In economics, Gresham s law holds that when two types of currency circulate and one is intrinsically more valuable (say, gold instead of silver, despite an equivalent face value) people hoard the good money and make purchases with the bad. Soon only the bad money remains in circulation. Similarly, people with extreme views can drive moderates, who want to avoid the reputational devaluation of being mistaken as zealots, out of a conversation. In effect, the moderates "hoard" their opinions hence, the public discourse on some issues (perhaps abortion, for example) can be more polarized than is the actual distribution of public opinion.181...

Copies of standards issued by government agencies are available from several centers maintained by the government for the distribution of publications. Most libraries do not collect government specifications. Many of the major engineering societies issue specifications in areas related to tlieir functions. These specifications are usually developed, and revised, by membership committees. 

In other searches, using only one of the four MeSH terms (isofluorate, DFP, diisopropylphosphofluoridate, or diisopropylphosphoro-fluoridate), 3,085 results were found for those terms. Therefore, the PubMed database uses these four terms as synon3uns and the same references are foimd in any cases. They represent most, but not all, tire publications involving DFP. It should be noted that with the abbreviation of "DFP" some nonrelated publications are referred to (i.e., "bacterial DFP-flavoproteins"). Unfortunately, there is not an established tradition of indicating the CAS number for a unique reference of the chemicals in scientific publications, and standard chemical nomenclature is not always used. The statistics of the distribution of publications over time is shown in Figure 57.1. 

The Right of Public Distribution. The exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work also entails pubHc distribution of copies, by sale or other transfer of ownership. This right, too, is the copyright owner s. 

The existing models for emitting x-ray fluorescence intensity of elemental analytical lines from heterogeneous samples are limited in practical applications, because in most publications the relations between the fluorescence intensity of analytical lines elements and the properties of powder materials were not completely studied. For example, particles distribution of components within narrow layer of irradiator which emitted x-ray fluorescence intensity of elements might be in disagreement with particles distribution of components within whole sample.

The results of the above section show that the significant nonuniformity of the distribution of the filler particles in the thickness of sample is observed during injection moulding of the filled polymers. This nonuniformity must affect the electrical properties of CCM owing to the strong dependence of the CCM conductivity on the filler concentration. Although there are no direct comparisons of the concentration profiles and conductivity in the publications, there is data on the distribution of conductivity over the cross-section of the moulded samples.

Still, some members of the lay public are clearly skeptical of science and scientists, as indicated by the view of the profession presented on the cover of a national magazine in Figure 6.110 Although we may be assured that scientists as a group are no more deficient in morals than, say, cartoonists, it is important to understand the basis of public perceptions and to examine the practical implications for laboratory management. Industrial products are very widely distributed and many are used intimately. There are real consequences that can arise from a serious error in manufacture or design, as illustrated by the case of L-tryptophan. 

Societal Risk measures the potential for incidents to affect many people. It has historically been applied as a measure of risk to the general public exposed to the same event or events. Societal risk is often presented as a frequency distribution of multiple-casualty events, called an F-N curve, showing the frequency of events F) leading to N or more fatalities. 

In order to determine the optimal number of compartments, literature information on small intestinal transit times was utilized. A total of over 400 human small intestinal transit time data were collected and compiled from various publications, since the small intestinal transit time is independent of dosage form, gender, age, body weight, and the presence of food [70]. Descriptive statistics showed that the mean small intestinal transit time was 199 min with a standard deviation of 78 min and a 95% confidence interval of 7 min. The data set was then analyzed by arranging the data into 14 classes, each with a width of 40 min. Figure 9 shows the distribution of this data set. 

Statistics—We need better access to the data that are available from measurements. For example, annual production volumes are sometimes equal, or nearly so, to annual release rates on a nationwide basis. But concern for proprietary information has curtailed access to such data—in our opinion, out of proportion to the harm that might come to industry from public knowledge. Actual in-plant emission and effluent rates are obviously much more sensitive, but better summarization of distributions of such releases could be made for scientific use.
