Corrections of the reference points of a curve may be made, if required by editing the DAC table or graphically editing the DAC points.

Roll marks and the edge of the tube sheet provides distinct reference points as scan characteristics and tube thickness may change dramatically at these points. 

Usually one varies the head of mercury or applied gas pressure so as to bring the meniscus to a fixed reference point [118], Grahame and co-workers [119], Hansen and co-workers [120] (see also Ref. 121), and Hills and Payne [122] have given more or less elaborate descriptions of the capillary electrometer apparatus. Nowadays, the capillary electrometer is customarily used in conjunction with capacitance measurements (see below). Vos and Vos [111] describe the use of sessile drop profiles (Section II-7B) for interfacial tension measurements, thus avoiding an assumption as to the solution-Hg-glass contact angle. 

Any measurement of potential must describe a reference point, and we will take as this point the potential of an electron well separated from the metal and at rest in vacuo. By reference to figure A2.4.8 [16], we can define the following quantities. 

Linearized Reference System We first formulate the following linearized Langevin system at some reference point (e.g., X", AT" + V") ... 

An interesting historical application of the Boltzmann equation involves examination of the number density of very small spherical globules of latex suspended in water. The particles are dishibuted in the potential gradient of the gravitational field. If an arbitrary point in the suspension is selected, the number of particles N at height h pm (1 pm= 10 m) above the reference point can be counted with a magnifying lens. In one series of measurements, the number of particles per unit volume of the suspension as a function of h was as shown in Table 3-3.

Procedure. Compute the slope of the function by a linear least squares procedure and obtain a value of Boltzmann s constant. How many particles do you expect to find 125 pm above the reference point Take the uncertainty you have calculated for the slope, as the uncertainty in k.

There are forces other than bond stretching forces acting within a typical polyatomic molecule. They include bending forces and interatomic repulsions. Each force adds a dimension to the space. Although the concept of a surface in a many-dimensional space is rather abstract, its application is simple. Each dimension has a potential energy equation that can be solved easily and rapidly by computer. The sum of potential energies from all sources within the molecule is the potential energy of the molecule relative to some arbitrary reference point. A...

Bond energies relative to energy levels other than x = 0 are invariant. The reference point x = 0 is an almost universal convention in simple Huckel theory, however, and we shall continue to use it.

This calibration procedure, which must be demonstrated at the start of each working period (or 12-hour shift) ensures that all samples are analyzed with respect to a known reference point of the mass spectrometer. 

Protocols allow for at least two vessels to test both the untreated control malodor and the treated malodor(s). The untreated control malodor is used as a reference point for the maximum malodor score. When panehsts evaluate each of the two or more vessels, they must wait a period of time (usually 30—60 s) for recovery from adaptation before smelling the next vessel. This step is always repeated between each evaluation.

The denomination of odors was schematically related to two separate domains, both related to the memory stimulus of an event concomitant with the perception of the odor. One domain was based on an actual reference point that contains the odor vectors the other was associated with an odor stimulus based on imagination, ie, what image is evoked by the stimulus. With such a system, the final descriptive terminology used would more often than not be expressed in esoteric language, causing confusion and even communication breakdown. The work of Jaubert (1) was the origin of a more standardized descriptive system in the field of aroma description. 

A modified definition of resonance energy has been introduced by Dewar (66T(S8)75, 69JA6321) in which the reference point is the corresponding open-chain polyene. In principle this overcomes the difficulties inherent in comparing observed stability with that of an idealized molecule with pure single and double bonds, as thermochemical data for the reference acyclic polyenes are capable of direct experimental determination. In practice, as the required data were not available, recourse was made to theoretical calculations using a semiempirical SCF-MO method. The pertinent Dewar Resonance Energies are listed in Table 30. 

Europe, the USA and Japan are under way. In these studies, semen analysis methodology and subject selection criteria have been standardised to address whether there are region-specific differences in semen quality. These data can then be used as a reference point for any studies on future decline in sperm counts. More importantly, it still remains to be demonstrated whether the reported decrease in semen quality is sufficient to compromise fertility. 

What is more important to us is the differential pressure inside the tire compared to outside the tire (atmospheric pressure). For reasons such as these, the world has adopted a second and artificial zero, at atmospheric pressure as a reference point. This is why a simple pressure gauge will read zero at atmospheric pressure. 

This procedure is based on the observation of the orbital movement of the shaft eenterline. Three signal piekups are employed, of whieh two probes measure the vibration amplitudes of the rotor in two mutually perpendieular direetions. These two signals trace the orbit of the shaft centerline. The third probe is used to register the once-per-revolution reference point and is called the keyphazor. A schematic arrangement of these probes is shown in Figure 17-6.
