From home to work

One of the authors never wanted to learn to drive. Since he lives about 12 km from his university, he usually takes the bus to work. The bus spends a httle over an hour to reach the campus, passing underneath a passageway that crosses over the busy BR-101 highway. From there to the bus terminal on the other side of the campus there are 16 bus stops. Our researcher normally uses one of three different paths to arrive at the department where he works  

Gets off the bus at the first stop after the passageway, uses it to cross the highway, and follows along one side of the campus until the entrance giving access to the department. This is the most deserted path, and also the most exposed to weather. 

Gets off at the third stop after the passageway, crosses BR-101 on foot, and walks on a diagonal path across the campus. In spite of the risk of being run over by a creative Brazilian driver, this path is used by many people and has several pleasant shady spots. 

Gets off at the final point on the other side of the campus and takes a diagonal path in the direction opposite to that in item B. This is the most pleasant and secure path and is used by many more people than the other two.

Consider, for example, that you now know how to get from home to work. Does this mean that you can drive from work to home Not necessarily, as you probably know from experience. If you have only memorized the directions from home to work and do not understand fundamental principles such as "I traveled north to get to the workplace, so my house is south of the workplace," you may find yourself stranded. Part of conceptual problem solving is understanding these fundamental principles. 

Of course, there are many more places to go than from home to work and back. In a more complicated example, suppose you know how to get from your house to work (and back) and from your house to the library (and back). Can you get from work to the library without having to go back home Probably not, if you have only memorized directions and you do not have a "big picture" of where your house, your workplace, and the library are relative to one another. Getting this big picture—a real understanding of the situation—is the other part of conceptual problem solving.

Is top value the same as good analytics A lot of us are probably of the opinion that the proportions are doubtful if someone drives a Ferrari for 500 m from home to work place everyday or if a private modem baseball stadium is only used twice a year only because of a lack of time. In the same way, a critical discussion of top values/top performance is advisable in analytics is it meaningful to equip the instruments for quality control with DADs only for the reason of image or the like, if de facto these facilities will be used at only 20% capacity, if at all Is the requirement R > 2 meaningful Is it necessary to strive for optimal resolution in every case, or can it sometimes be better just to aim for resolution that is adequate for the analytical problem at hand How many out-of-spec situations do I produce for my colleagues in quality control, if as method developer I claim a relative standard deviation of 0.8% for a method with a biological matrix or a contaminated process sample ...

We should confine the story to a very simple situation—let us say, the day of a human rights march. Let s assume that the woman is our main character. We needn t see the march itself but can confine the film to the preparations for the march and the aftermath. The scenes should clarify the relationship by highlighting the sense of trust on the part of the wife, and the planning and preparation of a report on the part of the husband. The government-controlled media—state radio, television, and newspapers— should be omnipresent. It may be necessary to embody the state in another character—a neighbor, for example. If the person who represents the state is too far from home—at work, for example—we would dilute the sense of an immediate threat of spies at and near home. The closer the spies, the more intense the story will be. 

Heavy traffic [4" ]. On a normal working day, I travel from home to office at an average speed of 60 km/h (round trip). Today, as usual, I drove at a speed of 60 km/h to work. Unfortunately, on the return trip, I got stuck in a traffic jam, and so my average speed was only 40 km/h. What was my average speed on the round trip ... 

Non-recordable — A negative reaction to a medication brought from home to treat a non-work related condition. 

Please be aware that if a treatment is administered as a pmely precautionary measure to an employee who does not exhibit any signs or symptoms of an injury or illness, the case is not recordable. For a case to be recordable, an injury or illness must exist. For example, if, as part of an employee wellness program, an ATC recommends exercise to employees that do not exhibit signs or S5unptoms of an abnormal condition, there is no case to record. Furthermore, if an employee has an injury or illness that is not work-related, (e.g., the employee is experiencing muscle pain from home improvement work) the administration of exercise does not make the case recordable either.

Drafts, condensation on windows, ice damming, excessive noise from outdoors or equipment operation, and rooms that are cold in winter and hot in summer will diminish comfort in a home. Air-sealed construction, improved insulation, high-performance windows, right-sized, efficient hcating/cooling distribution systems, and mechanical ventilation commonly found in energy-efficient homes all work together to effectively eliminate these problems. 

Joule had no real protession except as an amateur scientist, and no job except for some involvement in running the family breweiy. Since his father was ill and forced to retire in 1833, his son had to become more involved in the affairs of the brewery from 1833 to 1854, when the brewery was sold by his family. While Joule was working at the breweiy, he carried out his experiments before 9 00 A.M., when the factory opened, and after 6 00 P.M., when it closed. Because his father built a laboratoiy for him in his home, in 1854 he had the time and means to devote himself completely to physics research. Later in life, he suffered severe financial misfortune, but the Royal Society and Queen Victoria in 1878 each provided a 200 subsidy for Joule to continue his important researches. 

The years from 1923 to 1938 were relatively unproductive for G. N. Lewis insofar as his own research was concerned. The applications of the electron-pair bond came largely in the areas of organic and quantum chemistry in neither of these fields did Lewis feel at home. In the early 1930s. he published a series of relatively minor papers dealing with the properties of deuterium. Then in 1939 he began to publish in the field of photochemistry. Of approximately 20 papers in this area, several were of fundamental importance, comparable in quality to the best work of his early years. Retired officially in 1945, Lewis died a year later while carrying out an experiment on fluorescence. 

Colors in a laboratory should be coordinated, just as in a home. If pre-finished work benches are to be installed, they might set the color scheme. While they are available in several colors or combination of colors, the choice is not unlimited. In one case, the laboratory operator was color blind, so his wife took over the job as decorator. First, she selected a two-color scheme for the work benches. Color chips in hand, she then chose a floor covering from a number of samples submitted. For the wall paint, she found a standard color of the recommended quality that harmonized with the cabinets. A few appropriate charts and a colorful cloth wall-hanging of pipes and valves completed the decor. The result received many favorable comments from visitors to the facility.
