Bugs

I considered my role mainly to try to help my colleagnes while jealonsly safegnarding most of my time for research and scholarship. I proceeded in the same way in Cleveland and later in Los Angeles, when starting the Hydrocarbon Research Institute at USC. 1 have been fortunate never to have been bitten by the bug that makes many people feel important by exercising administrative power. ... 

A somewhat similar problem arises in describing the viscosity of a suspension of spherical particles. This problem was analyzed by Einstein in 1906, with some corrections appearing in 1911. As we did with Stokes law, we shall only present qualitative arguments which give plausibility to the final form. The fact that it took Einstein 5 years to work out the bugs in this theory is an indication of the complexity of the formal analysis. Derivations of both the Stokes and Einstein equations which do not require vector calculus have been presented by Lauffer [Ref. 3]. The latter derivations are at about the same level of difficulty as most of the mathematics in this book. We shall only hint at the direction of Lauffer s derivation, however, since our interest in rigid spheres is marginal, at best.

Carmine [1390-65-4] is the trade name for the aluminum lake of the red anthraquinone dye carminic acid obtained from the cochineal bug. The dye is obtained from the powdery form of cochineal by extraction with hot water, the extracts treated with aluminum salts, and the dye precipitated from the solution by the addition of ethanol. This water-soluble bright red dye is used for coloring shrimp, pork sausages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is the only animal-derived dye approved as a colorant for foods and other products. 

The potential that the logic within the interlock could contain a defect or bug is a strong incentive to keep it simple. Within process plants, most interlocks are implemented with discrete logic, which means either hard-wired elec tromechauical devices or programmable logic controllers. 

CRT Cell residence time - the amount of time in days that an average "bug" remains in the process. Also termed "sludge age". 

While you may not rely entirely on these tools to accept product, the periodic calibration or verification of these tools may help prevent unnecessary costs and production delays. While usage and environment may assist in determining the frequency of verification hardware checks, these factors do not affect software. Any bugs in software have always been there or were introduced when it was last modified. Software therefore needs to be checked prior to use and after any modifications have been carried out, so you cannot predetermine the interval of such checks. 

Effective inlet air filtration is required to ensure satisfactory operation of the engine. The location of the unit determines the most appropriate filter system to use. Desert environments where a large amount of sand particles could be expected in the ambient air may use an automatic roll type of filter that allows new filter material to be rolled in front of the inlet without frequent shut-downs to change filters. Arctic or extremely cold locations may use pad type filters, snow hoods to prevent blockage, and exhaust recirculation to prevent icing. Filter assemblies for offshore marine environments may include weather louvers, demister pads, and barrier elements for salt and dirt removal. Screens may be u.sed for insect removal prior to filtration in areas with bug problems. 

Improve imrnediate-term opportunities to cross-fertilize good practices. Pilot tests highlight good ideas and practices as well as bugs and problems. Once you ve put plans into action, you may identify certain procedures or practices that can be replicated elsewhere—right away. 

This would affect every business that was linked to a computer juid the commotion and hysteria tliat surrounded the Y2K bug were due to the present age s dependence on computers. For c.xamplc, it was feared that the go eminent s computer system would print social security checks with amounts seen in the year 1900 and that banks would calculate dividends based on interest rates from the year 1900. The problems could have been catastrophic. Fortunately, tlie response to the "potential Y2K disaster was effective in that most corrections or patches were made before the year 2000. However, these corrections were costly and required large amounts of money to be spent." ...
