Parametrical Analysis

Now the momentum and energy equations for steady flow in a heated capillary are 

Equation (10.50) postulates equality of the velocity due to liquid evaporation u l and the velocity due to the capillary and pressure forces Ml. 

The solution of Eq. (10.50) determines the steady states of the liquid velocity, as well as the position of the meniscus in a heated micro-channel. Equation (10.50) can have one, two or three steady solutions. This depends on the value of the parameter (in the generic case parameter B), which takes into account the effect of the capillary forces. 

Consider the possible regimes of flow corresponding to 1 and l. We refer to the first regime as semi-filled, whereas the second one is filled.  

The change of velocify due to liquid evaporation l and influence of the capillary forces L versus Xf for 1 is illustrated in Fig. 10.6. In the case 2 1 the curves L(Xf) and L(xf) have only one point of intersection, which determines the stationary values of ml = L.st and Xf = Xf,st. It is not difficult to show that this point is stable. Indeed a displacement of the meniscus from its initial position Xf,st to the position x[ ) leads to the situation, when the velocity due to the liquid evaporation Hl exceeds the velocity due to the capillary force u[. This leads to the return of the meniscus to its initial position. If the meniscus displaces to the left, u, this also leads to the return of the system to its initial state.

NAA is a quantitative method. Quantification can be performed by comparison to standards or by computation from basic principles (parametric analysis). A certified reference material specifically for trace impurities in silicon is not currently available. Since neutron and y rays are penetrating radiations (free from absorption problems, such as those found in X-ray fluorescence), matrix matching between the sample and the comparator standard is not critical. Biological trace impurities standards (e.g., the National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Rference Material, SRM 1572 Citrus Leaves) can be used as reference materials. For the parametric analysis many instrumental fiictors, such as the neutron flux density and the efficiency of the detector, must be well known. The activation equation can be used to determine concentrations ...

The COMPACT (computer-optimized molecular parametric analysis of chemical toxicity) procedure, developed by Lewis and co-workers [92], uses a form of discriminant analysis based on two descriptors, namely, molecular planarity and electronic activation energy (the difference between the energies of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals), which predict the potential of a compound to act as a substrate for one of the cytochromes P450. Lewis et al. [93] found 64% correct predictions for 100 compounds tested by the NTP for mutagenicity.

It should be clearly understood that for data that do not fulfill the necessary assumptions for parametric analysis, these nonparametric methods are either as powerful or in fact, more powerful than the equivalent parametric test. 

Consideration of the white blood cell (WBC) and differential counts leads to another problem. The total WBC is, typically, a normal population amenable to parametric analysis, but differential counts are normally determined by counting, manually, one or more sets of one hundred cells each. The resulting relative percentages of neutrophils are then reported as either percentages or are multiplied by the total WBC count with the resulting count being reported as the absolute differential WBC. Such data, particularly in the case of eosinophils (where the distribution does not approach normality), should usually be analyzed by nonpara-metric methods. It is widely believed that relative (%) differential data should not be reported because they are likely to be misleading. 

Flow cytometry (FCM) is widely used for exploring mechanism of action of compounds that compromise proliferation since it is rapid, accurate and usable for any cellular context [5], In this chapter we want to point out technical and strategic aspects of use of FCM for cell cycle studies of a putative anticancer agent. As an example we used Edotecarin, a topi inhibitor, firstly evaluating proliferation outcome and classical DNA content analysis by propidium iodide, and then since the compound treatment produced cell cycle perturbation difficult to interprete, a two-parametric analysis by 5-bromo-deoxyuridine (BrdU) was applied for separating cell cycle phases. Moreover we put our efforts into identifing specific cell cycle arrest not easily demonstrable by previously described methods, through the use of in vitro kinetics ( pulse and chase ). Finally, in vivo assessment of efficacy and biomarkers modulation after treatment was analyzed.

Numerical analysis has shown that the periodic activity in integral tubular reactors is restricted to quite low Peclet numbers 50). As a result such reactors may be rather considered as differential reactors. Unfortunately, so far, the detailed parametric analysis of the oscillations in tubular reactors is missing.

Thus the mechanism formed by steps (l)-(4) can be called the simplest catalytic oscillator. [Detailed parametric analysis of model (35) was recently provided by Khibnik et al. [234]. The two-parametric plane (k2, k 4/k4) was divided into 23 regions which correspond to various types of phase portraits.] Its structure consists of the simplest catalytic trigger (8) and linear "buffer , step (4). The latter permits us to obtain in the three-dimensional phase space oscillations between two stable branches of the S-shaped kinetic characteristics z(q) for the adsorption mechanism (l)-(3). The reversible reaction (4) can be interpreted as a slow reversible poisoning (blocking) of... 

THOMPSON and MAGUIRE [1993] have compared sampling and analytical error for the example of trace metals in soils. They demonstrate that to obtain valuable information on the magnitude of sampling and analytical errors the application of robust nested analysis of variance is to be preferred to classical parametric analysis of variance.

MultiCASE) (Dearden et al., 1997 Klopman and Rosenkranz, 1994). A further system is Computerized Optimized Parametric Analysis of Chemical Toxicity (COMPACT) (Lewis et al., 1994). The latter analyses the ability of a molecule to fit into the active site of the CYP1A1 isozyme of cytochrome P450 (CYP) (and some other CYP isozymes), by modeling molecular shape (planarity or area/depth) and chemical reactivity (covalent bond formation). The use of COMPACT is limited to molecules that are activated by these CYP enzymes.
