Attitudes toward

The results of the review exercise described above confirmed that all shipyards do not have the same attitude towards quality. Whilst the results presented by most of the yards visited were reasonably consistent at 0.5 - 4.5 % repair rate regardless of NDE method, the results from other yards were less satisfactory. The exercise showed that in some yards repair rates were regularly in excess of 10% and that repair rates for radiography tended to be higher than those for ultrasonics.

The continuous development of new materials has resulted in changing attitudes towards materials selection for corrosion control, and the range of materials now available can be gauged from the Materials Selector Review", which becomes considerably thicker each time it is updated. Plastics are replacing metals for a variety of applications and a recent application is the use of g.r.p. in place of metals for the construction of hulls of hovercrafts the corrosive action of the high velocity spray of sea-water is such that very few metals are capable of withstanding it and the use of g.r.p. represents the... 

Bamberger s arguments were based mainly on classical organic chemistry, e.g., formation of derivatives, whereas Hantzsch was already using physicochemical methods. It took Bamberger 18 years to abandon his negative attitude towards the diazoate stereoisomerism (Bamberger and Baudisch, 1912). 

Bamberger s main achievements were the rediscovery of Blomstrand s diazonium formula and the development of a large number of methods for the preparation of diazoates and azo compounds. In the end, Bamberger abandoned his negative attitude towards the stereoisomerism of the diazoates by reason of his own experiments, which demonstrated the similarities in the oxidation behavior of isomeric series of oximes and diazo compounds (Bamberger and Baudisch, 1912).

In many circumstances, factors other than business knowledge will be more important in determining the quality of a mentoring relationship. These include that mentors must possess a particular set of skills, abilities and attributes. Furthermore, they must be familiar with mentoring techniques and processes and possess the right attitude towards mentoring. We will take a look at all of these components in the following sections. 

Enthusiasm for the mentee involves having a very positive attitude towards him or her, and having the mentee s best interests at heart. Mentors should genuinely believe in the mentee s potential to improve his or her performance. They must also take the mentee s problems, desires and aspirations seriously.

Biodegradable polymers are likely to be increasingly important materials in the future, finding use in applications as diverse as medicine, agriculture, and pharmacy. For applications such as packaging, they remain expensive. However, with changing public attitudes towards enviromnental pollution, it is likely that objections based purely on cost will dimiiush, and that such applications will also grow in the years ahead. 

The quantity of these materials is relatively small compared with the amount of waste high-density poly(ethylene) produced each year. Containers made from HDPE are widely used for detergents, oil, and antifreeze, and enormous amounts of material are used in disposable applications aimually. In principle recycled poly(ethylene) could be used for drain pipes, flower pots, dustbins, and plastic crates. The problem remains, however, that economics do not favour recycling of these polymers and in the absence of Government intervention little or nothing can be done to alter commercial attitudes towards recycling. 

As a consequence, much of the public has come to believe that most chemicals are hazardous. A recent poll by the Roper Organization revealed that two out of three American citizens expect a major chemical disaster, resulting in thousands of deaths, within the next 50 years. The poll also found that a high proportion of the public lacked confidence that industry would deal openly with them. A public attitude toward exposure to chemicals is developing that can be summed up by the words, "no risk." But, as a judge recently stated, "In the crowded conditions of modem life, even the most careful person cannot avoid creating some risks and accepting others. What one must not do, and what I think a careful person tries not to do, is to create a risk which is substantial." ... 

For many years, the lectures of Yngve Ohrn on the theory of chemical bonding have been models of clarity and incisiveness to graduate students at the University of Florida and at various topical schools. Their success in introducing the assumptions and conclusions of molecular orbital theory, group theory, electron correlation methods and related subjects has engendered a critical, but liberal attitude toward competing doctrines.
