Screen Ejficiency There is confusion concerning the meaning of screen efficiency, as a uniform method for figuring efficiency has never been established. A sound method of evahiating screen performance is given by W. S. Tyler, Inc., Mentor, Ohio, in its Sieve Handbook, no. 53. In this formula, when material put through the screen is the desired product, efficiency is the ratio of the amount of undersize obtained to the amount of undersize in the feed. 

The ERDS attempts to establish a uniform method of encoding the types of data submitted from the various entities. Inconsistencies of detail are monitored automatically by the data bank computer services. 

Military Handbook 217E (MIL 217E) establishes uniform methods for predicting the reliability of military electronic equipment and systems. There are two methods of reliability predictions, namely parts count and parts stress analysis. 

The API Standard 4F, First Edition, May 1, 1985, API Specifications for Drilling and Well Servicing Structures, was written to provide suitable steel structures for drilling and well servicing operations and to provide a uniform method of rating the structures for the petroleum industry. API Standard 4F supersedes API Standards 4A, 4D, and 4E thus, many structures in service today may not satisfy all of the requirements of API Standard 4F [2-5]. 

It is convenient to have some uniform method of representing the composition of a solution, and for this purpose use is made of the so-called concentration of a component, which may be referred to the total mass, or to the total volume, or to the molecular constitution. 

Adoption of improved uniform methods of quantitation so that residue levels can be compared, and so that a time estimate of their environmental significance can be made (NRCC 1975 USEPA 1988)... 

The psoriasis area and severity index is a uniform method to determine the extent of body surface area affected, along with the degree of erythema, induration, and scaling. Severity scores are rated as <12 (mild), 12 to 18 (moderate), and >18 (severe).

It has been shown that the selected water model in conjunction with the equation of state provides a uniform method to calculate VLE and LLE of aqueous systems over a wide temperature and pressure range. The remaining discrepancies could possibly be eliminated with modified rules for the interaction parameters. 

Methods for the quantitation of major components of bulk drug substances or APIs, including preservatives, in finished drug products are classified in Category I. Assay and content uniformity methods fall into this category. These methods demonstrate that the label claim of the drug... 

Interpretation of the biological significance of residue levels fonnd in wildhfe Adoption of improved uniform methods of quantitation so that residne levels can be compared, and so that a time estimate of their environmental significance can be made (NRCC 1975 USEPA 1988) Reexamination of aquatic toxicity data wherein concentrations tested exceeded the solubihty of chlordane in water of 6 to 9 pg/L (WHO 1984)... 

The validation of an automated content uniformity method and an automated dissolution method based on a validated manual method can adopt a similar approach where the equivalency data can support the requirements of the other studies involved. When validating an automated method that is not based on a validated manual method, only the repeatability and reproducibility can be combined to reduce the amount of analysis to be done since the equivalency study will not be executed.

Yet it took chemists hundreds of years before they settled on this uniform method of writing out their ehemical formulas. 

The refractive index of a pure sucrose solution is an accurate measure of the concentration of dissolved substance. Stolle (39) found little variation in the refractive index of solutions of different sugars (sucrose, dextrose, levulose and lactose) at the same concentration. Investigations by Main (40), Schonrock (41) and Landt (42) resulted in the adoption of a standard table of refractive indices of sugar solutions by the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis in 1936. 

Cooperative survey, U. S. National Committee of the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis and American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages, conducted by T. R. Gillett. In contrast, methods for measuring color correlated rather well. 

A Safe Operating Procedure developed to create a uniform method to ensure that appropriate steps are taken prior to bypassing or removing an alarm, instrument, or shutdown system from service is offered. This procedure can provide an effective way of communicating the status of an impaired instrument. The procedure has been in use for over five years. It assumes that all instrumentation has been classified into three priorities. 

At the end of the nineteenth century, the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA) was formed. This organization, which continues today, is dedicated to all aspects of sugar analysis, validation of methods, and promulgating official methods that are scientifically valid. A good early history of ICUMSA, covering the first session in 1897 up to 1936, can be found in Bates.74...
