance of properly enumerating the number of independent intensive properties will become apparent in the discussion of the Gibbs phase rule, Section 5.1). For example, from two independent extensive variables such as mass m and volume V, one can obviously form the ratio m/V (density p), which is neither extensive nor intensive, nor independent of m and V. (That density cannot fulfill the uniform value throughout criterion for intensive character will be apparent from consideration of any 2-phase system, where p certainly varies from one phase region to another.) Of course, for many thermodynamic purposes, we are free to choose a different set of independent properties (perhaps including, for example, p or other ratio-type properties), rather than the base set of intensive and extensive properties that are used to assess macroscopic character. But considerable conceptual and formal simplifications result from choosing properties of pure intensive (R() or extensive QQ character as independent arguments of thermodynamic state functions, and it is important to realize that this pure choice is always possible if (and only if) the system is macroscopic.

There are many fluorocomplexes of aluminum. The general formula for the fluoroaluminates is M I, I, a I- based upon A1F6 octohedra. which may share comers to give other ratios of A1 F than 1 6. Chloroaluminates of the type M lAlClj] are obtainable from fused melts. Aluminum ions form chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-complexes containing tetrahedral IALX41 ions. However, in sodium aluminum fluoride NaAlF4, the aluminum atoms are in the centers of octohedra of fluorine atoms in which the fluorine atoms are shared with neighboring aluminum atoms.
