The Goals

If the goal is to maximize profit, NPV is used. If the supply of capital is restricted (which is usual), DCFRR is used to decide which projects will use the capital most efficiently. 

Reducing ash content and Increasing anti-oxidant and dispersant efficiencies are among the goals needed to improve the quality of future lubricants. 

In the experiments, the probabilities were estimated from the processed signal by means of a histogram. It is well known that the entropy is large for nearly uniform distributions and small for distributions with few peaks. Thus it is an interesting candidate as a performance measure when the goal is to process a signal to become more easily interpreted. 

This article presents methods of synthesis and objective control of special flat optical elements (computer-synthesized holograms) as elements of protection. Due to the limited number of pages, we cannot go into great detail to explain the technology of how computer-synthesized holograms are created. The goal of this publication is to discuss following subjects ... 

The standard will make a substantial contribution toward the achievement of the goal "Radioscopy - as much as possible radiography - as much as necessary . 

At present time, our company is running a development project on the production technology of the MCB type X-ray tubes. The goals of this project are the improvement of the existing technology and making available new tube designs in the near future. 

The goal of URT is to obtain reflectivity images from back-scattered measurements. This consists in a Fourier synthesis problem, and the first task is to correctly cover the frequency space of the "object" r. Let for simplicity the dimension of the physical space be 2. 

We now proceed to some examples of this Fourier transfonn view of optical spectroscopy. Consider, for example, the UV absorption spectnun of CO2, shown in figure Al.6.11. The spectnuu is seen to have a long progression of vibrational features, each with fairly unifonu shape and width. Wliat is the physical interpretation of tliis vibrational progression and what is the origin of the width of the features The goal is to come up with a dynamical model that leads to a wavepacket autocorrelation fiinction whose Fourier transfonn... 

Catalysis spans chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and biology. The goal here is to enliven the subject with diverse examples showing the microscopic details of catalysis. 

It should be mentioned that as well as for metals the passivation of semiconductors (particularly on Si, GaAs, InP) is also a subject of intense investigation. However, the goal is mostly not the suppression of corrosion but either the fonnation of a dielectric layer that can be exploited for devices (MIS stmctures) or the minimization of interface states (dangling bonds) on the semiconductor surface [63, 64]. 

The goal of any nanocrystal characterization is to identify the position of every atom in a single nanocrystal, as well as... 

Multichannel time-resolved spectral data are best analysed in a global fashion using nonlinear least squares algoritlims, e.g., a simplex search, to fit multiple first order processes to all wavelengtli data simultaneously. The goal in tliis case is to find tire time-dependent spectral contributions of all reactant, intennediate and final product species present. In matrix fonn tliis is A(X, t) = BC, where A is tire data matrix, rows indexed by wavelengtli and columns by time, B contains spectra as columns and C contains time-dependent concentrations of all species arranged in rows. 

The location of the crossing seam (or seam) for an X3 system is established from the requirement that /-ab = rec = r c, where j-ab, rec, and fAc are the interatomic distances. Since the goal are the the geometric properties produced by this seam, hyperspherical coordinates (p,0,atomic masses are equal, say iiiB = me, the seam is defined [5] by... 

In the derivation we used the exact expansion for X t), but an approximate expression for the last two integrals, in which we approximate the potential derivative by a constant at Xq- The optimization of the action S with respect to all the Fourier coefficients, shows that the action is optimal when all the d are zero. These coefficients correspond to frequencies larger than if/At. Therefore, the optimal solution does not contain contributions from these modes. Elimination of the fast modes from a trajectory, which are thought to be less relevant to the long time scale behavior of a dynamical system, has been the goal of numerous previous studies.
