Prepare Conclusions

The conclusions condense the data into recommendations for proceeding. They should set the direction for guiding supply chain changes. Among areas for comment in the conclusions are the following  

Effectiveness of current supply chains, and their appropriateness in light of customer expectations 

New supply chain proposals that would more effectively serve a customer segment 

Comments on the role of systems, and needs for systems upgrades 

Opportunities for improving prohts and cash flow in the supply

Nevertheless it is possible to summarise some preparative conclusions which appear to be generally useful. 

Evidence from the viscosities, densities, refractive indices and measurements of the vapour pressure of these mixtures also supports the above conclusions. Acetyl nitrate has been prepared from a mixture of acetic anhydride and dinitrogen pentoxide, and characterised, showing that the equilibria discussed do lead to the formation of that compound. The initial reaction between nitric acid and acetic anhydride is rapid at room temperature nitric acid (0-05 mol 1 ) is reported to be converted into acetyl nitrate with a half-life of about i minute. This observation is consistent with the results of some preparative experiments, in which it was found that nitric acid could be precipitated quantitatively with urea from solutions of it in acetic anhydride at —10 °C, whereas similar solutions prepared at room temperature and cooled rapidly to — 10 °C yielded only a part of their nitric acid ( 5.3.2). The following equilibrium has been investigated in detail ... 

The controversy seemed then to be closed. In 1890 Hantzsch had already started his work on the structure of oximes, and his synthetic work on heterocycles was practically ended. However, 27 years later, in July 1919, Tcherniac published a new paper entitled TTiiocyanoacetone and its derivatives as isomerides (33), where, after the description of improved and generalized methods for the preparation of thiocyanoacetone he came to the explosive conclusion that the substance which has been known since 1887 as hydroxymethylthiazole is not a thiazole at all. It might be called 2-imino-4-methylthioxole, but for the sake of simplicity, and in view of the now proved existence of two other isomerides of thiocyanoacetone, it seems preferable to adopt the generic... 

A manual entitled Reporting Physisorption Data for Gas/Solid Systems with Special Reference to the Determination of Surface Area and Porosity has been prepared as a provisional publication by Commission 1.6 of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC). The purpose of the manual is to draw attention to problems involved in reporting physisorption data and to provide guidance on the evaluation and interpretation of isotherm data. The general conclusions and recommendations are very similar to those contained in Chapter 6. 

From appropriate ratios of these sequence lengths, what conclusions can be drawn concerning terminal versus penultimate control of addition The following are experimental tacticity fractions of polymers prepared from different monomers and with various catalysts. On the basis of Fig. 7.9, decide whether these preparations are adequately described (remember to make some allowance for experimental error) by a single parameter p or whether some other type of statistical description is required ... 

The sohd can be contacted with the solvent in a number of different ways but traditionally that part of the solvent retained by the sohd is referred to as the underflow or holdup, whereas the sohd-free solute-laden solvent separated from the sohd after extraction is called the overflow. The holdup of bound hquor plays a vital role in the estimation of separation performance. In practice both static and dynamic holdup are measured in a process study, other parameters of importance being the relationship of holdup to drainage time and percolation rate. The results of such studies permit conclusions to be drawn about the feasibihty of extraction by percolation, the holdup of different bed heights of material prepared for extraction, and the relationship between solute content of the hquor and holdup. If the percolation rate is very low (in the case of oilseeds a minimum percolation rate of 3 x 10 m/s is normally required), extraction by immersion may be more effective. Percolation rate measurements and the methods of utilizing the data have been reported (8,9) these indicate that the effect of solute concentration on holdup plays an important part in determining the solute concentration in the hquor leaving the extractor. 

Company practices differ in who does purchasing research and how it is done. Several patterns are evident. The chemical buyer is responsible for preparing the purchase profiles, possibly with in-house Hbrary assistance. Market research analysts are assigned to the purchasing department and prepare some or all of the profiles needed. Outside consultants are used to prepare some of the purchase profiles or as a check on internal procedures and conclusions. 

Safety and efficacy data on a number of antitussives and expectorants have been reviewed by the FDA s Advisory Review Panel on Over-the-Counter (OTC) Cough, Cold, Allergy, Bronchodilator, and Antiasthmatic Products. The conclusions and recommendations regarding the effectiveness, safety, labeling, and suitability for marketing of over-the-counter preparations have been reported (103). After review of these recommendations, FDA has issued final monographs for over-the-counter antitussives (12) and for expectorants (1). LD q data for most of the compounds described have been reported (104,105). 

Unit layout as installed is the next step of preparation. This may take some effort if analysts have not been involvea with the unit prior to the plant-performance analysis. The equipment in the plant should correspond to that shown on the PFDs and P IDs. Wmere differences are found, analysts must seek explanations. While a hne-by-line trace is not required, details of the equipment installation and condition must be understood. It is particularly useful to correlate the sample and measurement locations and the bypasses shown on the P IDs to those ac tuaUy piped in the unit. Gas vents and liquid (particularly water-phase) discharges may have been added to the unit based on operating experience out not shown on the P IDs. While these flows may ultimately be small within the context of plant-performance an ysis, they may have sufficient impact to alter conclusions regarding trace component flows, particularly those that have a tendency to build in a process. 

Confidence The accuracy of the conclusions drawn from any unit test depends upon the accuracy of the laboratory analyses. Plant-performance analysts must have confidence in these analyses including understanding the methodology and the limitations. This confidence is established through discussion, analyses of known mixtures, and analysis of past laboratory results. This confidence is established during the preparation stage. 

At X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) of samples of the limited weight is perspective to prepare for specimens as polymeric films on a basis of methylcellulose [1]. By the example of definition of heavy metals in film specimens have studied dependence of intensity of X-ray radiation from their chemical compound, surface density (P ) and the size (D) particles of the powder introduced to polymer. Have theoretically established, that the basic source of an error of results XRF is dependence of intensity (F) analytical lines of determined elements from a specimen. Thus the best account of variations P provides a method of the internal standard at change P from 2 up to 6 mg/sm the coefficient of variation describing an error of definition Mo, Zn, Cu, Co, Fe and Mn in a method of the direct external standard, reaches 40 %, and at use of a method of the internal standard (an element of comparison Ga) value does not exceed 2,2 %. Experiment within the limits of a casual error (V changes from 2,9 up to 7,4 %) has confirmed theoretical conclusions. 

The seemingly simple question of the relation the characteristics of a mechanically prepared metal surface and adhesion to that surface has sporadically occupied attention for many decades without any very general conclusion being reached [69]. In some recent work, Amada et al. [70,71] grit-blasted a steel substrate, varying the angle between the gun and the specimen surface, and measured the adhesion of a plasma-sprayed alumina coating. They examined profiles of the... 

There are at least a couple of conclusions we should draw from this example. If you are going to use safety alerts, even though your intentions are honorable, you may offend the injured party, the folks who took part in the investigation, and others. Be prepared for the fall-out. Also, keep in mind that you need to talk the talk and walk the walk. If an incident occurs and a corrective action is indicated, it behooves you to implement some level of corrective action. If you do not implement a sound corrective action, your company likely has an ineffective safety program to go along with a variety of outstanding lawsuits. 

The employer investigates incidents that result in, or could result in, a catastrophic release of highly hazardous chemicals. An incident investigation is initiated as soon as possible, but before 48 hours following the incident. An incident investigation team is established to consist of one or more experts in the process involved, and accident investigation. The report prepared at the conclusion of the investigation includes at a minimum ... 

Tellurium nitride was first obtained by the reaction of TeBt4 with liquid ammonia more than 100 years ago. The empirical formula TeN was assigned to this yellow, highly insoluble and explosive substance. However, subsequent analytical data indicated the composition is Tc3N4 which, in contrast to 5.6a and 5.6b, would involve tetravalent tellurium. This conclusion is supported by the recent preparation and structural determination of Te6N8(TeCl4)4 from tellurium tetrachloride and tris(trimethylsilyl)amine (Eq. 5.5). The TceNs molecule (5.12), which is a dimer of Tc3N4, forms a rhombic dodecahedron in which the...
