Table of contrast coefficient

Now, we augment this matrix with a column of positive signs — the first one — plus another whose signs are the products, element by element, of the signs in the T and C columns. This gives us a 4 x 4 matrix, which we call the table of contrast coefficients ...

Transforming the table of contrast coefficients into an X matrix with +1 or -1 elements, we can calculate all effects (except for the divisors) by means of the X y product, where y is a column vector containing the average yields of the runs. Thus, we obtain...

In Table 3.16 the columns of contrast coefficients for the two-factor interactions are given. They were obtained using the above stated rules. The contrast coefficients for three- and higher-order interactions can be... 

The interaction effects are calculated similarly to the main effects using Eq. (6.5) by using the so-called contrast coefficients. These coefficients are determined from the columns for the main factors. The column of contrast coefficients for the interaction AB, for instance, is obtained by multiplying the corresponding values in the main factor columns for A and B. In Table 6.3 the columns of contrast coefficients for all possible interactions are shown. The interaction effects obtained using Eq. (6.5) for the example of Table 6.1 are also shown in Table 6.2.

In order to decode the effects and interactions the full design matrix with all the contrast coefficients (columns) is needed. This is shown in Table 4. The T column contains the data of all the CRF values and is used to calculate the overall mean effect. 

The normal way of carrying out such decoding calculations is by use of specialised software or a customised spreadsheet. However, for the purposes of illustration, the calculation process will be described. Basically, all that is required is to superimpose the sign convention of the contrast coefficients onto the experimental responses and perform some simple arithmetic. For this example, the calculations are shown in Table 5. 

In contrast to the results returned by FINEST, the output is clearly labeled, and additional statistical data is provided. Regression data for the example shown in Figure 11-1 is shown in the three tables of Figure 11-14. Three tables are produced regression statistics, analysis of variance, and regression coefficients. (The coefficients table has been broken into two parts to fit the page.)... 

The steady-state rate equation for the random mechanism will also simplify to the form of Eq. (1) if the relative values of the velocity constants are such that net reaction is largely confined to one of the alternative pathways from reactants to products, of course. It is important, however, that dissociation of the coenzymes from the reactant ternary complexes need not be excluded. Thus, considering the reaction from left to right in Eq. (13), if k-2 k-i, then product dissociation will be effectively confined to the upper pathway this condition can be demonstrated by isotope exchange experiments (Section II,C). Further, if kakiB kik-3 -f- kikiA, then the rate of net reaction through EB will be small compared with that through EA 39). The rate equation is then the same as that for the simple ordered mechanism, except that a is now a function of the dissociation constant for A from the ternary complex, k-i/ki, as well as fci (Table I). Thus, Eqs. (5), (6), and (7) do not hold instead, l/4> < fci and ab/ a b < fc-i, and this mechanism can account for anomalous maximum rate relations. In contrast to the ordered mechanism with isomeric complexes, however, the same values for these two functions of kinetic coefficients would not be expected if an alterna-... 

We may take the results of the 2 factorial study of an effervescent table formulation reported earlier, and select the data corresponding to the 12 experiments of table 3.31. Estimates of the coefficients obtained either by contrasts or by the usual method of multi-linear regression are very close to those estimated from the... 

Note that the contrast coefficients for estimating the interaction effect are just the product of the corresponding coefficients for the two main effects. The contrast coefficient is always either +1 or -1, and a table of plus and minus signs such as in Table A5 can be used to determine the proper sign for each treatment combination. 

The results of hand calculations and the four simulation softwares are shown in Table 8.5. Results reveal that hand calculations and those obtained from the software packages were in good agreement. The result obtained by PRO/II is close to hand calculations, in contrast, the results obtained using SuperPro Designer were far from hand calculations and other software packages, accurate values of partition coefficients may give better results. 

Humidity does not affect the permeabihty, diffusion coefficient, or solubihty coefficient of flavor/aroma compounds in vinyhdene chloride copolymer films. Studies based on /n j -2-hexenal and D-limonene from 0 to 100% rh showed no difference in these transport properties (97,98). The permeabihties and diffusion coefficients of /n j -2-hexenal in two barrier polymers are compared in Table 12. Humidity does not affect the vinyhdene chloride copolymer. In contrast, transport in an EVOH film is strongly plasticized by humidity. 

The other principal thermal properties of plastics which are relevant to design are thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion. Compared with most materials, plastics offer very low values of thermal conductivity, particularly if they are foamed. Fig. 1.10 shows comparisons between the thermal conductivity of a selection of metals, plastics and building materials. In contrast to their low conductivity, plastics have high coefficients of expansion when compared with metals. This is illustrated in Fig. 1.11 and Table 1.8 gives fuller information on the thermal properties of pl tics and metals. 

Although the viscosity B-coefficients for the fluorides are not known, we see. that the value for the ionic entropy of F" listed in Table 45 is — 2.3 + 2, very different from the value +13.5 for Cl". The value for F- is, in fact, very near the value —2.49 for (OH)-. We have then the very interesting question, whether the activities of the fluorides will fall in line with the other halides. In structure the ion F" certainly resembles Cl" and the other halide ions but according to the tentative scheme proposed above, we should perhaps focus attention on the solvent in the co-sphere of each ion. In this case we should expect to obtain for the fluorides a family of curves similar to that of the hydroxides, in contrast to that of the chlorides. The activities are known as a function of concentration for NaF and KF only. It is found that the curve for NaF lies below that of KF—that is to say, the order is the same as that of NaOH and KOII, in contrast to that of NaCl and KC1. 

The first kinetic study appears to have been that of Martinsen148, who found that the sulphonation of 4-nitrotoluene in 99.4-100.54 wt. % sulphuric acid was first-order in aromatic and apparently zeroth-order in sulphur trioxide, the rate being very susceptible to the water concentration. By contrast, Ioffe149 considered the reaction to be first-order in both aromatic and sulphur trioxide, but the experimental data of both workers was inconclusive. The first-order dependence upon aromatic concentration was confirmed by Pinnow150, who determined the equilibrium concentrations of quinol and quinolsulphonic acid after reacting mixtures of these with 40-70 wt. % sulphuric acid at temperatures between 50 and 100 °C the first-order rate coefficients for sulphonation and desulphonation are given in Tables 34 and 35. The logarithms of the rate coefficients for sulphonation...
