Differential misclassification occurs when the classification of disease is dependent on the exposure status or the classification of exposure is dependent on the disease status. Differential misclassification can bias the RR in either direction, and often the direction is unknown. Some examples of differential misclassification of exposure are recall bias and observer bias. Recall bias, which is limited to case-control studies, occurs when the cases remember exposure differently than healthy controls this type of bias usually results in finding a greater effect than what is real. Observer bias can occur if the observers, such as study interviewers, incorrectly assign exposure because they know the outcome status of an individual, or it can occur in the follow-up of disease if the observer knows the exposure status of the subject. Ideally, the observer should be blind to the outcome or exposure status of the study subjects. 

Nonsymmetric shapes should not be treated as a perturbation of an ideal reference. Such shapes, as well as perfectly symmetric ones, should appear on a single continuous scale with no built-in hierarchy of subjective ideality.

It turns out that many surfaces (and many line patterns such as shown in Fig. XV-7) conform empirically to Eq. VII-20 (or Eq. VII-21) over a significant range of r (or a). Fractal surfaces thus constitute an extreme departure from ideal plane surfaces yet are amenable to mathematical analysis. There is a considerable literature on the subject, but Refs. 104-109 are representative. The fractal approach to adsorption phenomena is discussed in Section XVI-13. 

Gas mixtures are subject to the same degree of non-ideality as the one-component ( pure ) gases that were discussed in the previous section. In particular, the second virial coefficient for a gas mixture can be written as a quadratic average... 

The resistance to plastic flow can be schematically illustrated by dashpots with characteristic viscosities. The resistance to deformations within the elastic regions can be characterized by elastic springs and spring force constants. In real fibers, in contrast to ideal fibers, the mechanical behavior is best characterized by simultaneous elastic and plastic deformations. Materials that undergo simultaneous elastic and plastic effects are said to be viscoelastic. Several models describing viscoelasticity in terms of springs and dashpots in various series and parallel combinations have been proposed. The concepts of elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity have been the subjects of several excellent reviews (21,22). 

Ideally, the temperature and relative humidity during drying should be controlled if wood dries too rapidly, it is likely to spHt, check, warp, or honeycomb because of stresses. If wood dries too slowly, it is subject to development of stain and mold growth. 

The diacids are characterized by two carboxyHc acid groups attached to a linear or branched hydrocarbon chain. AUphatic, linear dicarboxyhc acids of the general formula HOOC(CH2) COOH, and branched dicarboxyhc acids are the subject of this article. The more common aUphatic diacids (oxaUc, malonic, succinic, and adipic) as weU as the common unsaturated diacids (maleic acid, fumaric acid), the dimer acids (qv), and the aromatic diacids (phthaUc acids) are not discussed here (see Adipic acid Maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and fumaric acid Malonic acid and derivatives Oxalic acid Phthalic acid and OTHERBENZENE-POLYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS SucciNic ACID AND SUCCINIC ANHYDRIDE). The bihinctionahty of the diacids makes them versatile materials, ideally suited for a variety of condensation polymerization reactions. Several diacids are commercially important chemicals that are produced in multimillion kg quantities and find appHcation in a myriad of uses. 

The thermal efficiency of the process (QE) should be compared with a thermodynamically ideal Carnot cycle, which can be done by comparing the respective indicator diagrams. These show the variation of temperamre, volume and pressure in the combustion chamber during the operating cycle. In the Carnot cycle one mole of gas is subjected to alternate isothermal and adiabatic compression or expansion at two temperatures. By die first law of thermodynamics the isothermal work done on (compression) or by the gas (expansion) is accompanied by the absorption or evolution of heat (Figure 2.2). 

Once the variability risks, and q, have been calculated, the link with the particular failure mode(s) from an FMEA for each critical characteristic is made. However, determining this link, if not already evident, can be the most subjective part of the analysis and should ideally be a team-based activity. There may be many component characteristics and failure modes in a product and the matrix must be used to methodically work through this part of the analysis. Past failure data on similar products may be useful in this respect, highlighting those areas of the product that are most affected by variation. Variation in fit, performance or service life is of particular interest since controlling these kinds of variation is most closely allied with quality and reliability (Nelson, 1996). 

Quantitative personnel needs are determined by the answer to the following questions How many people should there be ideally to perform all functions Within specific budget restrictions, how should personnel be allocated among the several functions Personnel needs in air pollution control have been the subject of several studies, from which Tables 27-2 and 27-3 have been developed to help answer these two questions.
