Ranking table

The FMECA table should be concise, complete, and well organized. This table should identify equipment and relate it to a system drawing or location. This is to prevent confusion when similar equipment is used in different locations. One of tlie limitations of FMECA is tliat the table must include ALL failure modes for each piece of equipment and effects of each failure along witli tlie associated criticality ranking. Table 17.5.3 shows a sample chart tliat can be completed for tlie FMECA table. 

The tables were designed to encompass processes included in most models of the various media of concern. Although selected processes are not rigorously defined for each media (e.g., sorption/desorption in air refers to toxicant-particulate interactions), the goal was to provide a concise ranking table for each level of analysis. 

As noted for acylcarnitine analysis of other specimen types, the interpretation of results for blood and bile spots is based on quantitative reference ranges and ultimately pattern recognition by a trained biochemical geneticist. The reference ranges used in our laboratory for postmortem blood and bile spots represent prospectively updated percentile ranks (Table 3.2.4). 

The size, form, number of pores per particle, and porosity are different for coals of different rank. Table I shows quantitative results obtained by counting particles with devolatilization pores. 

The free-swelling index of bituminous coals generally increases with an increase in rank (Table 7.5). Values for individual coals within a rank may vary considerably. The values for the lower-rank coals are normally less than those for bituminous coals, whereas anthracite does not fuse and shows no swelling value. 

Attempts have been made to correlate the friability of coal with rank (Table 8.4). Thus, lignite saturated with moisture was found to be the least friable, and friability increased with coal rank to a maximum for coals of the low-volatile bituminous coal. The friability of anthracites is comparable with that of...

The ABC News Special provides a Risk Ranking table that displays relative risks an individual living in the United States faces based on various exposures. The study measures anticipated loss of days, weeks, or years of life when exposed to risks of plane crashes, crime, driving, and air pollution. 

ABC News experts developed a Risk Ranking table (see Table 1—1) based upon three years of research with risk management experts. The assumption is that each of these activities are measured as independent variables and each has a detrimental effect on your life span. 

Because of the complexity of the coalification processes, different measures are used to define different levels of rank (Table I) high moisture, low heating value, and nonagglomerating character of the coal define the rank (group) within the lignite and subbituminous classes and volatile matter (or fixed carbon) define the various groups of rank in the bituminous and anthracite classes. In addition to these properties, the reflectance of vitrinite, carbon content of the coal (dry, mineral matter free), and some other properties change proportionately as rank increases (Table I). 

Not all these functions have the same importance, and it is possible to use a ranking table, estabhsh the criteria for evaluation, and then arrange these criteria in order of importance. 

Next we investigate weak-scaling parallelism with (Ala) polymers, increasing n in proportion to the number of MPl ranks (Table 11.5). Although the parallel efficiency is not great, calculations... 

Two main characteristics determine the properties of a coal (1) composition and (2) rank (Table 4.1) (see also Chapter 2). Coal composition is in turn characterized by two essentially independent factors type (nature of the organic components) and grade (presence of mineral matter) (Stach et al., 1982 Ward, 1984 Diessel, 1992 Van Krevelen, 1993 Taylor et al., 1998 Thomas, 2002 Suarez-Ruiz and Crelling, 2008) ... 

Two scoring tables are given here for severity ranking Table 7 lists five possible scoring levels and relates to the effect a failure may have on customer relations Table 8 pertains to environmental, safety, and health levels and contains four possible scoring levels. Note that these tables enumerate abbreviated versions of the severity criteria, and that/or most of the scoring levels for the Severity, Occurrence and Detection criteria, two scoring possibilities are available for each narrative description. 

The notes used in a musical score belong to a musical scale, divided by the octave. In a given scale the sounds associated with successive notes are in specific frequency ratios (or intervals in a logarithmic scale). Notes differing by a frequency factor of 2 sound similar and therefore bear the same name, with a number specifying the octave rank. Table I displays the octave corresponding to the middle part of the piano. Piano keys can play sounds extending over 8 octaves there is a factor 2 = 256 between the fi equencies of the sounds played by the farthest piano keys (about 20 to 5,000 Hz). 

A database, like RAPRA s Plascams, enables the material choice to be refined more closely. Both properties and design parameters like cost may be specified and ranked (Table 2.11).
