Visual scaling

The effects of visual scaling and numerical coding are very similar. However, the distortions caused by numerical coding are not always as readily apparent as some distortions caused by visual scaling. For example, rotatable designs in coded factor spaces might not produce rotatable designs in uncoded factor spaces (see Section 12.9). We simply warn the reader that concepts such as rotatable , circular .

In addition, long and short term waviness values were mathematically correlated to other industry known, visual measurement scales (tension value, orange peel standard ranking) and are calculated by the instrument. The correlation to visual scales was implemented to facilitate the evaluation, but at the same time, more detailed information for interpreting the cause of the surface appearance (long wave, shortwave signal) are displayed.

For wear resistance of decorated plastics, results are normally interpreted by a subjective assessment of the appearance or condition of the specimen after a fixed number of abrasion test cycles. For repeatable results, a standardized grading system (e.g. a 1 - 5 visual scale) should be used to measure the change in appearance and rank performance.

For Jet Al, the pressure drop should be less than 33 mbar, and the visual observation of the tube should correspond to a minimum of three on the scale of reference. 

One nice thing about H in mass-scaled coordinates is that it is identical to the Hamiltonian of a mass point movmg in two dimensions. This is convenient for visualizing trajectory motions or wavepackets, so the mass-scaled coordinates are commonly used for plotting data from scattering calculations.

Fig. 10. Conformational flooding accelerates conformational transitions and makes them accessible for MD simulations. Top left snapshots of the protein backbone of BPTI during a 500 ps-MD simulation. Bottom left a projection of the conformational coordinates contributing most to the atomic motions shows that, on that MD time scale, the system remains in its initial configuration (CS 1). Top right Conformational flooding forces the system into new conformations after crossing high energy barriers (CS 2, CS 3,. . . ). Bottom right The projection visualizes the new conformations they remain stable, even when the applied flooding potentials (dashed contour lines) is switched off.

The space filling model developed by Corey, Pauling, and Koltun is also known as the CPK model, or scale model [197], It shows the relative volume (size) of different elements or of different parts of a molecule (Figure 2-123d). The model is based on spheres that represent the "electron cloud . These atomic spheres can be determined from the van der Waals radii (see Section 2.10.1), which indicate the most stable distance between two atoms (non-bonded nuclei). Since the spheres are all drawn to the same scale, the relative size of the overlapping electron clouds of the atoms becomes evident. The connectivities between atoms, the bonds, are not visualized because they are located beneath the atom spheres and are not visible in a non-transparent display (see Section 2.10). In contrast to other models, the CPK model makes it possible to visualize a first impression of the extent of a molecule. 

Scale of Operation Coulometric methods of analysis can be used to analyze small absolute amounts of analyte. In controlled-current coulometry, for example, the moles of analyte consumed during an exhaustive electrolysis is given by equation 11.32. An electrolysis carried out with a constant current of 100 pA for 100 s, therefore, consumes only 1 X 10 mol of analyte if = 1. For an analyte with a molecular weight of 100 g/mol, 1 X 10 mol corresponds to only 10 pg. The concentration of analyte in the electrochemical cell, however, must be sufficient to allow an accurate determination of the end point. When using visual end points, coulometric titrations require solution concentrations greater than 10 M and, as with conventional titrations, are limited to major and minor analytes. A coulometric titration to a preset potentiometric end point is feasible even with solution concentrations of 10 M, making possible the analysis of trace analytes. 

Variable-Area Flow Meters. In variable-head flow meters, the pressure differential varies with flow rate across a constant restriction. In variable-area meters, the differential is maintained constant and the restriction area allowed to change in proportion to the flow rate. A variable-area meter is thus essentially a form of variable orifice. In its most common form, a variable-area meter consists of a tapered tube mounted vertically and containing a float that is free to move in the tube. When flow is introduced into the small diameter bottom end, the float rises to a point of dynamic equiHbrium at which the pressure differential across the float balances the weight of the float less its buoyancy. The shape and weight of the float, the relative diameters of tube and float, and the variation of the tube diameter with elevation all determine the performance characteristics of the meter for a specific set of fluid conditions. A ball float in a conical constant-taper glass tube is the most common design it is widely used in the measurement of low flow rates at essentially constant viscosity. The flow rate is normally deterrnined visually by float position relative to an etched scale on the side of the tube. Such a meter is simple and inexpensive but, with care in manufacture and caHbration, can provide rea dings accurate to within several percent of full-scale flow for either Hquid or gas. 

Measurement of Whiteness. The Ciba-Geigy Plastic White Scale is effective in the visual assessment of white effects (79), but the availabihty of this scale is limited. Most evaluations are carried out (ca 1993) by instmmental measurements, utilising the GIF chromaticity coordinates or the Hunter Uniform Color System (see Color). Spectrophotometers and colorimeters designed to measure fluorescent samples must have reversed optics, ie, the sample is illuminated by a polychromatic source and the reflected light passes through the analy2er to the detector. 

Mercury thermometers are subject to separation of the mercury column or to inclusion of bubbles of the fiU gas. These may result from shipping and handling and cause a scale offset which can usually be seen upon visual examination, and they are always recogni2ed by a 0°C verification check. Manufacturers will suggest means by which these temporary defects may be cured.
