Sample unit

Rather than quote some (mass normalized) force on the sample at each of several field strengths, it is sufficient to report the slope of the linear part of the curve in Fig. 5-6. This slope is called the magnetic susceptibility of the sample. Units for susceptibility, x > and related quantities to be discussed in this section are reviewed in Box 5-3. 

The simplest model arises when sampling units are randomly selected from a large target population and analyzed without analytical error. If the objective of the study Is to estimate the average concentration of a pollutant In a population (letting x represent the concentration, a continuous variable), then...

Materials. The NaY faujasite was supplied by Linde Co (SK UO Sieves). A conventional exchange with NH Cl provides a NH Y sample (unit cell composition (NH J gNa-jQAl5531-135033 ). Heating this sample for 15h in oxygen and 3h in vacuo (l0 5torr) at 350°C leads to the hydrogen form HY.

The imperative is always to respect that all extractions (all possible virtual increments) must have the same selection probability. This is called the fundamental sampling principle (ESP), which must never be compromised lest all possibilities of documenting accuracy (unbiasedness) of the sampling process are lost. ESP implies potential physical access to all geometrical units of the lot, which is easily seen as much easier to achieve in the process situation than in batch sampling cases. The TOS contains many practical guidelines of how to achieve compliance with ESP [1-14], as praxis-codified in the seven sampling unit operations outlined below.

Sampling Unit Since we are seeking the free molecules that form a trace chemical signal, we must have a unit that collects them from their environment. For some systems that environment is air, for others water or soil. For some, it may be a surface, such as a parcel, a vehicle, a leaf, or a wall. It will be necessary for the system designer to devise a way to collect the molecules from that environment of interest. While most of the system elements are more or less independent of the search environment, the sampling unit is entirely dependent on it. 

Sampling units may be as simple as a piece of chemically treated paper used to swipe a surface or one with multiple parts such as pumps, valves, scoops, and heating units. It may be physically integrated into the rest of the system or operated separately, as in the case of the swipe paper. 

There are a wide variety of possible sources of explosive molecules. No matter what that source is, or where it is located, a similar process may be recognized. First, the molecules must become free from the bulk of explosive at the source. Then they must travel through the local environment to a location where they are accessible to the sampling unit. This journey is full of pitfalls that stop many of the released molecules, so the initial small flux rates may be reduced even more. Chapter 4 discusses the process in considerable detail.
