In general, input characteristics may be considered synonymous with sensitivity ("sensitiveness ). Sensitivity measurements are usually concerned with the energy... 

Sensitivity Sensitivity in flame atomic emission is strongly influenced by the temperature of the excitation source and the composition of the sample matrix. Normally, sensitivity is optimized by aspirating a standard solution and adjusting the flame s composition and the height from which emission is monitored until the emission intensity is maximized. Chemical interferences, when present, decrease the sensitivity of the analysis. With plasma emission, sensitivity is less influenced by the sample matrix. In some cases, for example, a plasma calibration curve prepared using standards in a matrix of distilled water can be used for samples with more complex matrices. 

It is worthwhile to make tables or plot cuives that show the effect of variations in costs and prices on profitabihty. This procedure is called sensitivity analysis. Its purpose is to determine to which factors the profitabihty of a project is most sensitive. Sensitivity analysis should always be carried out to obseive the effect of departures from expec ted values.

Detection requirements in preparative-scale chromatography also differ from analytical erations where detectors are selected for their sensitivity. Sensitivity is not of overriding importance in preparative-scale chromatography the ability to accommodate large column flow rates and a wide linear response range are more useful. The sensitivity of the refractive index detector is usually quite adequate for prqtaratlve work but the ...

Sensitivity, sensitivity analysis Mathematical technique for determining the relative influence of an individual model parameter(s) on the predicted value. A related term, elasticity, is defined as the relative change in model prediction over the relative change in the parameter value. In a broader sense, sensitivity can refer to how conclusions change if models, data, or assessment assumptions are changed. 

In 1972, skin applications of 0.01Z and 0.1Z CS were used to determine the effects of skin pigment on susceptibility to sensitization, sensitizing and Irritating concentrations of CS, and cross-sensltlzatlon with CN. Eighty-six tests were summarized, and results are available on 45 cases. Seven of 15 subjects were sensitized In skln-plgment experiments subjects with lighter skin seemed more susceptible to sensitization. Twenty previously CS-sensltlve subjects showed no cross-reactivity to CN, although 18 developed primary Irritation dermatitis when exposed to 0.2Z CN. Four of 20 subjects developed primary Irritation dermatitis when exposed to 0.1Z CS, but not to 0.01X CS.

Sensitiveness (Sensitivity) Tests. In the so-called drop-ball test, described in NOLR 1111 (Ref 14, pp 9-4 to 9-7), using apparatus shown in this Section, Fig 1, the detonator (or primer) is inserted in an assembly shown in Fig 4. Each detonator is resting on a lead disc either 0.065 inch or 0.134 inch thick [PA-PD-124(1953), p 3l, while each primer is resting on an aluminum disc of thicknesses 0.012, 0.032 or 0.040 inches [MIL-P-14100 (Ord) (1955), 3l...

Water wet HMX is added slowly to molten TNT, while continuing to stir it and to heat, until all the water is evapd. Aluminum powder is added and the mixture continued to be stirred until uniform and then cooled, with stirring, to obtain a slurry suitable for pouring into shells or bombs to serve as their bursting charges Refs 1) G.
