Short of resorting to computerized evaluation, the chemist or engineer may want to stay with more pedestrian long-hand numerical methods that are perfectly adequate for the immediate purpose of obtaining approximate orders and coefficients in power-law equations that serve only as temporary expedients. In essence, these methods are the numerical equivalents of the plots that were shown earlier in Table 3.1. Two detailed examples will illustrate typical work-up, including error recognition and relative reliability of experimental data. 

To emphasize error recognition, the conditions and data of this example have been altered. 

Long-hand numerical work-up, error recognition, and reliability is illustrated with two examples thermal decomposition of hexaphenylethane and an accelerated decomposition test of an herbicide. 

A wholly owned subsidiary called Medical Error Recognition and Revision Strategies (Med-E.R.R.S. ) which works confidentially with pharmaceutical companies to predict error potential and thereby avoid problems that might stem from proposed drug names, labels, and packaging. 

The division of the tips into three topics does not follow hard and fast rules, for the line between error recognition and optimization is not sharp. Each tip is a complete discussion of a case, and the reader can easily jump between the various blocks. Some important facts are discussed in several paragraphs. In the text, additional cross references are given to further tips with related topics. Therefore, all the tips are numbered. 

It is now recognized that many errors in routine interactive behaviour are not the product of some stochastic process, and that causal explanations of human error can be developed [1]. However, little is known about what factors influence an individual s ability to recognize errors. Recognition that an error has been made is a prerequisite for error recovery. The focus of this paper is on this recognition process rather than the error recovery process as a whole.
