Subject components

The National system of accreditation gives much attention to the training and qualification of NDT personnel. Significant subjective component, such as training and qualification of personnel, is present in NDT implementation and assessment of its results, thus all specialists carrying out NDT must be certified in compliance with CTBEH 473. 

For some conditions, a large placebo effect can be anticipated. For example, studies of hormone replacement therapies for hot flashes in postmenopausal women consistently show a 50% decline from baseline in the number of daily hot flashes in the placebo group. Therefore, in order to show significance, an active treatment must produce an effect that is substantially larger than 50%. A marked placebo response is commonly observed with any condition that has a subjective component, such as chronic pain (e.g. arthritis), episodic pain (e.g. headaches), psychological states (e.g. anxiety), and certain physiologic measurements (e.g. blood pressure). 

Transport of component i in a binary system is described by the equation of continuity [2], which is an expression for mass conservation of the subject component in the system, i.e.,...

A 28-year-old man with akathisia who was taking halo-peridol 10 mg/day for schizophrenia complained of leg restlessness, an inability to sit still, and a constant urge to move (228). Biperiden (4 mg bd for 5 days) with the subsequent addition of diazepam (10 mg/day for 3 days) had no effect. Mirtazapine (15 mg/day for 5 days) produced substantial relief of the subjective component of the akathisia, and the abnormal movements disappeared. 

My own belief is that there is an essential subjective component to the evaluation of explanations. There is a phenomenon—the "Eureka" phenomenon—that I imagine... 

Radiotracers make it possible to measure many molecular processes within different regions of the body. While it is tempting and helpful to define diseases only in terms of objective measurements, there is almost always a subjective component For example, the information in molecular medicine is almost limitless, only a small part can be quantified. 

The discussion of more objective criteria is beyond the scope of this book. In Chapter 3 we present an alternative test for normality, in which we must decide if a certain graph appears sufficiently linear. Since we must base our decision on how we judge the appearance of that plot, this test also has a subjective component and so is not much of an improvement on the one just described. 

The subjective component of risk becomes even more pronounced when the perceptions of nonspecialists, particularly members of the public, are considered. Hence successful risk management involves understanding the opinions, emotions, hopes, and fears of many people, including managers, workers, and members of the public. 

As we get mformation from meetings, interviews or questionnaires can obtain a set of quantitative values but with a high subjective component ... 

The current is the same at all points in the circuit. In this method, voltage drop across the subject resistance is measured together with the current, therefore, the calculated resistance is closer to the real value of the subject component (the conductive yam). Four-point measurement is preferable when resistance of the conductive yams is low.

AUow for differential expansion and pressure differentials. Select design for correct and exact fitting (note expansion and contraction of metals and strain creep). Forcing one part through the other and subjecting components to excessive local stress can cause adverse corrosive conditions. 

The conditions for combustion of the sample must be such that (for the full range of applicable samples) the subject components are completely converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor (except for hydrogen associated with volatile halides and sulfur oxides), and nitrogen or nitrogen oxides. Generally, instrumental conditions that affect complete combustion include availability of the oxidant, temperature, and time.
