Evaluation qualitative

Suppose that a magnetic nucleus can exchange between two states in which it has, respectively, resonance frequencies vA and vB, with vA vB. For simplicity, we shall assume that the nucleus has an equal probability of being in the two sites hence the lifetime of the nucleus is state A, ta, must equal that in state B  

Consider a coordinate system that rotates about B0 in the same direction in which the nuclei process, at a frequency 

In this rotating frame a nucleus at site A then precesses at (vA — n0), while a nucleus at site B precesses at (v0 — vB)—that is, it appears in the rotating frame to be precessing in a direction opposite that of the nucleus in site A. We can now distinguish the following four cases regarding exchange rates  

Very slow exchange. The lifetime at each site, 2r, is sufficiently long that a given nucleus enters site A and precesses many times at frequency (vA — v0) before leaving site A and entering site B. The result is that interaction with the rf field occurs, and in the fixed laboratory frame of reference a resonance line appears at vA. A similar situation occurs for the nucleus at site B. Thus the spectrum consists of two sharp lines at vA and vB, just as it would in the absence of exchange. (See Fig. 2.14 j.)

If there is no photographic documentation system in the workplace but a TLC scanner with an analog printer is available, all chromatograms can be plotted and compared with each other. Today, this fingerprint method is mainly used with samples of complex composition, e.g. phytopharmaceuticals.

Modern TLC scanners (e.g. by CAMAG or DESAGA) can produce a spectrum from each spot of a TLC plate. This can be compared with the data in a hbrary of spectra, enabling the identity of a substance to be estabhshed [116].

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. 

A visual inspection of a two-sample chart provides an effective means for qualitatively evaluating the results obtained by each analyst and of the capabilities of a proposed standard method. If no random errors are present, then all points will be found on the 45° line. The length of a perpendicular line from any point to the 45° line, therefore, is proportional to the effect of random error on that analyst s results (Figure 14.18). The distance from the intersection of the lines for the mean values of samples X and Y, to the perpendicular projection of a point on the 45° line, is proportional to the analyst s systematic error (Figure 14.18). An ideal standard method is characterized by small random errors and small systematic errors due to the analysts and should show a compact clustering of points that is more circular than elliptical.

What-If/Checklist analysis identifies hazards, possible accidents, qualitatively evaluates tlie consequences and determines the adequacy of safety levels. It is described in CCPS (1 )92 ). 

Capture efficiency measurements may be used to evaluate the function of a canopy hood (see Section 10.5). Capture velocity is not a feasible evaluation tool, since a canopy hood does not generate an air velocity close to the source. It is also possible to use exposure measurements for workers outside the plume area. Since most hot processes generate visible contaminants, visual inspection of the flow, especially around hood edges, might provide a qualitative evaluation. Many contaminants could however be invisible when diluted and smoke generators (Section 10.5) may be necessary to find leakages (temporary or permanent) around the hood edges. 

Consequently, inappropriate (P-6) and appropriate (P-6/S-200) separations yield significantly different results for the degree of polymerization distribution and average values of degree of polymerization (Fig. 16.27). In a first and qualitative evaluation, dp distribution achieved from P-6/S-200 differs significantly in symmetry from the dp distribution of P-6. In particular, differences in separation performance become obvious for high dp components. In a...

In Table 11 an attempt is made to include the above criteria in the form of quantitative data or qualitative evaluations. 

The data were collected using fluorescence measurements, which allow both identification and quantitation of the fluorophore in solvent extraction. Important experimental considerations such as solvent choice, temperature, and concentrations of the modifier and the analytes are discussed. The utility of this method as a means of simplifying complex PAH mixtures is also evaluated. In addition, the coupling of cyclodextrin-modified solvent extraction with luminescence measurements for qualitative evaluation of components in mixtures will be discussed briefly. 

After extraction, each phase may be studied independently in order to obtain a useful qualitative evaluation of the components in the original sample. The selectivity and specificity of fluorescence analysis can be especially beneficial in identification of PAHs. For example, some components could be identified by examining the fluorescence spectra of the organic and aqueous phases. Characteristic peak shapes may reveal identities of the components. For more complicated systems in which the spectra overlap, lifetime measurements may be used to identify components (27). 

The carcinogenic potential of the profiled substance is qualitatively evaluated, when appropriate, using existing toxicokinetic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic data. ATSDR does not currently assess cancer potency or perform cancer risk assessments. Minimal risk levels (MRLs) for noncancer end points (if derived) and the end points from which they were derived are indicated and discussed. 

A sequential analysis protocol includes three steps (1) extraction in water or other appropriate solvent for the colorant, (2) purification or concentration of the colorant, and (3) separation coupled with detection of the target molecule. Different methods of extracting synthetic colorants from foods have been developed using organic solvents followed by SPE protocols using as adsorption support RP-C18, amino materials, or Amberlite XAD-2. Eor qualitative evaluations, the easiest option for separating colorant molecules from unwanted ingredients found in an extract is SPE on polyamide or wool. 

In addition to obtaining Information about the size, relative mass, and structure of the platinum crystallites, the STEM can provide a qualitative evaluation of the metal distribution from support particle to support particle. In general, the distribution of platinum was more uniform on alumina than silica, however, optimal uniformity was not achieved. This observation was based on wide variations In Pt/Sl and Pt/Al ratios measured by EDS. 

Modelling can at least facilitate the determination of the most effective scale-up program. Information from three fields is needed for modelling (1) chemical kinetics, (2) mass transfer, and (3) heat transfer. The importance of information for different processes has been qualitatively evaluated (see Table 5.3-5). Obviously, sufficiently accurate information on heat transfer is needed for batch reactors, which are of great interest for fine chemicals manufacture. Kinetic studies and modelling requires much time and effort. Therefore, the kinetics often is not known. Presently, this approach is winning in the scale-up of processes for bulk chemicals. The tools developed for scale-up of processes for bulk chemicals have been proven to be very useful. Therefore, the basics of this approach will be discussed in more detail in subsequent sections. 

In a qualitative evaluation, the inherent properties of the materials are assessed for explosion potential, in combination with a review of site conditions. An assessment is then made as to the potential for explosion, based on the experience level and judgment of the assessor.

Quantitative evaluation of the severity of accident consequences is not required. However, the PrHA team must qualitatively evaluate the range of the possible employee safety and health effects. Such evaluation is generally made by discussing the severity of consequences of each scenario (see Section 4).
