Two-dimensional mapping

These two transducer pairs are activated alternating. For this purpose an ultrasonic instrument is combined with a two channel multiplexer. Figure 8 presents a modified standard instrument USN52 which also implies a modified software. This system performs four measurements per second - alternating the velocity and the thickness are determined. The probe can be scanned over the surface and in every position both, the velocity and the wall thickness are indicated Using the serial interface of the instrument finally a two-dimensional map of velocity or thickness can be generated. 

The Kohonen network or self-organizing map (SOM) was developed by Teuvo Kohonen [11]. It can be used to classify a set of input vectors according to their similarity. The result of such a network is usually a two-dimensional map. Thus, the Kohonen network is a method for projecting objects from a multidimensional space into a two-dimensional space. This projection keeps the topology of the multidimensional space, i.e., points which are close to one another in the multidimensional space are neighbors in the two-dimensional space as well. An advantage of this method is that the results of such a mapping can easily be visualized. 

In this section, we show the morphological changes of stretched NR without filler by AFM. Two-dimensional mappings of topography and elasticity for elongated NR will be given to confirm the breakdown of the long-beheved assumption of affine deformation. 

It was shown in the earlier sections that the existence or nonexistence of quantum monodromy in two-dimensional maps depends on the relative dispositions of the critical points and relative equilibria of the Hamiltonian, which involves a search for the stationary points of with respect to K and Qk- For L = 0 there is a root at the critical point K = J, and other possible roots given by...

With this number of factors influencing the development of the map, it is not possible to specify precisely what their values should be in all cases. The most suitable values will depend on how many features are present in the sample patterns and how diverse they are, but some general guidelines can be given. In the large majority of applications, a two-dimensional map is used these are more flexible than one-dimensional maps, yet are simple... 

Two-dimensional maps are easy to visualize and are readily programmed. If the dataset is complicated, a larger two-dimensional map might be replaced... 

In the z-direction (depth-direction) the resolution is determined by the confocal instrument settings. While it is essential to be aware of the limitations of confocal measurements, as mentioned above, it is possible to create three-dimensional maps. That means probing a sample in the x, y and z-directions. In Figure 2 the data cube of a two-dimensional map is shown. One element (row) of the cube has been picked out and its content enlarged on the right side of the figure. It is evident that each row therefore contains the information of a whole spectrum.

In four samples, all from Bamana sculptures, the signal of haem has been detected. The intensity is different for the diverse samples, which means that the state of conservation of haem is variable depending on each sample. Nevertheless, the two-dimensional mapping... 

Electron-hole pairs are only produced in areas illuminated by the light and spatially resolved photocurrents can be achieved using a focused scanning beam. Therefore the main advantage of LAPS is that it can work as a chemical imaging sensor the light-addressability of the LAPS allows one to obtain a two-dimensional map of the distribution of the ion concentration. 

In this way, the vectors at nodes in different regions in the two-dimensional map gradually evolve to represent different classes of sample (Figure 13). If, by way of example, the database contained information on a large numbers of solvents, with data on their ability to dissolve a variety of common solids, once training was complete, those solvents that were effective... 

Conformational Maos and surfaces. The conformational maps in Figures 3 and 4 are very small sections of the true conformational surfaces of 136 dimensions (3 coordinates per atom plus one for the energy). The special choice of

conformational features are described well by just those two. One should just not forget that, on moving from one point to another, many coordinates may change appreciable, within a small energy interval. In consequence, a point in the two-dimensional map represents an entire "family" of points in 135—dimensional space. 

Figure 18 shows a two-dimensional map in which the phase behavior is plotted for a SOWA system containing mixtures of octyl acid and octyl amine for which the pH of the acid-soap transition (pH = 7) is lower than the pH for the amine-ammonium transition (pH = 9). Hence, in the 7-9 range of pH, both the acid-soap and amine-ammonium systems exhibits a WI phase behavior, which means a predominance of the ionic species.

From Sato et al.438 Notice the cavities (dark) and domain structures (light). The black arrow marks a constriction between upper (extracelllar) and lower (cytoplasmic) cavities. White lines indicate approximate position of the lipid bilayer. From Sato et al.i38 Courtesy of Chikara Sato.

An example of the LC/MS analysis of aplant extract is shown in Figure A.3A.3. In this case, negative ion ESI-MS was used in combination with C18 reversed-phase HPLC separation. Extracts of the botanical Trifolium pratense (red clover) are used as dietary supplements by menopausal and post-menopausal women (Liu et al., 2001). The two-dimensional map illustrates the amount of information that may be...
