A significant revision to the SMR scheme was introduced in 1991 in response to consumer desire for greater consistency in natural mbber (13). Other producing countries have similar specification schemes (14), as does the International Standards Organization (ISO) (15). An example of the specifications for TSR is given in Table 1 for the present Standard Malaysian scheme. Except for SMR 5, rheograph and cure test data (delta torque, optimum cure time, and scorch) are provided. 

ERA promulgated the basic set of current ambient air-quality standards in April 1971. The specific regulated pollutants were particulates, sulfur dioxide, photochemical oxidants, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. In 1978, lead was added. Table 25-1 enumerates the present standards. 

Static fluid loss measurements, which are the present standardized testing method, provide inadequate results for comparing fracturing fluid materials or for understanding the complex mechanisms of viscous fluid invasion, filter-cake formation, and filter-cake erosion [ 1806]. On the other hand, dynamic fluid loss studies have inadequately addressed the development of proper laboratory methods, which has led to erroneous and conflicting results. 

The present standard of treatment for TTP is urgent plasma exchange (PEX). If PEX is unavailable, treatment with plasma infusion and glucocorticoids is indicated until PEX is available.34... 

Carbonium ions are well-defined transition states in many reactions. Indeed, one of the earliest applications of MM method to the reactivity problem was concerned with carbonium ions. At present, only the Schleyer force field (26b) and its predecessor (253) are capable of handhng carbonium ions, although the parameterization principle used earlier can be readily improved upon to the present standards. Schleyer s measure of steric strain in carbonium ions, Ajtrain (the difference in steric energies of free carbonium ion and its... 

Identification of organic components of ambient aerosols and estimation of the contributions of various pathways are of immediate interest for control strat es and could by achieved by using the existing monitoring networks so as to provide more information on aerosol chemical composition. In view of the adverse effects (e.g., on health and visibility) associated with submicrometer aerosols, an air quality standard for submicrometer particles might be more adequate than the present standard for total suspended particles. 

Identification is considerably improved by the use of multiwavelength detection and absorbance ratioing. It was possible to analyse some commercial hair dyes with the method described here. However, several substances were found that could not be identified with the present standard substances. Recent results in this laboratory make a possible improvement of the chromatography probable. Future work will consider this aspect and an increased number of standard substances (17) will be examined. 

Since the present standard U(l) electrodynamics model forbids electrical power systems with COP > 1.0, my colleagues and I also studied the derivation of that model, which is recognized to contain flaws due to its > 136-year-old basis. We particularly examined how it developed, how it was changed, and how we came to have the Lorentz-regauged Maxwell-Heaviside equations model ubiquitously used today, particularly with respect to the design, manufacture, and use of electrical power systems. 

The installed capacities for hydrotreating distillates are predominantly moderate-pressure reactors (up to 3 MPa). Typical conditions used in today s commercial processes are summarized in Table IV (7). In the U.S., the Clean Air Act mandated that low-emission fuels will have to be developed for future use. Industry responded quickly, and by 1994 typical diesel fuels in the U.S. contained 0.05% S, with average cetane numbers of 42 and 31-37% aromatics. California imposed stricter standards, requiring 0.05% S and a minimum of 48 cetane with an emission that did not exceed that of a 10% aromatic fuel. This is the present standard for California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification. Through the development of improved processing and additives that lower emissions, Chevron was the... 

A number of pendulum methods have been standardised over the years but the present ISO standard, ISO 46628 is not based on any particular pendulum design but on giving limits for various parameters. A few years ago, extensive interlaboratory investigations were carried out within TC45 to determine the effect of pendulum parameters on measured resilience and the conclusions from those investigations has led to the present standard. 

There was previously a separate ISO standard for adhesion in shear but this was withdrawn in favour of extending the standard for shear modulus to allow the test to be continued to the failure point, i.e. the two methods have been combined. The composite method is contained in ISO 182715 and uses the same quadruple element test piece as did the separate adhesion standard. The double sandwich construction is intended to provide a very stiff test piece which will remain in alignment under high stresses. The present standard quadruple test piece uses rubber elements 4 1 mm thick and 20 5 mm long and these tolerances are much less tight than previously. The measured adhesion strength in shear is less affected by the test piece shape factor then tension tests8 and the wider tolerances should be perfectly satisfactory. The test piece is strained at a rate of 50 mm/min, in line with the speed for most other adhesion to metal tests, and the result expressed as the maximum force divided by the total bonded area of one of the double sandwiches. The British equivalent BS 903 Part A 1416 is identical. 

Our preliminary economic analysis of the chemical hydride slurry cycle indicates that hydrogen can be produced for 3.65/GJ ( 3.85/MMBtu) based on a carbon cost of 1.35/GJ ( 1.42/MMBtu) and a plant sized to serve a million cars per day. This compares to current costs of approximately 5.75/GJ ( 6.06/MMBtu) to produce hydrogen from 2.85/GJ ( 3.00/MMBtu) natural gas, and 24.50/GJ ( 25.83/MMBtu) to produce hydrogen by electrolysis from 0.05 per kWh electricity. The present standard for production of hydrogen from renewable energy is photovoltaic-electrolysis at 41.80/GJ ( 44.07/MMBtu). Costs have been derived from Padro (1999). 

The prediction of rocket propellant specific impulse, as well as impulse under other conditions, may be reliably accomplished by calculation using as input the chemical composition, the heat of formation, and the density of the component propellant chemicals. Not only impulse but also the composition of exhaust species (and of species in the combustion chamber and the throat) may be calculated if the thermodynamic properties of the chemical species involved are known or can be estimated. The present standard computer code for such calculations is that described by Gordon and McBride.44 Theoretical performance predictions using such programs are widely used to guide propellant formulation efforts and to predict rocket propellant performance however, verification of actual performance is necessary.

A9.4.3.2.2 The present standard methods for investigating degradability of chemical substances are developed for readily soluble test compounds. However, many organic substances are only slightly soluble in water. As the standard tests require 2-100 mg/1 of the test substance, sufficient availability may not be reached for substances with a low water solubility. Tests with continuous mixing and/or an increased exposure time, or tests with a special design where concentrations of the test substance lower than the water solubility have been employed, may be available on slightly soluble compounds.

In some pharmaceutical industry circles, there is the belief that the stringent specifications that rule pharmaceutical processes have no comparison with the food and dairy industries. " Actually, almost the reverse is true the present standards and specifications for tubing fabrication and their product/solution contact surfaces, as well as the installation of systems, have their origin in the dairy industry through the well-recognized 3-A Sanitary Standards and Accepted Practices (Numbers 33-00, and 605-04). Published by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), formerly known as the International Association of Milk, Food and Environmental Sanitarians (lAMFES), these standards and practices cover first. 

In most labs that perform sensitivity tests on clinical HIV isolates, the HeLa CD4+ plaque reduction assay has been replaced by the more generally useful peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-based culture system. More than 80% of clinical isolates can be grown in PBMCs, but selection of variant strains cannot be excluded. Japour et al. (5) developed a widely used standardized protocol for drug susceptibility testing in PBMCs. This protocol can be considered the present standard and is called ACTG-DoD protocol (AIDS Clinical Trials Group, Department of Defense). It is described in Subheading 2. 

This result is identical with Henryks law [equation (36.3)], and so on the basis of the present standard state, a2/N2 will be unity, or as will equal N2, for all solutions obeying Henry s law. The activity coefficient 7n, equal to U2/N2, of the solute in any solution may thus be used to indicate its obedience of Henry s law. It is for this reason that the activity coefficient defined in this manner has been called the rational activity coefficient. 

A discussion of the present standards of temperature measurement is preceded by a discussion of the history of thermometry. The goal of Sanctorius, the first person to perceive the potential usefulness of the thermometer in medicine, has not changed in principle since the early seventeenth century. He hoped to obtain quantitative measurements rather than subjective appraisals. For us, this should be a caution not to ignore careful temperature measurements as we study complex reactions. 

This third section is dedicated to test methods, with specific reference to the present standard and to the new proposal that is going to be approved by the European Community during 2010. In European Community these are the directives that have promoted boiler efficiency ...
