Examinations strategy

In this chapter, we will examine strategies for producing antibiotics. We have had to be selective and have chosen to confine discussion largely to the -lactams, with particular emphasis on the diversification of the primary antibiotics using biotransformation. We have adopted this strategy in order to produce a manageable study, while enabling us to explain the main principles involved. 

Dan Resasco (with colleagues Phuong Do, Steven Crossley, Malee Santikuna-porn University of Oklahoma) examine strategies for improving important fuel properties catalytically—e.g., cetane number and threshold soot index. They show that proper choice of catalysts and reaction conditions can significantly improve these widely used measures of fuel performance. 

When conducting a clinical study such as that of reproductive function, we work with a physician specialist, in this case a urologist, to design the study. This involves developing a medical history questionnaire and physical examination strategy. The physician will perform the examinations and assist with the interpretation of the study findings. 

In the course of examining strategies for creating the C-14 chiral center in Scheme 6, we had tried to obtain the bromohydrin of alkene 32b by reaction with N-bromosuccinimide in an aqueous medium. Instead, the product was the... 

A few semiconductors have come close to meet most of these criteria, but none has met all. It seems that strategies that go beyond compositional variation are warranted. This chapter examines strategies for nanostructuring semiconductors as well as applying plasmonic effects to enhance device efficiency. 

Second-look arthroscopy is one of the most reliable examination strategies after knee surgery. After ACL reconstruction, second-look arthroscopy is useful in providing valuable prognostic information on the graft, such as synovial coverage. 

Before we examine strategy, however, let us see a more detailed classification of each of the four categories for ranking Supply Chain Management proficiency. This detail is behind some of the categories found in Chart 2.7, and it will help you identify your true ranking. 

The construction industry is still learning how to apply CDM efficiently and effectively. This book contributes to this learning process by examining strategies for decision taking which can be applied to refurbishment works. The framework set out in the book should assist all those involved in refurbishment projects to understand their role under CDM and how to discharge it effectively. 

At the start of the development, it had been intended use an expert system shell to implement this tool, however, after careful consideration, it was concluded that this was not the optimum strategy. An examination procedure can be considered as consisting of two parts fixed documentary information and variable parameters. For the fixed documentary information, a hypertext-like browser can be incorporated to provide point-and-click navigation through the standard. For the variable parameters, such as probe scanning paths, the decisions involved are too complex to be easily specified in a set of rules. Therefore a software module was developed to perfonn calculations on 3D geometric models, created fi om templates scaled by the user. 

The economics of the various methods that are employed to sequence multicomponent columns have been studied. For example, the separation of three-, four-, and five-component mixtures has been considered (44) where the heuristics (rules of thumb) developed by earlier investigators were examined and an economic analysis of various methods of sequencing the columns was made. The study of sequencing of multicomponent columns is part of a broader field, process synthesis, which attempts to formalize and develop strategies for the optimum overall process (45) (see Separation systems synthesis). 

Examination of the influence of agriculture on phosphorus input to freshwater requires careful study to determine the most appropriate control strategies. The influence will vary in relation to whether the phosphorus is dissolved or particulate. Also, we know that variation in the input of particulate and dissolved... 

Signal-flow graphs are particularly useful in two respects. First, they make the process designer examine in considerable detail the dynamic structure and fimctioning of the process. Second, the nature of the interface between person and machine can be seen more clearly. The variables that are displayed in a system are, of course, available for study, but workers frequently respond to derivative functions of variables or "hidden" variables that must be deduced. Given that the process variables to be displayed will influence the worker s control strategy and that the number of deductions to be made will affect the mental workload involved, a process designer can select the type and amoimt of process information which will enhance performance of the task.
