Interpretation and the Searcher. The superficial disagreement as to whether search abstracts should be interpretive or not stems from different conceptions of the meaning of "interpretive. ... 

The following examples illustrate the means of interpreting what are often referred to as direct anomalies using preferential pathway models. These direct anomalies may be either vertically over their subsurface source, or laterally displaced by varying amounts (Sokolov, 1971b Pirson, 1969 Laubmeyer, 1933). What is generally not realised is that most areas contain microfractures to the extent that they allow gases to escape vertically. 

Assessing data uncertainty is also important when judging the need to model coupled processes. For example, in the upscaling Benchmark Test of DECOVALEX III, participating teams found the means of interpreting fracture information to have a much more profound impact on calculated flow than the extent to which HM couplings were considered or not (Andersson and Knight, 2003). 

Confidence in a risk analysis depends on the completeness and accuracy of the information on which it is based, which in turn depend on the representativeness and pedigree of the sources of information. It also depends on other factors, such as the means of interpretation of the past information into predictions of the future and the assumptions involved. Analysts should understand these matters sufficiently well to determine the confidence levels that they can reasonably place on their results, and rules in the intended method will require them to do so. 

However, it is easily shown that if the mother wavelet is located in the frequency domain "around"/o (fig 8), then the wavelet a.b(t) is located around f(/a. That is to say, by the mean of the formal identification f = fata it is possible to interpret a time-scale representation as a time-frequency representation [4]. 

Flowever, it is necessary to first discuss the meaning of diffraction , because this concept can be interpreted in several ways. After these fiindamental aspects are dealt with, we will take a statistical and historical view of the field. It will be seen that many different diffraction methods are available for surface structural detemiination. 

Frequency with the dimensions of per unit time, ranges from zero to infinity and means the number of occurrences per time interval. Probability is dimensionless, ranges from zero to one, and has several definitions. The confusion between frequency and probability arises from the need to determine the probability that a given system will fail in a year. Such a calculation of probability explicitly considers the time interval and, hence, is frequency. However, considerable care must be used to ensure that calculations are dimensionally correct as well as obeying the appropriate algebra. Three interpretations of the meaning of probability are ... 

In interpreting this requirement you need to define what constitutes a work station . Is it a manufacturing cell where operations of the same type are performed or is it an individual machine Next you need to define the meaning of accessible . Does it mean visible by the operator of the machine, in a cupboard near the machine, or on a shelf in the area If a group of people work in an area equipped with several small machines of... 

These include identification of process equipment and instruments, interpretation of the meaning of their values and trends, navigation through different VDU pages by means of a selection menu, etc. The common feature of these tasks is handling the display system to search and locate relevant process data. In this respect, "classical" ergonomics checklists (see Chapter 4) are very useful in facilitating performance of such tasks. 

Thus we see that the properties of gases provide a substantial basis for developing the atomic theory. The gaseous state is, in many ways, the simplest state of matter for us to understand. The regularities we discover are susceptible to detailed mathematical interpretation. We shall examine these regularities in this chapter. We shall find that their interpretation, called the kinetic theory, provides an understanding of the meaning of temperature on the molecular level. 

A procedure for proplnts is presented by J.W. French (Ref 27), who used both OM and EM (electron microscope) to study plastisol NC curing. He found that the cure time of plastisol NC is a logarithmic function of temp, and direct functions of chemical compn and total available surface area, as well as of particle size distribution. It should be noted that extensive use of statistics is required as a time-saving means of interpreting particle size distribution data. The current state-of-the-art utilizes computer techniques to perform this function, and in addition, to obtain crystal morphology data (Ref 62)... 

The drawings produced by students allow researchers to better conceptualize how some students interpreted a balanced chemical equations. This is especially useful in assessing their understanding of stoichiometric coefficients and the meaning of subscripts of chemical formulae. 

The historical and philosophical aspects of the Copenhagen interpretation are more extensively discussed in J. Baggott (1992) The Meaning of Quantum Theory (Oxford University Press, Oxford). 

The data in each table and figure of reports submitted to sponsors should be verified by QA personnel. Team leaders, laboratory managers, field managers and the Study Director should meet routinely to discuss the meaning of the data as the study develops. This allows early discussions regarding data interpretation and allows several viewpoints to be explored, which ultimately strengthen the final report for the study. 

Some compounds exhibit pH behavior in which a bell-shaped curve is obtained with maximum instability at the peak [107]. The peak corresponds to the intersection of two sigmoidal curves that are mirror images. The two inflection points imply two acid and base dissociations responsible for the reaction. For a dibasic acid (H2A) for which the monobasic species (HA-) is most reactive, the rate will rise with pH as [HA-] increases. The maximum rate occurs at pH = (pA) + pK2)/2 (the mean of the two acid dissociation constants). Where an acid and base react, the two inflections arise from the two different molecules. The hydrolysis of penicillin G catalyzed by 3,6-bis(di-methylaminomethyl)catechol [108], is a typical example. For a systematic interpretation of pH-degradation profiles, see the review papers by van der Houwen et al. [109] and Connors [110].
