Development needs objectives

Supporting individuals in discovering and defining their own development needs and setting their own objectives fostering independent learners. 

Throughout the first session, you might want to make notes of fhe development needs and goals put forward by fhe menfee. If fhere is fo be a formalized personal developmenf plan, fhese can help fo specify goals and objectives. 

Examining the development needs and objectives of the mentee target group, will guide you when specifying the mentor selection criteria, at the very least in terms of the skills, knowledge and experience prospective mentors must possess. 

Why do you want to join this program - Please be quite specific detailing your development needs and the objectives you are hoping to attain. 

Why do you think mentoring can help you to achieve these objectives/meet your development needs ... 

Development of proportional counters to measure C14/C12 ratios in 10 mg carbon samples was undertaken in the Chemistry Department of Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1975 [10] for two reasons (1) at the time, there was no other possibility in sight to accomplish the generally much-needed objective of small-sample C14 measurement, and (2) there was a particular carbon 14 dating problem at the Smithsonian Institution, which would only be solved if very small carbon samples could be handled. The development and testing of the counters has already been reported [9] in the present paper we discuss the application of those counters to the actual dating problem which concerned the Smithsonian Institution, the dating of the "Frobisher iron bloom". 

Any pharmaceutical company s economic objective must be to maximise its ROI after launch. Therefore, the commercial viability of a new product to be developed needs to be commercially assessed at the product design stage to satisfy the company that it will achieve a satisfactory ROI. Some of the factors that should be considered in the evaluation are as follows ... 

However well informed a design process may be, ultimately the developers need in the course of designing the user interface to make assumptions about the users workflow, their environment and objectives. Those assumptions may turn out to be valid or invalid and it is the process of usability testing which puts that to the test. Unlike inspection and inquiry, formal usability testing examines the product itself or at least a mature prototype. It is therefore usually undertaken later in the product lifecycle but of course not so late that modifications are impractical or costly. 

Decontamination is defined as the process of removing or neutralizing a hazard from the environment, property, or life form. The principal objectives of this process are to prevent further harm and optimize the chance for full clinical recovery or restoration of the object exposed to Ae dangerous hazard. The triage process is the initial step taken to meet the primary objectives of a disaster response, which involves sorting the injured by priority and determining the best utilization of available resources (e.g., personnel, equipment, medications, ambulances, and hospital beds). This chapter includes a review of decontamination and mass triage with an emphasis on the research and development needs in these areas of disaster response. 

These alternatives are attractive they certainly seem fair. One argument against them is that the amount of pollution available annually or to any one developer need not be limited. After all, the problem is compliance with the NAAQS and we need not care how compliance is achieved, or when. If we find that the quota is used up quickly in six months or a year rather than stretched out over three or four, that arguably does not make any difference to air pollution control since our objective after all is NAAQS attainment and maintenance. 

When developing the objectives for the safety performance program established, the data needs should be identified. Data concerns that should addressed early involve determining if the data needed for the performance measures exist and if so, is the data reliable and readily available. Also, in order to measure a safety performance objective effectively, more than one measure maybe needed. It is best to use avariety of measures to ascertain performance rather than just one. Multiple measures provide a better picture of the true status of the safety performance. 

Objectives need to be understood by all employees. When developing your objectives you must use clear, understandable language that leaves no doubt about what employees are supposed to do. For example Investigate incidents to determine multiple causation (root cause). This will be unclear to almost everyone. A better example could be Investigate incidents to determine all causes, and take corrective action in 24 hours of the incident. This objective is much clearer, more understandable, and more specific. 

To support the preparation of this and the previous report [2], an IAEA technical meeting Innovative small and medium sized reactors design features, safety approaches and R D trends was held on 7-11 June 2004 in Vienna, and its final report was published as IAEA-TECDOC-1451 in May 2005 [1]. That TECDOC presented a variety of innovative water cooled, gas cooled, liquid metal cooled and non-conventional SMR designs developed worldwide and examined the technology and infrastructure development needs that are common to several concepts or lines of such reactors. It also introduced the definition of small reactors without on-site refuelling, which is referred to in this report. Both, the technical meeting and the report [1] provided recommendations on the objectives, structure, scope and content of this report and the report [2]. 

In this chapter the scene is set. It is supposed that chemical synthesis and kinetic experiments are followed by chemical reactor development. The objectives of chemical reactor development have to be put in the context of chemical industry. The ultimate goal is either the design of a new industrial reactor or the optimisation of an existing one. When all the details of a chemical reaction are known, additional information on physical transport phenomena is needed for the design of a chemical reactor. Also, the chemical reactor has to be considered as part of an industrial plant. This chapter gives a qualitative overview of the topics that are treated in the following chapters.
