The treatment principle

Composing a formula is a process where several conditions must be fulfilled. First, one must make a clear syndrome differentiation, establish the treatment principles, select treatment methods and figure out the most suitable strategies. One should then follow the model of formula structure, selecting appropriate herbs to play specific roles in the formula and ensuring that treatment strategies are fully expressed. 

Following the treatment principle, which is established in accordance with the syndrome differentiation, a formula can be composed. A formula is neither a group of herbs that treat all symptoms nor a combination that only treats the main syndrome. It has a structure where herbs are organized in order to meet the needs of the treatment. The structure of a formula contains four parts, namely the chief, the deputy, the assistant(s) and the envoy. Each of these has specific functions in the formula. 

Next, an appropriate treatment principle to treat the presenting syndrome is established. For example, to treat an excess heat syndrome in the Lung, the treatment principle is to reduce the heat, nourish the Yin, regulate the Lung-Qi and, at a later stage, strengthen the Lung-Qi. 

Heat can stay in different internal organs and cause different symptoms, but the treatment principles and principles of herb selection are the same. Thus these are introduced first. 

Although there are only five herbs, the formula clearly shows the treatment principles and strategies and it is both a good formula to study and an effective formula to use in clinical practice. 

They follow the treatment principle at this stage. 

In the diagnosis, the syndrome of dampness can be divided into damp-cold syndrome and damp-heat syndrome, which are decided by constitution and dietary habit of the individual, as well as the nature of the pathogenic factors. The treatment principles and the strategies of composing formulas are quite different in these two types. For clarity, these two syndromes are discussed separately. 

Figure 24-4 is an algorithm that summarizes many of the treatment principles discussed in this chapter. The algorithm is an example of one approach to the adult patient presenting with hypovolemic shock. It presumes that initial rehydration attempts (i.e., outpatient or prehospital) were unsuccessful in restoring circulation. Obviously, modifications may be needed for patient-specific forms of hypovolemic shock. Other limitations of the algorithm should be recognized, particularly the decisions to add or to substitute colloid or...

The treatment of these issues will be discussed jointly with the health, safety and environment (HSE) departments within the company and with the process and facilities engineers, and their treatment should be designed in conjunction with an environmental impact assessment. Some of the important basic principles for waste management are to ... 

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an introduction to tlie basic framework of quantum mechanics, with an emphasis on aspects that are most relevant for the study of atoms and molecules. After siumnarizing the basic principles of the subject that represent required knowledge for all students of physical chemistry, the independent-particle approximation so important in molecular quantum mechanics is introduced. A significant effort is made to describe this approach in detail and to coimnunicate how it is used as a foundation for qualitative understanding and as a basis for more accurate treatments. Following this, the basic teclmiques used in accurate calculations that go beyond the independent-particle picture (variational method and perturbation theory) are described, with some attention given to how they are actually used in practical calculations. 

An excellent treatment of molecular quantum mechanics, on a level comparable to that of Szabo and Ostiund. The scope of this book is quite different, however, as it focuses mainly on the basic principles of quantum mechanics and the theoretical treatment of spectroscopy. 

The principles of operation of quadnipole mass spectrometers were first described in the late 1950s by Wolfgang Paul who shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physics for this development. The equations governing the motion of an ion in a quadnipole field are quite complex and it is not the scope of the present article to provide the reader with a complete treatment. Rather, the basic principles of operation will be described, the reader being referred to several excellent sources for more complete infonnation [13, H and 15].

The picture here is of uncoupled Gaussian functions roaming over the PES, driven by classical mechanics. The coefficients then add the quantum mechanics, building up the nuclear wavepacket from the Gaussian basis set. This makes the treatment of non-adiabatic effects simple, as the coefficients are driven by the Hamiltonian matrices, and these elements couple basis functions on different surfaces, allowing hansfer of population between the states. As a variational principle was used to derive these equations, the coefficients describe the time dependence of the wavepacket as accurately as possible using the given...

The KDF Filter. The KDP filter (Pig. 23) (Amafilter, Holland) is based on the same principle as disk filters. It was developed for the treatment of mineral raw materials, like coal flotation concentrates or cement slurries, and can produce a filter cake of low moisture content at very high capacities, up... 

Through-type separators are more effective for larger municipal and industrial treatment faciHfies. The operating principles are the same, but flow is through a trough rather than a column. 

The basic principles of swimming-pool water treatment also apply to spas and hot tubs. However, spas and tubs are not miniature swimming pools but are unique in treatment requkements because of use patterns and a high ratio of bather to water. Eor example, four people in a 1.9-m (500-gal) spa or tub have a sanitizer demand equal to 160 people in a 75.7-m (20,000-gal) swimming pool.
