Subject defined

Flammability, the tendency of a material to bum, can only be subjectively defined. Many materials that we normally do not consider flammable will bum, given high enough temperatures. Neither can flammability be gauged by the heat content of materials. Fuel oil has a higher heat content than many materials considered more flammable because of their lower flashpoint. In fact, flashpoint has become the... 

Per-protocol All patients who did not experience a subjectively defined serious protocol violation during the study. 

The area where the response surface has been constructed is called the factor space. The area taken by factor axes is often considered as the factor space. A response function does not have to be geometrically interpreted in a three-dimensional space for a research subject defined by only two factors. For such a presenta-... 

Product (article) properties are in principle determined by combinations of intrinsic and "added" properties. However, the correlations between these basic properties and the (more or less subjectively defined) product properties are often complex and only partly understood. They are "system-related". 

The concept behind the design of this testing protocol is that the plastic sample is delivered to a mammalian fibroblast culture. Once this exposure is made, the culture is evaluated for signs that the cells are interacting with the plastic or its leachants. Although some reaction is permissible, a subjectively defined upper limit is set beyond which the plastic or elastomeric container or closure will fail the test. The test protocol includes a positive control and a negative control in addition to the sample to assure that the system is valid. 

Though subjectively defined, and often not intensively investigated with the necessary field and laboratory studies, the phenomenon of instability has been noted for TEPP resistance 22.), the organotin acaricides (24-26), propargite (fi.), dicofol (see below), and formetanate hydrochloride. Noteworthy contradictions regarding resistance stability exist. Welty et al. (22) found resistance to cyhexatin in Panonychus ulmi to be stable in two field... 

Incipient decay of exterior surfaces. The external surface of the artifact has been diminished. The inner structure remains solid and retains normative characteristics. A simple field test can be made by measuring the resistance or depth of penetration while probing with a narrow-gauge needle along the grain axis. The region of decay can be subjectively defined for depth and scope. 

Figure 6.11 Loadings plots for the attribute thickness from the FP of a set of ten paper tissues. The plot on the left-hand side represents the loadings from the pooled GPA for the whole panel. On the right-hand side are the results (loadings and score plots) from three separate GPAs performed respectively on three classes of subjects defined from cluster analysis.

The fundamentals of electronics have evolved to include a wide range of knowledge, empirical data, and a broad range of practice. The focus of this handbook is on the key concepts, models, and equations that enable the engineer to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of complex electrical devices, circuits, instruments, and systems. The reader will find the key concepts of each subject defined, described, and illustrated where appropriate, practical applications are given as well.
