The realized experiments have shown the large possibilities of analysis by the eddy currents method. They allow, besides the verification of the coating and the determination of its thickness, to give an overview on the percentage of the main chemical components of the controlled samples coating by a deepened processing.

A rather different method from the preceding is that based on the rate of dissolving of a soluble material. At any given temperature, one expects the initial dissolving rate to be proportional to the surface area, and an experimental verification of this expectation has been made in the case of rock salt (see Refs. 26,27). Here, both forward and reverse rates are important, and the rate expressions are... 

Membrane Cliaraeterization MF membranes are rated bvtliix and pore size. Microfiltration membranes are imiqiielv testable bv direct examination, but since the number of pores that rnav be obsen ed directlv bv microscope is so small, microscopic pore size determination is rnainlv useful for membrane research and verification of other pore-size-determining methods. Furthermore, the most critical dimension rnav not be obseiA able from the surface. Few MF membranes have neat, cvlindrical pores. Indirect means of measurement are generallv superior. Accurate characterization of MF membranes is a continuing research topic for which interested parties should consult the current literature. 

Quality control elements required by the instrumental analyzer method include analyzer calibration error ( 2 percent of instrument span allowed) verifying the absence of bias introduced by the sampling system (less than 5 percent of span for zero and upscale cah-bration gases) and verification of zero and calibration drift over the test period (less than 3 percent of span of the period of each rim). 

Elemental organic microanalysis is one of the main methods for purity verification of organic and organoelement compounds and polymers. 

It may be appropriate, based upon the hazards of the materials processed, for the client company to make a final site visit during the toll shutdown activities to review the toller s methods and completeness of process termination. This review could include termination status such as removal of all hazardous wastes and verification of associated documentation, and the adequate cleanup of equipment and the process area. 

Verification of some characteristics may only be possible by calculation rather than by test, inspection, or demonstration. In such cases the design calculations should be checked either by being repeated by someone else or by performing the calculations by an alternative method. When this form of verification is used the margins of error permitted should be specified in the verification plan. 

The quality of the product can be verified by you witnessing the final acceptance tests and inspections on the subcontractor s premises. (If you don t possess the necessary equipment or skill to carry out product verification, this method is an economic compromise and should yield as much confidence in the product as the previous methods. You do, however, need to recognize that your presence on the subcontractor s premises may affect the results. They may omit tests which are problematical or your presence may cause them to be particularly diligent, a stance which may not be maintained when you are not present.)... 

However, even this second method, including the one modified later by Acheson and co-workers [84JCR(M) 1301], was ineffective in realizing our imaginary compounds (la-c, 2, 3, etc.). Their birth and the start of studies on the verification of the 1-Hydroxyindole Hypotheses had to wait until 1989 when Somei s method, the third method, was discovered. 

Load Testing Apparatus. The load apparatus used to simulate the working load on the test unit shall be calibrated in accordance with ASTM E-4 Standard Methods of Verification of Testing Machines, so as to assure that the prescribed test load is obtained. 

The plotting of Dixon plot and its slope re-plot (see 5.9.5.9) is a commonly used graphical method for verification of kinetics mechanisms in a particular enzymatic reaction.9 The proposed kinetic mechanism for the system is valid if the experimental data fit the rate equation given by (5.9.4.4). In this attempt, different sets of experimental data for kinetic resolution of racemic ibuprofen ester by immobilised lipase in EMR were fitted into the rate equation of (5.7.5.6). The Dixon plot is presented in Figure 5.22. 

Verification of the molecular weight of thiirene dioxides by mass spectrometry, employing the conventional electron-impact (El) ionization method, has been unsuccessful due to the absence or insignificant intensity of molecular ion peaks in their mass spectra. The base peak is rather characteristic, however, and corresponds to the formation of the disubstituted acetylene ion by loss of sulfur dioxide91 (equation 3). 

Agarwal et al. 1978), the quantification of these specific enzymes may indicate that exposure to endosulfan has occurred. Blood tests, such as decay curves for aminopyrine in plasma, which are semiquantitative indices of liver enzyme induction, have been used successfully in the past to demonstrate enzyme induction in pesticide-exposed workers. Because numerous chemicals found at hazardous waste sites also induce these hepatic enzymes, these measurements are not specific for endosulfan exposure. However, measurements of enzyme activity, together with the detection of the parent compound or its metabolites in tissue or excreta, can be useful indicators of exposure. All of these potential biomarkers require further verification in epidemiological studies. Further studies with focus on the development of methods to separate and measure the estrogenicity of endosulfan in in vitro assays would be valuable since these assays are more sensitive and discriminative than other conventional biomarkers. Preliminary results have been presented by Sonnenschein et al. (1995).
