The second level of access is the laboratories and cleanroom, dependent on the training matrix described previously. Once the entrance requirements have been met, the BNC identification card is activated for the appropriate area. The cleanroom is a scan-in/scan-out system such that the cleanroom population is always known. The laboratories are scan-in only. 

A training matrix (Reference 19) has been developed that includes the names of personnel required to complete 24-hour staffing of the organization. 

A comparative review of the list of ERO positions and responsibilities and the training matrix of ERO positions versus EP training assignments indicates that all ERO positions involved with offsite protective action decision-making are required to attend training on emergency classification, protective action recommendations, dose assessment, and accident assessment. 

The SRS Emergency Plan section on emergency preparedness training has been reviewed by the staff, and specific dose assessment training is listed on the training matrix for all ERO positions involved with dose assessment. This training includes operations of the WINDS and dose assessment programs.

Now, one may ask, what if we are going to use Feed-Forward Neural Networks with the Back-Propagation learning rule Then, obviously, SVD can be used as a data transformation technique. PCA and SVD are often used as synonyms. Below we shall use PCA in the classical context and SVD in the case when it is applied to the data matrix before training any neural network, i.e., Kohonen s Self-Organizing Maps, or Counter-Propagation Neural Networks. 

The profits from using this approach are dear. Any neural network applied as a mapping device between independent variables and responses requires more computational time and resources than PCR or PLS. Therefore, an increase in the dimensionality of the input (characteristic) vector results in a significant increase in computation time. As our observations have shown, the same is not the case with PLS. Therefore, SVD as a data transformation technique enables one to apply as many molecular descriptors as are at one s disposal, but finally to use latent variables as an input vector of much lower dimensionality for training neural networks. Again, SVD concentrates most of the relevant information (very often about 95 %) in a few initial columns of die scores matrix. 

First, one can check whether a randomly compiled test set is within the modeling space, before employing it for PCA/PLS applications. Suppose one has calculated the scores matrix T and the loading matrix P with the help of a training set. Let z be the characteristic vector (that is, the set of independent variables) of an object in a test set. Then, we first must calculate the scores vector of the object (Eq. (14)). 

This book is an introduction to computational chemistr y, molecular mechanics, and molecular orbital calculations, using a personal mieroeomputer. No speeial eom-putational skills are assumed of the reader aside from the ability to read and write a simple program in BASIC. No mathematieal training beyond ealeulus is assumed. A few elements of matrix algebra are introdueed in Chapter 3 and used throughout. 

Sintered Materials or Cermets. Heavy weights and high landing speeds of modem aircraft or high speed trains require friction materials that ate extremely stable thermally. Organic or semimetallic friction matenals ate frequendy unsatisfactory for these appHcations. Cermet friction materials ate metal-bonded ceramic compositions (see Composite materials) (12—14). The metal matrix may be copper or iron (15). 

Experience has shown that reactive chemistry hazards are sometimes undetected during bench scale and pilot plant development of new products and processes. Reactive chemistry hazards must be identified so they can be addressed in the inherent safety review process. Chemists should be encouraged and trained to explore reactive chemistry of "off-normal operations. Simple reactive chemicals screening tools, such as the interactions matrix described in Section 4.2, can be used by R D chemists. 

Feed-back models can be constructed and trained. In a constructed model, the weight matrix is created by adding the output product of every input pattern vector with itself or with an associated input. After construction, a partial or inaccurate input pattern can be presented to the network and, after a time, the network converges to one of the original input patterns. Hopfield and BAM are two well-known constructed feed-back models. 

The FCC process is very complex and many scenarios can upset operations. If the upset condition is not corrected or controlled, each scenario could lead to a reversal. Table 8-1 contains a cause/effect shutdown matrix indicating scenarios in which a shutdown (reversal) could take place. In most cases, a unit shutdown is not necessary if adequate warning (low alarms before low/low shutdowns) is provided. The operating staff must be trained to respond to these warnings. 

A data set containing measurements on a set of known samples and used to develop a calibration is called a training set. The known samples are sometimes called the calibration samples. A training set consists of an absorbance matrix containing spectra that are measured as carefully as possible and a concentration matrix containing concentration values determined by a reliable, independent referee method. 

When we measure the spectrum of an unknown sample, we assemble it into an absorbance matrix. If we are measuring a single unknown sample, our unknown absorbance matrix will have only one column (for MLR or PCR) or one row (for PLS). If we measure the spectra of a number of unknown samples, we can assemble them together into a single unknown absorbance matrix just as we assemble training or validation spectra. 

We will also create validation data containing samples for which the concentrations of the 3 known components are allowed to extend beyond the range of concentrations spanned in the training sets. We will assemble 8 of these overrange samples into a concentration matrix called C4. The concentration value for each of the 3 known components in each sample will be chosen randomly from a uniform distribution of random numbers between 0 and 2.5. The concentration value for the 4th component in each sample will be chosen randomly from a uniform distribution of random numbers between 0 and 1. 

To produce a calibration using classical least-squares, we start with a training set consisting of a concentration matrix, C, and an absorbance matrix, A, for known calibration samples. We then solve for the matrix, K. Each column of K will each hold the spectrum of one of the pure components. Since the data in C and A contain noise, there will, in general, be no exact solution for equation [29]. So, we must find the best least-squares solution for equation [29]. In other words, we want to find K such that the sum of the squares of the errors is minimized. The errors are the difference between the measured spectra, A, and the spectra calculated by multiplying K and C ... 

We now use CLS to generate calibrations from our two training sets, A1 and A2. For each training set, we will get matrices, Kl and K2, respectively, containing the best least-squares estimates for the spectra of pure components 1-3, and matrices, Kl i and K2cnl, each containing 3 rows of calibration coefficients, one row for each of the 3 components we will predict. First, we will compare the estimated pure component spectra to the actual spectra we started with. Next, we will see how well each calibration matrix is able to predict the concentrations of the samples that were used to generate that calibration. Finally, we will see how well each calibration is able to predict the... 

Calculate a calibration matrix using all of the training set samples except for one. 

A is the original training set absorbance matrix Vc is the matrix containing the basis vectors, one column for each factor retained. 

Now, we are ready to apply PCR to our simulated data set. For each training set absorbance matrix, A1 and A2, we will find all of the possible eigenvectors. Then, we will decide how many to keep as our basis set. Next, we will construct calibrations by using ILS in the new coordinate system defined by the basis set. Finally, we will use the calibrations to predict the concentrations for our validation sets.
