Addressing Behaviors

Supervisors must explain work rules and behavioral expectations to all new or transferred employees. Supervisors must never tolerate individuals who encourage others to disregard work rules or established procedures. When disciplining an individual, do so in private but always document the facts. Senior leaders, managers, and supervisors must set an example for others. They must discourage poor behaviors by reinforcing the importance of acceptable behaviors. 

Step 1 —Identify the unsafe action Step 2—State concern for worker safety Step 3—Demonstrate the correct and safe way Step 4—Ensure the worker understands Step 5 —Restate concern for personal safety Step 6—Eollow-up

The most important point in the use of diesel fuel is its cold temperature behavior. The subject has been addressed previously because it directly affects the engine operation in winter conditions. 

Many complex systems have been spread on liquid interfaces for a variety of reasons. We begin this chapter with a discussion of the behavior of synthetic polymers at the liquid-air interface. Most of these systems are linear macromolecules however, rigid-rod polymers and more complex structures are of interest for potential optoelectronic applications. Biological macromolecules are spread at the liquid-vapor interface to fabricate sensors and other biomedical devices. In addition, the study of proteins at the air-water interface yields important information on enzymatic recognition, and membrane protein behavior. We touch on other biological systems, namely, phospholipids and cholesterol monolayers. These systems are so widely and routinely studied these days that they were also mentioned in some detail in Chapter IV. The closely related matter of bilayers and vesicles is also briefly addressed. 

What is addressed by these sources is the ontology of quantal description. Wave functions (and other related quantities, like Green functions or density matrices), far from being mere compendia or short-hand listings of observational data, obtained in the domain of real numbers, possess an actuality of tbeir own. From a knowledge of the wave functions for real values of the variables and by relying on their analytical behavior for complex values, new properties come to the open, in a way that one can perhaps view, echoing the quotations above, as miraculous. ... 

Experimental observation of topological phases is difficult, for one reason (among others) that the dynamic-phase part (which we have subtracted off in our formalism, but is present in any real situation) in general oscillates much faster than the topological phase and tends to dominate the amplitude behavior [306-312]. Several researches have addressed this difficulty, in particular, by neutron-interferornehic methods, which also can yield the open-path phase [123], though only under restricted conditions [313]. 

Quantum mechanics (QM) is the correct mathematical description of the behavior of electrons and thus of chemistry. In theory, QM can predict any property of an individual atom or molecule exactly. In practice, the QM equations have only been solved exactly for one electron systems. A myriad collection of methods has been developed for approximating the solution for multiple electron systems. These approximations can be very useful, but this requires an amount of sophistication on the part of the researcher to know when each approximation is valid and how accurate the results are likely to be. A significant portion of this book addresses these questions. 

A number of methods fill the valence of the interface atoms with an extra orbital, sometimes centered on the connecting MM atom. This results in filling out the valence while requiring a minimum amount of additional CPU time. The concern, which is dilficult to address, is that this might still affect the chemical behavior of the interface atom or even induce a second atom affect. 

The simulation of molecules in solution can be broken down into two categories. The first is a list of elfects that are not defined for a single molecule, such as diffusion rates. These types of effects require modeling the bulk liquid as discussed in Chapters 7 and 39. The other type of effect is a solvation effect, which is a change in the molecular behavior due to the presence of a solvent. This chapter addresses this second type of effect. 

Whereas there is no universally accepted specification for marketed natural gas, standards addressed in the United States are Hsted in Table 6 (8). In addition to these specifications, the combustion behavior of natural gases is frequently characteri2ed by several parameters that aid in assessing the influence of compositional variations on the performance of a gas burner or burner configuration. The parameters of flash-back and blow-off limits help to define the operational limits of a burner with respect to flow rates. The yeUow-tip index helps to define the conditions under which components of the natural gas do not undergo complete combustion, and the characteristic blue flame of natural gas burners begins to show yellow at the flame tip. These... 

Although modeling of supercritical phase behavior can sometimes be done using relatively simple thermodynamics, this is not the norm. Especially in the region of the critical point, extreme nonideahties occur and high compressibilities must be addressed. Several review papers and books discuss modeling of systems comprised of supercritical fluids and soHd orHquid solutes (rl,i4—r7,r9,i49,r50).

Much is known about coUoids and their formation and behavior, but considerably more remains unknown. Thus the fuU potential to control coUoids is not presently realized. 

The discussion of laminar diffusion flame theory addresses both the gaseous diffusion flames and the single-drop evaporation and combustion, as there are some similarities between gaseous and Hquid diffusion flame theories (2). A frequentiy used model of diffusion flames has been developed (34), and despite some of the restrictive assumptions of the model, it gives a good description of diffusion flame behavior. 

The majority of published °Pb reports address the utility of °Pb as a geochronological tool rather than as an element that is involved in complex biogeochemical cycles. Nonetheless, some of these studies do provide insight into the geochemical behavior of °Pb and °Po. Nearly all of the lead in the world s surface oceans is believed to be of anthropogenic origin—derived from combustion... 

Since elastic behavior is important for inelastic constitutive equations, it is instructive to examine the behavior of the hypoelastic constitutive equation (5.112) in some detail. This has been addressed variously by Truesdell and Noll [20], Eringen [16], Atluri [17], and others. 

The few studies which addressed the fracture mechanics behavior of very small cracks generally revealed a quantitative departure from behavior determined at longer crack lengths. This result may be attributed to a departure from perfect mechanical and microstructural similitude between long and small cracks.
