Recommendations development types

Several points have become clear during the two years which this work covered. First and foremost, experienced chemists must be involved in the development of the transform data base -not only to supply the information on reactions but also to recommend the types of reactions to be included. It is clear from the current analyses produced by SECS that many more transforms - perhaps 2-3 times the present number - must be added before a reasonably thorough analysis of a structure can be produced. We have also learned that chemists are not generally willing to learn ALCHEM, even enough to understand why a transform is misbehaving but they will tell us which transforms need further work, and why. 

Insulin autoantibodies (lAAs) are present in more than 90% of children who develop type 1 diabetes before age 5, but in fewer than 40% of individuals developing dia-betes after age 12. Their frequency in healthy people is similar to tliat of ICA. A radioisotopic method that calculates the displaceable insulin radiohgand binding after the addition of excess nonradiolabeled insulin is recommended for lAA. Results are positive when concentrations exceed the mean +2 (or 3) standard deviations (SD) of healthy controls. An important caveat is that insulin antibodies develop after insrdin therapy, even in those persons who use human insulin. 

Enzymes are classified in terms of the reactions which they catalyse and were formerly named by adding the suffix ase to the substrate or to the process of the reaction. In order to clarify the confusing nomenclature a system has been developed by the International Union of Biochemistry and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (see Enzyme Nomenclature , Elsevier, 1973). The enzymes are classified into divisions based on the type of reaction catalysed and the particular substrate. The suffix ase is retained and recommended trivial names and systematic names for classification are usually given when quoting a particular enzyme. Any one particular enzyme has a specific code number based upon the new classification. 

Data for thermal movement of various bitumens and felts and for composite membranes have been given (1). These describe the development of a thermal shock factor based on strength factors and the linear thermal expansion coefficient. Tensile and flexural fatigue tests on roofing membranes were taken at 21 and 18°C, and performance criteria were recommended. A study of four types of fluid-appHed roofing membranes under cycHc conditions showed that they could not withstand movements of <1.0 mm over joiats. The limitations of present test methods for new roofing materials, such as prefabricated polymeric and elastomeric sheets and Hquid-appHed membranes, have also been described (1). For evaluation, both laboratory and field work are needed. 

The critical parameters of ethylene oxide steriliza tion are temperature, time, gas concentration, and relative humidity. The critical role of humidity has been demonstrated by a number of studies (11,18,19). Temperature, time, and gas concentration requirements are dependent not only on the bioburden, but also on the type of hardware and gas mixture used. If cycle development is not possible, as in the case of hospital steriliza tion, the manufacturer s recommendations should be followed. 

Siace dimer acids, monomer acids, and trimer acids are unsaturated, they are susceptible to oxidative and thermal attack, and under certain conditions they are slightly corrosive to metals. Special precautions are necessary, therefore, to prevent product color development and equipment deterioration. Type 304 stainless steel is recommended for storage tanks for dimer acids. Eor heating coils and for agitators 316 stainless steel is preferred (heating coils with about 4s m (50 ft ) of heat transfer surface ia the form of a 5.1 cm schedule-10 U-bend scroU are recommended for a 37. 9-m (10,000-gal) tank. Dimer acid storage tanks should have an iaert gas blanket. 

Floating Roofs These must have a seal between the roof and the tank shell. If not protec ted by a fixed roof, they must have drains for the removal of water, and the tank shell must have a wind girder to avoid distortion. An industiy has developed to retrofit existing tanks with floating roofs. Much detail on the various types of tank roofs is given in manufacturers literature. Figure 10-182 shows types. These roofs cause less condensation buildup and are highly recommended. 

Another type of anion, confined for practical purposes to boron compounds, has no unshared electrons at the anionic site, and must be thought of as being formed by addition of hydride to a boron atom (or other atom with an incomplete valence shell). Such structures were not anticipated at the time general heterocyclic nomenclature was developed, and they are only recently being fitted into systematic nomenclature (lUPAC Provisional Recommendation 83.2). Proposals for a suffix to indicate such structures are under consideration (1982). 

Adequate support from the facility staff is absolutely essential. The facility staff must help the analysis team gather pertinent documents (e.g., PSilDs, procedures, software descriptions, material inventories, meteorological data, population data) and must describe current operating and maintenance practices. The facility staff must then critique the logic model(s) and calculation(s) to ensure that the assumptions are correct and that the results seem reasonable. The facility staff should also be involved in developing any recommendations to reduce risk so they will fully understand the rationale behind all proposed improvements and can help ensure that the proposed improvements are feasible. Table 12 summarizes the types of facility resources and personnel needed for a typical QRA. 

Go to the Web and develop a list of suppliers along with unit costs for some of the various types of flocculants described in this chapter. Also obtain the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for these chemicals. Once you have collected the information, develop a relative ranking of unit cost and health risk associated with each. For question 2 you will need information of recommended doses. 

As the flow rate and quantity of liquor are the most important controllable variables in developing design data, a feed pump suitable for accurate and continuous flow is required. Depending on the size of the pilot column system, the use of peristaltic, diaphragm, piston-type or centrifugal pumps are recommended. The feed pump should be used in combination with a volumetric or gravimetric flow control... 

The equivalent charge weight of TNT is calculated on the basis of the entire cloud content. FMRC recommends that a material-dependent yield factor be applied. Three types of material are distinguished Class I (relatively nonreactive materials such as propane, butane, and ordinary flammable liquids) Class II (moderately reactive materials such as ethylene, diethyl ether, and acrolein) and Class III (highly reactive materials such as acetylene). These classes were developed based on the work of Lewis (1980). Energy-based TNT equivalencies assigned to these classes are as follows ... 

The unit shown in Figure 4-49 has been used in many process applications with a variety of modifications [18,19,20]. It is effective in liquid entrainment separation, but is not recommended for solid particles due to the arrangement of the bottom and outlet. The flat bottom plate serves as a protection to the developing liquid surface below. This prevents re-entrainment. In place of the plate a vortex breaker type using vertical cross plates of 4-inch to 12-inch depth also is used, (Also see Reference [58].) The inlet gas connection is placed above the outlet dip pipe by maintaining dimension of only a few inches at point 4. In this type unit some liquid will creep up the walls as the inlet velocity increases. 

Where accurate and higher-speed chain drives are required, roller chains are used. Roller chains are fundamentally a development of the block chain in which rollers have been inserted. The addition of the rollers increases the overall efficiency of the chain and permits it, in its ordinary form, to be operated at high speeds a rate of 600-800 ft/min is usually recommended. The links can be furnished in a multitude of shapes, one common form being the offset shown in Fig. 3-28. This type of chain is furnished in pitches, i.e., center distance between rollers, from up to 2 in. and in breaking strengths, dependent upon the materials and the construction used, from about 10,000 to 200,00 lb [8,11]. 

The clip method of making wire-rope attachments is widely used. Drop-forged clips of either the U-bolt or the double-saddle type are recommended. When properly applied as described herein, the method develops about 80% of the rope strength in the case of six strand ropes. 

Laboratory tests used in the development of inhibitors can be of various types and are often associated with a particular laboratory. Thus, in one case simple test specimens, either alone or as bimetallic couples, are immersed in inhibited solutions in a relatively simple apparatus, as illustrated in Fig. 19.34. Sometimes the test may involve heat transfer, and a simple test arrangement is shown in Fig. 19.35. Tests of these types have been described in the literatureHowever, national standards also exist for this type of test approach. BSl and ASTM documents describe laboratory test procedures and in some cases provide recommended pass or fail criteria (BS 5117 Part 2 Section 2.2 1985 BS 6580 1985 ASTM 01384 1987). Laboratory testing may involve a recirculating rig test in which the intention is to assess the performance of an inhibited coolant in the simulated flow conditions of an engine cooling system. Although test procedures have been developed (BS 5177 Part 2 Section 2.3 1985 ASTM 02570 1985), problems of reproducibility and repeatability exist, and it is difficult to quote numerical pass or fail criteria. 

A large variety of oils is available, and recommendations for any set of conditions, compressor type and refrigerant can be obtained from the refiners. They are naphthene or paraffin-based oils. Synthetic lubricants have been developed for ultra-low-and high-temperature systems, especially for process heat pumps. 

Free caustic alkalinity usually is not recommended for jet-type electrode, as foaming conditions may develop rapidly because of the high recirculation rate. Where high alkalinity is present and FW contamination from colloidal or organic matter takes place, the foaming that develops quickly causes the boiler to be shut down. 

Sodium alginate (algin) is one of the most widely used hydrocolloids for ice cream. It is supplied in several viscosity types. The lower viscosity material is recommended in order to prevent thick mixes. It is used at a level of 0.15 to 0.25%. It is added to mix at higher temperatures in order to minimize precipitation by calcium salts present in milk products. Sodium alginate is sensitive to high acidities often developed in some mixes and causes thickening. 

Parameter estimation and identification are an essential step in the development of mathematical models that describe the behavior of physical processes (Seinfeld and Lapidus, 1974 Aris, 1994). The reader is strongly advised to consult the above references for discussions on what is a model, types of models, model formulation and evaluation. The paper by Plackett that presents the history on the discovery of the least squares method is also recommended (Plackett, 1972). 

Validations fall into two types prospective and retrospective. In prospective validation (see flow chart in Figure 2) the validation is done in a sequential manner, involving installation qualification and operational qualification (IQ/OQ) of equipment (e.g., chromatography instrumentation or column hardware). Appropriate calibrations accompany the IQ/OQ. Process qualification, or PQ, involves formal review and approval of a PQ protocol, execution of this protocol, and issuance of a formal PQ report which includes data analysis and recommendations (i.e., approval/certification of the process). If the process is not approved, the report may recommend a redesign or redoing of the validation protocol and, in some cases, a return of the process to process development for further optimization.
