Communication acknowledgments

Build trust (through communication, acknowledgement, recognition, respectful behavior, listening to different points of view, and so on). 

The work described in this paper was undertaken as part of a project funded by the European Community under the Industrial and Materials technologies Programme (Brite/EuRam III). The contributions of other partners in the project, AIB-Vinfotte asbl, Tecnatom SA and SLV Mifrichen GmbH) is gratefully acknowledged. 

The authors gratefully acknowledge the communication of many technical details and useful information by Dr. M. Akhtar, University of Southampton, England. 

The report says that when communicating by radio, no action should be taken until the message has been acknowledged, but this is nowhere near sufficient. Power should not have been restored until the crews working on both units had signed off written per-mits-to-work. Verbal communication alone is never adequate. 

If you decide on a formal presentation, consider having the full PSM team participate. Similarly, written communications concerning the plan (if, for example, it is broadly distributed for comment) should originate with the team. This will not only acknowledge their contribution but will also tangibly demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the challenge you have undertaken. 

Points to Consider Regardless of how well you communicate risk information some people will not be satisfied. Never let your efforts to inform people about risks prevent you from acknowledging and saying tJiat any illness, injury, or deatJi is a tragedy. And finally, if people are sufficiently motivated, tJiey are quite capable of understan ng comple.v risk information, even if tliey may not agree witJi you.

Much of the material presented in this book is based on the direct experience of the authors. This would not have been possible without the hard work and input of our colleagues, students and post-doctoral fellows. We sincerely want to acknowledge each of them for their good research and contributions without which we would not have been able to treat such a broad range of subjects. Some of them read chapters or helped in other ways. We also owe thanks to the chemometrics community and at the same time we have to offer apologies. We have had the opportunity of collaborating with many colleagues and we have profited from the research and publications of many others. Their ideas and work have made this book possible and necessary. The size of the book shows that they have been very productive. Even so, we have cited only a fraction of the literature and we have not included the more sophisticated work. Our wish was to consolidate and therefore to explain those methods that have become more or less accepted, also to... 

The chapter is a compilation of a great deal of work in this area by the four authors and a large number of graduate students who have contributed over a period of more than 15 years, as well as the many contributions of a large technical community. We recognize and gratefully acknowledge these contributions, without which this chapter would not have been possible. We also specifically thank David Miller, a postdoctoral student at The Ohio State University, for his detailed review, and Lynda Mackey for her editorial assistance. 

Within the medical community it has been acknowledged that elderly patients often respond to drug therapy differently from their younger counterparts. Aside from alteration of various pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes, elderly patients tend to suffer from a number of chronic conditions and, thus, have more complex dosage regimens. Additionally, a variety of physical limitations prevalent among the elderly may hinder their ability to self-administer medication. 

There seems to be considerable reluctance in some parts of the medical community to acknowledge the benefits of exercise in the treatment of depression. One meta-analysis of clinical trials showed that physical exercise was as effective as psychotherapy or antidepressant medication and much better than no treatment. But the authors concluded that the effectiveness of exercise in reducing symptoms of depression cannot be determined ,45 and the editors of the journal introduced the article with an editorial comment entitled effectiveness of exercise in managing depression is not shown by meta-analysis .46 Why not Because there were flaws in the way many of the studies had been designed. To be fair, there were indeed shortcomings in the studies, but these shortcomings also characterize clinical trials of antidepressants.47 If clinical trials like these do not establish the effectiveness of physical exercise as a treatment for depression, neither do they establish the effectiveness of antidepressants.
