Since there are no standards for flux determinations, as there are for chemical concentration measurements in water or sediments, evaluating their accuracy is difficult. One is forced to rely on comparison of different anal5dical approaches and modeling of nutrient and oxygen distributions to achieve a consensus. Of the different methods used to determine the organic carbon export presented in the following section, the first two (sediment traps and thorium isotope disequilibria) are used to evaluate the POC flux only. They must be combined with estimates of the DOC flux to achieve the total. The second two methods, molecular oxygen and carbon isotope mass balance, determine the sum of DOC and POC export. 

Our approach Is significantly different. We have attempted to obtain information we feel is representative of the In-situ character of sedimentary organic matter. This approach has involved two distinct phases of sediment evaluation ...

For both Tanimoto indices Ti and T2 similar results can be observed where the highest value results from the comparison between ranking by nematodes and ecotoxicological tests (Table 4). However, all values show a relative low similarity between the Hasse diagrams in Fig. 13 and therefore the different property pattern of sediments indicated by chemical concentrations, ecotoxicological and nematodes tests should be taken into account for sediment evaluation.

The particle can be assumed to be spherical, in which case M/N can be replaced by (4/3)ttR P2, and f by 671770R- In this case the radius can be evaluated from the sedimentation coefficient s = 2R (p2 - p)/9t7o. Then, working in reverse, we can evaluate M and f from R. These quantities are called, respectively, the mass, friction factor, and radius of an equivalent sphere, a hypothetical spherical particle which settles at the same rate as the actual molecule. 

Additionally, mechanical (primarily shear), freeze—thaw, and thermal stabiHty the tendency to form sediment on long-term standing and compatibiHty with other dispersions, salts, surfactants, and pigments of acryHc dispersions are often evaluated. Details on the determination of the properties of emulsion polymers are available (60). 

Floor poHshes typically are evaluated for gloss, appHcation and leveling properties, discoloration, sHp resistance, scratch resistance, heel-mark resistance, scuff resistance, damp-mopping and detergent resistance, repairabiHty, lack of sediment, and removabiHty (3). RecoatabiHty and formula stabiHty are also important. A review of test methods is available (35). More than 20 ASTM test methods for floor poHshes exist. From the standpoint of product safety, sHp resistance is a particularly important variable and many test methods are available (39). 

Sedimentation analysis is suitable for a wide variety of materials and is used for both quaHty control and research work, such as agglomeration studies (56), and gives well-defined, relatively high resolution results. The technique has been employed in the evaluation of soils, sediments, pigments, fillers, phosphors, clays (qv), minerals, photographic haHdes, and organic particles (57,58). 

Therefore, the inertia forces have an insignificant influence on the sedimentation process in this regime. Theoretically, their influence is equal to zero. In contrast, the forces of viscous friction are at a maximum. Evaluating the coefficient B in equation 55 for a = 1 results in a value of 24. Hence, we have derived the expression for the drag coefficient of a sphere, = 24/Re. 

Irani and Callis (Ref 14) used two parameters of the distribution of ground monocalcium phosphate (which follows the commonly used log normal distribution law) namely, Mg and Og, the geometric mean diameter and the geometric standard deviation, to evaluate the precision and accuracy of electro-formed sieves vs sedimentation as a reference procedure ...

Sulcer and Denson (Ref 19) used the gas chromatographic—B .T. procedure for the analysis of Class I A1 powder (45 u max dia) which cannot be tested satisfactorily by sedimentation methods because of the presence of aggregates. A rough statistical evaluation of this procedure was made by running twelve determinations and calculating the standard deviation as shown in Table 14 ...
