One of the delights we experienced during the Symposium was the enthusiastic discussion engendered by each of the speaker s presentations. An edited transcript of the discussion period following each of the talks is appended to each of the respective papers in this volume some of these question/answer sessions were quite lively. In addition, an edited transcript of a round-table panel discussion held at the end of the Symposium appears as the fourth section of this volume. Finally, an all-inclusive name index and an extensive cross-referenced subject index appear at the end of the volume for the convenience of the reader. 

An effective HE or cost-effectiveness analysis is designed to answer certain questions, such as Is the treatment effective What will it cost and How do the gains compare with the costs By combining answers to all of these questions, the technique helps decision makers weigh the factors, compare alternative treatments, and decide which treatments are most appropriate for specific situations. Typically, one chooses the option with the least cost per unit of measure gained the results are represented by the ratio of cost to effectiveness (C E). With this type of analysis, called a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), various disease end points that are affected by therapy (risk markers, disease severity, death) can be assessed by corresponding indexes of therapeutic outcome (mmHg blood pressure reduction, hospitalizations averted, life years saved, respectively). It is beyond the scope of this chapter to elaborate further on principles of cost-effectiveness analyses. A number of references are available for this purpose [11-13]. 

Some or all of the eigenvalues may be degenerate, but each eigenfunction has a unique index i. Suppose further that the system is in state aj), one of the eigenstates of A. If we measure the physical observable A, we obtain the result aj. What happens if we simultaneously measure the physical observable B To answer this question we need to calculate the expectation value (B) for this system... 

II Look at the refractive index values given in Fig. 2.4m and then see if you can answer the questions below. 

Questions 58-63 refer to diseases. In addition to using formularies such as the BNF, in this case, you may need to refer to other textbooks such as Minor Illness or Major Disease see Bibliography) to answer these types of questions. In tackling Q61, the emphasis that the textbook places on detection combing for head lice signifies that this is the diagnostic process. This indicates how important it is that an authoritative book is used in an examination when you are allowed a choice of textbooks. The use of such books will help you find the correct answer, even when the answer is not specifically stated as such but needs to be inferred. The textbook selected for use in open-book MCQs should have an extensive index for quick reference. 

The autosampler required a RS232 communication at 9600 baud using ASCII character strings in a question-and-answer manner. The density device (Anton Paar) communicated at 2400 baud and a complete data buffer of information was transmitted. The computer program was designed to select and validate data for each measurement. Finally, the refractive index instrument had to be strobed to provide data using an RS232 interface at 1200 baud.

Therefore, within limits, we may interpret N in (3.41) as the effective refractive index of the slab of particles. This leads naturally to the question To what extent is N similar to the refractive index of a homogeneous medium For example, under what conditions, if any, will substitution of N into the expression for the reflection coefficient of a homogeneous slab yield physically correct results We can answer the latter and more specific of these two questions by calculating the field Er at the point P (Fig. 3.8), which is the sum...

The objective of any sea water conversion process is twofold to produce a demineralized water whose quality is adequate for the proposed use, and to produce this water at as low a cost as possible. In considering any new conversion process, after the establishing of the scientific and technologic soundness of the method, the question to be answered is the probable relative economics of the proposed process as compared to other processes, either actual (preferable) or proposed. One method of making this comparison is to prepare cost estimates. However, in some cases, such as this one, other indexes can be used. 

There is another question with respect to the lifetime behavior of lanthanides in nanocrystals. Will the lifetime of all excited states be lengthened The answer is obviously no since the observed lifetime depends on both the radiative and nonradiative relaxation rates. Although the correction of effective refractive index (eq. (9)) may be applicable to all excited states, it affects only the radiative lifetime. 

Figure 5.12 The principle of tiering in risk assessment simple questions can be answered by simple methods that yield conservative answers, and more complex questions require more sophisticated methods, more data, and more accurate risk predictions. PEC = Predicted Environmental Concentration, PNEC = Predicted No Effect Concentration, HI = Hazard Index, CA = Concentration Addition, RA = Response Addition, TEF = Toxicity Equivalency Factor, RPF = Relative Potency Factor, MOA = Mode of Action, PBPK = Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic, BRN = Biochemical Reaction Network.

This production of a core with a refractive index higher than the cladding raises the important question of how a refractive index can be manipulated. To answer this question,...
