USES software

One way to model a solid is to use software designed for gas-phase molecular computations. A large enough piece of the solid can be modeled so that the region in the center for practical purposes describes the region at the center of an inhnite crystal. This is called a cluster calculation. 

Use software wherever possible to reduce complexity and tediousness. 

Because we were already an AutoCAD shop, we built the GIS around AutoCAD instead of using software that was more specialized for GIS purposes, but more expensive. AutoCAD is getting more powerful for GIS usage as new versions are released. 

However, these requirements go further than merely controlling the devices used for measurement. They address the measurements themselves, the selection of the devices for measurement and also apply to devices which create product features, if they are used for product verification purposes. If you rely on jigs, tools, fixtures, templates, patterns, etc. to form shapes or other characteristics and have no other means of verifying the shape achieved, these devices become a means of verification. If you use software to control equipment, simulate the environment or operational conditions, or carry out tests and you rely on that software doing what it is supposed to do, without any separate means of checking the result, the quality of such software becomes critical to product verification. In fact the requirements apply to metrology as a whole rather than being limited to the equipment that is used to obtain the measurement and therefore a more appropriate title of the section would be Control of measurements .

Some questions could arise concerning process control and especially concerning the problem of deviation detection. Solutions can be found by using software able to monitor and supervise the process in order to guarantee production quahty and safety of the plant and operators [38]. 

Pure paper-based data collection systems are most suitable for small and short-term studies. Their advantages are that no computer hardware or software is needed at the participating sites because data are recorded manually on paper forms that are transferred to the centralized location in batches. A major drawback is that participating sites do not have real-time access to their data because no database is created locally. However, both hardware and software are needed at the centralized location for the data management system. The type of hardware and software used is determined by the configuration of the centralized computer. The most commonly used platforms include Open VMS, Unix, or PC, and one of the most widely used software packages is SAS [16].

An example of a simulated overnight experiment on Mars is shown in Fig. 3.22 for eight temperature intervals using the Compositional Calibration Target (CCT made out of magnetite rock slab) on the rover as the target. In the case of contact-ring temperature sensor failure, the internal temperature sensor would be used (software selectable). 

There are several ways to deal with this problem. The simplest in concept is to use liquid imbibed particles that are uniform in structure, such as sugar cubes [12, 13] as already mentioned above. To my knowledge, this has never been done for structure studies. The second is to use NMR-invisible particles, for example, glass, and fill the spaces between the particles with a liquid such as water that can be imaged. The third is to use the usual radially heterogeneous particles and then use software to calculate the parameters. One first determines the centers of each particle and then decides whether the particles are in contact with each other or not by the distances between the centers [14].

If/(x) has a simple closed-form expression, analytical methods yield an exact solution, a closed form expression for the optimal x, x. Iff(x) is more complex, for example, if it requires several steps to compute, then a numerical approach must be used. Software for nonlinear optimization is now so widely available that the numerical approach is almost always used. For example, the Solver in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet solves linear and nonlinear optimization problems, and many FORTRAN and C optimizers are available as well. General optimization software is discussed in Section 8.9.
