Variability, reducing

Xm are not. For unimolecular diffusion through stagnant gas = 1), and reduce to T and X and and reduce to and equation 64 then becomes equation 34. For equimolar counterdiffusion = 0, and the variables reduce tojy, x, G, and F, respectively, and equation 64 becomes equation 35. Using the film factor concept and rate equation 28, the tower height may be computed by...

Asthma is characterized by variable symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath and coughing and is usually associated with airway inflammation, with variably reduced spirometric indices [4, 5], with increased non-specific airway responsiveness (AR) to spasmogens [6, 7] and increased levels of semm immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophils [8-10]. The symptoms of asthma are primarily due to excessive airway narrowing, which leads to an increased resistance to airflow, especially during forced expiration, and produces characteristic spirometric findings. A cardinal feature of asthma is that airway narrowing is reversible either spontaneously or as the result of therapy.

Those who applied quantum mechanics to atoms and molecules had a wealth of chemists data at hand well-defined bond properties including dipole moments, index of refractions, and ultraviolet absorption qualities and polarizability as well as well-defined valence properties of atoms in molecules. If one attempted to set up a wave equation for the water molecule, for example, there were 39 independent variables, reducible to 20 by symmetry considerations. But the experimental facts of chemistry implied or required certain properties that made it possible to solve equations by semiempirical methods. "Chemistry could be said to be solving the mathematicians problems and not the other way around," according to Coulson. 148... 

Fortunately, in almost all problems of interest, certain variables are always set. To enumerate, in vapor-liquid processes, usually all feeds to a column and their enthalpies are set. Also, the column pressure is set. Setting these variables reduces the number left to be set to a relatively small number, small enough to be manageable. 

Each of these is evaluated by dividing the estimate of the corresponding b value by its standard error and comparing to the t 4 distribution (the degrees of freedom for the appropriate t shape is number of subjects minus [1 - -the number of x variables in the model]). Note that multiple regression with just a single variable reduces to simple linear regression. 

One may assume that the response variability is the manifestation of a spontaneous endogenous fluctuation in excitability of the various synaptic sites interposed in the afferent sensory pathways. One may go further by postulating that this variability is of importance for the well-being of the organism and that the psychotomimetic action of substances like LSD-25 is> in part at least, due to their ability to decrease this variability. In this connection, it is noteworthy to mention that Bergen and collaborators (1962), in rabbit preparations similar to those described above, demonstrated a variability-reducing effect, similar to that of LSD-25, as a... 

One should note that the entire dependence of , and X on N and M is absorbed here into the reduced quantities. Eqs. (34) and (35) are exact as long as Fe and Fx are functions of an infinite number of variables (reduced topological invariants). By limiting the number of variables, we introduce the element of approximation into Eqs. (34) and (35). Which and how many variables should be retained is a matter of choice. Of course, the simplest approximation is... 

Here we focus on the longitudinal situation and assume that the imposed fields are collinearly directed along the anisotropy axis n. Then the set of the angular variables reduces to the polar angle fi of e with respect to it. Setting cos ) (e n) = x, at Hp = const for the equilibrium distribution function of the particle magnetic moment, one gets...

A special technique has been developed by Kuznetsova and Kruglyakov [28] for the study of liquid flow through a foam with either constant or variable border cross-sections. It allows to measure small liquid volumes and the number of independent foam borders. The foam studied is closed between two porous plates the external sides of which are in contact with the foaming solution. The measurements are carried out at identical (gravitational flow) as well as variable reduced pressure (flow at applied pressure drop).

Polyketide and fatty acid biosyntheses begin with condensation of the coenzyme A thioester of a short-chain carboxylic acid starter unit such as acetate or propionate with the coenzyme A thioester of a dicarboxylic acid extender unit such as malonate or methyl malonate. The driving force for the condensation is provided by the decarboxylation of the extender unit. In the case of fetty acid synthesis, the resulting -carbonyl is completely reduced to a methylene however, during the synthesis of complex poly-ketides, the -carbonyl may be left untouched or variably reduced to alcohol, olefinic, or methylene functionalities depending on the position that the extender unit will occupy in the final product. This cycle is repeated, and the number of elongation cycles is a characteristic of the enzyme catalyst. In polyketide biosynthesis, the full-length polyketide chain cyclizes in a specific manner, and is tailored by the action of additional enzymes in the pathway. 

Reduced gradient methods are particularly effective for sparse problems with a large number of variables. A problem is said to be sparse if each constraint involves only a few of the variables. This is a common situation in design problems, where many of the constraints are written in terms of only one or two variables. Reduced gradient methods also work better when many of the constraints are linear, as less computational time is spent linearizing constraints and returning the solution to the feasible region. Because of the decomposition of the problem, fewer calculations are... 

If the Hamiltonian with variable reduced mass is used, the dependence of the reduced mass on coordinate will be a function of to. On the other hand, if the constant effective mass model is used, the reduced mass can be evaluated from Eqs. (3.1) to (3.10) for an infinitesimal displacement from the planar conformation. The constant effective reduced mass derived in this fashion is independent of to, and thus, no knowledge of to is needed to use the Hamiltonian Eq. (3.22) conversely, no information about the value of to can be determined from the vibrational data and Eq. (3.22). 

Besides, the term pk)v = ctk Pk)vk is treated as one held variable for compressible flows, whereas for incompressible flows the mass-weighted average variable reduces to a phase-weighted average.

In general, inhibitors of Na+-CH symport do not affect RBF and only variably reduce GFR owing to increases in intratubular pressure. Since thiazides act at a point past the macula densa, they have little or no influence on TGF.

It is well known [54] how eDF can be variable reduced. Integrating the raw eDF definition over Ae entire system particle co-ordinates, except r of them, produces a r-th order eDF. The procedure may be schematised within the third step of Algorithm 1 or using the way depicted in the generating rule of equation (B-1) of Appendix B. This kind of co-ordinate reduction has been studied in many ways [55-57] and will not be repeated here.

However, some equations are not amenable to standard methods and require considerable ingenuity to effect a solution. Often, an elementary change of variables reduces a nonlinear equation to a linear form. We illustrate some of these uncommon types with examples in the next sections.
