Subject process

Comfort. In the past, the evaluation of fabric or garment comfort has been a subjective process influenced by such variables as temperature, insulating efficiency, moisture absorption, drying speed, softness, bulk, fabric constmction, and air permeability. Human factors must also be considered. 

Measuring employee understanding of appropriate quality objectives is again a subjective process. Through the data analysis carried out to meet the requirements of clause 4.1.5 and 4.2.8 you will have produced metrics that indicate whether your quality objectives are being achieved. If they are being achieved you could either assume your employees understand the quality objectives or you could conclude that it doesn t matter. However, it does matter as the standard requires a measurement. Results alone are insufficient evidence. The results may have been achieved by pure chance and in six months time your performance may have declined significantly. The only way to test... 

Due to the mainly qualitative nature of PCA, DFA, and HCA, the role of PyMS in microbiology has been somewhat restricted. For example, using these clustering methods, the use of PyMS to identify microorganisms can be a subjective process because it relies on the interpretation of complex scatter plots and dendrograms. Furthermore the qualitative nature of PCA, DFA, and FICA prevents the application of PyMS to quantitative microbial analysis, while limitations also arise from batch-to-batch variation of PyMS data.80... 

Any engineer with knowledge of the subject process should be able to use a checklist. 

Nonetheless, Kandinsky was certainly not the first artist (even in Germany) to employ concepts potentially indicative of radical pictorial abstraction see Lankheit. Besides noting der Primat der Musik in the subjective process of dematerialization, Lankheit usefully discusses important philosophical precedents coming from Wackenroder, Tieck, and Novalis.

Draw a smooth curve that best represents all the points, such a curve may not necessarily pass through any of the points This is the sixth guideline given for curve construction on p 65. In all of the figures of this chapter, we have assumed that this has indeed been done Nevertheless, curve drawing is a rather subjective process, prone to many abuses, unless some objective rules are... 

In practice, the choice of an optimal number of PCs to retain in the PCA model (A) is a rather subjective process, which balances the need to explain as much of the original data as possible with the need to avoid incorporating too much noise into the PCA data representation (overfitting). The issue of overfitting is discussed later in Section 8.3.7.

Technical evaluation is a subjective process and, as such, should reflect the consensus of several evaluators working both independently and as a group. Appendix F is an example of an actual technical evaluation for a conventional project. 

Based on the preceding discussion, it is clear that the processes used to establish the reliability and relevance of an alternative method are distinct. The confirmation of alternative method reliability is an objective process, since it provides data measured in the laboratory during a validation study. The assessment of relevance is a subjective process, since it is based on the evaluation and integration of... 

But even with the assistance of computers, job evaluation remains a subjective process that involves substantial judgment. The computer is only a tool, and misused, it can generate impractical, illogical, and absurd results (Korukonda 1996). 

Process Heaters. The subject process heaters are located in a refinety which is in an ozone non-attainment area. The No. 1 process heater bums refinery off-gas at 52,750 MJ/hr or 50 MMBtu/hr heat input The No. 2 heater fires at 186,735 MJ/hr or 177 MMBtu/hr with refmery off-gas and supplemental natural gas. The use of urea-based SNCR reduced NOx emissions of No. 1 furnace heater from approximately 100 ppm to 30 ppm or 70% (Figure 7). The NOx emissions of No. 2 fiimace heater was reduced fom 90 ppm to 38 ppm or 58% (Figure 8). This... 

As noted in many places in the preceding material, it is the responsibility of the laboratory director to make these decisions. Risk assessment is ultimately a subjective process, but it is recommended that decisions should be biased toward more safety rather than less. 

Both young and older subjects process the relational statements at the end of a paragraph, but only the older ones give these statements the status of a transition between the current topic and the possible next one for them, the processing of such statements improve their selection strategy. 

What really makes the ergonomics of the system is that it can reply, in real time, to the subjects processes of treatment in a very particular situation. Actually, the most important is clearly determined by the processes which are supposed to be those of the subjects. That means that the system must be modelled on the way we think the subjects function mentally. This is, in sum, a good way to validate our hypotheses. 

Risk mapping is a subjective process where the risks are broadly classified based on risk occurrence and risk impact. Risk occurrence measures the likelihood of that risk event happening and is subjectively assessed as high or low. Risk impact is used as an all-embracing term that covers financial loss, market share, stock prices, etc. Risk impact is also assessed subjectively as high or low. Based on the assessment of risk occurrence and risk impact, a 2 x 2 matrix of risk map can be constructed as shown in Figure 7.1 (Elkins et al., 2008a). 

SCOP, CATH, and DDD agree on most of their classifications, despite differences in the classification methods they have implemented, and in the rules of protein structure and taxonomy they are based on. Hadley and Jones were the first to publish a detailed comparison of the fold classifications produced by SCOP, CATH, and FSSP. They showed that the three classification systems tend to agree in most cases, and that the discrepancies and inconsistencies are accounted for by a small number of problems. Among these, the domain assignment plays a crucial role. As mentioned, the separation of proteins into domains is a difficult and often subjective process. Many... 

The size and hence geographical distribution of investigational sites needed for the large cardiovascular safety outcome trials discussed in Chap. 13 mean that there can be a considerable degree of variability in the identification of cardiovascular endpoints of interest since classification of events as actual study endpoints is a partially subjective process based on the application of a complex set of medical endpoint criteria to an often complex clinical event. Regulatory agencies therefore require the centralized adjudication of these events to control for the impact of this variability in identification and thereby to generate data for use in statistical analyses that are as standardized as possible. 

Redundancy, measurable and quantifiable, can be removed in the coder and replaced again in the decoder, a process often referred to as statistical compression. On the other hand, irrelevancy, referred to as perceptual coding, once removed from the signal cannot be replaced and is irretrievably lost. This is entirely a subjective process with each proprietary algorithm using a different psychoacoustic model.
