Units of Molar Absorption Coefficient

Hello all,

I'm a university student doing an engineering project that has stumbled into the weeds a bit using concepts from chemistry. I'm simply trying to calculate the Absorbance of a material using values found from references through Beer's law:

A=\epsilon * c * d

I understand c has units of mol/L, and d has units of length. For A to be unitless, the molar absorption coefficient should have units L/(mol * cm), however, many references I've been looking at report their molar absorption coefficient in units of 1/(mol * cm) with no Liters unit. Is the unit of Liters commonly suppressed in practice, or do researchers report this quantity in different units? Online educational information seems to gloss over this detail with no real explanation for why the units don't work out. How should I be interpreting these things in order to make a calculation that makes sense?

Thank you all for the help

What is the coefficient of absorption for visible light between Earth and the galactic core?

Specifically how much visible light does the dust and gas between us and Sagittarius A* absorb? Obviously radio waves reach us, but presumably as the wavelength shortens it becomes more opaque. However, some photons of visible light must reach us even if lost in noise

Calculated absorptivity coefficient

I have the absorbance value measured at 0.674, there is a 1cm path length and the concentration is 3 mg/L of iron (III) solution. As it's such a low value it's recommended to convert the concentration to ppm, but I'm wondering how this would effect the final value and unit of the calculated absorptivity?

As of the Hot-fix nerf, Sona now has the 2nd lowest AD (under Orianna),the 4th lowest AD growth Coefficient And the 3 lowest AD at lvl 18.

Link to Statistics.

Base AD Ranked: 8th lowest > 2nd Lowest

AD growth Ranked: 29th (using lowest of Rank of Champions with 3AD) > 5th lowest.

AD Value at lvl18 Ranked: 21st > 3rd.

The last time Sona was 'actually' Buffed was in Patch 8.9, Base attack & power chord damage were increased . Before that, she had mini reworked buffed in 6.14 which was the last time there was a pleasant healthy change. Buffs otherwise from then to now have been buffs into gutted nerfs.

Personally I dont like the intent of the new "buff to Sona support" as it's pretty much a bandage to cover the inconsistency issues of top lane.

[Question] Negative binomial regression coefficients differ by level of data stratification whilst coefficients from Poisson models do not. What should I do?

For various reasons I need to stratify my models. My fit statistics show that negative binomial is the more appropriate model due to overdispersion. When running the negative binomial the estimate for the non-stratified data is 1.8 but the estimates for the models stratified by gender are males: 1.7 and females: 1.6. This is because (as I understand) each negative binomial regression model has a different dispersion parameter. What would you suggest in this scenario? Relative comparability between multiple different models from the same dataset, with different levels of stratification, is essential.

L2 Quant: "The magnitude of regression coefficients tells us nothing about importance of X explaining Y"

Hoping to get some clarification here:

  1. So the slope coefficient tells us how much Y changes for a 1 unit change of X, but it doesn't tell us the importance of X in explaing Y. Why is that?

  2. The solution is to use a t-test to see if the slope coefficient=0, but we are given a slope coefficent from the regression. What is the purpose of the test then? Is it because we've estimated the slope so we are testing to see how certain we are that the true slope isnt zero?

  3. What does a slope of 0 imply? Intuitivley an increase in X has no effect on Y, so X has zero predictive power in Y...

Short idea for Blast's powers. What if he has some type of kinetic energy/momentum absorption+redirection ability? So he's only as strong as the current thing he's facing?

Just a fun idea, not really a full fledged theory.

It'd explain why he was only able to deter monsters like Elder Centipede instead of wiping them out, and why Blast is only going to come out for end of the world threats no one else can beat. If the threat is any weaker, then the other heroes would be able to cover it just as well as Blast.

It also would set him up as a foil to Saitama. Saitama is the strongest, Blast is only as strong as who he's currently facing. Saitama's main problem is he can never find a challenge, whereas every fight Blast has ever been in would be a challenge. It'd be interesting and would cause the characters to be envious of each other.

Note that these values came from a mixture of good and bad CFD and validation. Some teams provided suspiciously rough numbers like 350 [lbf] @ 60 [mph], others gave rough numbers off the top of their head, others didn't have an aero guy to represent their aero.

It averages to a value of 3.03, with the lowest being 1.9, and the highest being somewhere in the 5.4-5.9 range.

Ways to maximize absorption & efficacy of Vitamin C serum?

Here's the situation: about a month ago I started using Skinceuticals CE Ferulic serum. I was able to purchase it at a steep discount through a friend, but she just left the company (v inconsiderate, yes?). Because I do not have a 20k boyfie, I will not be repurchasing at full price.

Thus, I want to maximize results of the two-ish months left of product I have. Skinceuticals says to apply the serum directly to clean, dry skin, but is that really the optimal method? Would using an essence beforehand increase absorption? I assume any moisturizing or occlusive essences would be a bad idea. The serum has a crazy low pH, so would an acidic toner help?

Today in class we studied correlations and looked at r. Teacher said that there is no correlation if r = 0, but even if r = 0.0000000000001, we'd say there is a correlation, albeit an extremely weak one.

This made me wonder if r = 0 actually exists in real life, even if things that absolutely seem like they have no correlation like (apologies for the stupid example) the amount of farts and lung cancer.

Because I'd imagine if the two variables were drawn on a graph, it would have to be symmetric around the x axis like a perfectly reflected parabola or circle, which seems impossible.

Question on FIR coefficient selection: Unequal numbers of precursors and postcursors

I've a question on the fitting of FIR filter coefficients, specifically methods of doing so when the filter has an unequal number of precursor and postcursor taps. I've posted on the DSP Stack Exchange, but no luck so far so I thought I'd chance my arm here. Any help is very much appreciated. :)

I'm trying to fit an FIR filter to the measured frequency response (magnitude, and eventually phase) of a device. The frequency response is essentially a low-pass filter. I'd like to vary the number of taps to see how many are necessary to appropriately match the response, but also give differing number of precursor and postcursor taps in the design.

I've investigated Matlab's fdesign.arbmag and fdesign.arbmagnphase functions, but these seem to only give designs with the same number of pre- and post-cursor taps.

Here's some sample Matlab code with simplified frequency (F) and amplitude (A) values for reference.

F = 0:0.1:1;
A = [1 0.85 0.9 0.7 0.5 0.3 0.35 0.1 0.2 0.1 0];
filterOrder = 7;


d = fdesign.arbmag('N,F,A',filterOrder,F,A);
Hd = design(d);
fvtool(Hd)
tapWeights = [Hd.numerator];
disp(tapWeights)

The above code runs happily, and produces a low-pass filter that matches the frequency response reasonably well, with tap weights as follows: [0.0030 0.0361 0.2161 0.4500 0.2161 0.0361 0.0030].

However, the central tap (the cursor, 0.45) is surrounded by three precursor and three postcursor taps. Is there a way to design, say, with one precursor and six postcursors?

Suggestions for Matlab methods would be brilliant, but even suggestions towards algorithms, etc., would be great too.
