Internal methods of quality assessment should always be viewed with some level of skepticism because of the potential for bias in their execution and interpretation. For this reason, external methods of quality assessment also play an important role in quality assurance programs. One external method of quality assessment is the certification of a laboratory by a sponsoring agency. Certification is based on the successful analysis of a set of proficiency standards prepared by the sponsoring agency. For example, laboratories involved in environmental analyses may be required to analyze standard samples prepared by the Environmental Protection... 

Distributors operate on an industrial and/or geographic basis. The industrial group is especially successful in selling some types of specialties and many commodities. Geographic distributors usually handle a wider range of products from many suppHets and ate mote proficient in selling commodities rather than specialties. 

In the past century, the brewing industry has been using scientific research in order to carry out brewing with increased proficiency and confidence. Louis Pasteur of Erance (4) and Emil Chr. Hansen of Denmark did much to elucidate the mysteries of fermentation. 

In principle, the debiting and crediting of accounts are relatively straightforward. However, a great deal of practice is essential in order to achieve proficiency. Although it is not at all necessary for engineers to compete with professional accountants in this field, engineers should appreciate what accountants do and why they do it. 

A proposed product development process that facilitates designing capable and reliable products has been outlined above. It must be stressed that the product development process itself will not produce quality products, and consideration of many issues are crucial to success, such as company strategy, management structure, commitment, sufficient resources, communication, and most importantly proficient engineering practices, such as the following. 

Includes demonstrations and hands-on performance and proficiency At least 24 hours of training equal to the HAZMAT technician level and additional competency in areas listed in 29 CFR (q)(6)(iv)-... 

Copies of the certificate should be retained on file as evidence of training. You may find it useful to issue each individual with a personal training log, but do not rely on this being maintained or retained by the person. Often training records are held at some distance away from an individual s place of work and in certain cases, especially for certificated personnel performing special processes, individuals should carry some identification of their proficiency so as to avoid conflict if challenged. 

BIOH is the professional body for occupational hygiene in Great Britain and ensures that its occupational hygienists are proficient and ethical in their actions. 

The most fundamental skill required is interviewing, an area in which many technically proficient managers may lack experience. Other important skills and techniques include writing findings, sampling and taking notes during the audit.

It takes practice to use curved arrows properly in reaction mechanisms, but there are a few rules and a few common patterns you should look for that will help you become more proficient. 

Intended to help you practice for exams, this survival guide shows you how to solve difficult general chemistry problems by dissecting them into manageable chunks. The guide includes three levels of proficiency questions—A, B, and minimal—to quickly build confidence as you master the knowledge you need to succeed in your course. 

The measurement of filth elements by microanalysis is a valuable adjunct in the enforcement of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and serves as an efficient means of evaluating conditions of cleanliness, decency, and sanitation in food-producing plants. This, of course, is in addition to the value of microanalytical methods in the determination of the fitness of foods as they reach the consumer. The techniques available, together with proficiency of manipulation, repeated references to authentic materials, and sound judgment in the interpretation of results, provide effective enforcement weapons in the constant war to prevent the production and interstate distribution of products which are unfit for the table of the American consumer. 

Industrial WT and FT boilers, on the other hand, usually tolerate some limited degree of waterside deposition (but not corrosion), and with proficient operation, proper attention paid to chemical treatments, and good technical support services, may (almost) never require internal cleaning. 

To be able to explain chemical reactions, students will have to develop mental models of the submicroscopic particles of the substances that undergo rearrangement to produce the observed changes. However, students have difficulty in understanding submicroscopic and symbolic representations as these representations are abstract and carmot be directly experienced (Ben-Zvi, Eylon, Silber-stein, 1986, 1988 Griffiths Preston, 1992). As a result, how well students understand chemistry depends on how proficient they are in making sense of the invisible and the untouchable (Kozma Russell, 1997 p. 949). 

Students responses to the 15 items were analysed to identify any patterns of conceptions that could emerge in their use of the triplet relationship. In general, students in the alternative instractional programme displayed a high level of proficiency in the use of the triplet relationship though several student conceptions were evident despite the emphasis that was placed to facilitate their understanding of the triplet relationship. This outcome was not unexpected as student conceptions, by nature, are often resistant to instruction (Bodner, 1986). 

The efficacy of the alternative instmctional programme in facilitating students understanding of the triplet relationship lends support to the instructional strategies that were implemented in the programme. Also, the RSCRDI has been successfully utilised as a convenient diagnostic tool for assessing students proficiency in the use... 

For example, a certain analytical procedure could have been repeatedly performed by m different technicians. Do they all work at the same level of proficiency, or do they differ in their skills ...
