Too little oil and the product tastes flat and lacks character too much and the product gives the mouth a burning terpen-like sensation. United States Standards for Grades of citrus juices regard too much oil as a defect in manufacturing. The official method for the determination of recoverable oil is the Scott Method (8).

The type of treatment described here was originally introduced by Scott and Dullien [4], who confined attention to isothermal isobaric diffusion in binary mixtures. Similar equations were independently published shortly after by Rothfeld [5], and the method was later extended to multi-component mixtures by Silveston [6], Perhaps the most complete exposition is given by Mason and Evans [7],...

The second, third, and fourth corrections to [MPd/b-Jl lG(d,p)] are analogous to A (- -). The zero point energy has been discussed in detail (scale factor 0.8929 see Scott and Radom, 1996), leaving only HLC, called the higher level correction, a purely empirical correction added to make up for the practical necessity of basis set and Cl truncation. In effect, thermodynamic variables are calculated by methods described immediately below and HLC is adjusted to give the best fit to a selected group of experimental results presumed to be reliable. 

Quantitative Electron-Probe Microanalysis. (V. D. Scott and G. Love, eds.) John Wiley Sons, New York, 1983. Taken from a short course on the electron microprobe for scientists working in the field. A thorough discussion of EDS and WDS is given, including experimental conditions and specimen requirements. The ZAF correction factors are treated extensively, and statistics, computer programs and Monte Carlo methods are explained in detail. Generally, a very useftd book. 

There is an interesting consequence to the above discussion on composite peak envelopes. If the actual retention times of a pair of solutes are accurately known, then the measured retention time of the composite peak will be related to the relative quantities of each solute present. Consequently, an assay of the two components could be obtained from accurate retention measurements only. This method of analysis was shown to be feasible and practical by Scott and Reese [1]. Consider two solutes that are eluted so close together that a single composite peak is produced. From the Plate Theory, using the Gaussian form of the elution curve, the concentration profile of such a peak can be described by the following equation ... 

Soil resistivity The role of soil in the electrical circuitry of corrosion is now apparent. Thus the conductivity of the soil represents an important parameter. Soil resistivity has probably been more widely used than any other test procedure. Opinions of experts vary somewhat as to the actual values in terms of ohm centimetres which relate to metal-loss rates. The extended study of the US Bureau of Standards presents a mass of data with soil-resistivity values given. A weakness of the resistivity procedure is that it neither indicates variations in aeration and pH of the soil, nor microbial activity in terms of coating deterioration or corrosion under anaerobic conditions. Furthermore, as shown by Costanzo rainfall fluctuations markedly affect readings. Despite its short comings, however, this procedure represents a valuable survey method. Scott points out the value of multiple data and the statistical nature of the resistivity readings as related to corrosion rates (see also Chapter 10). 

By utilizing complete dose-response curves, the method devised by Barlow, Scott, and Stephenson [9] can be used to measure the affinity of a partial agonist. Using null procedures, the effects of stimulus-response mechanisms are neutralized and receptor-specific effects of agonists are isolated. This method, based on classical or operational receptor theory, depends on the concept of equiactive concentrations of drug. Under these circumstances, receptor stimuli can be equated since it is assumed that equal responses emanate from equal stimuli in any given system. An example of this procedure is given in Section 12.2.1.
