Specificity graphic representation

Dose-Response Cune A graphical representation of the quantitative relationship between the administered, applied, or internal dose of a chemical or agent, and a specific biological response to that chemical or agent. 

A graphical representation as shown in Figure 19.11. This is drawn in the logarithm-logarithm format and allows a rapid estimate of pressure loss to be expected. Note that this particular chart is in imperial units and is drawn for use with town gas. A correction for specific gravity would be needed for natural gas. 

A mass spectrum is a graphic representation of the ions observed by the mass spectrometer over a specified range of m/z values. The output is in the form of an x,y plot in which the x-axis is the mass-to-charge scale and the y-axis is the intensity scale. If an ion is observed at an m/z value, a line is drawn representing the response of the detector to that ionic species. The mass spectrum will contain peaks that represent fragment ions as well as the molecular ion (see Figure 1.3). Interpretation of a mass spectrum identifies, confirms, or determines the quantity of a specific compound.

The problem they chose for their prototype is part of the life support system, specifically the portion that removes COg from the cabin atmosphere. This system already has been constructed, and NASA engineers are already familiar with its operation and how it can fail. Using this information they were able to build as part of their knowledge base a simple simulation for the modes of failure of each of the components in the system. The life support system is modular, in that portions of it can be replaced, once a problem has been isolated. The graphical representation chosen for the instrument schematic and panel is shown in Figure 3. 

One underlying principle of classical statistics is that any observation in nature has an uncertainty associated with it. One extension of this principle is that multiple observations of the same object will result in a distribution of values. One common graphical representation of a distribution of values is the histogram, where the frequency of occurrence of a value is plotted versus the value. Many statistical tools are based on a specific type of distribution, namely the Gaussian, or Normal distribution, which has the following mathematical form ... 

The primary purpose of any quality control scheme is to identify ("flag") significant performance changes. The two-sample quality control scheme described above effectively identifies performance changes and permits separation of random and systematic error contributions. It also permits rapid evaluation of a specific analytical result relative to previous data. Graphical representation of these data provide effective anomaly detection. The quality control scheme presented here uses two slightly different plot formats to depict performance behavior. 

Figure 5.4 is a graphical representation of these mixed flow performance equations. For any specific kinetic form the equations can be written out directly. 

Figure 15.9 Graphical representation of the calculation of the near-surface specific light absorption rate, k°, for para-nitro-acetophe-none (PNAP) for a clear-sky midday, midsummer at 40°N latitude. The shaded area corresponds to the total rate. Note that the y axes are on logarithmic scales.

Graphical representation of the activation and polymerization phenomena of drying oils is possible by means of the specific refraction and the iodine value74, as shown in Fig. 84.

Figure 1 shows a graphical representation of some 297 Technical purity data points. This example was produced by a microcomputer (Hewlett-Packard 98A5B/System 45 Database) in our Quality Control Section. This statistical information is helpful to the Formulation Chemist for designing formulations and assigning formula specifications. It was produced quickly and accurately with minimum effort. 

From a practical perspective, an isotherm is a graphical representation of how much of a specific contaminant is effectively removed by a given weight of sorbent, and it is a means to this end. It allows the refiner to judge between sorbent efficiencies, i.e., which clay will be more economically efficient. However, from a theoretical interest in studying the nature of adsorption, it is a means to empirically determine the manner by which an adsorbate is removed by the sorbent and mathematically define the adsorptive nature of a sorbent. 

Appendix B-4 shows electronegativity values for a larger set of elements. Any set can be used for the prediction of bond angles and molecular shape specific sets are more useful for the calculation of properties for which they are designed. A graphic representation of electronegativity is in Figure 8-1.
