Successful outcomes

Development of weighted residual finite element schemes that can yield stable solutions for hyperbolic partial differential equations has been the subject of a considerable amount of research. The most successful outcome of these attempts is the development of the streamline upwinding technique by Brooks and Hughes (1982). The basic concept in the streamline upwinding is to modify the weighting function in the Galerkin scheme as...

Nature For an experiment in which successive outcomes can be classified into two or more categories and the probabilities associated with the respective outcomes remain constant, then the experiment can be characterized through the multinomial distribution.

Any major materials development programme, such as that on the eutectic superalloys, can only be undertaken if a successful outcome would be cost effective. As Fig. 20.10 shows, the costs of development can be colossal. Even before a new material is out of the laboratory, 5 to 10 million pounds (8 to 15 million dollars) can have been spent, and failure in an engine test can be expensive. Because the performance of a new alloy cannot finally be verified until it has been extensively flight-tested, at each stage of development risk decisions have to be taken whether to press ahead, or cut losses and abandon the programme. 

The measured pressure drops were slightly greater than literature data would indicate for packed carbon beds. However, they are certainly not prohibitive and a successful outcome of the Westinghouse trial of the SOFC guard bed is anticipated. 

Relapse rates after detoxification are very high. Although extension of the withdrawal period for up to 6 months does not appear to improve outcome (Sees et al. 2000), patients who have received methadone maintenance and who have a good therapeutic relationship have more successful outcomes.

Chance (or serendipity as embittered biotech CEOs like to call it) plays a major factor in the successful outcome of an R D program. External forces in the marketplace can make or break small companies hence the environment is highly volatile and subject to change rapidly. 

A chemical synthesis requires the proper amounts of starting materials for a successful outcome. Just as a cake recipe provides the amounts of ingredients needed for successful baking, a balanced chemical equation is a chemical recipe for successful synthesis. For example, how many grams of hydrogen do we need to produce 68 g of ammonia To find out, we begin with the balanced chemical equation N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3... 

In practice it is usually unnecessary to determine exact pulse widths for each sample we can use approximate values determined for each probe-head, except in certain 2D experiments in which the accuracy of pulse widths employed is critical for a successful outcome. Proper tuning of the probehead is advisable, since pulse widths will normally not vary beyond 10% with well-tuned probeheads. 

Accurate calibration of pulse lengths is essential for the success of most 2D NMR experiments. Wide variations (>20%) in the setting of pulse lengths may significantly reduce sensitivity and may lead to the appearance of artifact signals. In some experiments, such as inverse NMR experiments, accurately set pulse lengths are even more critical for successful outcomes. 

At the end of the 2D experiment, we will have acquired a set of N FIDs composed of quadrature data points, with N /2 points from channel A and points from channel B, acquired with sequential (alternate) sampling. How the data are processed is critical for a successful outcome. The data processing involves (a) dc (direct current) correction (performed automatically by the instrument software), (b) apodization (window multiplication) of the <2 time-domain data, (c) Fourier transformation and phase correction, (d) window multiplication of the t domain data and phase correction (unless it is a magnitude or a power-mode spectrum, in which case phase correction is not required), (e) complex Fourier transformation in Fu (f) coaddition of real and imaginary data (if phase-sensitive representation is required) to give a magnitude (M) or a power-mode (P) spectrum. Additional steps may be tilting, symmetrization, and calculation of projections. A schematic representation of the steps involved is presented in Fig. 3.5. 

The successful outcome in cholesterol management is to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides below the NCEP ATP III goals in an effort to alter the natural course of atherosclerosis and decrease future cardiovascular events. 

Successful outcomes in solid-organ transplantation generally are measured in terms of several separate end points (1) preventing acute rejection (2) increasing 1-year graft survival ... 

After selection and initiation of antimicrobial regimen, there are a number of additional patient care and monitoring considerations that should be addressed to improve the likelihood of a successful outcome. Patient education, deescalation of antimicrobial therapy based on culture results, monitoring for clinical response and adverse effects, and appropriate duration of therapy are important. 

If symptoms do not improve, the patient should be evaluated for persistent infection. There are many reasons for poor patient outcome with intraabdominal infection improper antimicrobial selection is only one. The patient maybe immunocompromised, which decreases the likelihood of successful outcome with any regimen. It is impossible for antimicrobials to compensate for a nonfunctioning immune system. There may be surgical reasons for poor patient outcome. Failure to identify all intraabdominal foci of infection or leaks from a GI anastomosis may cause continued intraabdominal infection. Even when intraabdominal infection is controlled, accompanying organ system failure, most often renal or respiratory, may lead to patient demise. 

As is often the case, predictions were not always fulfilled. Theory can be helpful in the search for molecules that are useful (dyes), human-friendly (medications), or functional (materials), but cannot necessarily guarantee a successful outcome. The creativity and knowledge as well as the experience and intuition of the researcher are not replaceable. 

Random Variables Applied statistics deals with quantitative data. In tossing a fair coin the successive outcomes would tend to be different, with heads and tails occurring randomly over a period of time. Given a long strand of synthetic fiber, the tensile strength of successive samples would tend to vary significantly from sample to sample. 

Second, we described the successful outcomes of Ap immunotherapy in mutant mice with Ap amyloidosis. Unfortunately, in humans, although Phase 1 trials with Ap peptide and adjuvant vaccination were not associated with any adverse events, Phase 2 trials were suspended because of severe adverse reactions (meningoencephalitis) in a subset of patients [79,90]. The pathology in a single case, consistent with T-cell meningitis [90], was interpreted to show some clearance of Ap deposits, yet these regions... 

The work on this book was one of the successful outcomes from the activities of the NEXUS User Supplier Club on Household Appliances. We wish the members well and hope for a successful continuation of these activities in the future. 

The idea behind the experiment is to let the biomass growth rate change from zero to its maximum value. By adding a known amount of substrate under controlled conditions, the interpretation of the OUR response can be described by the model concept (cf. Table 7.1) and the four central process parameters can be determined. The following two conditions are important for a successful outcome of the experiment ... 

In conclusion, a successful outcome to any research on catalysts is most likely to be achieved by using a combination of spectroscopic techniques applied under conditions as close as possible to those of the reaction in which the catalyst operates and also by using an integrated approach in which experts from catalysis and spectroscopy work closely together. 

We can now write the successful outcome, assuming that the success indicator will be defined somewhere. Effects are guaranteed with the success indicator ...

Personnel with proper training, skills, and experience are critical to the successful outcome of an incident investigation. This chapter describes team composition as a function of incident type, complexity, and severity as well as suggested training topics. It also provides team leaders with a high-level overview of the basic team activities typically required in the course of conducting an investigation.
