Quality factor values

The microstructure observation of the sintered ceramics surface was performed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL JSM 6400, Japan). The crystalline phase of sintered ceramics was identified by X-ray diflfaction (XRD, RIGAKU D/max 2.B) with CuKa radiation (X=l. 541SA at 40 kV and 30 mA) and scanned from 20° to 70° with scanning speed of 4°/min. The bulk densities of the sintered pellets were measured by the Archimedes method. The dielectric constant ( ,) and the quality factor values (Qxf) at microwave frequencies were measured using the Hakki-Coleman dielectric resonator method which had been modified and improved by Courtney The dielectric resonator was positioned between two brass plates. Microwave... 

SE values shown in tliis table for welded pipe include the joint quality factor E, for the longitudinal weld as required by Fig. 10-164 and, when applicable, the structural-grade quality factor Es of 0.92. For some code computations, particularly with regard to expansion, dexibility, structural attachments, supports, and restraints, the longihidinal-joint quality factor E, need not be considered. To determine the allowable stress S for use in code computations not ntdizing the joint quality factor E, divide the value SF shown in tliis table by the longitudinal-joint quality factor E, tabulated in Fig. 10-164. 

Stress values shown include the casting quality factor shown in this table. Higlier stress values can be used if specijJ inspection is accomplished. 

The SE values in Table 10-49 are equal to the basic allowable stresses in tension S multiplied by a quality factor E (see subsection Pressure Design of Metallic Components Wall Tliick-ness"). The design stress values for bolting materials are equal to die basic allowable stresses S. The stress values in shear shall be 0.80 times the allowable stresses in tension derived from tabulated values in Table 10-49 adjusted when applicable in accordance widi Note 13. 8tress values in bearing shall be twice those in shear. 

The part stress analysis prediction section contains failure rate models for a broad variety of parts used in electronic equipment. This method includes the effects of part quality factors and environmental factors. The tabulated values of the base failure rate are "cut off" at the design temperature and stress of the part. 

So in order to minimize this noise one possibility is to work at low temperature, this is what is done in the Japanese TAMA project. The other solution is to use optical materials with a low value of the loss angle, or equivalently a high quality factor. 

In QSAR equations, n is the number of data points, r is the correlation coefficient between observed values of the dependent and the values predicted from the equation, is the square of the correlation coefficient and represents the goodness of fit, is the cross-validated (a measure of the quality of the QSAR model), and s is the standard deviation. The cross-validated (q ) is obtained by using leave-one-out (LOO) procedure [33]. Q is the quality factor (quality ratio), where Q = r/s. Chance correlation, due to the excessive number of parameters (which increases the r and s values also), can. 

Quality factor or quality ratio (Q) The high values of Q (2.259-14.646) for these QSAR models suggest that the high predictive power for these models as well as no over-fitting. 

RBE is used to denote the experimentally determined ratio of the absorbed dose from one radiation type to the absorbed dose of a reference radiation required to produce an identical biologic effect under the same conditions. Gamma rays from cobalt-60 and 200-250 keV x-rays have been used as reference standards. The term RBE has been widely used in experimental radiobiology, and the term quality factor used in calculations of dose equivalents for radiation safety purposes (ICRP 1977 NCRP 1971 UNSCEAR 1982). RBE applies only to a specific biological end point, in a specific exposure, under specific conditions to a specific species. There are no generally accepted values of RBE. 

Each point in the phase diagram in Fig. 8.8 corresponds to a certain value of a and b, i.e., it represents the possible chemical composition of a molecular population. Variable a forms the horizontal axis, (1 +a) being the number of monomer types. The b axis represents the quality factor of the polymer catalysis. The transition region contains those populations which can have both ordered and disordered... 

MeV. WL-R = 100% x WL/radon concentrations (pCi/1). The dose conversion factor of 0.7 rad/working level month (WLM) (Harley and Pasternack, 1982) was used to calculate the mean absorbed dose to the epithelial cells and a quality factor (OF) of 20 was applied to convert the absorbed dose to dose equivalent rate. For example, from the average value of (WL) obtained from the arithmetic mean radon concentrations measured in the living area during winter and summer in South Carolina (Table I), the calculated dose equivalent rate is 4.1 rem/yr, e.g.,...

IP-2.2.7(d). The strength reduction factor represents the reduction in yield strength with long-term exposure of the material to elevated temperatures and, in the absence of more applicable data, shall be taken as 1.0 for austenitic stainless steel and 0.8 for other materials. For castings, the basic allowable stress shall be multiplied by the casting quality factor, Ec. Where the allowable stress value exceeds two-thirds of yield strength at temperature, the allowable stress value must be reduced as specified in para. IP-2.2.7(c). Wind and earthquake forces need not be considered as acting concurrently. At temperatures warmer than 427°C (800°F), use 1.33... 

Sf = product SEWMj [of the stress value, S the appropriate quality factor, E, from Tables IX-2 or IX-3A weld joint strength reduction factor per para. IP-2.2.10(e) and the performance factor, Mj(see Mandatory Appendix IX)] for flange or pipe material see para. IP-2.2.7(c). 

The stress values in Table IX-1A and the design stress values in Table IX-4 are basic allowable stresses in tension in accordance with para. IP-2.2.6(a). For pressure design, the stress values from Table IX-1A are multiplied by the appropriate quality factor, (Ec from Table IX-3 or )from Tables IX-4A and IX-4B). Stress values in shear and bearing are stated in para. IP-2.2.6(b) those in compression in para. IP-2.2.6(c). 

Step 1 The dominant quality factors here are convenience and the ability to deliver the precise dosage for applications. Optimum HLB is an important factor for convenience (Table 2). As in example 1, an HLB value between 3 and 15 is desirable for the detergency property, preferably towards the high end to give clear appearance (Figure 1). Thus, HLB0p is set to be 15. 

For low-LET radiation, the quality factor and radiation weighting factor have the value of one. Therefore, dose equivalent and equivalent dose have the same numerical value.
