Choice, personal

This student came up with four main branches of ideas—discipline, reading choices, personal philosophy, and strength in dealing with difficult issues. The map shows how one idea led to another and how ideas are related to one another. That s an advantage of this technique You can see immediately where your ideas lie. Clearly, this student has much to say about discipline as it related to his teacher s influence on him.

Equation XVII-127 connects the functions 0(F, T), d(Q,P, T) and f Q) and, in principle, if any two are known or can be assumed, the remaining one can be calculated. As may be imagined, many choices of such pairs of functions have been examined, often designed so that Eq. XVII-127 can be handled analytically alternatively, various schemes of successive approximations may be used. The field has become somewhat of a happy hunting ground for physical chemists and there are numerous reviews of the now-extensive literature (see Refs. 144-147 the last is a personalized account). For this reason only some generic approaches will be discussed here. 

Many of the topics covered in analytical chemistry benefit from the availability of appropriate computer software. In preparing this text, however, I made a conscious decision to avoid a presentation tied to a single computer platform or software package. Students and faculty are increasingly experienced in the use of computers, spreadsheets, and data analysis software their use is, I think, best left to the personal choice of each student and instructor. 

Selection of pump for a given appHcation is not a trivial task. Often more than one pump type can accomplish the required job. Thus a final choice on a pump type is often a result of personal experience and usage history. As a rule of thumb, the choice of a kinetic, such as centrifugal, or a positive displacement pump is made on the basis of the specific speed. Whereas specific speed is appHcable primarily for centrifugal but not positive displacement pumps, the US value can be used as a guide. Generally, for calculated values of specific speed, eg, nS > 10 [NS > 500), kinetic-type pumps are usually selected. For nS < 10 [NS < 500), positive displacement pumps are typically appHed. 

Sohd tantalum capacitors have a high volumetric capacitance which makes them attractive for use in miniaturized electronic systems like cellular telephones, hand-held video cameras, and personal computers. The insensitivity of their capacitance to temperature and their abiUty to operate at temperature extremes explains why these devices are used in such harsh environments as automobile engine compartments. Sohd tantalum capacitors are extremely rehable and, therefore, are often the capacitor of choice in critical appHcations like spacecraft electronics, pacemakers, and safety equipment. 

Other problems concerning transportation systems, waste processing and recycling systems, nahonal priorities, international economics, employment versus environmental quality, and personal freedoms will continue to surface. The choices will have to be made, ideally by educated citizens and charismatic leaders. 

Guidance on the choice of respiratory protection for selected environments is given in Figure 13.6. All persons liable to use such protection should be fully trained this should cover details of hazards, limitations of apparatus, inspection, proper fitting of facepiece, testing, cleaning etc. 

The basic assumption is that the individual always has the choice of whether or not to behave in an unsafe manner. The implication of this assumption is that the responsibility for accident prevention ultimately rests with the individual worker. It also implies that as long as management has expended reasonable efforts to persuade an individual to behave responsibly, has provided training in safe methods of work, and has provided appropriate guarding of hazards or personal protection equipment, then it has discharged its responsibilities for accident prevention. If these remedies fail, the only recourse is disciplinary action and ultimately dismissal. 

If a person has the choice of installing oil, gas, or electric systems to heat a house and believes that any one of the three would perform equally well, the system that is cheapest is the efficient choice. If, however, the individual compares heating with an oil furnace to heating with a wood-burning stove, monetary cost may not be the only consideration. 

Probably the ultimate factor behind the choice of location is the influence key personnel can bring to bear on the decision. Project success largely depends on people, especially those at the top. With limited options on the person and/or team to lead the project s implementation, their location preference could be final. 

CengageNOW s online self-assessment tools give you the choices and resources you need to study smarter. You can explore a variety of tutorials, exercises, and simulations (cross-referenced throughout the text by margin annotations) or take chapter-specific Pre-Tests and get a Personalized Study plan that directs you to specific interactive materials that can help you master areas where you need additional work. Access to CengageNOW for two semesters may be included with your new textbook, or can be purchased at www.ichapters.com using ISBN 0-495-39431-9. 

As was pointed out, refinement of ethoxysulfated alcohols is sometimes required to satisfy current standards for product quality, in particular 1,4-di-oxane content. Due to the particular characteristics and outstanding suitability of FAES for application in personal care detergent products, the commercially accepted content of 1,4-dioxane in FAES has been progressively reduced to meet the demand of higher safety margins for the end-users, without requiring any change in product formulation and choice of surfactant. 

A semiconductor microcircuit is a series of electrically intercoimected films that are laid down by chemical reactions. The successful growth and manipulation of these films depend heavily on proper design of the chemical reactors in which they are laid down, the choice of chemical reagents, separation and purification steps, and the design and operation of sophisticated control systems. Microelectronics based on microcircuits are commonly used in such consumer items as calculators, digital watches, personal computers, and microwave ovens and in information processing units that are used in communication, defense, space exploration, medicine, and education.

In line with the policy of Advances to provide periodic coverage of major developments in physical methodology for the study of carbohydrates, A. Dell (London) here surveys the use of fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry in application to carbohydrates. This technique has achieved rapid prominence as the soft ionization technique of choice for structural investigation of complex carbohydrate sequences in biological samples. The author s extensive personal involvement in this field makes her chapter a critical, state-of-the-art overview for the specialist, as well as a valuable primer for the reader unfamiliar with this technique.
