Explanation for diagrams
The diagram is made up of three overlapping circles
that is used to show
relationships between sets of information. In this example the diagram
is used to show the relationships between specific weight, protein
content and Hagberg falling numbers for wheat, or nitrogen, screenings
and moisture content for barley. When this principle is applied
to sample data held in the Cereal Quality Survey database a picture
emerges of the availability of certain grades of wheat on a regional
basis.
Example
Select the following options
1. Wheat
2. 2003
3. Eastern region
4. Hereward
And then move the top slide rule to 76kg/hl specific
weight, the middle slide rule to 250 Hagberg falling number and
the bottom slide rule to 13 % protein. The '<' and '>' buttons
allow you to specify whether you want to calculate values greater
or less than the number on the slide rule.
Then click on the ‘calculate results‘
button at the bottom of the page.
The numbers within each part of the diagram will
have changed. They show that
66% of samples of Hereward samples in the Eastern region have specific
weight values higher than 76kg/hl (irrespective of Hagberg &
Protein), 77 % of samples meet both 76kg specific weight and 13%
Protein and 66%
of samples meet all three criteria of 13% protein 250 Hagberg falling
number and 76kg/hl specific weight.
Repeat the above procedure for any variables
you want.
