For a two-factor system, such as the quantitative analysis for vanadium described earlier, the response surface is a flat or curved plane plotted in three dimensions. For example. Figure 14.2a shows the response surface for a system obeying the equation... 

The computation just outlined is easily extended to any number of factors. For a system with three factors, for example, a 2 factorial design can be used to determine the parameters for the empirical model described by the following equation... 

Electrodes. At least three factors need to be considered ia electrode selection as the technical development of an electroorganic reaction moves from the laboratory cell to the commercial system. First is the selection of the lowest cost form of the conductive material that both produces the desired electrode reactions and possesses stmctural iategrity. Second is the preservation of the active life of the electrodes. The final factor is the conductivity of the electrode material within the context of cell design. An ia-depth discussion of electrode materials for electroorganic synthesis as well as a detailed discussion of the influence of electrode materials on reaction path (electrocatalysis) are available (25,26). A general account of electrodes for iadustrial processes is also available (27).

A company s culture can make or break even a well-designed data collection system. Essential requirements are minimal use of blame, freedom from fear of reprisals, and feedback which indicates that the information being generated is being used to make changes that will be beneficial to everybody. All three factors are vital for the success of a data collection system and are all, to a certain extent, under the control of management. To illustrate the effect of the absence of such factors, here is an extract from the report into the Challenger space shuttle disaster ... 

For catastrophic demand-related pump failures, the variability is explained by the following factors listed in their order of importance system application, pump driver, operating mode, reactor type, pump type, and unidentified plant-specific influences. Quantitative failure rate adjustments are provided for the effects of these factors. In the case of catastrophic time-dependent pump failures, the failure rate variability is explained by three factors reactor type, pump driver, and unidentified plant-specific Influences. Point and confidence interval failure rate estimates are provided for each selected pump by considering the influential factors. Both types of estimates represent an improvement over the estimates computed exclusively from the data on each pump. The coded IPRDS data used in the analysis is provided in an appendix. A similar treatment applies to the valve data. 

In modern practice, inhibitors are rarely used in the form of single compounds — particularly in near-neutral solutions. It is much more usual for formulations made up from two, three or more inhibitors to be employed. Three factors are responsible for this approach. Firstly, because individual inhibitors are effective with only a limited number of metals the protection of multi-metal systems requires the presence of more than one inhibitor. (Toxicity and pollution considerations frequently prevent the use of chromates as universal inhibitors.) Secondly, because of the separate advantages possessed by inhibitors of the anodic and cathodic types it is sometimes of benefit to use a formulation composed of examples from each type. This procedure often results in improved protection above that given by either type alone and makes it possible to use lower inhibitor concentrations. The third factor relates to the use of halide ions to improve the action of organic inhibitors in acid solutions. The halides are not, strictly speaking, acting as inhibitors in this sense, and their function is to assist in the adsorption of the inhibitor on to the metal surface. The second and third of these methods are often referred to as synergised treatments. 

Spiroketals based upon such structures as l,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (18), occur frequently in natural products. Accordingly, an extensive amount of literature relates to the isolation and total synthesis of this type of compound. This literature was reviewed104 in 1989. The authors of Ref. 104 listed three factors that influence conformational preferences in these systems. They are (7) steric influences, (2) anomeric and related effects, and (3) intramolecular hydrogen bonding and other chelation effects. 

These authors proposed a uniform mean-field HF (UMHF) procedure which involves orbital occupancy constraints and correction of resonance energy by non-empirical factors. This UMHF method yields the dissociation energies of three-electron systems in satisfactory agreement with accurate calculation performed in the same basis set. 

If very little is known about a system, the three factors are varied over large intervals this maximizes the chances that large effects will be found with a minimum of experiments, and that an optimal combination of factors is rapidly approached (for example, new analytical method to be created, no boundary conditions to hinder investigator).

Yang and Russell [7] made comparison of lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis in three different systems organic, biphasic, and reversed micelles. They affirmed that water content is an important factor that distinctly affects every system. Their results demonstrated that activity of lipase in organic-aqueous biphasic media was lower than that obtained in reversed micelles. However, better productivities were obtained in biphasic media, which were the most suitable environment. 

The explanations for the relative rates of reaction have been based on three factors (1) The rate of reaction increases as the electron density in the diene system increases thus isoprene reacts faster than butadiene and a complex electron-rich 2-silylmethylbutadiene reacts even faster. (2) The rate of reaction increases as the steric hindrance due to the diene substituents decreases thus frans-piperylene reacts more slowly than dimethylbu-tadiene or isoprene. (3) A decrease in the equilibrium concentration of the cisoid conformer results in a slower reaction rate thus cw-piperylene or cis/trans-2,4-hexadiene react more slowly than /rans-piperylene or transltrans-2,4-hexadiene, respectively.175177... 

For 10-fold 13C labelled retinal, it has been shown that the differences between chemical shifts for polyene chain carbons of the chromophore in its native environment and detergent-solubilised system were small67 Analysis of the environment of the Schiff base has supported the model of stabilisation based on the protonation by a complex counterion. Three factors were responsible for the excessive positive charge in polyene (i) electronegative nitrogen, (ii) protonation and (iii) counterion strength. 

In Table 7 the six-membered monocyclic dienes are represented by the conjugated 1,3-cyclohexadiene and its isomer 1,4-cyclohexadiene. 1,3-Cyclohexadiene has a nonplanar equilibrium conformation that is primarily influenced by three factors -electron interaction (optimal for a planar conformation) angle strain and torsion strain (both optimal for a planar conformation). The reduced overlap between the two --orbital systems is, for the observed C=C—C=C angle of 18°, estimated at ca 10% and should therefore not influence the conjugation stabilization drastically, compared to a conformation with coplanar C=C bonds.
