Series items

Sentence structure and length. If long sentences are needed to report equivalent statistics that will be evaluated together, it is helpful to keep the structure of the sentence straightforward and simple. In this kind of sentence, put the thrust of the sentence at the beginning so reviewers have a reference point for the subsequent statistics as they read them. Series items should be in order, not random, and be free of interrupting material. 

This book contains seventeen chapters on subjects concerning heat measurements and their relationship to biology and biochemistry. Also see the 1980 volume of this same series, item [63]. Several of the articles contain tabulations of data ... 

The two subsystems (a and b) are described as being in series since either failure causes the system failure in question. The mathematics of this arrangement is simple. We ADD the failure rates (or unavailabilities) of series items. Thus ... 

The surface production system consists of a series of equipment items, such as that illustrated below, which shows the maximum oil handling capacity of the items. The maximum capacity of the system is determined by the component of the system with the smallest throughput capacity. 

In a process similar to that described in the previous item, the stored data can be used to identify not just a series of compounds but specific ones. For example, any compound containing a chlorine atom is obvious from its mass spectrum, since natural chlorine occurs as two isotopes, Cl and Cl, in a ratio of. 3 1. Thus its mass spectrum will have two molecular ions separated by two mass units (35 -i- 2 = 37) in an abundance ratio of 3 1. It becomes a trivial exercise for the computer to print out only those scans in which two ions are found separated by two mass units in the abundance ratio of 3 1 (Figure 36.10). This selection of only certain ion masses is called selected ion recording (SIR) or, sometimes, selected ion monitoring (SIM, an unfortunate... 

ISO 9000. The ISO 9000 series of standards was first issued in 1987 and then updated in 1994. The ISO 9000 standard describes the selection criteria for the four standards, ISO 9001—9004. ISO 9001 is composed of 20 items covering manufactured products from design and development in R D to commercial production and after-sale service or technical support. ISO 9002 has 19 of the items in 9001 describing the requirements of a quahty system for the manufacture of an item, such as chemicals, to a specification only the requirement relating to product development is omitted. Chemical companies seldom certify to ISO 9003, which describes the quahty system for a laboratory involved in final inspection and test. Finally, ISO 9004 presents guidelines for total quahty management. 

The next item is the zero exliibited by the series eombination of the ESR of the output filter eapaeitanee and the aetual value of the output filter eapaeitor itself. Its eorner frequency is found from... 

Craig, Michaelis, Graniek and Jacobs have reeently studied the ultra-violet absorption speetra of a series of items in this group of alkaloids. 

Contract review is but one of the tasks in the contract acquisition process. These are marketing, prospect acquisition, tendering, contract negotiation, contract award, and then contract review. However, in a sales situation, you may simply have a catalog of products and services and a sales office taking orders over the telephone or over the counter. The contract review element of this operation takes a few seconds while you determine if you can supply the item requested. In an organization that produces products to specific customer requirements you may in fact carry out all the tasks in the contract acquisition process. Rather than isolate the contract review task and produce a procedure for this, your business may benefit more from a procedure or series of procedures that covers the contract acquisition process as a whole. 

A pipeline for this purpose is one joining two main plant items—for example, we might start with the line leading from the feed tank through the feed pump to the first feed heater. A series of guide words are applied to this line in turn, the words being ... 

Showa Denko K.K. started the Shodex HPLC business in 1973 by developing columns to determine the molecular weight distributions of polymers produced at its petrochemical plant. Since then, more than 600 items of columns have been developed to achieve various kinds of analyses. Among them are several series of columns that can be used for size exclusion chromatography. The abundant variety of columns is one of the important characteristics of Shodex. Any kind of analytical requirements can be satisfied by choosing the appropriate column supplied by Showa Denko. 

This discussion of sources of curvature in Br insted-type plots should suggest caution in the interpretation of observed curvature. There is a related matter, concerning particularly item 5 in this list, namely, the effect of a change in transition state structure. Br nsted-type plots are sometimes linear over quite remarkable ranges, of the order 10 pK units, and this linearity has evoked interest because it seems to be incompatible with Marcus theory, which we reviewed in Section 5.3. The Marcus equation (Eq. 5-69) for the plot of log k against log K of the same reaction series requires curvature, the slope of the plot being the coefficient a. given by Eq. (5-67). A Brjinsted plot, however, is not a Marcus plot, because it correlates rates and equilibria of different reactions. The slope p of a Br nsted plot is defined p = d log kobs/d pK, which we can expand as... 

Some equipment code systems number all items on first process flowsheet with 100 series, as C-101, C-102, P-106 to represent compressors number 101 and 102 in different services and pump 106 as the sixth pump on the sheet. The second sheet uses the 200 series, etc. This has some engineering convenience but is not always clear from the process view. 

The design and development of the Autrometer, as sketched by Behr,6 give us an excellent opportunity to indicate by reference a, number of items that were considered by its designers. (1) The need for better Coolidge tubes (9.4). The FA-100 series of x-ray tubes designed for the Autrometer has a peak of 100 kv, and a top rating of 3.5 kw with full-wave rectification, or 2.5 kw at constant potential,... 

A semiconductor microcircuit is a series of electrically intercoimected films that are laid down by chemical reactions. The successful growth and manipulation of these films depend heavily on proper design of the chemical reactors in which they are laid down, the choice of chemical reagents, separation and purification steps, and the design and operation of sophisticated control systems. Microelectronics based on microcircuits are commonly used in such consumer items as calculators, digital watches, personal computers, and microwave ovens and in information processing units that are used in communication, defense, space exploration, medicine, and education. 

Row 45, item pH A value of 4.8 in a series of values around 6.2 is highly suspicious if the calibration of the electrode involves the use of an acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer (pK = 4.6)...
