Special Extensions

A central system demands much more planning for administrating and performing updates. Especially, global installations only offer a few slots, where no user is working in the system, for example, performing a reboot of the server. For the installation of updates that need to be distributed on all servers and clients at the same time, several hours of even days are required, where the system is not available for the daily operation. 

For many years, CDS manufacturers have implemented new functionahties in the system that are now offered by a modern CDS and that cover almost all requirements for the operation in laboratory. Unfortunately, usabihty has suffered with the implementation of new functionahties. Most systems require a 5-day training course, in order to qualify the user for running the most important functions. For upcoming functional changes and enhancements that are implemented by a software update in the current CDS installation, new concepts are necessary in the future, in order to avoid a comphcate operation and missing transparency. 

With the release of Chromeleon 7, JhermoSCIENTIFlC has focused on usability aspects by reducing forcefuUy the number of required chcks for performing a special task and by offering a modern graphical user interface in the style of MS Office. MS Office 2007 only displays the menu items that are required for the selected task. 

Apple has demonstrated how the user acceptance of a product will increase by an elaborate usability. It will be interesting to see how manufacturer, especially Waters, is going to provide for this challenge with its new product UNIFI. 

Already today, different supphers offer extensions and interfaces to their CDS. Those extensions increase the functional scope of the software or solve special problems or requirements. Some of these ideas are demonstrated in the following sections.

A special extension of SMILES is USMILES (sometimes described as Broad SMILES) [23-25]. This Unique SMILES of Daylight is a canonical representation of a structure. This means that the coding is independent of the internal atomic numbering and results always in the same canonical, unambiguous, and unique description of the compound, granted by an algorithm (see Section 2.5.2). 

Low-temperature thermistors are usually made from nonstoichiometric iron oxides and have a resistance sensitivity of around 15% per Kelvin at 20 K.17 Thermistors act as ohmic conductors at any fixed temperature. Therefore, one advantage of using a thermistor is that ordinary copper wiring may be used to build the circuit reference junctions and special extension wires are not needed.14 Thermistors are generally quite stable to long-term fluctuations after an initial aging period.

The crosslinking process is specially extensive in the solid state in the presence of external initiators, photo-initiators and sensitizers [Refs. 40, 362, 393, 489, 503, 505, 632]. For example the decomposition of di-tert-butylperoxalate in polypropylene in the absence of oxygen gives a tightly crosslinked polymer. When the decomposition is carried out in the presence of oxygen, the polymer instead softens [405]. Benzophenone and its derivatives induce the crosslinking of solid polyethylene on exposure to UV light [Refs. 138, 469, 470, 665]. Table 4 shows the influence of various photosensitizers on the amounts of the gel fraction produced in solid polyethylene exposed to UV radiation. 

Data for over half of the Series content is made available through INTIB s agreement with Materials Information, which was originally negotiated in 1989 and renewed in 1992, together with a special extension to cover the co-publication of this Series. 

The. hkl file consists of one line per reflection in FORMAT (3I4,2F8.2,I4) for h, k, 1, Fl, a (Fq), and (optionally) a batch number. This file should be terminated by a record with all items zero individual data sets within the file should not be separated from one another—the batch numbers serve to distinguish among groups of reflections for which separate scale factors are to be refined. The reflection order and the batch number order are unimportant. The. hkl file is read when the hklf instruction (which terminates the. ins file) is encountered. The HKLF instruction specifies the format of the. hkl file, and allows scale factors and a reorientation matrix to be applied. Lorentz, polarization and absorption corrections are assumed to have been applied to the data in the. hkl file. Note that there are special extensions to the. hkl format for Laue and powder data, as well as for twinned crystals that cannot be handled by a TWIN instruction alone. 

Both harmonic and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) methods take advantage of nonlinearity in the E-I response of electrochemiced interfaces to determine corrosion rate [47-50]. A special application of harmonic methods involves harmonic impedance spectroscopy [5i]. The EFM method uses one or more a-c voltage perturbations in order to extract corrosion rate. The electrochemical frequency modulation method has been described in the literature [47-50] and has recently been reviewed [52]. In the most often used EFM method, a potential perturbation by two sine waves of different frequencies is applied across a corroding metal interface. The E-I behavior of corroding interfaces is typically nonlinear, so that such a potential perturbation in the form of a sine wave at one or more frequencies can result in a current response at the same and at other frequencies. The result of such a potential perturbation is various AC current responses at various frequencies such as zero, harmonic, and intermodulation. The magnitude of these current responses can be used to extract information on the corrosion rate of the electrochemical interface or conversely the reduction-oxidation rate of an interface dominated by redox reactions as well as the Tafel parameters. This is an advantage over LPR and EIS methods, which can provide the Z( ) and, at = 0, the polarization resistance of the corroding interface, but do not uniquely determine Tafel parameters in the same set of data. Separate erqreriments must be used to define Tafel parameters. A special extension of the method involves... 

In order to facilitate proper representation of sequential operations, several special extensions are adopted in this study (David Alla, 1994 Drath, 1998b Bowden, 2000). Following is a list of specific places and transitions used in the proposed PN models. 

In a special extension of this technique, the mass-analyzed primary ions are neutralized to form a beam of dissociating neutrals, whose products are reionized to form an NR mass spectrum (McLafferty et al. 1980a Wesdemiotis and McLafferty 1987 Holmes 1989 McLafferty 1990). Such dissociation of the... 

The insight into the different problem aspects will be combined in Chapter 7. In this chapter we shall consider the most complex situations, with orders with different priorities and for different types. Firm-initiated lead times are proposed for the orders, based on a preliminary production plan. There is a given probability that the customer withdraws an order if the proposed lead time is too long. The orders will be produced on several machines. Some types of products can be produced on one machine, other types on two machines. This complicates the production planning, but even in this situation we can use a simple production rule, based on the (x,7)-rule, in combination with some special extensions. Finally, we will give the conclusions of our study in Chapter 8.
