OutRage

Russian articles make some outrageous claims and this one is no different [43], These mothers claim that piperonal or benzaldehyde will react with nitroethane by sitting in the dark at 10°C with only a couple of drops of ethylenediamine. Almost 100% yield no less Strike has never tried this nor does Strike fall for Russian science, but if anyone is interested... [Pg.130]

In general, it is easier to estabUsh an aquaculture faciUty on private land than in pubHc waters such as a lake or coastal embayment. Prospective aquaculturists who want to estabUsh faciUties in pubHc waters may be confronted at pubHc hearings by outraged citizens who do not want to see an aquaculture faciUty in what they consider to be their water. The issue is highly contentious in some nations (eg, the United States). In other countries, aquaculture in pubHc waters is seen as not only a good use of natural resources, but can be considered an amenity (eg, Japan). [Pg.13]

There is no privity of contract between [the plaintiff and the defendant] and if the plaintiff can sue, every passenger, or even any person passing along the road, who was injured by the upsetting of the coach, might bring a similar action. Unless we confine the operation of such contracts as this to the parties who entered into them, the most absurd and outrageous consequences...would ensure. [Pg.96]

The perception of a given risk is amplified by what are kitowit as "outrage" factors. These factors can ni ike people feel that even small risks are unacceptable. More than twenty outrage factors have been identified a few of the ittain ones are defined below. ... [Pg.412]

These outrage factors arc not distortions in the public s perception of risk. They are inborn parts of what is interpreted as risk. They are explanations of why the public fears pollutants in the air and water more tlum tliey do geological radon. The problem is that many risk experts resist tlie use of the public s "irrational fear" in their risk management. [Pg.413]

A problem exists in the perception of risk because the experts and lay people s views differ. The experts usually base their assessment on mortality rates, while the lay people s fears are based on "outrage" factors. In order to help solve tliis problem, in tlie future, risk nimuigcrs must work to make truly serious hazards more outrageous. One example is tlie ongoing concern for tlie risk involved in cigarette smoke. Another effort must be made to decrease tlie public s concern with low to modest hazards, i.e., risk managers must diminish "outrage" in these areas. In addition, people must be treated fairly and honestly. [Pg.413]

The media provides information regarding the nature and extend of risks. Every day risks, ue underestimated by the public, because much attention is directed to largely publicized risks. The perception of a given risk is amplified by "outrage factors Inch can make people feel even small risks are unacceptable. Experts view the perception of risk differently tlian lay people as a result a serious hazard may be underestimated. [Pg.419]

The lengthy maturation of a multiauthored book of this nature is subject to life s contingencies. Hopefully, its structure is sound and has survived the bumps of outrageous fortune. I wish to thank all the contributors for their courage in writing. It is their work and commitment that have made this book possible. [Pg.682]

Yes, I mourned Aunt Elaine quietly and with a kind of joy for what she d been and what she d been to me my mourning was simple. Whereas for Adam. .. even after two years of it creeping ever nearer I hadn t expected the unbearable, outraged pain that flayed me in the weeks after his death. Even after two more years sometimes it still flays me, and leaves me shivering and raw for whatever cold winds of memory are passing. [Pg.131]

The public was outraged. It did not matter whether the pollution came from a chemical factory, power utilities, mines, petroleum, automobiles, or semiconductors the chemical industry s reputation was in free-fall. In 1990, the U.S. Congress established the Super Fund, requiring industry to pay for cleaning up hazardous waste. Major chemical manufacturers banded together in a voluntary effort to reduce factory emissions to almost zero and to police themselves. At the opposite extreme, some environmentalists called for the elimination of all toxic substances. [Pg.199]

This chapter shows that the synthetic and analytical problems associated with the synthesis of the title dendrimers are not outrageously more complex than for small core dendrimers and that the difficulties can be overcome. It draws a comprehensive picture of what has been done in the field of dendrimers with polymeric cores putting emphasis first on synthetic issues and then on experiments investigating the aggregation behavior of these intruiging macromolecules both in the solid state and on surfaces. Finally, experiments will be described which show that some of these dendrimers can be considered cylindrical molecular objects. The macromolecules treated in this chapter may be... [Pg.176]

This book presents the basic techniques in the organic chemistry laboratory with the emphasis of doing the work correctly the first time. To this end, examples of what can go wrong are presented with admonishments, often bordering on the outrageous, to forestall the most common of errors. This is done in the belief that it is much more difficult to get into impossible experimental troubles once the student has been warned of the merely improbable ones. Complicated operations, such as distillation and extraction, are dealt with in a straightforward fashion, both in the explanations and in the sequential procedures. [Pg.331]

The town board heard many outraged and arguments from... [Pg.102]

A postcondition states what we want an end result to be. For example, let s suppose one instructor can be the mentor of one other instructor perhaps some of them get too outrageous in class from time to time. The action of assigning a mentor is, informally, as follows ... [Pg.113]

Experience suggests the benefit might be even greater here, where we are conditioned to accept outrageously loose terminology. [Pg.568]

Hence, it seems safe to conclude that the next century will see considerable research on materials and alchemy using quantum theory. If the physical models improve and computations continue to get more accessible, many experimentalists will have access to these tools. In science, all decisions are ultimately made by experiment, and most new discoveries are made by observing physical systems. Perhaps it is not too outrageous to suggest that, if theory continues to improve as it has, theorists may discover new states of matter and properties such as superconductivity and magnetism using their computers and analytic modeling. [Pg.268]
