Value factor

The critical issue is how much weight to assign to the various parameters. This is obviously debatable and, to a certain extent, a moving target. The method was developed in the 1980s, and probably less emphasis is placed on environmental issues than if it were developed today. The score awarded for particular parameters is also influenced by the so-called volume value factor (VVF) which relates to the size of the business and is given by ... 

The net present value factor of a period t considers the period-independent capital cost rate WACC5 tp, the number of period days dt and the total days per year. Sub-calculations of turnover and costs applying ex-... 

For each of the A terms in Equation (83) we may substitute the corresponding version of Equation (67). Strictly speaking, each material is characterized by its own intermolecular spacing, and this as well as its y value should be used in Equation (67). In a number of systems that have been investigated, however, the observed range of d0 values is quite narrow, suggesting that d0 can be regarded as a constant, at least as a first approximation. For a variety of polymers a value of about 0.2 nm appears to be a reasonable estimate for d0. With this (assumed constant) value factored out, Equation (83) becomes... 

Gross Calorific Value factor (GCV factor) is calculated to convert between nominations that are done in energy units, and bookings that are done in volume units. 

To obtain an answer to the question whether other factors are significant too, it is necessary to exclude effects of selected factors and then repeat the procedure. The effects of selected factors are analyzed in such a way that in each design point where Xj is in the upper level of (+) response value factor effect X3 is added with a changed sign (f X =-10), and where X2 is in the upper level of (+) response value is added with a changed sign (EXi =-16). In this way, Table 2.21 is obtained with corrected responses. 

In the following discussion, V is termed the value-factor. The relationship between AE and P when V = 1 is shown in Figure 6.3. 

Often, the units to be improved must be prioritized. For this purpose, the following case is considered. There are multiple units that require improvement. The value-factor and probability of occurrence of the accident/trouble of each unit are known. In this case, it is possible to prioritize improvements among units based on the order of the amount of degree of anxiety regarding the occurrence of the accident/trouble. The unit that has the maximum degree of anxiety has... 

The degree of expectation of the success of improvement is calculated based on Eq. (6.7) under the condition that the value-factor takes the value of 1000 million. 

An equipment/process makes a loss A. When the means is adopted to improve the equipment/process, the accomplishment does not make a loss. On the other hand, when the means fails, the failure makes a loss B (B> A). The probability of failure of the improvement is known as P. Under these conditions, the decisionmaking with regard to whether the means should be adopted is discussed. In order to make the decision, the relationship between the degree of anxiety and the probability of failure is plotted under the condition that the value-factor has a value of B that is attained when the means fails to improve. When the degree... 

When mass loading is not the dominant sensing mechanism, sensor response may not be linear with concentration in the film. This departure from linearity has been observed with polymer films [61,64,86]. An investigation into the possible effect of this nonlinearity on the evaluation of D values fiom SAW frequency transients indicated that errors in D values (factor of two error) could be obtained if the nonlinearity of the response is large [86). However, using small steps in partial pressure, this nonlinearity in the response can be minimized, allowing the effective evaluation of difiiision coefficients based on AW frequency transients.

In an economic evaluation of a project, it is often necessary to evaluate the present value of funds that will be received at some definite time in the future. The present value (PV) of a future amount can be considered as the present principal at a given rate and compounded to give the actual amount received at a future date. The relationship between the indicated future amount and the present value is determined by a discount factor. Discounting evaluates each year s flow on an equal basis. It does this by means of the discount, or present value factor, and the reciprocal of the compound interest factor (1 -(- i)" with...

The number of dislocations in a unit volume of crystal is the dislocation density. Since it is taken to be the total length of dislocations per unit volume, its units are cm"2. A less precise, but more readily measurable, quantity is the number of dislocations intersecting the unit area of the crystal, and this is also expressed in miits of cm 2. For isotropic materials the two methods of defining dislocation density are almost equivalent (to within a factor of 2). But for anisotropic materials, e.g., layer structures, the two methods may yield vastly different values (factors of up to 10 ).

Skin absorption is the second most important route for solvent entry into the body and at times is much more significant than inhalation. The reason is that absorption of organic solvent vapors by inhalation at the threshold limit value is insignificant and is less than 2% of the amount absorbed via inhalation under the same exposure conditions. In contrast, solvents may be absorbed through the skin in significant amounts even at below the threshold limit value. Factors that effect the skin absorption of solvents include the composition of...
