Segmentation method based on the analysis by Co-Occurrence Matrix is developed. We try to increase the quality of the obtained results by means of the application of two dimensional (2D) processing. We use Co-Occurrence Matrix for ultrasonic image segmentation. This tool, introduced by Haralick (1), was selected for the present study as several general considerations were favourable ... 

The review and interpretation of toxicology studies is a professional matter, requiring experience in both the laboratory conduct of such studies and the practice of appHed toxicology. Although all studies should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, there are some general considerations to be kept in mind during the review process, described below. 

Activation Processes. To be useful ia battery appHcations reactions must occur at a reasonable rate. The rate or abiUty of battery electrodes to produce current is determiaed by the kinetic processes of electrode operations, not by thermodynamics, which describes the characteristics of reactions at equihbrium when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal. Electrochemical reaction kinetics (31—35) foUow the same general considerations as those of bulk chemical reactions. Two differences are a potential drop that exists between the electrode and the solution because of the electrical double layer at the electrode iaterface and the reaction that occurs at iaterfaces that are two-dimensional rather than ia the three-dimensional bulk. 

General Considerations Most pressure vessels for the chemical-process industry will continue to be designed and built to the rules of Sec. T11, Division 1. While the rules of Sec. T11, Division 2, will frequently provide thinner elements, the cost of the engineering analysis, stress analysis and higher-quality construction, material control, and inspection required by these rules frequently exceeds the savings from the use of thinner walls. 

The following general considerations should be followed in designing all types of process equipment ... 

General Considerations. Continuous mass processes for polystyrene have been in commercial use since the 1930 s, and for rubber-modified polystyrene (HIPS) since the 1950 s. Much of the information on equipment design, process configuration and operating parameters connected with continuous processes is found in the patent literature. There are inherent limitations to such sources. Recognizing this, we will provide... 

General considerations of data availability lead immediately to the recognition that detection systems are more likely to be designed as comprehensive numeric-symbolic interpreters as illustrated in Fig. 3. State description systems may be configured as shown in either Fig. 3 or Fig. 4. Fault classification systems are most likely to require the symbolic-symbolic mapping to compensate for limited data as shown in Fig. 4. Many practical data interpretation problems involve all three kinds of interpreters. In all situations, there is a clear need for interpretation systems to adapt to and evolve with changing process conditions and ever-increasing experience. 

OL behavior is assessed simply by monitoring the transmission of a (usually solution) sample as a function of the incoming laser fluence measured in joules per square centimeter (rather than intensity in watts per square centimeter).22,23 Limiting thresholds Fth, defined as the incident fluence at which the actual transmittance falls to 50% of the corresponding linear transmittance, are then commonly quoted. Since excited-state absorption processes generally determine the OL properties of molecules, the excited-state structure and dynamics are often studied in detail. The laser pulse width is an important consideration in the study of OL effects. Compounds (1-5)58-62 are representative non-metal-containing compounds with especially large NLO and/or OL... 

In this chapter, we first provide general considerations on the SPME process and important parameters affecting the quality of the results. In Sections 3 and 4 we present the results obtained with different reference substances and archaeological samples. 

Stereodynamics of Cyclic Nitronates From general considerations and according to X-ray diffraction data (263a), molecules of hve-membered cyclic nitronates should adopt an envelope conformation with the C-5 atom deviating from the plane. This atom fluctuates together with its substituents (R4 and R5) (Scheme 3.83, process a). 

General Considerations 1 Location of people relative to the unit 2 Location of critical systems 3 Dominant wind direction 4 Climate and weather extremes earthquake, flooding, windstorms 5 Site topography 6 External hazards or threats (fire/explosion/toxic release from nearby process or facility aircraft subsidence sabotage) 7 Traffic flow patterns and clearances from process vessels and lines 8 Security and reliability of all critical feeds and utilities 9 Command center and alternate command center locations 10 Evacuation routes, emergency exits, safe rally spots... 

General Considerations The following should be taken into account whenever designing or operating a chemical process that involves intended chemical reactions (Hendershot 2002). CCPS (1999) also details many key issues and process safety practices to consider that are oriented toward the design and operation of batch reaction systems. 

The model of clusters or ensembles of sites and bonds (secondary supramolecular structure), whose size and structure are determined on the scale of a process under consideration. At this level, the local values of coordination numbers of the lattices of pores and particles, that is, number of bonds per one site, morphology of clusters, etc. are important. Examples of the problems at this level are capillary condensation or, in a general case, distribution of the condensed phase, entered into the porous space with limited filling of the pore volume, intermediate stages of sintering, drying, etc. 

The relative importance of the dissolved species will be dependent upon the type of process under consideration. For example, in the magnesium oxide process, magnesium is one of the dominant species while sodium is one of the dominant species in the regenerative sodium process. A general list of equilibria is presented in Table 1. Expressions of the following form have been developed for the temperature dependent equilibrium constants (y).
