In one very large organization, it was agreed that if the safety staff promoted adoption of a system as simple as a Five Why Technique to improve incident investigations and achieved a B-e grade in 2 years, a miracle would have been produced.

Using contributory factor framework, cause and effect method, tree diagram, barrier analysis and the five why s technique. Each contributory factor identified in the analysis could be a causal factor or an influencing factor... 

Step 3 - Problem solving - Use ask "Why" five times technique to get to the root causes. List problems or identified opportunities... 

While asking five whys wiU usually lead to a root cause, it is okay to ask six or seven whys if needed. When using this technique, remember that the focus is on identifying a broken or absent process, not a human or equipment failure. In the example above, an investigator could jump to the conclusion that not maintaining the vehicle to the recommended service schedule is operator negligence however, the operator may not have the training or parts to maintain the vehicle. In this case, a sixth why may be necessary in order to get to the true root cause of an accident. 

As mentioned earlier, many people attempt to smoke Salvia divinorum and fail to achieve any noticeable effects. One can only speculate as to why this occurs. It is certainly possible that smoking technique may be responsible for the success some enjoy, yet as the technique is so simple this is not very probable. It is more likely that the Salvia experience is simply a very fragile trance, and those who are more open to it are likely to experience deeper effects. It is possible that prior exposure to novel psychic states aids in the attempt to access the Salvia dimension, yet several seasoned explorers have nonetheless reported failure. It seems that as with Cannabis, many people simply need to "learn" to receive the effects by performing several attempts, usually achieving success after four or five. 

The only gas-phase chemical reactions reported for excited 02, other than with 03, are reactions with olefinic substances.24 38 44,50,51 The reactjon of 02(1A9) with 2,3-dimethylbutene-2 (TME) has been discussed in Section III-F in connection with techniques for the estimation of [02(1Afl)], and the preliminary rate constant of 10s liter mole-1 sec-1, obtained by Arnold44 has been reported. She investigated the removal of Q2(1A9) by a series of olefins Figure 6 shows the decay of [O A,)] in the presence of equal concentrations of ethylene and five of its derivatives. Presumably all the olefins may react initially to form hydroperoxides (see structure 1, p. 328), although their relative stabilities may explain why 2,3-dimethylbutene-2 is so much more effective in removing 02(1A9) than are the other olefins. 

This section of the Annual Reports comprises five contributions from experts in their fields. These contributions attempt to meld advanced technical aspects of biopolymer selection with more theoretical treatments. As a result, the interplay between the applied and basic scientific aspects of an emergent field becomes apparent. The opus by Dr. Bennett Levitan (Santa Fe Institute) provides one of the first coherent frameworks for understanding selection techniques. This chapter provides a firm connection between the experimental techniques used and the probabilistic models that of necessity underlie these techniques, and should prove to be a benchmark both in understanding why selections... 

In The Ultimate pH Solution, you ll leam why making your blood more alkaline, and therefore alkalizing your whole body, makes all the difference between poor health and great health. You ll discover simple alkalizing techniques that take five minutes or less. These techniques will significantly alter your body s pH from acidic to slightly alkaline to help you restore balance and prevent disease. 

Finally, let me point your attention to volume 28 of Advances in Chemical Engineering on Molecular Modeling and Theory in Chemical Engineering published five years ago. Several chapters elaborate on the use of quantum chemical calculations to obtain thermochemical and kinetic data. This is the only reason why I opted not to include similar material in this volume. Clearly, ab initio computational techniques, or at least the results of the latter, should be part of the toolkit to obtain chemical engineering kinetics. 

Many method development strategies have been reported in the literature for different separation techniques [1,4,6]. Erom these, there appear to be common themes and generalised strategies that exist in aU the approaches reviewed to date - this will be discussed in the early sections of this chapter in sufficient detail to set the scene for the following sections. Part of this section will also look at why particular separation methods are used, and the in xtrtance of sample preparation will be discussed. A review of the hterature over the last five years has indicated that the most popular front-line separation techniques are HPLC, GC and CE. The next four sections will focus on each of the separation methods... 

This is a simplified root cause analysis technique. The five W s are who, what, where, when, and why, and the two H s are how and how many. If these seven questions are answered, the problem will be specifically defined, with suggestions as to what the root cause might be. 

Quantification of AES and XPS has been a challenge for many years, but substantial progress has been made [5, 6]. We will focus here on two subjects that are very important for quantitative measurements by these techniques, first, it is often necessary to obtain different measures of the surface sensitivity of AES and XPS, such as those that are required for a quantitative analysis, a measurement of an overlayer-film thickness, and a statement of sampling depth. The following four terms can be used for these purposes the IMEP, the EAL, the mean escape depth (MED), and the information depth (ID). We show why these terms are conceptually different as well as often numerically different, for this purpose, it is useful to first introduce the concept of the depth distribution function (DDE) for the detected signal. We give information on five databases available from the...
