Earning machine

George earned the prestigious position of brakesman at the Dolly Pit colliery, responsible for the engine used for hauling coal out of the mines. He was married in 1802. During that year he made an unsuccessful attempt to build a perpetual motion machine. But he did gain respect in the community as an accomplished clock-mender. 

One of Fritz Haber s friends, while congratulating him on his appointment to a professor s chair, suggested that he take it easy for a bit he d earned the right to rest on his laurels. Haber thanked him for the advice, but confessed that he probably couldn t follow it He d become like a machine that, once kicked into action, always ran at its accustomed pace. 

In the conventional scouring machine (Fig. 5-17), raw wool is propelled through a tank filled with warm water containing detergent, raked through the bowl, conveyed by means of a transfer mechanism to squeezing rollers and then earned into another similar tank. The bowls have false bottoms consisting of perforated plates... 

Dr. Fingas earned his doctorate in environmental sciences from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. He also holds master s degrees in science and business administration from the University of Ottawa in Ontario, as well as a bachelor of arts degree and technical training in machining and electronics. 

Standard test methods for flexural properties are listed in Table 12.5. They may be earned out in tensile or compression test machines. Three-... 

The flexural strength by means of three points bending testing is conducted according to ASTM D790-86 standard. Samples are eut to dimensions of 130 mm X 13 mm X 3 mm (length x width x thickness). The flexural test is earned out by using a Universal Test Machine (Model 5525, Instron Corporation, Norwood, Massaehusetts, USA) at a cross-head speed of 3.1 mm/min. The values obtained represented the mean of five specimen measurements. 

Because of the imcertainty of the operating data about times and costs, the cost fimction is not always determinable. Then it is proposed to determine complementary fimction P t) (2) defining the total profit earned by the machine in a unit time if the machine is scrapped at age t. The profit is calculated on the basis of the reliable actual machine operating hours by age t. 

I f the repair time and the standby time arc unknown, one can use the economic fimction component describing the acmal work performed by a machine by moment t. Total machine operating time Tp (t) by moment t allows one to estimate the real income earned from the operation of the machine at age t. 

The income earned in a machine operation unit time (Zj) can be evaluated on the basis of, for example, the rate charged for renting the machine. 

In case of hmited data on repair times and standby times, one can determine complementary objective function P(f) which specifies the total profit earned by a machine in a unit time. 

First we shall consider reactions for traditional chemical synthesis of peptides and then we look at reactions used in automated solid-phase peptide synthesis. The method for solid-phase peptide synthesis was invented by R. B. Merrifield (Rockefeller University), for which he earned the 1984 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Solid-phase p>eptide synthesis reactions are so reliable that they have been incorporated into machines called peptide synthesizers (Section 24.7D). 

Heparin has been used in medicine and surgery for nearly 40 years and in this time has maintained a well-earned reputation as an effective and safe drug [1]. I may claim a share in this as I was a member of the research team at the University of Toronto which developed heparin for clinical use. The major clinical uses of heparin are for the prevention of thrombosis and the prevention of clotting of blood. Thrombosis is the complex plugging of blood vessels which can occur in veins after operation and child-birth and can occur in arteries as the result of diet, age and stress. Clotting of blood is a serious problem in the use of heart-lung machines, artificial kidneys, etc. and the prevention of this by heparin is most important. My presentation reviews points about this drug which indicates its actions are due to its polyelectrolyte nature. 

I In 1846 in Boston, inventor Richard M. Hoe redesigned a lithographic flatbed press by putting the plates onto a rotary drum. The new machine could print six times faster, earning it the nickname the lightning press. ... 

Individuals are also not entirely logical in the way in which they make decisions. The value assigned to particular outcomes, such as amount of effort saved, money earned, approval obtained or withheld by colleagues and superiors, etc. is a subjective one. It will be influenced by the personality of the individual making the decision, and by experience of the way in which previous decisions have turned out. Small probabilities are consistently poorly assessed and people rely upon such illogical factors as luck, which they believe they can influence, rather than accepting that some things such as roulette wheels or dice are entirely random machines.
