Control pursuit

The pursuit of further miniaturization of electronic circuits has made submicrometer resolution Hthography a cmcial element in future computer engineering. LB films have long been considered potential candidates for resist appHcations, because conventional spin-coated photoresist materials have large pinhole densities and variations of thickness. In contrast, LB films are two-dimensional, layered, crystalline soHds that provide high control of film thickness and are impermeable to plasma down to a thickness of 40 nm (46). The electron beam polymerization of CO-tricosenoic acid monolayers has been mentioned. Another monomeric amphiphile used in an attempt to develop electron-beam-resist materials is a-octadecylacryUc acid (8). 

We have only to look at the introductory clauses of ISO 9001 to find that the aim of the requirements is to achieve customer satisfaction by prevention of nonconformities. Hence quality management is a means for planning, organizing, and controlling the prevention of failure. All the tools and techniques that are used in quality management serve to improve our ability to succeed in our pursuit of excellence. 

There is an abundance of references defining and describing the role played by QA, Quality Control (QC) and Total Quality Management (TQM) in a modem commercial analytical laboratory. The role played by reference materials (RMs) and certified reference materials (CRMs) in the pursuit of analytical measurement accuracy is also well documented. 

The first copper(I) complex of tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine ((760) tetrahedral) has been reported by Samuelson and co-workers. This group addressed the question of anion-controlled nuclearity and metal-metal distances in copper(I)-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane complexes, and in this endeavor they reported the structures of complexes (761) (Cu-Cu separation 3.005-3.128 A), (762) (Cu-Cu separation 3.165 A) and (763) (tetrahedral Cu-Cu 3.293 A). 6 They synthesized and provided structural evidence of oxy anion- encapsulated copper(I) complexes of this ligand. The complexes (764) (distorted tetrahedral Cu-Cu 3.143 A), (765) (distorted tetrahedral Cu-Cu 3.424A), (766) (distorted trigonal Cu-Cu 3.170A), and (767) (Cu-Cu 3.032-3.077A) were reported. They studied solid-state emission spectra of these complexes.567 During this pursuit they... 

The inherent safety is the pursuit of designing hazards out of a process, as opposed to using engineering or procedural controls to mitigate risk. Therefore inherent safety strives to avoid and remove hazards rather than to control them by added-on systems. The inherent safety is best considered in the initial stages of design, when the choice of process route and concept is made. 

There had been no controlled studies of this combination of drugs in a standardized driving environment. Fortunately, the high-speed chase course, used to train California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers in hot pursuit skills, was an ideal setting and was available for the experiment.

When we define self-interest as the pursuit of safety, control, advancement, approval, and territory for its own sake, the bureaucratic way of operating Is almost inevitable. Negative politics is created when I feel the orgsmlzatlon in some way owns me. . . offers little autonomy. . . ... 

Other forms of behavior have been shown to be similar to the classical addictions. Some people seem unable to control their use of credit cards or, more generally, to control their impulse to obtain goods in a pattern that is detrimental to their economy and, often, their social life. Others seem to be sexually insatiable or at least unable to abstain from the pursuit of new and ever more frequent sexual encounters. These types of behavior are often named manias, obviously to illustrate a state of mind characterized by impoverished self-insight and self-control. The common phenomenological feature of these cases—pathological gambling, eating... 

Consequently Russia seems to continue harbouring its ambition to control natural gas exports from Central Asia and Azerbaijan. This pursuit is partially supported by the lack of competition and the absence of appropriate activities by western companies [19]. President Putin s policy to establish closer relations with Central Asia and South Caucasian neighbours may play an important role as well in the future.
