Preface This example application has been prepared by Airbus in conjunction with the Global Aviation Information Network (GAIN) Working Group B (Analytical Methods and Tools) (WGB) as one of a number of such examples of the use of analytical methods and tools described in the " Guide to Methods & Tools for Airline Flight Safety Analysis ". The intent of these example applications is to illustra...

The composition of 500 foods has been stored in a computer in order to analyse a child's diet. The methodology of operations research is applied to a very simple problem: a diet with only two foods. The geometrical representation of the 'feasible region' and of the 'objective function' is illustrated. One of the analytical methods employable with many variables (foods) is considered. This metho...

Grape and wine phenolics are structurally diverse, from simple molecules to oligomers and polymers usually designated as tannins. They have an important impact on the organoleptic properties of wines, that's why their analysis and quantification are of primordial importance. The extraction of phenolics from grapes and from wines is the first step involved in the analysis. Then, several analytic...

Land suitability analysis is employed to evaluate the appropriateness of land for a particular purpose whilst integrating both qualitative and quantitative inputs, which can be continuous in nature. However, in agricultural modelling there is often a disregard of this contiguous aspect. Therefore, some parametric procedures for suitability analysis compartmentalise units into defined membership...

Microbiology, like compounding, is a science that must be demonstrated to show that it is reliable, reproducible, and scientifically sound. Aseptic technique must become second nature to the microbiologist and the compounding pharmacist. With each new drug tested by a quality-control laboratory, there is a responsibility that everything possible is done to ensure that the test result reported i...

General principles about the consequences of seed dispersal by animals for the structure and dynamics of plant populations and communities remain elusive. This is in part because seed deposition patterns emerge from interactions between frugivore behaviour and the distribution of food resources, both of which can vary over space and time. Here we advocate a frugivore-centred, process-based, syn...

The aim of the research was to evaluate the incidence of breast cancer in the ecological areas of Kazakhstan and assess the potential . A retrospective study of 11 years (1999 to 2009) was conducted using descriptive and analytical methods. The incidence of breast cancer was the lowest in the Aral-Syr Darya area (18.6±0.80/100,000), and highest in the Irtysh area (48.9±1.90/100,000), with an in...

This thesis concerns the analysis of simulation data generated by the agrohydrological model TNT . Our objective is to develop analytical methods for massive simulation results. We want to place the user at the heart of the decision-making process, while letting him handle and analyze large amounts of data in a very efficient way. Our first contribution is an original approach N -Catch, relying...

Although air quality monitoring networks have been greatly improved, interpreting their expanding data in both simple and efficient ways remains challenging. Therefore, needed are new analytical methods. We developed such a method based on the comparison of pollutant concentrations between target and circum areas (circum comparison for short), and tested its applications by assessing the air po...
