Everyday Routines

Standing orders authorized ordinary and extraordinary members to participate in discussions of the general assembly and to make proposals. These 

Postcard sent by K. Hazura, the first secretary of the Association of Austrian Chemists, to the Czech chemist Bohuslav Brauner from Vienna on May 30, 1900. The card contains current data on the Association. Brauner helped the American chemist Bolton to collect information on European chemical societies for Bolton s brochure Chemical Societies of the Nineteenth Century (Washington, 1902). The card is kept in the Museum of Czech Literature in Prague, Collection B. Brauner, Correspondence. The picture was given to the author by S. Strbanova. 

In October 1897 a general assembly established seven commissions to treat certain fields a board for general questions, an employment agency, an economic commission, a patents commission, a commission for professional ranking, a lecture commission and an education commission. But these permanent commissions were dissolved in 1899 and replaced by commissions that were established when needed. 

In 1906 a committee relating to trade policy was elected. It had to inform the plenary assembly about questions of tax laws and customs policy. In 1907 a committee was installed to formulate a draft agreement for chemists working in the private industry. At that time chemists were usually working without a contract, which was unfavourable on the termination of employment and in case of the utilization of inventions made during employment. In 1909 this committee published a proposal for an employment contract and in 1910 this proposal was complemented by the general assembly. This model contract was not obligatory but was used in many cases as a basis for employment. In 1914 a commission for the advancement of the chemical industry in war time was established.

Everyday means ordinary or usual. Soon we were back to our everyday routine. Every day means each day. 1 walk my dog Johnson every day. 

One of the most remarkable reports in the ECT literature was published by Warren (1988), who studied 10 women post-ECT, including their family relationships. Many of the women thought that the purpose of the treatment was to erase their memory. While some felt it was helpful to forget painful memories, they uniformly disliked the loss of everyday memory, as well as associated effects such as losing one s train of thought, incoherent speech, or slowness of affect. What specifically was forgotten varied from matters of everyday routine to the existence of one or more of one s children. Warren is not a physician and perhaps without knowing about the specific clinical syndrome, she described mild to moderate dementia caused by closed-head injury in the form of ECT. 

It is tempting to draw analogy with the development of other analytical technologies (NMR, FAB-MS) and conclude that protein crystallography will soon leave the incubator of "big machine physics" to become an everyday, routine tool used in the medicinal chemistry laboratory. Hopefully, this chapter has shown some of the subtle complexities of sample preparation and handling, data collection, and refinement, etc. that temper this vision and will likely keep this a specialized field for some time. 

There are two basic dimensions in the way the human brain copes with everyday routine these are known as crystalline and fluid intelligence (R. B. Catell, 1963). 

For chronic HBsAg carriers (s. p. 425), there are no comprehensive regulations to follow with respect to professional conduct, everyday routine and family life. Yet they must be well informed about their condition and should be fully aware of the danger they pose. Provided the respective hygiene measures are observed, restrictions in professional life are generally not necessary. 

The authors of this book have been able to respond to this analytical approach to different extents. In several national cases it is evident that the chemical societies chose more or less inclusive strategies - however, for different reasons. The inclusive strategy in the Scandinavian societies was primary based on the limited size of the scientific environments of the individual countries. More restrictive strategies might very well have hindered the survival of the small societies. In the French case, however, the open and inclusive attitude towards the industry was rooted in an expectation of an essential financial support therefore the boundary between the society and the applied sector in France should be looked at as a means of communication rather then as a barrier. This applies to many of the negotiated boundaries in several other societies, as does another fact mentioned in the French chapter, namely that the boundary-work was primarily done unreflectively as a result of everyday routines. The Dutch society undoubtedly chose the most inclusive strategy of all - a choice the society has maintained to the present and which has resulted in... 

The objective of this fourth edition is the same as that of the previous three editions the author addresses analytical chemists doing research work in this field, who wish to familiarize themselves with this method, as well as practitioners, who employ these techniques for everyday routine analysis and are looking for a reference book that can help facilitate method development and provide an overview on the existing applications. 

In the following we shall be concerned with the problem of the electronic structure of molecular systems containing N electrons and M nuclei. The validity of the usual Born-Oppenheimer, or clamped nuclei, approximation will be assumed, that is we shall investigate the distribution of electrons in the field of the fixed nuclei. In principle the approximate solution of the Schrddinger equation of all the electrons provides us with the different electronic states of the molecule, once the position of the nuclei and the number of electrons is given. Essentially this is the procedure followed in everyday routine calculations of ab initio quantum chemistry, where we do not take into account the a priori knowledge about the properties of the different fragments of the total composite system. 

In addition, a very intensive development of HPLC nearly arrested interest in basic development in QTLC, because the reproducibility of HPLC, particularly for routine analysis, was excellent, and manufacturers found HPLC equipment a good commercial proposition. The probable reason was that HPLC equipment is so sophisticated that improvisation is virtually ruled out. HPLC can be developed to the stage of push-button analysis, so it is also an excellent solution for everyday routine work. 

The application of hydrogen electrodes in the everyday routine of pH determination is not practical. Most often pH sensitive glass electrodes and Ag/AgCl references are used in the cell as shown in the following ... 

The threshold Torless has crossed may be described in two ways. Musil tells us (pp. 111-12) that he grows into a refined and sensitive young man, one of those who conform to social conventions in a slightly bored, ironic manner while reserving their real interest for those moments that seems to suggest another, spiritual reality apart from everyday routine. He has aesthetic rather than moral standards. He does not regret his participation in the torture of Basini it leaves behind the drop of poison which removes the banal health of his soul and makes it more refined and sensitive. 

Imagine a workplace where everyone coaches each other about the safest way to perform a job. A workplace in which actively caring for other people s safety is a natural part of the everyday routine. When people depend on each other in this way to improve safety, they understand teamwork. They have an interdependent mindset and realize the true meaning of S3mergy. For these individuals TEAM means Togetiier Everyone Achieves More.
