Handling the Evidence

The gathering of evidence is a fact-finding process that provides the data to be analyzed, and prevention decisions can be based upon the findings. The investigator s evidence usually comes from four sources people, locations, equipment/parts/ accessories, and paper documentation. The evidence sought should identify what was normal, what occurred abnormally, what time it occurred, how it happened, and what the results of the incident were. 

At times, specific analytical techniques and tests must be performed on chemicals, parts, and equipment in order to verify suspicions, such as that a faulty or damaged part existed. This will require a laboratory test to support your other evidence. 

Evidence should provide reasons why the accident occurred, the sequence of events leading up to the accident, and a possible or plausible event sequence. When you have collected all your evidence, you will want to use one or more analysis techniques discussed in Chapters 7 through 11. Once all facets are analyzed, then appropriate interventions and prevention activities can be put forward and a final report on the incident generated.

Evidence should be stored in a secure area with a notation of the location, date, and who seized the evidence. Examination of evidence should be limited to persons necessary for the investigation, and all persons who have handled the evidence should be noted. Some evidence may need to be examined by a laboratory or other people with specialized experience. For example, financial records on a suspected embezzlement should be examined by a certified public accountant with forensic accounting credentials. Evidence that is moved for examination must identify a chain of custody, again, to maintain the integrity of the evidence. Each person who has custody of the item, for any period of time, however brief, should be noted. If the need arises for the evidence to be introduced at trial, the chain of custody will prove that the item introduced at trial is the same item discovered at the event scene. The occupational safety manager should maintain a log to document the chain of custody. 

The evidence for the existence of benzazetes is much more firmly based than that for azetes. 2-Arylbenzazetes can be isolated at -80 °C and typically are stable up to ca. -40 °C. Thus they can be easily handled and their reactions have been extensively studied <75JCS(P1)45). 

Co(II) complexes react rapidly with free radicals but, because of the difficulty of handling radicals, most of the evidence is indirect. The radicals and Co(II) complexes can both be prepared in situ by photolysis of organocobalt(III) complexes, i.e.,... 

While several studies reported that PLB was present in smooth muscle, very little was known about its role in Ca2+ handling. Some evidence suggested that in addition to A-kinase pathway phosphorylation, activation of the G -kinase pathway was associated with PLB phosphorylation. The latter was of particular interest to vascular smooth muscle, for which endothelium-dependent relaxation via nitric oxide (NO) made the mechanism of G-kinase-mediated relaxation of considerable physiological significance (Karczewski et al 1998). 

Watt and Drummond, were considered to be inert for C-C bond forming reactions. However, by the expedient of transmetallation to Cu, Ni, Zn, Li, and Al, methodologies for the stereoselective synthesis of olefins and dienes, as well as unusual heterocycles, aromatics and their ring-annulated products are now available which are beginning to make impact on material science, e. g. synthesis of pentacenes and polyphenylenes. Takahashi and Li provide evidence that, with further developments in transmetallation and handling the zirconacycles outside of the Schlenk tube techniques, synthetic utility will increase and new catalytic reactions will be developed. 

On the other hand, the prediction by content approach is applicable regardless of the variety of sorting pathways. It may be applied to partial sequences, which are now massively produced day by day. In addition, this approach allows a simple and unified treatment, which is convenient for objective testing (e.g., cross validation). However, there is no guarantee that the amino acid composition of proteins in each localization site is well conserved. Even when a clear tendency is observed for a known set of proteins, it can be an artifact resulting from the deviation of data because the size of known proteins for each site is often insufficient to perform reliable statistical analyses. It is also evident that this approach cannot handle the differences among isoforms with different localization (see Section III,K,3). 

The first example uses generalizations and unsubstantiated claims ( no reason to treat [them]..., can handle the extra responsibility ), which weaken the argument. The second uses evidence, such as the responsibility of driving and voting, to make the case for open campuses. Remember to back up what you say with evidence, details, and other types of examples. 

Despite the evident success of PDT in the medical field, the application of the principles of PDT to control pathogens in the enviromnent and during food processing and handling was practically scarce. Only recently, several articles have been published on the use of PS dyes in combination with light for the removal of pathogens from contact surfaces... 

After flawing the evidence, notify the commanding officer as soon as possible. If evidence must be removed, handle it carefully to maintain fingerprint integrity. 

Causal quantum theories have been developed to handle the empirical quantum evidence, and some of these theories, such as de Broglie s theory in its linear approximation, are almost as good as the usual orthodox quantum theory. A relative large number of experiments were even developed to test de Broglie s causal theory and other alternative theories as well, but only a few limited number of these proposed experiments were carried out effectively. And even so they were not carried out thoroughly. As a consequence, the results obtained were not conclusive, and no solid conclusion in favor or against the completeness of the usual orthodox interpretation of the Copenhagen School... 

Third, we can draw a vital conclusion about correlated calculations from these benchmarks. They have established that MRCI (or MRCI+Q) calculations on systems with up to ten electrons correlated, for example, involve little or no error from truncation of the iV-particle basis, at least for calculations in DZP (or somehat larger) basis sets. If we assume that this conclusion is independent of any coupling between the one-particle and iV-particle space, an assumption that is supported by the (very limited) available evidence, we can conclude that in any one-particle basis there will be little or no truncation error in MRCI calculations. It then follows that we should expect that MRCI in a complete basis would agree with complete Cl, that is, with the exact result. Hence if our MRCI calculations do not suffer from errors as a result of JV-paxticle space truncation we infer that the main source of errors (if any) must be the one-paxticle basis. This had been suggested on numerous previous occasions — our best correlation treatments handle the correlation problem very well and the errors in our best results actually reflect inadequacies in the one-particle basis. We shall turn our attention to one-particle basis sets in the next chapter. 

To this end we and our collaborators have repeatedly scrutinized every bit of information recorded here. We have separately evaluated the conformity of the apparatus and experimental techniques to the best modern standards, the accuracy of the handling of the data obtained, the certainty with which products and intermediates were identified, the strength of the evidence given for each suggested reaction course or mechanism, and every other point that the published description of each research allowed us to check.
