Education defined

Concept boxes and links Educators define concepts as "perceived regularities in events or objects." In our biochemical maps, concepts include abstractions (for example, free energy), processes (for example, oxidative phosphorylation), and compounds (for example, glucose 6-phosphate). These broadly defined concepts are prioritized with the central idea positioned at the top of the page. The concepts that follow from this central idea are then drawn in boxes (Figure 1.13A). The size of the box and type indicate the relative importance of each idea. Lines are drawn between concept boxes to show which are related. The label on... 

It will be apparent from the discussions in the previous sections that an absolute value of reliability is at best an educated guess. However, the risk of failure determined is a quantitative measure in terms of safety and reliability by which various parts can be defined and compared (Freudenthal et al., 1966). In developing a reliable product, a number of design schemes should be generated to explore each for their... 

David Turnbull, in his illuminating Commentary on the Emergence and Evolution of Materials Science (Turnbull 1983), defined materials science broadly as the characterisation, understanding, and control of the structure of matter at the ultramolecular level and the relating of this structure to properties (mechanical, magnetic, electrical, etc.). That is, it is Ultramolecular Science . In professional and educational practice, however, he says that materials science focuses on the more complex features of behaviour, and especially those aspects controlled by crystal... 

When the incidence of occupational diseases was compared with the frequency of OEL violations in Finland, a rather good correlation was observed. This indicates that these OELs are reasonably well defined. This is also natural because they are based on long-term exposure history of a large number of people. However, the OELs for many chemicals are still only educated guesses, and numerous and often large changes have been made when the OEL lists have been revised. In addition, most chemicals still have no OEL. Only about 2000 chemicals have an OEL in some country. ... 

In this context an advanced education means an academic education beyond secondary education. The term professional is defined as... 

Silver was critical of the lack of use by plutonium chemists of a-coefficients. Assuming that Silver was referring to a-coeffi-cients defined as the fraction of the total concentration of a substance that exists as a particular species, he was wrong to say that plutonium chemists have not used them. Phil Horwitz at ANL has used them. Publications from ORNL have reported them to easily show relative concentrations of plutonium species, and L. M. Toth used such a-coefficients as percent of Pu(IV) polymer in his symposium talk Tuesday. Alpha coefficients are a commonly used, simple concept - certainly since Ringbom s article in the Journal of Chemical Education in 1958."...

Fig. 32.8. CFA biplot computed from the data in Table 32.10. Circles represent years and squares identify the four educational categories. The centre of the plot is represented by a small cross. The coordinates of the years and the categories are contained in Tables 32.11 and 32.12. Factor scaling coefficients were defined as a = P = 1.

The treatment staff must be aware of countertransference issues, and anticipate relapses and failures. For both patient and staff, it helps to define and accept limited goals. Appropriate security measures are necessary, so that staff can feel safe also, staff need to be educated about not taking unnecessary risks in handling these patients. Staff frustration has to be recognized and managed. 

Insulin resistance has been associated with a number of other cardiovascular risks, including abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypercoagulation, and hyperinsulinemia. The clustering of these risk factors has been termed metabolic syndrome. It is estimated that 50% of the United States population older than 60 years of age have metabolic syndrome. The most widely used criteria to define metabolic syndrome were established by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines (summarized in Table 40-2). 

After Machetanz became ill and left Tarkio, the two spent years scrambling for enough time and money to meet again. They seldom managed it, but they corresponded until Carothers death. In more than 100 letters to Machetanz, Carothers described his hardscrabble struggles to continue his education, an ordeal that helped define the freethinking, driven man that he became.
