Because the Ki, and Ki curves in the ASME Code are normalized to REndt, potential application of the Master Curve procedure within the ASME Code structure is not straightforward. Figure 10.7 from Sokolov and Nanstad (1999) shows the relationship between REndt and the Master Curve Eo for the steels used to construct the A curve shown in Fig. 10.2. To overcome the lack of correlation between Eo and REndt, the Pressure Vessel Research Council and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the USA developed a separate reference temperature based on Eo (Server et al, 1998 Van Der Sluys et al., 2000, 2001a, b). This reference temperature, RTj, was developed by determination of a temperature offset to Eo that would bound the fracture toughness data similar to that of the Ric curve in the ASME Code and has been incorporated into the ASME Code by Code Cases N-629 (ASME, 2013b) and N-631 (ASME, 2013c). Thus, in this scheme, Eq. 10.11 is contained in both Code Cases ... 

The procedure for designing a simple cylindrical vessel to Code Case 2286 or Section VIII, Division 2 is to first establish geometry as weU as determine shell thickness values to begin with. Typically, some thickness is estab-hshed from, say, internal pressure and those thickness values are used for starting the procedure in Code Case 2286. External loads from wind and seismic design criteria must be estabhshed to complete the procedure. 

Qualification and certification of NDE personnel is addressed in Section 9.0 of the WSRC QA Plan. The QA Manual (IQ), Procedure QAP-11, addresses the requirement of "testing personnel." For the reactor tank UT, use of a Level III inspector is required for all tank testing and has been verified from the K-UT test report (Reference 8). UT inspection personnel are qualified to ASME Code Case N-409-1 or pass a performance demonstration as required by the EPRI NDE Center IGSCC program. 

In this case, rather than keeping separate data areas for each call to the procedure, we must create a data structure that can be shared by all occurrences. FORTRAN S COMMON can be used for this purpose. To implement the list in our example, make the following changes to the pseudo-code in the appendix ... 

Yet under the original requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 both companies would have had to conduct extensive test on the software to write and implement eight to ten standard operating procedures to document the requirements, development, and change history of the code and to record and archive all records. In this case, as in so many, such an investment in time and dollars would have been justihed for the pacemakers but wasted in the case of the tongue depressors. 

Many of the methods advanced for code optimization depend on presenting the program in flowchart form without any use of recursive features such as procedures. In the light of the results in the previous section it is an open and interesting problem to characterize at least some subcases of flowchartable recursion schemes and determine special cases in which it is decidable whether schemes are flowchartable. ... 

Requests for Cases shall provide a statement of need and background information similar to that defined in paras. VI-3.2 and VI-3.3, respectively, for Code revisions or additions. The urgency of the Case (e.g., project underway or imminent, new procedure, etc.) must be defined. The proposed Case should identify the Code location, and be written in a Question and Reply format. 

The DEA number is a unique character code which can be easily verified in most cases. The first two of the nine characters are alphabets. The first alphabet is either an A or B, or alternatively, a P or R the letters A and B designate a dispenser, while the letters P or R refer to a distributor. The second alphabet is derived from the first letter of the registrant s last name or his/ her business name. These two alphabets cannot always be verified. The third to ninth positions from left represent a seven digit number which can be verified. To understand the procedure, an example of DEA AB 0494168 verification is provided here. 

The RQDO /-values conform with the recommended values by Wiese et al. [18] for the 3p ( P) 4s-3p ( P) 4p transitions in C//better than those of the much more complex theoretical procedure of Ojha and Hibbert [17], who used large multiconfiguration expansions in the atomic structure code CIVS. On the other hand, the discrepancies between the length and velocity CIVS oscillator strengths are not negligible. Wiese et al. [18] remark that, for the case of the 4s " P-4p multiplet, the stronger lines measured by Bengtson et al. [16] seem to be affected by self-absorption (Table 2). 

The Code is administered by the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority which is responsible for the provision of advice, guidance and training on the Code as well as for the complaints procedure. Complaints which are made under the Code about promotional material or the promotional activities of companies are considered by the Code of Practice Panel and, where required, by the Code of Practice Appeal Board. Reports on completed cases are published quarterly by the Authority in its Code of Practice Review which is available on request. 

If the company does not accept that there is a breach of the Code and, having considered the compan)r s comments, the Director decides that there is no prima facie case to answer imder the Code, then the procedure is brought to a close. There shall be no case report on the matter in question. 

Then we can employ the same procedure (in fact the same codes) as in the SR case by considering the model space configuration Tj) as a new reference (or Eermi vacuum) for each I I j). 

If the relief line contains changes in diameter, then each expansion is a potential choke point (see 9.2 and Figure 9.5). Simpsont2] suggests a calculation procedure which can be used in such cases. A number of computer codes can be used for relief lines of changing diameter (see Annex 4).
