Analyzing desired behaviors

TABLE 6-2. ABC ANALYSIS, STEP 2-ANALYZE DESIRED BEHAVIOR. 

Create an index file using makemdx after the solvation of the protein. Default index files are generated by and also required by most GROMACS commands, but it is generally desirable to create files with special index groups in order to analyze the behavior of a particular subset of solute and/or solvent atoms. 

A basic understanding of the theory that underlies behavioral technology will help you make your efforts successful. Such an understanding will be useful as you (1) develop your implementation plans, (2) problem solve and refine your efforts, and (3) analyze incidents to plan preventive measures. The process is straightforward in theory but often is more difficult in practice. First you specify the desired behavior then you analyze the situational and historical events that support a particular behavior. 

Football coaches, for instance, spend hours and hours analyzing film. Then they deliver specific and constructive feedback to team members to instruct, support, or motivate desirable behavior and/or to decrease imdesirable behavior. Sometimes the feedback is given in a group session, perhaps by critiquing videotapes of team competition. At other times, the feedback is given individually in a personal one-on-one conversation. Usually, the one-to-one format has greater impact on individual performance. 

In most studies, the latter procedure produced better results due to memory constraints. The usefulness of the CIT strongly depends on the verbal abilities of the person interviewed. Experience has shown that most supervisors are able to report critical incidents. CIT can also be used as an observation tool. Komaki et al. (1978) identified desired safety practices by observing and analyzing critical incidents at a food manufacturing plant and improved safety performance considerably by frequent low-cost reinforcement of the desired behavior. 

Analyze the desired behavior. State the target behavior in its desirable, nonproblematic form. List its antecedents and consequences, plus the consequence potencies. 

The sohd line in Figure 3 represents the potential vs the measured (or the appHed) current density. Measured or appHed current is the current actually measured in an external circuit ie, the amount of external current that must be appHed to the electrode in order to move the potential to each desired point. The corrosion potential and corrosion current density can also be deterrnined from the potential vs measured current behavior, which is referred to as polarization curve rather than an Evans diagram, by extrapolation of either or both the anodic or cathodic portion of the curve. This latter procedure does not require specific knowledge of the equiHbrium potentials, exchange current densities, and Tafel slope values of the specific reactions involved. Thus Evans diagrams, constmcted from information contained in the Hterature, and polarization curves, generated by experimentation, can be used to predict and analyze uniform and other forms of corrosion. Further treatment of these subjects can be found elsewhere (1—3,6,18). 

The Importance of developing crop plants that are resistant to major Insect pests has created a need for detailed examination of the mechanisms Involved In resistance. The widely recognized classification proposed by Painter W appears to provide an acceptable break-down of the possible bases of resistance for most purposes. However, some modification of the terminology may be desirable before beginning to analyze the Individual mechanisms Involved. The term "nonpreference" refers to a behavioral response of the Insect to a plant, whereas "antibiosis" and "tolerance" refer to plant characteristics. This anomaly has been addressed by Kogan and Ortman ( ), who suggested the term "antlxenosls" to describe the plant properties responsible for nonpreference. 

Since FCC units are usually operated at their middle unstable steady state, extensive efforts are needed to analyze the design and dynamic behavior of open loop and closed loop control systems to stabilize the desirable middle steady state. 

Since a large number of polycarbonates possessing the desired structural features can be prepared from a variety of diols, it is useful to develop simple methods to predict their behavior as resist materials. To this effect, we have devised spectroscopic methods to follow the degradation of the polycarbonates under a variety of thermolysis or acidolysis conditions. For example, the thermolysis of the solid polymers can be followed conveniently by gas-chromato-graphy-mass spectrometry. The thermolysis is a very clean reaction which proceeds as shown in Scheme III without side-product formation. Figure 4 shows the gas chromatographic trace obtained when polymer II is subjected to thermolysis near 250 the products analyzed by the mass spectrometer have the expected structures as shown in Figure 4. 

The behavior of the chlorination and dimerization reactions can be analyzed by the mental tool called the snapshot. With the snapshot one mentally freezes the processing at some point in order to assess the tendencies for the desired reaction and side reactions to occur. Consider taking a snapshot of the chlorination...
