Quantitative environmental changes affecting

Spectral properties The spectra of tripositive lanthanides show very sharp line like bands in the ultra-violet, visible or near infrared regions. The bands become more and more narrow and sharp as the temperature is lowered. These bands arise due to electronic transitions within the Af orbitals. The spectra of tri positive lanthanide ions and their complexes is similar because the environmental changes affecting the outermost orbitals do not much alter the wavelengths of the bands. These bands are very useful for characterising the lanthanides for their quantitative estimations. 

In the bottom-up approach, a large variety of ordered nano-, micro-and macrostructures may be obtained by changing the balance of all the attractive and repulsive forces between the structure-forming molecules or particles. This can be achieved by altering the environmental conditions (temperature, pH, ionic strength, presence of specific substances or ions) and the concentration of molecules/particles in the system (Min et al., 2008). As this takes place, the interrelated processes of formation and stabilization are both important considerations in the production of nanoparticles. In addition, as particles grow in size a number of intrinsic properties change, some qualitatively, others quantitatively some affect the equilibrium (thermodynamic) properties, and others affect the nonequilibrium (dynamic) properties such as relaxation times. 

In spite of these difficulties, many quantitative studies on sets of values reveal trends in the change of hemicellulosic composition related mainly to a particular factor. A study of, for example, the effect of growth on hemicellulosic composition must, however, yield quantitative values that are affected by uncontrolled environmental influences throughout the period of growth. A similar remark would relate to most studies designed to investigate correlations between any other factor or influence on hemicellulosic composition. 

Control charts The purpose of a control chart is to monitor data from an ongoing series of quantitative measurements so that the occurrence of determinate (systematic) errors (bias), or any changes in the indeterminate (random) errors affecting the precision of replicates can be detected and remedial action taken. The predominant use of control charts is for quality control (QC) in manufacturing industries where a product or intermediate is sampled and analyzed continually in a process stream or periodically from batches. They may also be used in analytical laboratories, such as those involved in clinical or environmental work, to monitor the condition of reagents, standards and instrument components, which may deteriorate over time.
