Three Measurement

Progress in experiment, theory, computational methods and computer power has contributed to the capability to solve increasingly complex structures [28, 29]. Figure Bl.21.5 quantifies this progress with three measures of complexity, plotted logaritlmiically the achievable two-dimensional unit cell size, the achievable number of fit parameters and the achievable number of atoms per unit cell per layer all of these measures have grown from 1 for simple clean metal... 

H) was determined for each solute, in each solvent mixture, for 10 different linear velocities ranging from 0.02 cm/sec. to 0.6 cm/sec. Three measurements were taken at each velocity, which produced a minimum of 180 values of (H) for each solute. Each data set was then fitted to each dispersion equation and the respective constants... 

In Table 2.2 the results from the use of posters and films are shown in the first three rows. Two points should be noted. First, all three measures show only short term gains. After four months the change in the pattern of use of... 

The methods outlined, of course, are readily applicable to a wide variety of substituted heterocycles like the carboxyl, hydroxy and mercapto derivatives of pyridines, pyridine 1-oxides, pyrroles, etc. The application to amines and to diaza compounds such as pyrimidine, where the two centers are basic, is obvious except that now 23 takes the role of the neutral compound, 21 and 22 the roles of the tautomeric first conjugate bases, and 20 the role of the second conjugate base. Extensions to molecules with more than two acidic or basic centers, such as aminonicotinic acid, pyrimidinecarboxylic acids, etc., are obvious although they tend to become algebraically cumbersome, involving (for three centers) three measurable Kg s, four Ay s, and fifteen ideal dissociation constants (A ), a total of twenty-two constants of which seven are independent. 

Although hardness is a somewhat nebulous term, it can be defined in terms of the tensile modulus of elasticity. From a more practical side, it is usually characterized by a combination of three measurable parameters (1) scratch resistance (2) abrasion or mar resistance and (3) indentation under load. To measure scratch resistance or hardness, an approach is where a specimen is moved laterally under a loaded diamond point. The hardness value is expressed as the load divided by the width of the scratch. In other tests, especially in the paint industry, the surface is scratched with lead pencils of different hardnesses. The hardness of the surface is defined by the pencil hardness that first causes a visible scratch. Other tests include a sand-blast spray evaluation. 

Expl Power is always measured in relative terms, ie, relative to a standard expl and expressed as a percentage. For military explosives the consensus standard is TNT, and for commercial expls the standard is usually Blasting Gelatin (see Vol 2, B211-R). Three measurement methods are in common use ... 

Micrograms of elastase inhibited after incubation for lOmin at 37°C per microgram of a-l-PI (measured immunologically) in concentrated BAL fluid mean of at least three measurements 1 SD. 

Tests were performed at 75°C using a University of Texas Model 500 spinning drop tensiometer. Active surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase prior to oil addition was 0.50% wt. The Kem River crude oil was from the Patricia Lease. The pH of the deionized water surfactant solutions was 8. The pH of the aqueous NaCl surfactant solutions was 9.5 unless otherwise noted. values represent the average deviation of two or three measurements at different times (0.75-1 h apart). D.I., deionized. 

The electrochemical experiments result in three measurements the current fluctuation through the film, the potential fluctuation across the film, and the resistance of the film. These measurements were made at intervals over the duration of the experiment. Four coatings were tested a poly(urethane), an epoxy, a barrier alkyd, and a porous alkyd. 

T — 26 1 °C. The precision thermometer measures to the nearest tenth of a degree T — 25.8 0.1 °C. An actual temperature between 25.7 and 25.9 °C falls within the precision ranges of all three measurements, so all three are correct to within their stated limits of precision. 

Prolactin serum concentrations at rest will be greater than 20 ng/mL (20 mcg/L) in men or 25 ng/mL (25 mcg/L) in women with at least three measurements. 

Analytical Techniques. Sessile drop contact angles were measured with a NRL C.A. Goniometer (Rame -Hart, Inc.) using triply distilled water. The contact angles reported are averages of 2-8 identically treated samples with at least three measurements taken on each sample. ESCA spectra were obtained on a Kratos ES-300 X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer under the control of a DS-300 Data System. Peak area measurements and band resolutions were performed with a DuPont 310 Curve Resolver. 

On the basis of a comparison of these three measures, which project would you prefer Explain your decision.

Notwithstanding different mathematical derivations and experimental determination, the following three measures are necessary as well as sufficient for the characterization of analytical procedures ... 

The next step in this study is to test this control algorithm on the actual laboratory reactor. The major difficulty is the direct measurement of the state variables in the reactor (T, M, I, W). Proposed strategy is to measure total mols of polymer (T) with visible light absorption and monomer concentration (M) with IR absorption. Initiator concentration (I) can be monitored by titrating the n-butyl lithium with water and detecting the resultant butane gas in a thermal conductivity cell. Finally W can be obtained by refractive index measurements in conjuction with the other three measurements. Preliminary experiments indicate that this strategy will result in fast and accurate measurements of the state vector x. 

Experiment 3. Estimation of residual enzyme activity in the biotest To calculate the residual activity of AChE-biotest after AChE inhibitors action on the biotest, three measurements will be done (i) measurement Dn of the biotests after incubation with substrate, (ii) measurement Dw/s after incubation without substrate and (iii) measurement Ding after incubation with substrate and inhibitor. The amount of residual activity (A) will be calculated in percentage with the following formula ...

The luminol reaction has also been used for the CL determination of organic substances such as penicillins [32] and tartrate ion [30] in pharmaceutical preparations by their inhibitory effect on the luminol-iodine and luminol-periodate-manganese(II)-TEA system, respectively. As can be seen from Table 1, the results were quite satisfactory. In the indirect determination of penicillins by their inhibitory effect on the luminol-iodine system, the stopped-flow technique improves the accuracy and precision of the analytical information obtained, and also the sample throughput [32], Thus, in only 2-3 s one can obtain the whole CL signal-versus-time profile and calculate the three measured parameters formation and... 

As an example of modeling a fluid in redox disequilibrium, we use an analysis, slightly simplified from Nordstrom et al. (1992), of a groundwater sampled near the Morro do Ferro ore district in Brazil (Table 7.2). There are three measures of oxidation state in the analysis the Eh value determined by platinum electrode, the dissolved oxygen content, and the distribution of iron between ferrous and ferric species. 

Mathematical optimization models that explicitly consider such a multi-stage structure belong to the class of multi-stage stochastic programs. A deterministic optimization model with uncertain parameters is extended to a multi-stage model by three measures ...

This says that the three measurements are within 3.9% of the average (and hopefully) true value of the object.
