Searching of one or more on-line databases is a technique increasingly used ia novelty studies. The use of such databases enables the searcher to combine indexing parameters, including national and international classifications natural language words ia the full text of patents, ia their claims, or ia abstracts suppHed by iaventor and by professional documentation services and indexing systems of various sorts. Because the various patent databases have strengths and weaknesses that complement each other, the use of multiple databases is thus pmdent, and is faciUtated by multifile and cross-file techniques provided by the various on-line hosts. 

When constmction is complete, the pipeline must be tested for leaks and strength before being put into service industry code specifies the test procedures. Water is the test fluid of choice for natural gas pipelines, and hydrostatic testing is often carried out beyond the yield strength in order to reHeve secondary stresses added during constmction or to ensure that all defects are found. Industry code limits on the hoop stress control the test pressures, which are also limited by location classification based on population. Hoop stress is calculated from the formula, S = PD/2t, where S is the hoop stress in kPa (psig) P is the internal pressure in kPa (psig), and D and T are the outside pipe diameter and nominal wall thickness, respectively, in mm (in.).

Other countries have similar types, some classifications, as in Germany, are based on age-strength levels by standard tests (70). A product made in Italy and Prance known as Perrari cement is similar to Type V and is sulfate-resistant. Such cements have high iron oxide and low alumina contents, and harden more slowly. 

A hardness classification of stone based on the compressive strength of 1-in cubes is as follows, for loadings in pounds-force per square inch veiy soft, 10,000 soft, 15,000 medium, 20,000 hard, 25,000 very hai d, 30,000. 

Binders improve the strength of compacts through increased plastic deformation or chemical bonding. They may be classified as matrix type, film type, and chemical. Komarek [Chem. Eng., 74(25), 154 (1967)] provides a classification of binders and lubricants used in the tableting of various materials. 

Generally, the slope factor is a plausible upper bound estimate of the probability of a response per unit intake of a ehemieal over a lifetime. The slope factor is used in risk assessments to estimate an upper-bound lifetime probability of an individual developing cancer as a result of e.xposure to a particular level of a potential carcinogen. Slope factors should always be accompanied by the weight-of-evidence classification to indicate the strength of the evidence that the agent is a human carcinogen. Calculational details are presented below. 

Applications of neural networks are becoming more diverse in chemistry [31-40]. Some typical applications include predicting chemical reactivity, acid strength in oxides, protein structure determination, quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR), fluid property relationships, classification of molecular spectra, group contribution, spectroscopy analysis, etc. The results reported in these areas are very encouraging and are demonstrative of the wide spectrum of applications and interest in this area. 

Clay, in one particle classification system, consists of inorganic particles less than 0.005 mm in size. In another system, clay is a fine-grained inorganic. soil that can be made plastic by adjusting the water content. When dried, clay exhibits considerable strength (i.e., clay loses its plasticity when dried and its strength when wetted). Also, it will shrink when dried and expand when moisture is added. 

Microfiber glass fleece mats are typically produced from a blend of 20 - 30 percent glass microfibers <1 //m in diameter, with the balance of the glass fibers thicker (3 - 10 //m) and longer (cf. Fig. 1), on a specialized paper machine (Fou-drinier), since this is the only way of achieving the desired tensile strength without binder. The material is supplied in roll form, even though it is normally not processed into pockets, which are not required due to the absence of free electrolyte. The classification here as a leaf separator should be seen in this sense. 

In terms of dead loads, the shape of the trench in which the pipe will be buried is also a factor. Generally speaking, a narrow trench with vertical sidewalls will impose less of a load on the pipe than will a wider trench with sloping side walls. It is necessary also to know the modulus of soil reaction (E), which is dependent on the type or classification of the native soil, the backfill material that is contemplated, and the desired consolidation of the backfill material. Soil consolidation is important, because it contributes to the strength of a flexible conduit in a buried pipe system.
