Answering Objections

I will say more about different ways to realize the norm of equality and discuss the probable effects of the introduction of the modified right to self-determination on the behavior of substate groups and their relations with their state-endowed counterparts in the next chapter. 

An earlier version of the discussion of the consequences of the introduction of the modified tight (now presented in parts of this chapter and of Chapter 6) was published in Anna Moltchanova, Stateless national groups, international justice, and asymmetrical warfare, The Journal of Political Philosophy, 13(2), June 2005, 194-215, publisher WUey and Sons Ltd.

An authority external to a people and their political community can govern them legitimately on a temporary basis when it is an interim authority created and put in place for a period of transition. 

According to Joseph Raz, a person may be said to have a tight if and only if some aspect of his well-being (some interest of his) is sufficiently important in itself to justify holding other person or persons to be under a duty. See The Morality of Freedom, p. 166.

Figure 2 clearly indicates that a captan wettable powder containing approximately 55% captan, 33% clay, 11% dispersant, and 1% surfactant should be evaluated if maximum suspensibility is desired. In addition to indicating regions of optimal composition, response-surface maps are extremely useful in analyzing cost vs. performance. Questions such as, "What is the most economical formulation that has 60% suspensibility " may be answered objectively, without additional experimentation. 

From the positive, and dogmatic manner, in which this author delivers his opinions, and answers objections made to his sentiments — one would conclude, that he was some pedantic pedagogue who had been accustomed to deliver his dogmas to pupils, who always placed implicit faith in what he delivered. 

Surface science has tlirived in recent years primarily because of its success at providing answers to frmdamental questions. One objective of such studies is to elucidate the basic mechanisms that control surface reactions. For example, a goal could be to detennine if CO dissociation occurs prior to oxidation over Pt catalysts. A second objective is then to extrapolate this microscopic view of surface reactions to the... 

One of the particulady challenging aspects of the work in a museum laboratory is the enormous variety of problems encountered. Every object examined is unique and for each the questions to be answered differ. Thus the museum laboratory most closely resembles, if anything, the forensic laboratory, and many of the methodologies employed are common (see Forensic chemistry). 

The first question about a stone object is often which stone was used. Indeed, museums have many labels that carry an erroneous identification. X-ray diffraction provides a relatively easy answer for such questions of identification. 

The QRA project team can select the appropriate technical approach once you specify the study objectives, and together you can define the scope. A variety of modeling techniques and general data sources (discussed in Section 3.2) can be used to produce the desired results. Many computer programs are now available to aid in calculating risk estimates, and many automatically give more answers than you will need. The QRA team must take care to supply appropriate risk characteristics that satisfy your study objectives—and no more. 

The use of electrochemical protection in the chemical industry started about 20 years ago, which is somewhat recent, compared with its use for buried pipelines 40 years ago. Adoption was slow because the internal protection has to be tailored to the individual plant, which is not the case with the external protection of buried objects. Interest in internal protection came from the increasing need for greater safety for operating plants, increased demands for corrosion resistance, and larger plant components. While questions of its economy cannot generally be answered (see Section 22.6), the costs of electrochemical protection are generally less than the cost of equivalent and reliable coatings or corrosion-resistant materials. 

The major objective of the experimental program was to obtain data that could be used to assess the accuracy of existing models for vapor cloud dispersion. The combustion experiments were designed to complement this objective by providing answers to the question, What would happen if such a cloud ignited ... 

Accountability is the obligation to answer for one s performance with respect to expectations, goals, and objectives. It is an important element of an effective process safety management system. To improve safety, the risk associated with human errors must be reduced. The work situation is the predominant cause of human errors and management has control over the work situation. 

These questions must be answered by setting defect limits objectively. 

The short answer is that the ON/OFF bits are real on the microscopic level and the objects are real on a higher, emergent level. A glider is a specific pattern of lower-level bits that, unless it comes into contact with other patterns, is faithfully reproduced in a diagonally displaced position every four iterations. The deeper answer is that both questions are ill-posed because neither object nor real can be objectively defined. Both terms can be understood only when interpreted modulo a specific dynamical level. 

This is the characteristic pattern of an explanation. It begins with a Why question that asks about a process that is not well understood. An answer is framed in terms of a process that is well understood. In our example, the origin, of gas pressure in the balloon is the process we wish to clarify. It is difficult even to sense the presence of a gas. The air around us usually cannot be seen, tasted, nor smelled (take away smog) it cannot be heard or felt if there is no wind. So we attempt to explain the properties of a gas in terms of the behavior of billiard balls. These objects are readily seen and felt their behavior has been thoroughly studied and is well understood. 

So what are we to make of the daim that the periodic table has now been explained in terms of electronic configurations and the number of outer-shell electrons possessed by atoms of the elements Perhaps the best way to answer this question is to admit that the explanation is approximate and that a number of objections can be raised to it. 

The answer is that the objective is to precipitate out all of the citric add as insoluble caldum dtrate. Magnesium dtrate is very soluble and would, therefore, be lost in the aqueous phase during the next separation. 

The answers to these questions as detailed in the plan, however, are not set in stone. To the contrary, both mentor and men tee should make a conscious effort to realize that the relevance of both objectives and actions may change over time. This also explains why it is important to review the PDF periodically. 

In terms of what to assess, the simple answer is to revisit the original proposal for mentoring and puU out the objectives for fhe program to establish how well these have been met. The more clearly the objectives have been defined, the more confidence we can have in making an appraisal of the program. Consider the following quotation (Yellowbrick Consulting, 2000) ... 

The simplified theory allows the time-dependent wave function to be calculated rapidly for any specified laser field. However, controlling the dynamics of the charge carriers requires the answer to an inverse question [18-22]. That is, given a specific target or objective, what is the laser field that best drives the system to that objective Several methods have been developed to address this question. This section sketches one method, valid in the weak response (perturbative) regime in which most experiments on semiconductors are performed. 

The objectives of the soil persistence experiments were (1) to learn the effect of soil type and concentration on the TCDD degradation rate, (2) to isolate and characterize degradation products from DCDD and TCDD, and (3) to determine whether chlorodioxins could be formed from chlorophenol condensation in the soil environment. This last study was essential since quality control at the manufacturing level could reduce or eliminate the formed dioxin impurity. But the biosynthesis of chlorodioxins by chlorophenol condensation in the soil environment could not be controlled and would have connotations for all chlorophenol-de-rived pesticides if formation did occur. The same question needed to be answered for photochemical condensation reactions leading to chloro-...
