Attitude transitioning

Moreover, in many cases, a shift of Tg to lower values of temperature has been detected, but in these cases the quality of adhesion between phases may be the main reason for the reversing of this attitude 11,14). If calorimetric measurements are executed in the neighbourhood of the glass transition zone, it is easy to show that jumps of energies appear in this neighbourhood. These jumps are very sensitive to the amount of filler added to the matrix polymer and they were used for the evaluation of the boundary layers developed around fillers. 

Sociocultural, illness, and biological factors affect individual attitudes towards psychotropic medications. Health beliefs or explanatory models, particularly causal attributions regarding the illness and the treatment options afforded within such models, exert a profound influence on patients attitudes and behavior regarding medications (Smith, Lin Mendoza, 1993). Such effects can be subtle and can occur during the course of treatment even if there has been initial successful negotiation about the nature of the illness and treatment. In psychiatric illness little research has been leveled at the personal meaning that patients bring to treatment practices such as electro-convulsive therapy (ECT), oral medications, and depot injections, or to the transition between different administrative routes and types of medications. 

As instructors of physical chemistry, we all too often hear comments like the one in the title of this chapter. The prevailing attitude with which many students approach physical chemistry is one of fear for their academic survival. The concerns they have are not so much with the chemistry but with the math. For some students, the physical chemistry course is the first time they must authentically apply advanced mathematical concepts to solve real problems. Instructors can facilitate this transformation with exercises that demand critical thinking skills, but developing such materials requires extensive time and talent. The Virtual Substance molecular dynamics program is a powerful tool in our efforts as educators to help students successfully transition from abstract knowledge of mathematics to its application to scientific concepts. 

For a successful transition to retirement, have realistic expectations based on your personal limitations—talent, finances, physical ability, and so on. Take your limitations into account, but don t use them as an excuse not to try something. A positive outlook helps. Your attitude strongly influences your experience, so go into retirement expecting the most. Then work to see that you are not disappointed. 

Artifacts of unbaked clay recovered in archaeological excavations present a singular series of problems. If washed, they may turn to mud if left unfired, they may be damaged in transit. One particular class of material, cuneiform tablets, has received particularly severe treatment. Dowman describes accurately the general attitude (38). 

As was noted in Bersohn-Esack s review, The history of every computer application is marked by an initial over-optimism. The over-optimism results from the fact that people are successful in getting the computer to consider and solve simple problems in their area but the transition from simple problems to complicated ones is much more difficult than anticipated . In fact, the general attitude toward the efficiency of computer assistance in the elaboration of... 

The purpose of this chapter is to examine a major paradigmatic change that is currently taking place in science—a chsmge that concerns the role of uncertainty in science. This change is manifested by a transition from the traditional attitude toward uncertainty in science, according to which uncertainty is undesirable and the ideal is to eliminate it, to an alternative attitude, according to which uncertainty is fundamental and its avoidance is counterproductive. 

Attracted by the wealth and accuracy of the information provided by X-ray crystallographic analysis, organic chemists utilize this powerful tool to infer mechanistic and conformational hypotheses based on structural data [20J, though it seems implausible that static, crystalline species could reveal any information regarding the dynamics of transition states. This attitude has been particularly fruitful in the study of weak intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding f2l and Lewis acid-base interactions [22, 23], and obviously carbony 1-Lewis acid complexation is not the exception. 

Now she is the editor of the annual volume Metastable States and phase Transitions / possibly, the only edition devoted exclusively to the phenomenon of metastability. Finally, G.V. Ermakov (1938), the coauthor of the report Investigation of the attainable superheat of liquids in a wide region of pressure at that Conference, has developed the method of a rising droplet to study the nucleation kinetics under pressure and a number of methods to determine the thermodynamic properties of liquids in superheated states. To my opinion, his attitude to science in a broad sense corresponds to the spirit of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes . ... 

Changes have come about in the attitudes of US. chemical corporations towards their marketplace during the postwar period. Worldwide marketing, as seen by the customer, moved from the suppliers being an aloof, distant seller of excess production to an involved local marketer with international strengths. The several major problems, real and imagined, that have been encountered during the transition are described and solutions proposed.
