Typical responses

It is clear that, apart from the production regime, other factors may influence the freight values obtained (film type, regeneration quotes, electrolysis unit,. ..). In case of G335SF in combination with STRUCTURIX SILVERFIX, which has a maximum current of 3A and a typical response of 4 A.l/g, I5m of film per day is judged to be the maximum production to meet silver freights below 50 mg/m. ... 

The above FF controller can be implemented using analog elements or more commonly by a digital computer. Figure 8-33 compares typical responses for PID FB control, steady-state FF control (.s = 0), dynamic FF control, and combined FF/FB control. In practice, the engineer can tune K, and Tl in the field to improve the performance oTthe FF controller. The feedforward controller can also be simplified to provide steady-state feedforward control. This is done by setting. s = 0 in Gj. s). This might be appropriate if there is uncertainty in the dynamic models for Gl and Gp. 

In principle, the step-response coefficients can be determined from the output response to a step change in the input. A typical response to a unit step change in input u is shown in Fig. 8-43. The step response coefficients are simply the values of the output variable at the samphng instants, after the initial value y(0) has been subtracted. Theoretically, they can be determined from a single-step response, but, in practice, a number of bump tests are required to compensate for unanticipated disturbances, process nonhnearities, and noisy measurements. 

Detection limits in ICPMS depend on several factors. Dilution of the sample has a lai e effect. The amount of sample that may be in solution is governed by suppression effects and tolerable levels of dissolved solids. The response curve of the mass spectrometer has a large effect. A typical response curve for an ICPMS instrument shows much greater sensitivity for elements in the middle of the mass range (around 120 amu). Isotopic distribution is an important factor. Elements with more abundant isotopes at useful masses for analysis show lower detection limits. Other factors that affect detection limits include interference (i.e., ambiguity in identification that arises because an elemental isotope has the same mass as a compound molecules that may be present in the system) and ionization potentials. Elements that are not efficiently ionized, such as arsenic, suffer from poorer detection limits.

The aim for tree breeders and forest managers is to define and grow a plantation which will be elastic in its response to the large stresses induced by high wind speeds. Petty Swain (1985) have established models of the stress-strain responses of forest trees which may be used to define the sizes and morphologies of trees, for a defined range of wind speeds and elastic responses. A typical response of a plantation grown spruce tree to wind speed is shown on Fig. 2. This is a classic stress/strain curve, with an... 

The time resolution of the instrument determines the wavenumber-dependent sensitivity of the Fourier-transformed, frequency-domain spectrum. A typical response of our spectrometer is 23 fs, and a Gaussian function having a half width... 

The results presented here demonstrate that these approaches can be applied to Potamogeton sp. and Hydrilla verticillata. In both assay systems, typical responses to known plant growth regulators were observed in most cases. The unique response of P.nodosus to ABA however, clearly shows the importance of not relying solely on "classical" bioassays. 

Suitable PLOT columns for the determination of vinyl chloride monomer in PVC include 15.00 m, 0.53 mm bonded polystyrene-divinyl benzene and 30 m, 0.53 mm porous divinyl benzene homopolymer types. Typical responses for vinyl chloride monomer standards (0.06, 0.19 and 0.31 mg/1) in N,N-d imethylaceta-mide expressed as mg/kg vinyl chloride (PVC sample) using the 30 m homopolymer column and flame ionisation detection are shown in Figure 38. An automatic static headspace sampler was employed. 

Membrane depolarization typically results from an increase in Na+ conductance. In addition, mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ from the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum and the influx of extracellular Ca2+ appear to be elicited by ACh acting on muscarinic receptors (see Ch. 22). The resulting increase in intracellular free Ca2+ is involved in activation of contractile, metabolic and secretory events. Stimulation of muscarinic receptors has been linked to changes in cyclic nucleotide concentrations. Reductions in cAMP concentrations and increases in cGMP concentrations are typical responses (see Ch. 21). These cyclic nucleotides may facilitate contraction or relaxation, depending on the particular tissue. Inhibitory responses also are associated with membrane hyperpolarization, and this is a consequence of an increased K+ conductance. Increases in K+ conductance may be mediated by a direct receptor linkage to a K+ channel or by increases in intracellular Ca2+, which in turn activate K+ channels. Mechanisms by which muscarinic receptors couple to multiple cellular responses are considered later. 

B) to 90% B in 3.80 min was used, then returned to 20% B at 3.81 min with equilibration until 4.2 min. In the Acquity experiment, the gradient was from 0.25 min (20% B) to 90% B in 1.65 min, maintained at 90% B through 1.90 min, then returned to 20% at 1.91 min with equilibration until 2.10 min. When an injection volume of 30 fiL (from a reconstituted solution volume of 150, uL) was used, the Shimadzu experiment yielded a typical response for 0.955 pg of deslorata-dine and 1.05 pg of its 3-hydroxy analog. In the Acquity experiment, 15 fxL of injection volume was necessary to achieve significantly better signal-to-noise ratio compared to the Shimadzu experiment representing an LLOQ of 0.478 pg for desloratadine and 0.525 pg for the 3-hydroxy metabolite. 

Under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), the U.S. EPA evaluates the potential for people to be exposed to more than one pesticide at a time from a group of chemicals with an identified common mechanism of toxicity. As part of the examinations, to clarify whether some or all of the pyrethroids share a common mechanism of toxicity, a comparative FOB (functional observational battery) studies with 12 pyrethroids were carried out under standardized conditions [15]. The FOB was evaluated at peak effect time following oral administration of non-lethal doses of pyrethroids to rats using com oil as vehicle. Four principal components were observed in the FOB data [22], Two of these components described behaviors associated with CS syndrome (lower body temperature, excessive salivation, impaired mobility) and the others described behaviors associated with the T syndrome (elevated body temperature, tremor myoclonus). From the analysis, pyrethroids can be divided into two main groups (Type I T syndrome and Type II CS syndrome) and a third group (Mixed Type) that did not induce a clear typical response. Five other pyrethroids were also classified by an FOB study conducted in the same manner [16]. The results of these classifications are shown in Table 1. The FOB results for all non-cyano pyrethroids were classified as T syndrome, and the results of four ot-cyano pyrethroids were classified as CS syndrome however, three of the ot-cyano pyrethroids, esfenvalerate, cyphenothrin, and fenpropathrin, were classified as Mixed Type. 

Results of in vitro studies suggest an interaction between calcium ions and cyanide in cardiovascular effects (Allen and Smith 1985 Robinson et al. 1985a). It has been demonstrated that exposure to cyanide in metabolically depleted ferret papillary muscle eventually results in elevated intracellular calcium levels, but only after a substantial contracture develops (Allen and Smith 1985). The authors proposed that intracellular calcium may precipitate cell damage and arrhythmias. The mechanism by which calcium levels are raised was not determined. Franchini and Krieger (1993) produced selective denervation of the aortic and carotid bifurcation areas, and confirmed the carotid body chemoreceptor origin of cardiovascular, respiratory and certain behavioral responses to cyanide in rats. Bradycardia and hyperventilation induced by cyanide are typical responses evoked by carotid body chemoreceptor stimulation (Franchini and Krieger 1993). 

As an example, let us consider a typical response produced by stretching a sample of a vulcanised rubber. The components of the stress that we have to consider are the normal stresses axx, [Pg.15]

Response time. In the literature, response time is usually specified as the time taken for the electrode to reach > 90% of the output. Typical response times are around 30 sec. A fast response time is critical when one is measuring transient phenomena such as oxygen respiration rates in tissue or suspended cells and dynamic measurements of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient in bioreactors.

Figure 5.18(a) shows a typical response cycle for an NBS sample of lead. The signal produced is obtained from 5 ql of solution injected onto the rod. The transient signal and the short time-scale from peak introduction to decay to zero level is clearly shown. The repeatabihty of the injection process, and the subsequent vaporization and measurement by ICP-MS, are shown in Fig. 5.18(b). This indicates repeat integrations, again using the NB 981 sample on the 208 Pb line.
