Project screening means checking that the predicted economic performance of a project passes a prescribed threshold or hurdle . Investors commonly apply a screening value to the project, which is a chosen IRR at a chosen oil price (for example, 20% IRR at 20/bbl). Provided the project IRR exceeds the hurdle rate the project is considered further, otherwise it is rejected in current form. 

The probes are assumed to be of contact type but are otherwise quite arbitrary. To model the probe the traction beneath it is prescribed and the resulting boundary value problem is first solved exactly by way of a double Fourier transform. To get managable expressions a far field approximation is then performed using the stationary phase method. As to not be too restrictive the probe is if necessary divided into elements which are each treated separately. Keeping the elements small enough the far field restriction becomes very week so that it is in fact enough if the separation between the probe and defect is one or two wavelengths. As each element can be controlled separately it is possible to have phased arrays and also point or line focussed probes. 

The purpose of the nondestructive control consists in detecting local modifications of the material parameters which, by their presence can endanger the quality of the half-finished or finished products. The electromagnetic nondestructive control permits to render evident surface and subsurface discontinuities in the electroconductive material under test. The present tendency of this control is to pass from a qualitative evaluation (the presence or absence of the material discontinuities which give at the output of the control equipment a signal higher or at least equal to that coming from a standard discontinuity whose shape and severity has been prescribed by the product standards) to a quantitative one, which enables to locate as exactly as possible the discontinuity and to make predictions over its shape and severity. 

Minimum exposure times must be observed in order to reach the requisite S/N ratio. As per EN 1435 and EN 584-1, for the different ranges of utilization (energy, wall thickness), definite film elasses are prescribed. They are characterized by the minimum gradient-to-noise ratios. Based on this, one can calculate the minimum values for the S/N ratio based on the IP systems. The exposure time and the device parameter sensitivity and dynamics (latitude) must be adjusted accordingly, with an availability of an at least 12 bit system for the digitalization. 

General hydrodynamic theory for liquid penetrant testing (PT) has been worked out in [1], Basic principles of the theory were described in details in [2,3], This theory enables, for example, to calculate the minimum crack s width that can be detected by prescribed product family (penetrant, excess penetrant remover and developer), when dry powder is used as the developer. One needs for that such characteristics as surface tension of penetrant a and some characteristics of developer s layer, thickness h, effective radius of pores and porosity TI. One more characteristic is the residual depth of defect s filling with penetrant before the application of a developer. The methods for experimental determination of these characteristics were worked out in [4]. 

Let us consider the calculation of sensitivity threshold in the case when the cracks are revealing by PT method. Constant distance H between crack s walls along the whole defect s depth is assumed for the simplicity. The calculation procedure depends on the dispersity of dry developer s powder [1]. Simple formula has to be used in the case when developer s effective radius of pores IC, which depends mainly on average particle s size, is smaller than crack s width H. One can use formula (1) when Re is small enough being less than the value corresponding maximum sensitivity (0,25 - 1 pm). For example. Re = 0,25 pm in the case when fine-dispersed magnesia oxide powder is used as the developer. In this case minimum crack s width H that can be detected at prescribed depth lo is calculated as... 

The solution of (2) gives the range of the values of crack s width, which can be revealed by prescribed product family and conditions of testing process. Minimum value H of this range corresponds to the sensitivity threshold for the case Re > H. 

On the basis of positive results of the procedure attestation the statement about the possibility for use of the developed procedure is issued and approved in prescribed manner. 

In order to maintain Class and to comply with international legislation a ship must undergo surveys at prescribed intervals. Ships such as tankers and bulk carriers must comply with International Maritime Organisation resolutions which require a Class Enhanced Survey Programme. This programme includes Special Surveys at five yearly intervals with close-up visual inspection and thickness measurements to be made at specified locations, the number of which increases with the age of the ship. 

An interesting experimental technique is heat development of nuclei. The liquid is held at the desired temperature for a prescribed time, while nuclei accumulate they are then made visible as crystallites by quickly warming the solution to a temperature just below Tq, where no new nuclei form but existing ones grow rapidly. 

This equation is usually solved self-consistently . An approximate charge is assumed to estimate the exchange-correlation potential and to detennine the Flartree potential from equation Al.3.16. These approximate potentials are inserted in the Kolm-Sham equation and the total charge density is obtained from equation A 1.3.14. The output charge density is used to construct new exchange-correlation and Flartree potentials. The process is repeated nntil the input and output charge densities or potentials are identical to within some prescribed tolerance. 

With the fomi of free energy fiinctional prescribed in equation (A3.3.52). equation (A3.3.43) and equation (A3.3.48) respectively define the problem of kinetics in models A and B. The Langevin equation for model A is also referred to as the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (if the noise temi is ignored) the model B equation is often referred to as the Calm-Flilliard-Cook equation, and as the Calm-Flilliard equation in the absence of the noise temi. 

In conjunction with Equation (2.48) the prescribed boundary conditions at the boundaries of the solution domain should also be satisfied. 

Therefore the second-order derivative of/ appearing in the original form of / is replaced by a term involving first-order derivatives of w and/plus a boundary term. The boundary terms are, normally, cancelled out through the assembly of the elemental stiffness equations over the common nodes on the shared interior element sides and only appear on the outside boundaries of the solution domain. However, as is shown later in this chapter, the appropriate treatment of these integrals along the outside boundaries of the flow domain depends on the prescribed boundary conditions. 

In some applications it may be necessary to prescribe a pressure datum at a node at the domain boundary. Although pressure has been eliminated from the working equations in the penalty scheme it can be reintroduced through the penalty terms appearing in the boundary line integrals. 

Equations (5,61) and (5.62) can be used to derive a pressure potential equation applicable to thin-layer flow between curved surfaces using the following procedure. In a thin-layer flow, the following velocity boundary conditions are prescribed ...

Plants and animals rely on oxygen for respiration. Hospitals frequently prescribe oxygen for patients with respiratory ailments. 

B. Big secret..Quack , Use approximately a total of 600 ml (twice the amount prescribed) for the three extractions. Don t quack at me...its starting fluid. It s cheap Quack Here it is Let the first extraction sit for several hours (or overnight) and the seperation will be VERY clean. However, there will still be an emulsion present in the ether layer. Now, the Quackload of product will be in the first extraction, so the emulsion and settling of the following two will be much quacker (faster). Combine ALL three ether extracts and note that there will be a little water that will separate out from them.

Tetracyclines are produced by various Streptomyces strains and are extensively applied in human and veterinary medicine. They display a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity in combination with low toxicity and can be applied orally. The most commonly prescribed tetracycline drugs are tetracycline itself and oxytetracycline, an oxygenated derivative, which are directly isolated from fermentation liquors, and doxycycline whose partial synthesis from oxy-... 

From the perspective of laboratory practice, the sensitivity of many indoles to acids, oxygen and light prescribes the use of an inert atmosphere for most reactions involving indoles and the avoidance of storage with exposure to light. This sensitivity is greatly attenuated by electron-withdrawing (EW) substituents.
