First-hand experience

It is unfortunately true to say that the views which most people hold on explosives stem either from first-hand experience of the effects of explosives used during times of war, or from reports of these effects. For military purposes explosives are required to cause destruction and are used in quantities so large or in such a fashion that destruction is inevitable. As a result, the impression is given of an overwhelming force causing uncontrolled devastation. 

Internationally-operating pharmaceutical companies as well as CROs are busy these days with similar activities in order to gain first-hand experience with the new format, and to take part in the voluntary phase by fQing applications simultaneously as soon as possible. 

The data contained in this list comes from reports by Internet users. So if you have first hand experience with a company, you should report it to the list operator. If you are drug tested by a company that is not listed, you can submit a report to the list operator, who will add it. If you have a good experience with a company that does not violate your privacy, please also report it to the list operator, who will provide good publicity for the company. 

There has been little written regarding first-hand experiences with Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A. Although recently reports from individuals have appeared in publications such as The Entheogen... 

Attention is directed to the numerous references, particularly in Chapter II on Experimental Technique, to firms supplying specialised apparatus. The author has usually had first-hand experience with this apparatus and he feels that some readers may wish to know the present source of supply and also from whom to obtain additional information. It must be mentioned that most of the... 

Employee data. Companies should not discount the value of the information that can be obtained from talking and listening to employees. Employees have first-hand experience with customers that may lead to improvements in the product or service delivery. Surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews all can be used to collect data from employees. 

Also, due to the somewhat proprietary nature of much of this technology, the described components and chemistries are based on what can be best surmised from presentations at technical meetings, product literature and other publicly available information, and first-hand experience. There is substantial fine detail to many of these systems and many subtleties remain the secret domain of the battery experts. 

This book could not have been put together without the assistance of the skilled and patient investigators who contributed chapters to this third edition of Clinical Studies in Medical Biochemistry many have first-hand experience with the clinical disorders they describe. Furthermore, most of the authors of these chapters are themselves engaged in educating medical students.Whatever success this book enjoys, we owe to these contributors and to our skilled editors at Oxford, Jeffrey House and at Bytheway Publishing, Kim Hoag. 

If the farmer has little first-hand experience of poultry husbandry, these points should be learnt from the management advisor employed by most integrators or from specialist textbooks or manuals produced by the companies supplying stock into the intensive market. However it must be remembered that when the inexperienced producer is only learning from textbooks or, even worse, learning from the ill informed local expert , the welfare of the stock is in jeopardy. 

It no doubt makes sense that vermin were to be found wherever many people lived in camps or in poor sanitary conditions. Polish conditions was a catch phrase in those days We mention this here only to clarify how first-hand experience influenced people s thinking. Very many persons were still living in those days who had relevant experience from World War I in combating vermin. 

Many of the aforementioned carbohydrate microarray strategies have been used for observations on proteins of known specificities and their interactions with sugars. We highlight below several oligosaccharide microarray systems that are beyond proof-of-concept and have provided new biological insights. We dwell, in some detail, on the NGL-based oligosaccharide microarray platform with which we have first hand experience. 

QA auditors are often actively involved in providing training on GCP and regulatory topics related to clinical research. They gain first-hand experience regarding interpretations, shortcoming... 

The source of first-hand experience with the pipeline systems is the industry. There is an ongoing effort... 

Generations change and current generations only hear about the good old days in stories but may not have had first-hand experience with those days that were free of water and air pollution or days that were once relatively free of water scarcity problems in, for example, the lower reaches of the Amudarya and the Syrdarya. To a majority of the current Aral Basin population, there was always a Karakum Canal (begun in 1954) taking water out of the Amudarya. Most likely, they do not know what life was like before the canal was constmcted, except by way of history, documentaries, visits to the local museums and the reminiscence of their elders. 

Based on these objectives NCERT developed disciplined science courses in physics, chemistry and biology in mid-sixties. These courses were oriented in such a way that teaching of science was based on first hand experiences, practical experiments, which might be in the form of demonstrations by the teacher and individual laboratory exercises and up-to-date facts of science with suitable examples and illustrations from everyday life. 

Over the past 90 years, chemical weapons have found only a few defenders. These have included such distinguished scientists as F. Haber and J. B. S. Haldane, military men including Brigadier Fries and Lt Col. Prentiss of the US Chemical Corps, military physicians including Col. E. B. Vedder (US), and military historians, including B. H. Lidell Hart. Several of these writers had first-hand experience of the extensive use... 

In addition to those pointing out the horrors of CW was a small group of scientists and others who supported further work on CW for quite a different reason they thought it was a more human way to wage war than conventional means. The leading proponent of this view was J. B. S. Haldane who had had first-hand experience of... 

Italian forces used sulphur mustard against Ethiopian forces in 1936 and it was used by Japanese forces against Chinese troops during World War II (Robinson, 1971). In the Iran-Iraq war, allegations, which proved well founded, of the use of sulphur mustard by Iraq were made (United Nations Security Council, 1984,1986,1987). In 1986, more than 30 Iranian casualties whose injuries were compatible with exposure to mustard gas were evacuated to London for treatment. The author was thus able to gather first-hand experience of treating mustard gas casualties.
