Overlappende stationsoplande: Bestemmelse af passagerpotentialer
Creators: name: Warburg, Valdemar

Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: Ved planlægning af kollektive trafikanlæg indgår bestemmelse af passagergrundlaget som en vigtig del. Passagergrundlaget defineres ved hjælp af passagerpotentialet som antallet af po-tentielle passagerer i stationernes oplande. Når flere stationers oplande overlapper komplice-res situationen, idet der nu opstår konkurrence mellem linierne. Formålet med denne artikel er, at opstille nogle generelle formler til beregning af potentialet af overlappende oplande. Disse formler bygger på en række antagelser om, hvad der sker i forbindelse med overlap. En vigtig antagelse er at potentialekoefficienten skal være mindst lige så stor som den koeffi-cient der ville fremkomme hvis der var én mindre station (dvs. 0 % forøgelse) og højst så stor som denne koefficient lagt sammen med den sidste zonekoefficient (dvs. 100 % forøgelse). Ved bestemmelse af de forskellige liniers andele af potentialekoefficienten er der udviklet en funktion af liniernes attraktivitetsgrader og de overlappende zonekoefficienter. Forøgelses-procenten præsenteres som en eksponentielt aftagende funktion, med den begrundelse at den skal gå mod 0 når antallet af overlap stiger, men må ikke blive negativ. Potentialet, har hidtil, som defineret i Jacobsen og Larsen (1999), været defineret på baggrund af antal arbejdspladser og boliger. I denne artikel foreslås det at udtrykket udvides med et kundeattraktionsled, for at tage hensyn til den betragtelige andel af rejser, som ikke er bolig-arbejdsstedsrejser. Der kan dog være en del datavanskeligheder forbundet herved. De udledte formler for potentialerne anvendes i en case med en letbanestrækning i det indre København, hvor der opstilles fem scenarier med forskellige stationsplaceringer. Forskellen mellem den traditionelle oplandsinddeling i nær- og fjernopland og en finere oplandsindde-ling med 10 oplandszoner undersøges, og der bliver desuden taget hensyn til overlap i den finere inddeling. Resultaterne viser tydelige forskelle på scenariernes rangorden samt deres indbyrdes afvigelser i potentiale.

Traffic Culture: Law, Morality and Actual Behaviour
Creators: name: Jørgensen, Anette Jerup
Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper is about culture of automobility and is based on a qualitative and quantitative enquiry carried out in Northern Jutland, Denmark 2005. The paper presents information about traffic culture in Denmark, theoretical and methodological reflections on traffic safety. The purpose of the paper is to present a sociological view of the Danish traffic culture and it is constructed around three basic issues. The first is how drivers relate to legal standards and moral norms in traffic. The second the possibilities and constraints of legal standards and moral norms to regulate the behaviour of drivers and the final issue is how this influence the risk of traffic accidents among drivers. Since most accidents occur with two or more drivers it is important to bring attention to social patterns of interaction and the ability of normative practises to regulate the behaviour of drivers. It is an almost absent perspective in current research concerning traffic safety.

description: ABSTRACTThe development of a detailed microphysical model that describes the complex multi-component interactions between organic vapors and soot particles emitted from aircraft gas turbine engines is presented. Our model formulation includes both soot surface activation by organic vapors and organic vapor condensation on the activated part of the soot surfaces. To enable this formulation, approaches to estimate chemical and physical properties of aerosols containing complex mixtures of sulfuric acid, water, and organic molecules were developed. Relevant distributions of a list of organic surrogates at the engine exit plane were used to represent complex organic emissions from aircraft engines. A parametric study was performed using this new formulation to understand the effects of ambient conditions, organic emissions levels, and mass accommodation coefficient values on the evolution of near field volatile particulate matter emissions from aircraft engines at ground level.

description: In this study, four computational quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models were built to predict the bioactivity of 3’ processing (3’P) inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase. Some 453 inhibitors whose bioactivity values were detected by the radiolabelling method were collected. The molecular structures were represented with MOE descriptors. In total, 21 descriptors were selected for modelling. All inhibitors were divided into a training set and a test set with two methods: (1) by a Kohonen’s self-organizing map (SOM); (2) by a random selection. For every training set and test set, a multilinear regression (MLR) analysis and a support vector machine (SVM) were used to establish models, respectively. For the training/test set divided by SOM, the correlation coefficients (r) were over 0.84, and for the training/test set split randomly, the r values were over 0.86. Some molecular properties such as hydrogen bond donor capacity, atomic partial charge properties, molecular refractivity, the number of aromatic bonds and molecular surface area, volume and shape properties played important roles for inhibiting 3’ processing step of HIV-1 integrase.

description: The 1:25.000 scale geological map of the central area of Catena Costiera aims to provide a picture of the tectonic setting of the metamorphic units belonging to the Alpine collisional belt of Northern Calabria, Italy. The exposed successions of the study area have been investigated by structural analyses, petrographic, petrological and geochemical studies whose results are summarised in the geological map. In this area, two HP-LT metamorphic, oceanic-derived units, referred as the Mongrassano and Cozzo Cervello units, have been distinguished on the base of their stratigraphic and tectono-metamorphic evolution. Both the oceanic-derived units show a polyphase deformation history developed under retrograde metamorphism in a subduction zone by underplating and exhumation into an accretionary wedge. These units are overthrust by continental-derived units, referred as the Sila and Castagna units, consisting of medium and high-grade metamorphic rocks. While the Castagna unit displays an Alpine HP/LT metamorphic overprint, the Sila unit escaped any subduction-related metamorphism.

description: Due to unavailability of a vaccine and a specific cure to dengue, the focus nowadays is to develop an effective vector control method against the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. This study aims to determine the larvicidal fractions from Piper nigrum ethanolic extracts (PnPcmE) and to elucidate the identity of the bioactive compounds that comprise these larvicidal fractions. Larvicidal assay was performed by subjecting 3rd to 4th A. aegypti instar larvae to PnPcmE of P. nigrum. The PnPcmE exhibited potential larvicidal activity having an LC50 of 7.1246 ± 0.1304 ppm (mean ± Std error). Normal phase vacuum liquid chromatography of the PnPcmE was employed which resulted in five fractions, two of which showed larvicidal activity. The most active of the PnPcmE fractions is PnPcmE-1A, with an LC50 and LC90 of 1.7101 ± 0.0491 ppm and 3.7078 ppm, respectively. Subsequent purification of PnPcmE-1A allowed the identification of the larvicidal compound as oleic acid.

description: From 1991 to 1993 nine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the grape berry and its must were evaluated using local and introduced table grape cultivars of the grapevine collection of the Greek Gene Bank. The data indicate a distinct variation in the grape germplasm in all characters and demonstrate the usefulness of the genetic material as a donor of important genes for grapevine improvement. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) produced 2 factors representing 68.1% of the total variation. PC1, explaining 43.6% of the total variance, is highly correlated with berry size parameters and characteristics of the berry structure. By Cluster Analysis the assessed cultivars were separated into distinct groups; while seedlessness, was associated with small berry detachment force from the pedicel, late maturity was combined with high acid and low sugar content and a large number of seeds per berry was accompanied by low sugar content.

Cytogenetical studies of three Vitis species

Year: 2015

description: The aim of this study was to determine the genomic relationship between Vitis vinifera, V. rotundifolia and V. rupestris. The hybrid between V. vinifera and V. rotundifolia (RT88-2) was almost sterile, whereas the hybrid between V. vinifera and V. rupestris (RP88-14) was fertile. A low percentage (0.52%) of the F1 hybrid (RT88-2) seed germinated, provided that V. vinifera was the seed parent. The result of this one way ability to cross could possibly be attributed to the incompatibility between the cytoplasm of V. rotundifolia and the chromosomes of V. vinifera. The F1 hybrid RT88-2 had 39 chromosomes of which 19 were derived from V. vinifera and 20 from V. rotundifolia. The homology differs between the genomes of V. vinifera and V. rotundifolia. The sterility of the F1 hybrid was chromosomal and was reflected in the abnormal meiosis and lower chiasma frequency. The F1 hybrid RP88-14 had normal meiosis and a chiasma, frequency similar to that of the parents. This could be attributed to the fact that the parents (V. vinifera and V. rupestris) have the same chromosome number and are closely related.

description: Viroid-free Vitis vinifera cultivars Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc were established in controlled field trials in California to evaluate the relationship between grapevine viroids and fanleaf virus for induction of the vein-banding disease. Vein-banding symptoms were observed only on vines which contained the three principal grapevine viroids, grapevine yellow speckle viroids (GYSVd-1, GYSVd-2), and hop stunt viroid (HSVd-g), as well as grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV). Sauvignon blanc vines which contained the single viroid, HSVd-g, and GFLV were non-symptomatic indicating an absence of a correlation between HSVd-g and the vein-banding disease. The intensity of vein-banding symptoms was directly correlated with an enhanced titer of GYSVd-1 and GYSVd-2. Vein-banding and yellow speckle symptomatic as well as non-symptomatic vines in Italy contained two viroids, GYSVd-1 and HSVd-g. However, symptomatic vines displayed a higher titer of GYSVd-1 than non-symptomatic materials and vein-banding symptomatic vines were GFLV infected. These data experimentally demonstrate that expression of the vein-banding disease is induced by an unique synergistic reaction between a viroid, GYSVd-1 and a virus, GFLV.

description: Near-roadway ambient black carbon (BC) and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were measured at two schools adjacent to a freeway and at an urban background school 2 km from the freeway to determine the change in concentrations attributable to vehicle emissions after the three-lane expansion of U.S. Highway 95 (US 95) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Between summer 2007 and summer 2008, average weekday small-vehicle volume increased by 40% ± 2% (standard error). Average weekday large-vehicle volume decreased by 17% ± 5%, due to a downturn in the economy and an associated decline in goods movement. Average vehicle speed increased from 58 to 69 mph, a 16% ± 1% increase. The authors compared BC and CO concentrations in summer 2007 with those in summer 2008 to understand what effect the expansion of the freeway may have had on ambient concentrations: BC and CO were measured 17 m north of the freeway sound wall, CO was measured 20 m south of the sound wall, and BC was measured at an urban background site 2 km south of the freeway. Between summer 2007 and summer 2008, median BC decreased at the near-road site by 40% ± 2% and also decreased at the urban background site by 24% ± 4%, suggesting that much of the change was due to decreases in emissions throughout Las Vegas, rather than only on US 95. CO concentrations decreased by 14% ± 2% and 10% ± 3% at the two near-road sites. The decrease in BC concentrations after the expansion is likely due to the decrease in medium- and heavy-duty-vehicle traffic resulting from the economic recession. The decrease in CO concentrations may be a result of improved traffic flow, despite the increase in light-duty-vehicle traffic. ImplicationsMonitoring of BC and CO at near-road locations in Las Vegas demonstrated the impacts of changes in traffic volume and vehicle speed on near-road concentrations. However, urban-scale declines in concentrations were larger than near-road changes due to the impacts of the economic recession that occurred contemporaneously with the freeway expansion.

Peroxidase isoenzymes as markers of cell de-differentiation in grapevines (Vitis vinifera)

description: The expression, and the tissue localization and the subcellular localization of peroxidase isoenzymes were studied during the development of mesocarp and hypodermal tissues of Vitis vinifera fruits cvs Airen and Monastrell until fruit softening. In addition the de-differentiation process of mesocarp tissues to form callus cultures was investigated. Both grapevine cultivars contain, as the only component of peroxidase polymorphism in the whole fruit, the peroxidase isoenzyme Bg (the sole component of the peroxidase isoenzyme group HpI BPrx in grapevines), which is both developmentally-regulated and tissue-specific. The establishment of cell cultures from the mesocarp of grapevine fruits is accompanied by the de novo expression of one acidic (APrx) and one basic (LpI BPrx) peroxidase isoenzyme group, whose particular isoenzyme composition is cultivar-specific and dependent on subcellular location (soluble or bound to cell wall). These results suggest that, during the establishment of grape vine cell cultures from mesocarp tissues of grapevine fruits, there is a differential expression of the peroxidase isoenzyme groups APrx and LpI BPrx located in both soluble and cell wall-bound fractions. This de novo gene expression probably expresses at molecular level the totipotency of grapevine somatic cells, which is linked to the de-differentiation process associated with the in vitro culture.

Leaf, shoot and fruit SAD increased towards the canopy interior for both systems and reached maximum values of 12, 0.8, and 1.2 m2 · m-3, respectively, for the S-System, and 10, 0.4, and 1.0 m2 · m-3 for the C-System. The fruit zone was always located near canopy areas of highest density. The distribution of surfaces of leaves of different ages from primary and secondary shoots was distinctly different for the two canopy types tested.

Application of a Gas Kick Simulator to Understanding the Effect of Wellbore Geometry on Kick Control Operations
Creators: name: Uslu, Mehmet
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 1997
Subjects: Gas kick simulator
Formation fluid

description: One of the most important operations during drilling is to control the ﬂow of formation ﬂuids. If a gas kick is taken during drilling, the control of the gas that entered from the formation is critical. The uncontrolled ﬂow of the gas can cause loss of life, drilling equipment, the well, and damage to the environment. In order to regain to control on the reservoir and continue the drilling, the gas kick should be circulated to the surface in a safe way Without fracturing another formation or causing an underground blowout. Considering the importance of well control operations, many gas kick simulators have been developed for better understanding the mechanics of gas kicks, forecasting the pressure at the surface and the drill pipe, and for training of drilling personnel. These gas kick simulators are capable for computing the pressure distribution in the wellbore. This characteristic of the simulators permits to estimate the pressure at the casing shoe where there is a possibility of fracturing the formation and cause an underground blowout. The simulator that was used in this study simulates the complete process from the drilling into a permeable zone, through the detection of the gas kick, through the kick killing operation until normal conditions are re-established. The simulator can be used for both oil based and water based mud. The objective of this report is to undertake a study to understand the effects of wellbore geometry and drilling conditions on the kick control operation and the casing shoe pressure for wells drilled with oil based and water based mud. Three similar wells with different sizes of wellbores were used in this study. The effect of the wellbore geometry on the surface casing pressure and the casing shoe pressure was studied for these wells and oil and water based mud has been compared in each well. The effect of the depth of the gas zone on the casing shoe pressure was studied by changing the depth of the gas reservoir.
Growthism: A Complete Framework for Integrating Static and Dynamic Data Into Reservoir Models

description: Accurate characterization of subsurface oil reservoirs is an essential prerequisite to the design and implementation of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios. Specifically, in reservoir characterization, integrating static and dynamic data into reservoir models to construct accurate and realistic models has received considerable attention. Unlike most of the conventional geostatistical approaches of integrating data into reservoir models that are based on semi-variograms (two-point statistics) as a measure of spatial connectivity, a complete multiple-point statistics framework is presented in this dissertation. In contrast to two-point statistical methods, multiple pointstatistics-based methods are capable of reproducing curvilinear geological structures. The algorithm starts with extracting multiple-point (mp) statistics from training images (conceptual geological description) using an optimal spatial template. After collecting different patterns (data configurations) and building the multiple -point histogram, the pattern reproduction process commences. It begins from data locations (simulatable nodes) and then grows to fill the entire reservoir domain. The algorithm accounts for three main practical issues: uncertainty in geological scenarios, deriving scanning template and non-stationarity. The current algorithm, unlike others, for the cases with many possible geological scenarios ranks the training images based on the consistency between the training images and hard conditioning data. A fast and robust algorithm to derive optimal spatial templates is presented that is based on a semi-automated procedure. Results prove that pattern reproduction using the optimal template is better than using just an arbitrary template specified by the user. Growthsim is capable of integrating data from multiple data sources. Non-stationarity, in terms of variations in facies proportion, can be represented and synthetic and field examples are presented in this dissertation. The conventional approach to integrate production information into reservoir models is by iterative perturbation of the reservoir model until the production history of the reservoir is matched. Iterative methods have been applied to random fields that are completely characterized by a two-point covariance function. An alternate novel technique, as implemented in this research, is based on the merging of multiple-point statistics inferred from history matched and geological models. Pattern growth is performed subsequently by sampling from the merged multiple-point histograms. History matched models, using the presented approach, show an excellent agreement with underlying geological descriptions and match production history. It is demonstrated that the procedure yields a reliable reservoir model best suited for flow prediction.

description: The underlying objective of any enhanced oil recovery technique is to increase the mobility of reservoir fluids. In case of High Pressure Air Injection (HP AI), this is done by injecting pressurized air in the reservoir. This air, along with the reservoir fluids, undergoes a complex oxidation-combustion scheme and develops a fire front, which serves to heat the reservoir fluids, and thereby aids in enhanced oil recovery. This study was undertaken to investigate the potential of HPAl in a naturally fractured, light-oil reservoir. A simulation model was developed based on available laboratory and field data. The model was utilized to perform waterflood and air injection simulation runs in stratified and fractured reservoir environments. Application of horizontal wells was also investigated. The results obtained after an extensive history matching exercise using combustion tube data indicate that the reservoir under study is a very good candidate for High Pressure Air Injection.

description: The ultimate objective of this thesis is to develop a technique for directassessment of reservoir flow performance uncertainties, as compared to manytraditional, computationally expensive techniques such as Monte Carlo simulations. This is achieved via a single stochastic flow simulation that combineslocal geologic uncertainty with a new simple flow transfer model to estimate a joint uncertainty distribution that characterizes flow uncertainty. Our methodprovides the framework to go directly from local uncertainty, derived using simple spatial interpolation techniques, to flow uncertainty, skipping the intermediate step of stochastic sequential simulations and not requiring any detailed fine-scale flow simulations.

description: A palynobiometric investigation of the most important aperture elements of the exine complex in seedless grape cvs Russalka, Korintsko White, Sultanina and the seeded cv. Bolgar was performed by using scanning electron microscopy technique. After direct measurements from the screen, it was established by a scanning image device that a 40-60 pollen grain sample is representative for the polar and equatorial axes, mesocolpium, colp length and apocolpium, while 30-50 pollen grains are representative for the colp width and colp depth.

description: Partial cluster and leaf removals were performed on Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon at veraison during two years to give 4 treatments: control (C), cluster thinning (CT), leaf removal (LR) and cluster thinning + leaf removal (CT+LR). A half of each plot was shaded by a 50 % shading net at veraison (40 % berries coloured). Shading significantly reduced stomatal conductance but not CO2 assimilation rate (Pn) and carboxylation efficiency. Pn was decreased by cluster thinning and enhanced by leaf removal. Leaves of CT vines showed a photosynthetic decay 2 days after the treatment while LR leaves presented an afternoon photosynthetic enhancement 3 days after the treatment probably due to a higher photoassimilate requirement of the bunches (sink). Stomatal conductance did not totally contribute to the P-n depression or enhancement. Electron transport rate and maximum Rubisco activity were strongly affected by CT and LR suggesting that photochemical and biochemical processes were affected to a greater extent than physical processes. Juice sugar concentration was reduced by shading, an effect explained straightforwardly by the lessening of stomatal conductance. CT and LR had large effects on biochemical and photochemical processes but these were in the opposite direction to the expected effects on juice sugar concentration. It is suggested that CT increased sugar concentration because of the low fruit sink load per vine, and that LR decreased sugar concentration because of the low leaf area per vine. If cluster thinning is to be used by growers to gain increased sugar concentration it is recommended to do it at veraison; the sugar accumulation rate is then high and the adaptation of photosynthetic processes to thinning takes several days.

description: Coral reefs are the most diverse habitats in the marine realm. Their productivity, structural complexity, and biodiversity critically depend on ecosystem services provided by corals that are threatened because of climate change effects—in particular, ocean warming and acidification. The coral holobiont is composed of the coral animal host, endosymbiotic dinoflagellates, associated viruses, bacteria, and other microeukaryotes. In particular, the mandatory photosymbiosis with microalgae of the family Symbiodiniaceae and its consequences on the evolution, physiology, and stress resilience of the coral holobiont have yet to be fully elucidated. The functioning of the holobiont as a whole is largely unknown, although bacteria and viruses are presumed to play roles in metabolic interactions, immunity, and stress tolerance. The Tara Pacific project aims to provide a baseline of the “-omics” complexity of the coral holobiont and its ecosystem across the Pacific Ocean and for various oceanographically distinct defined areas.  The Tara Pacific expedition (2016–2018) has applied a pan-ecosystemic approach on coral reefs throughout the Pacific Ocean, drawing an east–west transect from Panama to Papua New Guinea and a south–north transect from Australia to Japan, sampling corals throughout 32 island systems with local replicates. Tara Pacific has developed and applied state-of-the-art technologies in very-high-throughput genetic sequencing and molecular analysis to reveal the entire microbial and chemical diversity as well as functional traits associated with coral holobionts, together with various measures on environmental forcing. This ambitious project aims at revealing a massive amount of novel biodiversity, shedding light on the complex links between genomes, transcriptomes, metabolomes, organisms, and ecosystem functions in coral reefs and providing a reference of the biological state of modern coral reefs in the Anthropocene. The Tara Pacific expedition would not have been possible without the participation and commitment of over 200 scientists, sailors, artists and citizens. We wish to acknowledge their personal contribution in this document. 
Asphaltic Shale Coating Agents

Asphaltic shale

description: Environmental regulations concerning the use of oil-based fluids have motivated the development of water-based muds that contain asphaltic shale coating agents. In particular, drilling guidelines discourage oil-based fluids due to their negative environmental effects. Water-based muds offer a much cheaper and environmentally acceptable solution. The problem with the use of water-based muds is the induced wellbore instability due to the tendency of shales to interact with water. The shales consequently swell or shrink and may eventually cause wellbore collapse. A variety of additives are currently available that claim to be successful in stabilizing shales. Two such agents that are asphaltic in nature, namely Bore-plate and Soltex, have been evaluated in this study for their role in shale stabilization. This thesis is an effort to evaluate the claim that Bore-plate and Soltex reduce the permeability of shale, by physically coating the surface of the shale. An experimental laboratory-scale apparatus was used. The results to date indicate that the ability of the above two asphaltic coating agents to reduce the permeability of shale is dependent on temperature. No reduction in shale permeability was observed at room temperature. At elevated temperatures (240° F) the additives reduced the permeability of the shale by 16.78% for Pierre shale. No reduction in permeability could be achieved for Arco China shale. The results indicate that these additives have very limited potential for reducing water & ion influx into shales.

description: Le conte adapté à l’opéra a produit des œuvres marquantes du répertoire lyrique, mais en petit nombre. Encore en son berceau, l’opéra puisait son inspiration du côté de la mythologie grecque, préfiguration possible d’une pérégrination vers le conte. Ce ne fut pourtant point le cas, la parenté relative entre mythe et conte ne se révélant guère opérante pour l’opéra. Était-il trop sérieux, trop passionné, trop idéologique, trop adulte ?

description:    Dans notre société, les questions éthiques font aujourd’hui l’objet d’un dialogue dans nombre de secteurs importants pour la vie de tous les jours (médecine, environnement,…) et il existe une institutionnalisation du dialogue entre les parties prenantes. La finance ne peut ignorer ce mouvement sociétal, surtout depuis les dernières crises mais, dans le cas de la finance, on assiste davantage à une diabolisation, par la dénonciation et l’indignation, qu’à un véritable dialogue. A l’instar de ce qui existe dans les autres secteurs, le projet de la chaire « Ethique et finance » est d’instaurer ce dialogue pour la finance entre les professionnels, les chercheurs et le public non professionnel, en organisant le débat intellectuel pour alimenter et enrichir le débat public.

title: Modelling interstellar extinction in stellar populations

description: In stellar astrophysics, the determination of the magnitude of interstellar extinction is critical, due to its effect on the observed brightness and colour of the stars. Extinction is therefore an important factor in deriving scientific information from the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of stellar populations. The treatment of extinction in standard CMD analyses is to employ constant ratios of extinction in each photometric filter relative to the visual Johnson-V filter, denoted AX/AV in a generic filter X. This work presents a theoretical analysis of the behaviour of the extinction ratios AX/AV in multiple photometric systems as the values of three stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity) are varied. The results of this analysis show significant variations in the value of AX/AV with changes in the stellar parameters. For certain ultraviolet filters and an AV value of 1.0, the fractional flux lost to extinction is up to two orders of magnitude greater between different stellar atmospheres. Analytic functions of these stellar parameters are proposed to describe these variations. Also presented is an application of these functions to generic isochrones in multiple photometric filter systems. This was followed by an application of the extinction-ratio functions to the highly-reddened star cluster NGC 6793 whose members also have accurate Gaia parallax measurements. When a proper analysis of extinction, via the AX=AV functions, is used on the cluster data, it is shown that there is a non-negligible impact on the age determination for the cluster in multiple CMD axes and in different filter systems. For NGC 6793, the observational data predicts an age of 603 Myr, an AV value of 0.843 and a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.0 when the extinction in each filter is held constant. When the extinction is allowed to vary according to the AX/AV functions, the predicted values for these parameters become 500 Myr, 1.1 and +0.062, respectively. The uncertainties in the observational data, the models and all other factors considered were found to be insufficiently large to render the difference between these results insignificant. It was therefore concluded that changing the method of calculating extinction in isochrones results in a significant change in cluster parameter estimates, particularly for the age and AV values.
