Communication ABOUT

To propel or move anything requires energy. Light, electrical waves, or sound waves used in communication are no exception. Wliat is different about communication is the energy used to transmit data. 

When we think about communication, we have a propensity to associate this term with written and oral messages. Effective communication goes beyond speaking and writing intelligibly it includes ...

The recent theoretical approach based on the information theory (IT) in studying aqueous solutions and hydration phenomena [62 66] shows such a direction. IT is a part of the system based on a probabilistic way of thinking about communication, introduced in 1948 by Sharmon and subsequently developed [114]. It consists in the quantitative description of the information by defining entropy as a function of probability... 

For a given d-ASC, then, how can we determine whether there is deterioration, improvement, or simply alteration in communication ability, or a complex combination of all three More specifically, we must ask this question with respect to communication across d-SoCs-about communication between two persons in different d-SoCs as well as about communication between two persons in the same d-SoC. in... 

It is challenging to extrapolate general surveillance data, particularly with limited health-effects data, to individual risk estimates without the genetic, external-exposure, lifestyle, and other data that a clinician could use to adjust population risk estimates for individual cases. As a result, previous comments about communication difficulties with respect to health implications apply far more to surveillance studies than they do to the interaction of a personal or occupational physician with an individual patient or worker on whom the physician also has extensive nonbiomarker information. For example, clinicians might in rare cases determine that BEIs are appropriate comparison values for a specific patient s biomarker concentrations. 

Finally, we talked about some of the diversity programs—seminars, talks, and the like. One of the programs that was mentioned was Pat Heim s She Said/He Said program,1 which talked about communication styles. 

School chemistry, on the other hand is mostly about communicating the established body of knowledge or, in other words, a convergent view of science. Kuhn [24] describes the practices of "normal science education" as follows ... 

Governance is also about communication, and depends heavily on how the company presents itself to the wider world, i.e. to all the groups with a legitimate interest in its alfairs. This process of communication becomes even more vital as companies expand and go beyond their national boundaries, sell their products internationally and endeavour to raise finance on the world s capital markets. The emphasis on transparency and serving a wider range of stakeholders underpins the perceived need for more environmental reporting. 

Marketing pushes our ideas out into the open through it, we end up exposed, out on a limb, and risking our comfortable place to communicate and build a community around an idea (there s more about communication and community later in the chapter on autumn). That s what we re here for— the experience, not to be perfect. These seven organic marketing principles below are simply a guide to help you build a more conscious marketing map from the start, a map that is more in fine with who you are. 

Arnold Thackray illustrated the history of chemical journals, proposing to understand what is happening in the present by looking into the past. In every age, the amount of literature has seemed as if it is going to overwhelm people, Thackray said. Science has been about communication for the past 350 years, he continued. Both the science itself and the means of its communication are competitive enterprises, where the prize is to be first, he said. He talked about the origins of chemical journals, the rise of scientific societies, the idea of a world brain and journals after World War I. 

ACT This is the last stage and includes standards about communication and use of environmental declarations and claims.

We all talk about communication and how important it is, but we don t always practice it. The safety program must have a vehicle for engineers, or any staff for that matter, to have a way to report and track their concerns. It is typical for humans to want to solve problems in house, not to air dirty laundry. Fear of ridicule and punishment is very strong. Engineers (nonsafety) should also have an appropriate problemreporting system that allows them to enter data without reprimand. The tracking of... 

Conning and Kevane (2001) summarize the little that is known about community-based targeting systems. 

Obvionsly, the constraining and enhancing featnres of this model say a lot about communications processes and architectures. On the one hand, a sociotechnical system can be characterized by rigid bureaucratic control and one-way, top-down communication on the other hand, it can be much more collaborative and peer to peer. In terms of communications processes, these are two qnite distinct sitnations that may be more or less appropriate to different circumstances. Of conrse, there are many points and combinations in between, and there is nothing to say that an organization needs to be fixed. Indeed, communication architectnres can be dynamically reconfigured to suit different circumstances (e.g., normal vs. emergency sitnations). 

I am an anticommunist. That was not always so. But working in the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania altered my views about communism. Figure 38.1, drawn to scale, illustrates the reason for my revised political orientation. Really That s the way the piping and control valves looked in the field. It happens because of bad design practices ...
