Representative frequency

Particle size is one of the principal determinants of powder behavior such as packing and consolidation, flow ability, compaction, etc., and it is therefore one of the most common and important areas of powder characterization. Typically, one refers to particle size or diameter as the largest dimension of its individual particles. Because a given powder consists of particles of many sizes, it is preferable to measure and describe the entire distribution. While many methods of size determination exist, no one method is perfect (5) two very common methods are sieve analysis and laser diffraction. Sieving is a very simple and inexpensive method, but it provides data at relatively few points within a distribution and is often very operator dependent. Laser diffraction is a very rapid technique and provides a detailed description of the distribution. However, its instrumentation is relatively expensive, the analytical results are subject to the unique and proprietary algorithms of the equipment manufacturer, and they often assume particle sphericity. The particle size distribution shown in Figure 1 was obtained by laser diffraction, where the curves represent frequency and cumulative distributions. 

The polar plot is an alternative to the Bode diagram for representing frequency response data and is the locus of all points occupied by the tip of a vector in the complex plane whose magnitude and direction are determined by the amplitude ratio and phase shift, respectively, as the frequency of the forcing function applied to the system is varied from zero to infinity. 

Barium has been detected with a positive geometric mean concentration of 101.6 mg/L in groundwater samples from approximately 58% of the 2,783 hazardous waste sites that have had samples analyzed by the Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) (CLPSD 1989). Barium has also been detected with a positive geometric mean of 62.6 mg/L in surface water samples from 27% of the sites in the CLP statistical database (CLPSD) represent frequency of occurrence and concentration information for NPL sites only. 

Probability distribution models can be used to represent frequency distributions of variability or uncertainty distributions. When the data set represents variability for a model parameter, there can be uncertainty in any non-parametric statistic associated with the empirical data. For situations in which the data are a random, representative sample from an unbiased measurement or estimation technique, the uncertainty in a statistic could arise because of random sampling error (and thus be dependent on factors such as the sample size and range of variability within the data) and random measurement or estimation errors. The observed data can be corrected to remove the effect of known random measurement error to produce an error-free data set (Zheng Frey, 2005). 

The positive roots of Eq. (1 75) are plotted in the positive half of the Brillouin zone as shown in Fig. 1 -38a. It may be observed that the upper curve, which is called the optical branch, represents frequencies occurring in the optical... 

Dichloroethane has been detected in groundwater samples taken at an estimated 9% of the NPL hazardous water sites participating in the Contract Laboratories Program (CLP) at a geometric mean concentration of 23.1 ppb for the positive samples (CLP 1989). The compound was also detected in surface water samples taken at an estimated 2% of the NPL hazardous waste sites participating in the CLP at a geometric mean concentration of 24 ppb for the positive samples. Note that these data from the CLP Statistical Database represent frequency of occurrence and concentration information of NPL sites only. 

Bar charts represent frequency distributions of a discrete qualitative or quantitative variable (e.g. Fig. 37.4). 

While a plotted curve assumes a continuous relationship between the variables by interpolating between individual data points, a histogram involves no such assumptions and is the most appropriate representation if the number of data points is too few to allow a trend line to be drawn. Histograms are also used to represent frequency distributions (p. 265), where the y-axis shows the number of times a particular value of x was obtained (e.g. Fig. 37.3). As in a plotted curve, the x-axis represents a continuous variable which can take any value within a given range, so the scale must be broken down into discrete classes and the scale marks on the x-axis should show either the mid-points (mid-values) of each class (Fig. 37.3), or the boundaries between the classes.

Each sequence of points represents frequencies ranging from 10 to 10 Hz, with the highest values corresponding to the leftmost points. From M. Ciureanu, S. Mik-hailenko, S. Kaliaguine (2003).

Figure 12 Cl chondrite-normalized element to silicon ratios for CS and CP IDPs. The solid line represents frequency of CS IDPs and the dotted line frequency of CP IDPs. Numbers in upper right of each histogram are the number of CS and CP IDPs, respectively, with element to silicon ratios >3 CL CS IDPs are systematically depleted in calcium and magnesium while CP IDPs are only slightly depleted in calcium, aluminum, sulfur, and iron relative to Cl (vertical dotted line) (source Schramm et al., 1989).

Eqs (1) and (2) have everything to scare off chemists. There are integrals, complex numbers, and co is said to represent frequency, which leaves us pondering about the meaning of negative values for it. This is pure mathematics, it seems.

Once the consequences associated with an incident have been identified, the next step is to estimate the frequency with which the incident may occur. A representative frequency matrix is given in Table 1.13. As with the consequence matrix, four value levels are provided. The use of just three levels is probably too coarse, but five levels or more implies a degree of accuracy that probably could not be justified (precision is not the same as accuracy).
