Sample defined

Assessment of the geographical distribution of pollution in the river using fish samples is more difficult than in the case of SEs, probably because of their mobility, which in some cases can lead to confusing results. PCI identified in fish samples defines a contrast between two inversely correlated contamination profiles. Positive...

(B) Arrhenius plots of reactor-produced isotopes for two of the hve samples, defining existence of three diffusion domains corresponding to albite-rich lamellae (domain 1) and anorthite-rich lamellae of different widths (domains 2 and 3).

For the analysis we selected pellets whose size lie between 100 and 500 pm (with 28 to 38% of P2O5) and matrix samples defined by a grain size < 50pm (less phosphatized with P20s 7%). 

The per-protocoT set of subjects, sometimes described as the valid cases, the efficacy sample or the evaluable subjects sample, defines a subset of the subjects in the full analysis set who are more compliant with the protocol... ... 

In operationally defined speciation the physical or chemical fractionation procedure applied to the sample defines the fraction isolated for measurement. For example, selective sequential extraction procedures are used to isolate metals associated with the water/acid soluble , exchangeable , reducible , oxidisable and residual fractions in a sediment. The reducible, oxidisable and residual fractions, for example, are often equated with the metals associated, bound or adsorbed in the iron/manganese oxyhydroxide, organic matter/sulfide and silicate phases, respectively. While this is often a convenient concept it must be emphasised that these associations are nominal and can be misleading. It is, therefore, sounder to regard the isolated fractions as defined by the operational procedure. Physical procedures such as the division of a solid sample into particle-size fractions or the isolation of a soil solution by filtration, centrifugation or dialysis are also examples of operational speciation. Indeed even the distinction between soluble and insoluble species in aquatic systems can be considered as operational speciation as it is based on the somewhat arbitrary definition of soluble as the ability to pass a 0.45/Am filter. 

To study the relaxation of Ht to the high field seeking hyperfine states we plot our data as V tl/N2 versus time as shown in Fig.4. W(t) is the total number of atoms in the trap at a given time t, obtained by integrating the observed flux from t to . Vy is the effective volume of the sample defined by V 0/V2e,... 

A sample defined in this way is called correct. A delimitation error occurs when not every part of the lot has an equal chance of being in the sample, in other words, when the defined sample boundary is not correct. 

USA). The precipitation samples define the LMWL (5D = 8.035 0 + 10.95), which is virtually identical to the GMWL. The lake samples plot along an evaporation line with a slope of 5.2 that intersects the LMWL at the eomposition of average local groundwater, with additional data (after Kendall et aL, 1995a). 

According to Hooke s law, the stress a is proportional to the deformation e of the sample, defined as the extension per unit of initial length s = AL/Lq according to the equation... 

A slow phase of mercury invasion BC between to and tr (total saturation of sample) defined by V= U2t + P2 where a2=dV2/dt is the slope of the curve, P2 constant, t time. The rapid rate ai is higher than the slow rate a2- This phase is related to the complete filling of the porous space. 

While defining a correct sample is straightforward in theory, sample extraction is difficult to carry out in practice because of the sampling dimension, the tools used, and how they are used. The sampling tool must be compatible with the boundaries defined, and the tool must be used correctly. When the sample defined is not the same as the sample extracted, we incur an EE, another of the three errors arising from violating the principle of correct sampling. 

Operationally defined speciation. In operationally defined speciation the physical or chemical fractionation procedure applied to the sample defines the fraction or chemical pools isolated for measurement. 

ANOVA can be extended to situations where the experimental units (in our context, study participants) are classified on a number of factors. When they are classified on the basis of one factor, it is referred to as a one-way ANOVA. The result of partitioning the total variance into its components, in this case among and within samples defined by one factor, is displayed in Table 11.2. 

The H NMR spectra clearly show a match between the authentic and synthetic samples of myriaporones 3 and 4. Moreover, optical rotation data collected on the synthetic sample defined the absolute configuration of the natural materials not previously determined as shown in this chapter. 

A partial correction can be made for this source-temperature influence on 5 O and 5D of precipitation by using a derived quantity called the deuterium excess, d, of that precipitation although this procedure needs further verification. A plot of precipitation 5D versus produces a meteoric water line with a slope of about 8 (Craig 1961). Adopting the slope of 8 exactly, the 5 0 and 5D of any sample define a line with an intercept called the deuterium excess, d (Dansgaard 1964). This varies spatially and temporally in response to both equilibrium and kinetic effects during evaporation, which...
