Like many other American pioneers in polymer science, the inventor of America s first S3mthetic elastomer was bom in the midwest. However, unlike the typical chemist, he was not inspired by some dedicated chemistiy teacher and was actually a medical doctor and not a chemist. 

Joseph Cecil Patrick was bom on August 28, 1892 in Jefferson County, MO. In spite of the lack of adequate finances, he was determined to become a physician. He worked as a claim adjuster for Kansas City Electric Car System while attending classes at Hahnemann Medical School. However, he left, before completing his studies in

Some of these measures are part of larger, semistructured interviews administered by the therapist. The most commonly used assessments in this category are a family of instruments developed mainly in the Veterans Administration (VA) hospital system. The first instrument in this family is known as the Addiction Severity Index (ASI McLellan et al., 1985). The ASI assesses for a wide variety of biographical data, so it has the advantage of potentially being used as part of an intake interview. The ASI asks about consequences in a wide variety of life domains, and determines recent and lifetime patterns of drug and alcohol use. The ASI also detects recent and lifetime occurrence of problems in these different life domains (e.g., work). Each domain can be scored for the severity of the problems based upon the responses of the client and the clinical judgment of the interviewer. The ASI can be administered by computer to provide for rapid interpretation of answers. 

Much of this biographical data has been drawn from Gough-Cooper and Caumont, Plan and Ephemerides see also Sawelson-Gorse, Silent Guard Tomkins, Duchamp.

In regards to these needs, the HELENA Web-based problem-specific database application was extended with modules for storing biographical data of interviewees, question and answers of interviewees, and special reports for cross-country comparison of results. 

Biographical data for this section were mainly taken from the book [98]. 

Host factors dealing with the person involved and including biographical data such as age, practice, and marital status. 

Likewise, the test and biographical data of groups were examined that differed in respect to their liability to accidents.

The final 15 predictors of the construct sample multiple regression equation resulted in a multiple R = 0.59 which subsequently shrank to an R = 0.47 upon cross-validation. None of the simulator event variables had even marginal significance and were excluded, therefore, from the final regression equation. The concurrent prediction equation correctly classified 68.9% of the accident-free drivers and 71.2% of the accident repeaters. This was approximately 20% better than chance prediction. Because of the contrasted criterion group design, however, these validities were overestimates of what would be attained on a normal population of drivers. Results on biographical data and psychomotor functions are listed in Tab 5.15.

The answer sheets for the multiple-choice questions are machine scored. For proper scoring, the answer spaces should be blackened completely using only the mechanical pencil provided to you. If you decide to change an answer, you must erase the first answer completely. Incomplete erasures and stray marks may be read as intended answers. One side of the answer sheet is used to collect identification and biographical data that may be used to analyze the performance of the examination. 

The biographical data has no impact on the exam results. Proctors will guide you through the process of completing this portion of the answer sheet prior to taking the examination. This process will take approximately 15 minutes.
