Strauss Plot

Strauss Plot R. Strauss (Chem. Eng., pp. 112-116, Mar. 25, 1968) developed a sensitivity plot, in Fig. 9-14, in which the ordinate is a measure of profitabihty and the abscissa is the change in a variable greater than (or less than) the value used in the base case. Where the abscissa crosses the ordinate is the result of the base case of NPW, return, annual worth, etc. The slope of a line on this spider plot is the degree of change in profitability resulting from a change in a... 

As discussed in Sect. 2, the empirical Fuos Strauss plot does not yield infonnation on the conformational change of polyions... 

Thus plots of IC50 as a function of [ TPP under conditions of Strauss and Goldstein s zone B allow one to simultaneously determine the values of Kfpp and [E T using Equations (7.13) and (7.15). Later in this chapter we will see other methods by which tight binding inhibitors can be used to provide accurate determinations of the total concentration of catalytically active enzyme in a sample. 

Fig. 19. Partial pressure of Te2(g) along the CdTe(s) three-phase curve, upper left, and along the HgTe(s) three-phase curve plotted on a log scale versus 1000/T Uppermost line labeled P° is the vapor pressure of Te(l). Short line segments are for liquids with labeled atom fraction . Experimental points for CdTe are from Brebrick (1971b), those for HgTe are from Su et al. (1981) and Brebrick and Strauss (1965).

Strauss et al. [28] has developed a numerical method for the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation 4 > 25 mV for this spherical particle in a spherical cell geometry. Figure 11.5 is a plot of the osmotic pressure for a suspension of identical particles with 100 mV surface potential and KU = 3.3. In this figure, the configurational osmotic pressure is also given and is much smaller than that of the osmotic pressure due to the double layer. The osmotic pressure increases with increased volume fraction due to the further overlap of the double layers sur-roimding each particle. 

For polyelectrolytes (charged polymers), a plot of rjgp/c versus c may be a curve. An alternate expression of Fuoss and Strauss (1948) can be used (Chamberlain and Rao, 2000) ... 

Fig. 2. Carbon isotopic values (with error bars) of individual Precambrian microfossils from single stratigraphic horizons of three geologic units measured by ion microprobe mass spectrometry compared with those of the carbonate and total organic carbon measured in bulk samples of the same geologic units. Values plotted for carbonate and total organic carbon are from Strauss and Moore (1992) for microfossils from the Bitter Springs and Gunflint Formations, from House et al (2000) and those for microfossils from the Dresser Formation, from Ueno et al. (2001).

The Fuoss-Strauss formula has obvious fiaws, perhaps most significantly, it does not predict the observed maximum in plots of rjjc vs c. Strong evidence also...
