Variability analysis

In earlier chapters we examined systems with one or two types of diffusing chemical species. For binary solutions, a single interdiffusivity, D, suffices to describe composition evolution. In this chapter we treat diffusion in ternary and larger multicomponent systems that have two or more independent composition variables. Analysis of such diffusion is complex because multiple cross terms and particle-particle chemical interaction terms appear. The cross terms result in TV2 independent interdiffusivities for a solution with TV independent components. The increased complexity of multicomponent diffusion produces a wide variety of diffusional phenomena. 

Clearly, the reality of such a statement depends on adequate modeling of the observed climatic variability. Analysis of the results of the relevant calculations using six dilferent models has shown that three of six models reproduce climate variability on time scales from 10 to 50 years which agrees with observational data.

In this brief chapter we hope we have been able to establish in the reader s mind that the coloring of plastics materials is not a simple process. However, we would like the reader to know that it is also not an impossible problem. If one takes a sound scientific approach to variables analysis as it relates to color, for the most part the difficulties can be eliminated. As you have seen, there are many variables that must be contended with and these variables do not always act independent of each other. This means we need to define, understand, and control as many variables as possible. We suggest you start with the simplistic first theorem, which states The most likely reason that your new computer is not working is you don t have it plugged in (actual data from computer support companies). Start with the simple and work to the complex it save lots of time and is good, sound scientific thinking. Below are some simple questions to help you remember the basic variables that most often cause color problems. It is by no means all inclusive, for there are times when the solutions are complicated, but this is usually the exception and not the rule. 

The argument can be laboriously extended to natural gas of variable analysis, but that task is of marginal importance, and is not within the scope of this appendix, and book. 

The data generated from these analyses and tests was evaluated by statistical methods and correlation coefficients have been determined between all pairs of variables. Analysis of this data has revealed significant differences in the chemical properties of the coal from different fields and enables the selection of coal with specific properties for particular applications. Table 4 illustrates some of these differences by showing the range of values determined for selected coal properties from 219 samples (11 coal fields). Typical values from the two open cut mines currently operating in the Latrobe Valley are shown for comparison. These differences in chemical properties between the different coal fields are generally more significant than lateral variations within a particular field (ie between different bores within a field) and they are primarily related to rank. 

An interesting application of the molecular dynamics technique on single chains is found in the work of Mattice et al. One paper by these authors is cited here because it is relevant to both RIS and DRIS studies and deals with the isomerization kinetics of alkane chains. The authors have computed the trajectories for linear polyethylene chains of sizes C,o to Cioo- The simulation was fully atomistic, with bond lengths, bond angles, and rotational states all being variable. Analysis of the results shows that for very short times, correlations between rotational isomeric transitions at bonds i and i 2 exist, which is something a Brownian dynamics simulation had shown earlier. 

In the critical variables analysis phase, a statistical experimental design is created (e.g., factorial, Box-Behnken) intended to assess critical formulation and process variables in relatively small-scale manufacture. In these studies, the ranges of composition variables are chosen to at least encompass those noted in the recommendations of the AAPS-FDA Workshop on Scale-up of Immediate Release Oral Solid Dosage Forms or SUP AC. This phase is usually preceded by a development phase during which variables and levels to be studied are determined and the exact method of manufacture is established. Experimental formulations are assessed at least in terms of dissolution performance, content uniformity, and weight variation. On the basis of these studies, the specific formulations to be manufactured for biostudy are selected.

Live variable analysis A variable is live at some point in the code if there exists a path from that point to a use of its value. With the results of live variable analysis, the compiler can stop preserving a variable at the point where it stops being live.
