Complete sleep deprivation is difficult to verify without objective measurement. Only one study employed polysomnograms to assess sleep and that involved partial sleep deprivation (92). Most studies used the honor system or third-party observers to verify sleep deprivation. This may be a fatal flaw as ultra-short sleep strategies, microsleeps, and napping temper the effects of sleep depri-... [Pg.326]

I entered Emory University in the fell of 1937 to major in English Literature. Dean Rece lectured to the newly arrived freshman class, laying down the rules of Emory and of its honor system, telling us we were to sit in our assigned numbered seat in the Glenn Memorial Chapel every Friday with attendance kept by observers in the balcony, and that we had to understand and follow the important announcements that Emory officers would make. [Pg.11]

The LIFE article presented pictures and short descriptions of undergraduate and graduate students as well as the founding fathers and some of the great scientists at Caltech. Like Emory, Caltech was all male and operated on the honor system. Teachers handed out examinations and left the room students were honor botmd not to cheat and were honor bound to report any cheating that they observed. [Pg.20]

Entities involved in long-term contracts with electric utihties, such as fuel supphers and NUGs selling power to utihties, also have concerns that some utihties or industrial customers will not be able to honor their contracts under the new, more competitive system. Einahy, some utihties are concerned that they wih not be adequately reimbursed for opening up their transmission systems to competitors. The potential competitors in turn are concerned that utihties whl not provide unbiased access to their transmission systems if the utihties themselves are also in business of marketing power. There has also been some debate regarding which transmission facihties are eligible for open access. This is because some facihties are considered local distribution systems by utihties, which feel they should not be opened to competitors. [Pg.89]

A signed statement by management without its approval to the quality system documented policies and procedures will indicate that it is not committed to honoring the policies and procedures. Managers need to approve the documents within the quality system that prescribe activities for which they themselves are responsible. This serves to demonstrate that they agree with the manner in which the policy has been interpreted and are prepared to provide the resources needed to implement the documented practices. [Pg.97]

As pointed out earlier, the equilibrium constant of a system changes with temperature. The form of the equation relating K to T is a familiar one, similar to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (Chapter 9) and the Arrhenius equation (Chapter 11). This one is called the van t Hoff equation, honoring Jacobus van t Hoff (1852-1911), who was the first to use the equilibrium constant, K. Coincidentally, van t Hoff was a good friend of Arrhenius. The equation is... [Pg.341]

It is a pleasure for us who are friends, colleagues, and collaborators, to offer this contribution to a volume published in honor of Yngve Ohm s bS " birthday. For most of his career, Yngve has been interested in response properties of various systems to various probes, and we offer this contribution in that spirit. The Generalized Oscillator Strength, the subject of this paper, is the materials property that describes the response of a medium to swift particle, and thus, perhaps, an appropriate subject for this volume. Mostly, we are happy to take this opportunity to thank Yngve for his help, inspiration, and friendship over the years. [Pg.177]

The time-honored method of controlling insect-borne virus diseases is by breeding resistant varieties. This has been practical in annual crops, but is hopelessly slow in tree crops, where it may take 20 years or more to test a new variety. What is needed desperately is some sort of treatment which will control the virus, probably a systemic treatment, as the virus works within the plant cells. This is not a new idea and work has been done along this line by many workers. A sense of urgency is inevitable, however, when 500 to 600 acres of citrus can be wiped out completely in 3 to 5 years time, followed by an expensive replanting job and a wait of 5 to 6 years to get back into production. This is the outstanding problem at the present time and may need years to answer. [Pg.83]

ORIGIN OF NAME Unnilquadium follows the transitional naming system of lUPAC but originally was named "hahnium" by the Berkeley group in honor of Otto Hahn, who discovered nuclear fission. The American Chemical Society endorsed the name "hahnium" for element 105, but as the Berkeley group continued its work and more isotopes of Q Unp were formed, the lUPAC changed the name "hahnium" to "dubnium" after the city Dubna, Russia, where the first isotopes of unnilpentium were formed. [Pg.343]

The prediction of such a curve for a specific system has defied mathematical analysis, except in the region of low inertial effects. Recourse must be made to the time-honored method of graphical empirical correlation. Klee and Treybal (K3) arrived at two equations, one for the region below the peak diameter and one for that above the peak. They warn that these are simply good approximations, and that their dimensionless-group equations describe their data and those of other authors fairly accurately. The field liquid in all systems used was one of low viscosity. [Pg.64]

Now, then [continued Berzelius], it is clear that the columbic acid of Mr. Hatchett, having been composed of oxide of tantalum and tungstic acid, which communicated to it a part of its specific properties, it is clear, I say, that Mr. Hatchett shares the discovery of tantalum in almost the same manner as MM. Fourcroy and Vauquelin share with Mr. Tennant the honor of having discovered osmium ( Thomson s System, Ed. IV, Vol. 1, p. 200), and I suppose that you will not refuse to render the same justice to the work of the Swede Ekeberg that you have just rendered to the Englishman Tennant. ... [Pg.349]
