Behavior pinpointing

The reason for identifying the desired behavior is that it allows you to focus on the positive. Once you identify the desired behavior, you can plan ways to encourage and support the desired behavior. Pinpointing the undesired behavior also enables you to plan ways of discouraging such behaviors, but this is the traditional and less effective approach to safety. Establishing a preventative safety initiative requires that you know what behaviors you want to encourage and that you design an environment that provides positive support for those behaviors. 

The copper system appears to behave similarly to the silver system, and it may be used here in order to illustrate the idea of "selective, naked-cluster cryophotochemistry 150,151). A typical series of optical-spectral traces that illustrate these effects for Cu atoms is given in Fig. 15, which shows the absorptions of isolated Cu atoms in the presence of small proportions of Cu2, and traces of Cus molecules. Under these concentration conditions, the outcome of 300-nm, narrow-band photoexcitation of atomic Cu is photoaggregation up to the Cus stage. The growth-decay behavior of the various cluster-absorptions allows unequivocal pinpointing of UV-visible, electronic transitions associated with Cuj and Cus 150). With the distribution of Cui,2,3 shown in Fig. 15, 370-nm, narrow-band excitation of Cu2 can be considered. Immediately apparent from these optical spectra is the growth (—10%) of the Cu atomic-resonance lines. Noticeable also is the concomitant... 

Stephen S. Hall imagines a day when the MRI machine replaces the couch, when the therapist uses words or odors or pictures to excite and pinpoint circuitry and then the neuroanatomist translates the images into explanations of behavior (Hall, 1997). 

The results are plotted in Fig. 14. The upper two lines refer to the A fiber and the lower two lines to the HM fiber. For both fibers, the addition and removal of surface chemical groups did not produce reversible interfacial behavior. The untreated fiber surfaces produced results that could not be duplicated when the surface groups were removed. Microtoming of single fiber specimens pinpointed changes in the locus of interfacial fracture that were relatable to the interphase conditions caused by the surface treatment. 

Since the first insulin PEGylation studies of Ehrart and Luisi, several investigations have been carried to improve the physico-chemical and biological properties of this hormone by site-specific or random attachment of one or more PEG chains with different molecular weight and shape. Although the array of events which determines changes in the in-vivo behavior of insulin are often difficult to pinpoint, these studies showed that the biopharmaceutical properties of the hormone are... 

Model reduction aims at simplifying without losing the essence of the dynamic behavior of a model. Reduction of silicon cells should thereby facilitate the understanding of real cells. Strategies for model reduction, pinpointing molecular organizational properties that are essential for network behavior, are essential to make silicon cell models understandable. 

At this time, it is not possible to pinpoint the reason for the poor performance of the pecan pith extract in bonding to nylon. The tannin is predominantly a prodelphinidin (S J jS -hexahydroxyflavan) instead of pro-cyanidin (Hemingway, R. W., Southern Forest Experiment Station, unpublished results), but that would not seem to be a reasonable cause for such a large difference in behavior. A comparison of elemental composition and carbohydrates obtained after hydrolysis shows much lower amounts of carbohydrates in the pecan pith extract (Table II). The low proportion of carbohydrate obtained after hydrolysis is consistent with comparatively high Stiasny polyphenol content of 87% for the pecan pith extract. 

Most of the tools in this research area have not been based on theoretical findings from behavioral user studies. They have instead often evolved from a need for some level of interaction with the underlying algorithm. However, without tool evaluations or underlying theories, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact features that lead to a more usable tool. Researchers must address this lack of evaluation and theoretical foundations. 

Finally, once the problem behavior has been narrowed down, a good final step is to try to pinpoint the problem using a checklist. It is surprising how many problems can be found by running quickly through a checklist—for example,... 

Finally, a criterion was discovered. It was the notched beam ductility test, which seemed to pinpoint the abnormal behavior and to discriminate between acceptable and unacceptable materials of this type. 

The structure of a given crystal might be assigned to one of the seven crystal systems or to one of the 14 Bravais lattices. In those classification schemes, one can state with certainty the crystal system as well as the type of lattice. On a deeper level, one could deduce the molecular point group of the molecules in the unit cell, which would then pinpoint to which of the 32 point groups the crystal belongs. This latter classification would yield both the crystal system and the relationships between the tensors that describe the macroscopic behavior and the properties of the crystal. 

The term tecton does not address a "yes-or-no phenomenon." It is applied to molecules with interactions that thanks to energetic and structural characteristics, are dominated by particular associative forces that induce the self-assembly of organized networks with specific architectural or functional features. The term pinpoints aspects of the suprainolecular behavior of molecules. As is always the case in behavioral matters and in dominance affairs, the use of the term is somewhat subjective. This becomes more true when the extremity of weak interaction patterns is approached, and the possibility of exchanging the pattern from one network structure to another becomes more remote. For this reason and with the aim to avoid a biased selection, the tectons described in this article were, in most cases, drawn from the compounds already named in this way in the primary scientific literature. 

The optimum formulation of the scan is the value of the variable that corresponds to the center of the three-phase behavior range as indicated in Hg. 12. If the three-phase range is quite sfffead, an additional measurement could be required to pinpoint the optimum formulation, such as the solubilization or interfacial tension, as will be discussed later. 

The interfacial tension undergoes a minimum, often a very deep one, e.g., with ultralow values (0.001 nM/m or less) at optimum formulation SAD = 0. In the three-phase region, diere are two interfacial tensions involving a surfactant-rich phase, one between the microemulsion and the oil phase, and the other between the microemulsion and the water phase. At low surfactant concentration, or when no microemulsion can be formed, no three-phase behavior is observed at optimum formulation and the minimum interfacial tension is a good alternative to pinpoint SAD = 0 oc-... 

The origin of the effect of solvent polarity on this reaction is difficult to pinpoint because the reaction would not be expected to accumulate charge in the transition state. However, several studies suggest that the nucleophUicity of the solvent controls the rate. Bergman studied the kinetic behavior of the reaction in Equation 9.19 in substituted tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvents. This insertion reaction occurs by two competing mechanisms the normal two-step process shown in Scheme 9.1 and a one-step process by which the added PMePh directly attacks the starting complex. Moreover, the rate constants, k, for the formation of M[C(0)R] from M(CO)R in THF and its methyl-substituted derivatives decrease in the order THF 3-methyl THF > 2-methyl THF > 2,5-dimethyl THF. The observed variations are consistent with the relative nucleophilicities of these solvents. The change in between THF and 2,5-dimethyl THF is a factor of 33. 

Select specific behaviors to observe as derived from the Critical Behavior Inventory. The strategy for this step is to pinpoint safe practices (McSween, 1995, p. 106). These behaviors should be very clear and specific so that everyone trained in the observation process can agree on the safe way to perform a task. If the organization has developed a critical behavior inventory, and established operational definitions as part of the inventory, then critical safe practices have already been identified.
