Rejection, definition

Rejection Rejection is defined in Background and Definitions. The highest-rejection membranes are those designed for single-pass production of potable water from the sea. The generally accepted criterion is 99.4 percent rejection of NaCl. Some membranes, notably cellulose triacetate fibers are rated even higher. A whole range of membranes is available as rejection requirements ease, and membranes with excellent chlorine resistance and hydrolytic stability can be made with salt rejection over 90 percent. 

An important field of study for power plants is that of the combinedplant [ 1 ]. A broad definition of the combined power plant (Fig. 1.5) is one in which a higher (upper or topping) thermodynamic cycle produces power, but part or all of its heat rejection is used in supplying heat to a lower or bottoming cycle. The upper plant is frequently an open circuit gas turbine while the lower plant is a closed circuit steam turbine together they form a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant. 

Definition of Absolute Temperature.— The temperatures of two bodies are proportional to the quantities of heat respectively taken in and given out in localities at one temperature and at the other, respectively, by a material system subjected to a complete cycle of perfectly reversible thermodynamic operations, and not allowed to part with or take in heat at any other temperature or, the absolute values of two temperatures are to one another in the proportion of the heat taken in to the heat rejected in a perfect thermodynamic engine working with a source and refrigerator at the higher and lower of the temperatures respectively. ... 

Trial number and location and definition of specific crop fractions to be sampled had been a significant reason for study rejection prior to 1996. This particular guideline has helped resolve these issues in studies conducted since that time. 

Since the final product is a pharmaceutical, high purity of the product is definitely required. Furthermore, the amount of any impurities in the final product has to be rigorously regulated under ICH guidelines. Rejection of impurities related to cyclopropylacetylene (37) was difficult throughout this whole process [28]. Thus, not only the isolated yield but the impurity profile of 37 was critical. 

Several reports identified nonlethal effects in humans acutely exposed to arsine. These reports, however, lacked definitive exposure data but verified hematologic disorders leading to renal failure as critical effects of arsine exposure. Bulmer et al. (1940) (as cited in Elkins 1959) reconstructed an exposure incident at a gold extraction facility and estimated that subchronic (up to 8 mon) exposure to 0.12 ppm arsine resulted in jaundice and anemia (see Section 2.2.1). The lack of definitive exposure data for humans necessitates the use of animal data for quantitative estimation of AEGL values. Derivation of AEGL-2 values based upon limited human data (Flury and Zernik 1931) was considered but rejected because the data were poorly documented and inconsistent with other data showing lethality at lower cumulative exposures. 

Adult Utetheisa tend to be rejected also by birds (blue jays, Cyanocitta cristata scrub jays, Apkelocoma coemlescens T.E., unpublished observations), as might be expected, given their aposematism, but there is no definitive evidence that the unacceptability is due specifically to the PAs. 

The Q (initial reaction rate) plots were presented in Fig. 19. Note again that the data may be correlated well by straight lines for both models. The C2 values are correlated by the solid lines of Fig 20. Note that the dual-site values can again be correlated by a straight line, but that the single-site values of C2 show a definite curvature. Alternatively, the 0.975 atm value of the single-site C2 could be rejected, and the three high-pressure points... 

Let us turn our attention back again to the scheme illustrating various versions of the joint application of fluorescence parameters (Figure 2.1) and consider the possibilities for constructing more general and more definite models of protein dynamics. These models can be suggested and confirmed or rejected by comparing predicted behavior with the results of spectroscopic experiments of different kinds. 

In modem society, a search is premised upon a person s right to privacy, rather than traditional physical trespass. The Amendment protects people, not places. In Katz v. United States [24] the Court rejected the property approach in favor of a privacy approach. The Supreme Court held a nontresspassory eavesdropping into a public telephone booth constituted a search. The Court focused on the privacy aspect of the amendment, rather than applying it to specific location. The Court declined to characterize a telephone booth as a constitutionally protected area. A search occurs when (1) a person s subjective expectation of privacy is invaded providing (2) society is prepared to recognize that expectation is reasonable. The definition of reasonableness is itself determined on a case by case basis [37].
