State of the art methods

Is there a well-defined and functioning training program for all personnel to insure knowledge and understanding of state-of-the-art methods and systems as they relate to their business functions ... 

Employees should have access to training that develops their work skills in order that they may use state-of-the-art methods and systems related to their particular functions. 

The EXSIM code incorporates the method proposed by Hjertager (1982b, 1989) whereby the coupling between gas flow, turbulence, and combustion are modeled based on state-of-the-art methods. The characteristics of the EXSIM code are ... 

This review outlines developments in zinc-mediated cyclopropanation from the initial reports in the 1950s through to the current state of the art methods. The presentation will rely heavily on how the evolution of mechanistic understanding aided in the rationalization and optimization of each new advance in the asymmetric process. 

If all described procedures fail, no structure determination is possible with the state-of-the-art methods demonstrated in this chapter (16). 

The models developed for log D prediction usually aim at being global ones. This, however, does not work on practice. Sheridan et al. [109] noticed that the accuracy of log D prediction of molecules decreased approximately 2-3 times (RMSE = 0.75 versus 1.5-2) as the similarity of the test molecule to the molecules in the training set (using Dice definition with the atom pair descriptors) changed from 1 to 0 (most to least similar). Thus, if a test set molecule had a very similar molecule in the training set, it was possible to accurately predict its log D value. A detailed overview of state of the art methods to access the same problem was published elsewhere [117]. 

This textbook essentially provides a survey of state-of-the art methods for polymer/additive analysis and their inherent limitations, in order to make the analyst aware of the realistic expectations of their equipment ( fitness for use ). 

The final chapter is dedicated to the state-of-the-art methods for determining lectin affinity and specificity for oligosaccharides. These play a key role in many biological processes relevant to cell communication and disease states, and are involved in cancer development and metastasis, inflammation and host-pathogen recognition. 

SOPPA(CCSD) and RAS332 SD is interchanged. One can therefore conclude that for the molecules studied here the results of SOPPA(CCSD) calculations are comparable to results of other state-of-the-art methods. 

Vermeire et al. (1999) have published a discussion paper with focus on assessment factors for human health risk assessment. The status quo with regard to assessment factors is reviewed and the paper discusses the development of a formal, harmonized set of assessment factors. Options are presented for a set of default values and probabilistic distributions for assessment factors based on the state of the art. Methods of combining default values or probabUistic distributions of assessment factors (Section 5.11) are also described. In relation to assessment factors, the authors recommended ... 

Concerning the VEE, we have chosen, as standard references for comparison, the EOM-CCSD results from Stanton et al. [56] and from Comeau and Bartlett [57]. Results from other very efficient state-of-the-art methods such as Exponentially Generated Cl or the now widely used CASPT2 could also have been used. In general, these are methods from which mean errors in VEE less than 0.2 eV might be expected provided that the basis set used is at least of split-valence plus polarization quality and it is augmented in a well-conditioned way to account for Rydberg states. 

In the 1950s, many basic nuclear properties and phenomena were qualitatively understood in terms of single-particle and/or collective degrees of freedom. A hot topic was the study of collective excitations of nuclei such as giant dipole resonance or shape vibrations, and the state-of-the-art method was the nuclear shell model plus random phase approximation (RPA). With improved experimental precision and theoretical ambitions in the 1960s, the nuclear many-body problem was born. The importance of the ground-state correlations for the transition amplitudes to excited states was recognized. 

We have seen that the state-of-the-art methods for spraying or immersing the desulfurization slag in water have the potential to cause difficult air emissions and industrial hygiene problems. Several foundry companies and research groups have evaluated three different basic types of reactors for treatment of calcium carbide desulfurization slag. 

The next ten chapters should provide the reader with state-of-the-art methods in glycoside and oligosaccharide synthesis from leading researchers in the field. 

State-of-the-art methods include the combination of source apportionment models with high time-resolved source apportionment techniques for organic aerosols datasets using the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS), obtaining contributions from primary organic emissions from traffic [60, 61]. 

S/S, S/L, and S/G interfaces of many types occur in most solar devices, often with several in close proximity. To extrapolate from short-term laboratory behavior to 30-year lifetimes requires an atomic-level mechanistic understanding of the degradation processes occurring at interfaces. The latter, in turn, require using state-of-the-art methods of microcharacterization that yield structural, chemical, or electronic information with a lateral spatial resolution approaching atomic dimensions (14). 

Model reduction involves the identification and elimination of such parts of a model that are unrelated to some specific features of a model. The nature of such features might vary from situation to situation. In the core-box modeling framework, the feature in focus is identifiability (and agreement) with respect to the available data. We first review the state-of-the-art methods for identifiability, and then those for model reduction.
