The Cut-off Point

The various examples expatiating the importance and utility of cut-off point may be observed in the following typical instances  

However, it has been reported that a positive enhancement in the physical characteristics usually take place with the ascending homologous series, such as viscosity, surface activity, boiling point and above all the partition coefficient but the water-solubility decreases appreeiably. 

Salient Features The various salient features of cut-off point are as stated under  

Meticulous and intensive in-depth studies in this particular aspect has practically failed to justify and quantify steric characteristics in comparison to quantifying either electronic or hydrophobic

For a given large molecule, there are very many more non-bonded interactions than bonded ones. Molecular-mechanics force fields often truncate the non-bonded interactions at some finite distance, in order to save on computer resource. A number of ingenious algorithms have been proposed in order to ensure the continuity of the potential at the cut-off point. 

The supply cuiwe is useful because it shows which measures should be selected first—the ones on the left—and the cumulative energy savings. Measures with CCEs less than the price of the saved energy are cost-effective. In the example, an energy price line has been drawn to show the cut off point those measures below the energy price line are cost-effective. 

However, contrary to other mentoring relationships, the cut-off point is more visible in these types of programs as it ends as soon as the mentee has acquired the competency in question. There might, of course, be some informal arrangement for the mentee to contact the mentor should any further issues arise which the mentee cannot solve alone. 

Figure 8 Measure of delocalisation of each defect type predicted by resonance theory. The loops enclose centres which have numbers of classical structures larger than. 74 times the greatest number in the type. The cut-off point for type bi (or type 63) centres is particularly arbitrary since the delocalisation is spread around the equator. The small circles are the point of muonium attachment. The dotted circle is coincident with the equator of Cra-...

For tests designed to detect the presence or absence of an analyte, the threshold concentration that can be detected can be determined from replicate measurements over a range of concentrations. These data can be used to establish at what concentration a cut-off point can be drawn between reliable detection and non-detection. At each concentration level, it may be necessary to measure approximately ten replicates. The cut-off point depends on the number of false negative results that can be tolerated. It can be seen from Table 4.7 that for the given example the positive identification of the analyte is not reliable below 100 xg g-1. 

Report results on a fresh weight basis, since that is how farmers apply organic manures to land. Mass/mass for solid manures, mass/volume for slurries, with the cut-off point at approx. 10% DM content.

The diamonds first recognized by Lewis et al. (1987) have now been traced to every class of chrondritic meteorite (Alexander et al. 1990 Huss 1990 Russell et al. 1991) and are known to occur as a component within the matrix. The amounts available for extraction reach a maximum of 900 ppm but decline to nothing in higher petrologic grades. The cut-off point in unequilibrated ordinary chondrites is about type 3.6 but for enstatite chondrites the type 4s still contain diamond. Progressive... 

For a solvent that is not listed, the procedure for estimating the M number is to determine the cut-off point for miscibility using a sequence of known solvents. A correction term of 15 is then either added or subtracted, whichever is appropriate. Solvents used in these tests should of course be pure. After the miscibility number is determined, an experiment should be run to verify the solubility of the two solvents. For example, if a liquid has borderline solubility in dimethyl sulfoxide (M = 9), the M number assigned is 24. On the other hand, if an unknown liquid was borderline soluble in p-xylene (M = 24) its M number is estimated to be 9. Reference 20 has a list of approximately 400 liquids and should be consulted by those who are interested. 

Control of the inlet and outlet flow rates determines the positions of the inlet and outlet splitting planes and allows the adjustment of the cut-off point between the two fractions and enhancement of the efficiency of the separation [338,339]. The feed stream enters through a, while the flow from b compresses the sample feed flow upward into a band sometimes only 10 or 20 pm thick. This compression is determined by the flow rate ratio. Similarly, the outlet splitting is controlled by the ratio of flow rates from a and b. Conditions for successful separations in SPLITT channels by modifications to the inlet and outlet splits has been discussed in detail by Giddings [340]. 

We calculate X over the bulk region defined by the cut-off point. The core annihilation probabilities pnj with the specific core electron shells, described by quantum numbers n and /, can be obtained by dividing the... 

The cut-off point in the ultraviolet region is the wavelength at which the absorbance approaches 1.0 using a 1-cm cell path with water as the reference. Solvents should not be used for measurements below the cut-off point, even though a compensating reference cell is employed. The cut-off points are very dependent on the purity of the solvent used. Most of the solvents listed above are available in highly purified spectrograde quality.

Region A is the background current attributable to the supporting electrolyte, region B shows the rising faradaic current as it reaches a limiting value, and region C is the cut-off point at which the current goes off scale caused by the reduction of hydrogen ions.

At each lattice frequency there is a phonon density that is characteristic of the material considered. The phonon spectral density vanishes above a characteristic cut off frequency that is typically 1013 Hz for many solids. The cut off point of the phonon density is some orders of magnitude greater than the Larmor frequencies of nuclei currently found in NMR spectroscopy, and so there is a significant phonon density at these NMR frequencies to influence nuclear transitions. 

This rapidly became known as Lipinski s Rule of Five as all the cut-off points are multiples of five. It should be noted that substrates for biological transporters and natural products (e.g. antibiotics, fungicides, vitamins, cardiac glycosides) form exceptions to this rule.
