Analysis of the situation

In any particular situation, it is usually possible to give a variety of reasons why the observed quantity behaves in an erratic manner. The observed quantity may be critically dependent on certain parameters and the observed fluctuations attributed to slight variations of these parameters. The implication here is that the observed fluctuations appear erratic only because we have not taken the trouble to make a sufficiently precise analysis of the situation to disclose the pattern the observations are following. It is also possible, in some situations, to adopt the viewpoint that certain aspects of the phenomenon being studied are inherently unknowable and that the best physical laws we can devise to explain the phenomenon will have some form of randomness or unpredictability built into them. Such is the case, for example, with thermal noise voltages, which are believed to be governed by the probabilistic laws of quantum physics. 

But suppose the noise is not small enough to be ignored, that is it is not small compared to r Then we cannot ignore it, or its effect on the equations. As we might expect, it also complicates the analysis of the situation enormously. 

The starting point for effective action, therefore, needs to be an analysis of the situation you are having to manage. This means doing three things ... 

Looking back over your experience will lead you into a variety of post mortems. You will often kick yourself for not having done things differently. Sometimes these mistakes will be errors of judgement. It is important to understand these and know where your analysis of the situation went wrong, what assumptions were misplaced, what you could have done to make things turn out differently. 

In situations where the macroscopic equations tell us that a coherent state is possible, it is important to know if this coherence could withstand the destructive influence of fluctuations. For instance, the macroscopic equations of a diffusion-reaction system might have a solution that implies that the concentrations can oscillate homogeneously. We expect the in-homogenous fluctuations to have a tendency to destroy this coherence if they are strong enough. An analysis of the situation shows that the coherence can be maintained if the dimension of the system is larger than a certain critical dimension. Malek-Mansour et al.19 have shown that for chemical systems amenable to one variable, the critical dimension dc is given by... 

It is often experimentally observed that in the Nyquist plot, semi-circles are obtained with a centre point below the x-axis. Analysis of the situation tells us that the double-layer capacity is not a suitable description of the system occurring and should be replaced by an element with an impedance function given in Equation 2.51 ... 

For azeotropic mixtures the analysis of the situation is more complex, as will be seen from the next section. 

A more detailed analysis of the situation shows that the proportionality constant is Thus the exact equation for ZA is... 

The analysis of the situation is then quite complex but was worked out by Gilroy et al. (124) and applied to change of coverage by adsorbed oxygen species in the anodic O2 evolution reaction at nickel oxide. A more recent development of their analysis has been given by Lasia (125). 

An elementary economic analysis of the situation follows. We have seen that a typical 50 ha farm could yield about 106 MJ of energy in the form of high energy char or low energy gas. Compared to fuel oil at (U.S.) 0.11/litre (U.S. values 0.45/ gallon) this would have a value of about (U.S.) 3,400. 

In all of the preceding contexts, it might prove expedient to employ a different solution technique to the analysis of the situation. The path integral technique of Kardar and co-workers appear promising in this regard [39]. 

What should politicians make of the picture we have presented in this hook This final chapter is intended to answer that question and give some indication of how to proceed. Of course, any decision on political action has to be based on a thorough analysis of the situation, as described in the overview of organic farming in Europe today in Chapter 2. 

Analysis of the situation for such acids and bases will be given (Section 11.14), once individual molar ionic conductivities have been discussed (see Section 11.11 below). 

This can be illustrated by analysis of the situations presented in Fig. 7 for a complex of two acetic acid molecules and for succinic acid viewed as an approximated dimer of two acetic acids. Using the calculations of Table 1, the loose complex of two acetic acids will have lost only 4.1 eu relative to two free acetic acids. The succinic acid, however, is much more constrained. Its three remaining modes of internal rotation can be seen to correspond to the rotation of the two... 

If, as shown by the analysis of the situation of a Michaelian sink of reaction product, enzyme cooperativity is not a necessary prerequisite for sustained glycolytic oscillations, the analysis of the model nevertheless indicates that the nonlinearity associated with enzyme cooperativity favours periodic behaviour and, in most circumstances, remains essential for its occurrence. 

That s your considered in-depth analysis of the situation is it " For a moment she thought she d gone and wounded him. But he just gave a gaunt smile. Not angry. 

At the lowest level, skill-based behavior, human performance is governed by patterns of preprogrammed behaviors represented as analog structures in a time-space domain in human memory. This mode of behavior is characteristic of well-practiced and routine situations whereby open-loop or feedforward control makes performance faster. Skill-based behavior is the result of extensive practice where people develop a repertoire of cue-response patterns suited to specific situations. When a familiar situation is recognized, a response is activated, tailored, and applied to the situation. Neither any conscious analysis of the situation nor any sort of deliberation of alternative solutions is required.
