Meeting arrangements

Define the relationship with your mentor. Tflfce responsibility for self-directed growth. You and your mentor should decide on the approach and means to reach your goals. This can include telephone calls and electronic communications, as well as meetings arranged when it is mutually convenient. 

The committee met with Congressman Bob Riley (R-Ala.) at his request, and with representatives from Calhoun and Talladega counties, plus concerned citizens and governmental officials from Alabama, at a Capitol Hill meeting arranged by Congressman Riley to provide the committee with a local perspective. 

Background, support, and other materials are provided as attachments. This extra effort by the person managing the meeting arrangements provides participants with the opportunity to be prepared so the meeting time can be used effectively. 

With three bubbles, the septa must meet at 120° if the system is to be mechanically stable. A fourth bubble could now be added as shown in Fig. XIV-14, but this would not be stable. The slightest imbalance or disturbance would suffice to move the septa around until an arrangement such as in Fig. XIV-14h resulted. Thus a two-dimensional foam consists of a more or less uniform hexagonal type of network. 

The flows of gas and liquid need not be concentric for aerosol formation and, indeed, the two flows could meet at any angle. In the cross-flow nebulizers, the flows of gas and sample solution are approximately at right angles to each other. In the simplest arrangement (Figure 19.11), a vertical capillary tube carries the sample solution. A stream of gas from a second capillary is blown across this vertical tube and creates a partial vacuum, so some sample solution lifts above the top of the capillary. There, the fast-flowing gas stream breaks down the thin film of sample... 

In the cross-flow arrangement, the argon gas flows at high linear velocity across the face of an orthogonal capillary tube containing sample solution. The partial vacuum causes liquid to lift above the end of the capillary. Here, it meets the argon and is nebulized. 

From a practical standpoint, the fiber or polymer must interact or process freely with the dynamics of web formation, and the resulting fiber network must be in register with the interlocking arrangement or media, in order for the fabric stmcture to transmit the maximum potential inherent in the properties of individual fibers. Ultimately, if a nonwoven fabric is to be totally effective and its properties fuUy utilized, it must be appropriately configured to meet its end use apptication or appropriately placed in the end use item in such a way that the performance of the product reflects the position and characteristics of individual fibers.

Since the belt is wrapped snugly around the material, it moves with the belt and is not subject to any form of internal movement except at feed and discharge. In addition, the belt can operate in many planes, with twists and turns to meet almost any layout condition within the fixed hmit of curvature placed on the loaded belt. It can convey and elevate with only a single drive multiple feed and discharge points are relatively easy to arrange. 

The selection process of power cables is almost the same as that of a bus system discussed in Section 28.3. For simplicity we consider only the basic data for selection which would suffice the majority of applications. For accurate calculations a similar approach will be essential as for the bus systems (Chapter 28). For site conditions and laying arrangements which may influence the basic rating of a cable, corresponding derating factors have also been provided. The information covered here will be useful to users to meet their cable requirements, although the data may vary marginally for different manufacturers. For more data on cables, not covered here, reference may be made to the cable manufacturers. 

There is a whole science called molecular architecture devoted to making all sorts of chains and trying to arrange them in all sorts of ways to make the final material. There are currently thousands of different polymeric materials, all having different properties - and new ones are under development. This sounds like bad news, but we need only a few six basic polymers account for almost 95% of all current production. We will meet them later. 

Exaet outage time should be arranged, and the turbine prepared for the eontraeting erew or plant maintenanee erew. All personnel should be on the job or available to meet the starting date. 

It should be emphasized at this point that the speed of response is cnti-cal. The pressure transient pressure should not fall to less than 50% of the difference in pressure between the standby pump start pressure and the low oil pressure trip pressure. This is normally achievable with good design practice and the use of a switch and direct wiring. There is some tendency to use a transmitter and control through a remote computer. The latter arrangement is difficult to check on a shop test and normally is too slow to meet the requirement. An accumulator can be added and must be used if the requirement cannot be met. This additional hardware contributes to higher initial cost and possible reliability problems in the future. The direct switch method is therefore highly recommended. 

We must not forget the client. The client review is an excellent tool that can be used to get the client s first impression of safety performance. This has been shown to be especially effective when conducted on a formal basis after a phase of the project, or the entire project, has been completed. The PM and the SM should arrange to meet the client represen-tative(s) in a face-to-face meeting to discuss safety performance and possibly other parameters of the recently completed job, or phase of job. The information obtained from the review is immediately analyzed. Once analyzed, it can be used to prevent recurrences of identified problems, to publicize good practices and innovative approaches to problem solving, and to perform work more safely and efficiently. 

In order that your subcontractors can achieve 100% on-time delivery, you need to provide the same type of information and make the same commitments as your customer will to enable you to meet 100% on-time delivery to them (see Part 2 Chapter 15). You therefore need to inform your subcontractors of your production schedule and release orders to your subcontractors based on that schedule. If operating under a ship-to-stock system, you will need a means of notifying your subcontractor when stocks drop to the minimum level. Under such arrangements, you do not need a purchase order for every delivery as one order specifying the shipment rate will suffice. A good maxim to work by is ... 

Find out where your company s formal communications originate. Who is in charge of putting out press releases, newsletters, product information Arrange to meet with those responsible, to see how you might incorporate PSM information into these publications and offer to provide sample texts.
