Spending reducing

While cost-cutting may seem like an appropriate response to current economic conditions, the pitfalls of this approach are numerous. In a tough economy it may be tempting to reduce spending by purchasing lower-cost safety equipment or protective apparel, but at what price If the equipment or apparel doesn t stand up to the job or isn t right for the apphcation, it will inaease the risk to workers as well as offset any planned savings. 

Do not produce a long list of recommendations without any indication of the relative contributions they will make to the reduction of risk or without any comparison of costs and benefits. Resources are not unhmited and the more we spend on reducing one hazard, the less there is left to spend on reducing others. 

The most commonly used physical method for long-term eutrophication control in lakes is that of artificial destratification. This method is well tried and understood and uses either jetted water or compressed air bubbles to break down the lake stratification in the summer months. Algal growth is also affected by an increase in circulation. This is due to the artificial shading effect which results from the algae spending less time near the surface and consequently less time in the light. This technique also reduces the redox-dependent phosphorus release from sediments because the sediment surface remains aerobic. 

Because the WAO process also aims to reduce sludge volume we will spend more time describing this process under the section dealing with Volume Reduction. The other thermal sludge conditioning method is best-known as sludge pasteurization, and deserves more than just a brief overview. 

Nonetheless, birds have higher metabolic rates than mammals of similar size. Most small mammals reduce energy costs by seeking protected environments birds spend much of their time exposed. Also, because fat is heavy, the need to fly restricts a bird s ability to store energy. Even with a high-protein diet, a bird must eat as much as 3(1 percent of its body... 

The proposed technique will be used here to illustrate the case of interfacial heat and multicomponent mass transfer in a perfectly mixed gas-liquid disperser. Since in this case the holding time is also the average residence time, the gas and liquid phases spend the same time on the average. If xc = zd = f, then for small values of t, the local residence times tc and td of adjacent elements of the continuous and dispersed phases are nearly of the same order of magnitude, and hence these two elements remain in the disperser for nearly equal times. One may conclude from this that the local relative velocity between them is negligibly small, at least for small average residence times. Gal-Or and Walatka (G9) have recently shown that this is justified especially in dispersions of high <6 values and relatively small bubbles in actual practice where surfactants are present. Under this domain, Eqs. (66), (68), (69) show that as the bubble size decreases, the quantity of surfactants necessary to make a bubble behave like a solid particle becomes smaller. Under these circumstances (pd + y) - oo and Eq. (69) reduces to... 

OXYTOCIN The patient receiving oxytocin to induce labor may have concern over the use of the drug to produce contractions. When given to induce or stimulate contractions, oxytocin may only be given intravenously (IV). The nurse explains the purpose of the IV infusion and the expected results to the patient. Because the patient receiving oxytocin must be closely supervised, the nurse spends time with the patient and offers encouragement and reassurance to help reduce anxiety. 

Spending effort on research to attempt to reduce what is really aleatory uncertainty is a waste of time. Accepting some unmanageable risks is simply part of the price of entry to the pharmaceutical industry. Once the limits of possible knowledge are accepted, research people can concentrate on discovering what is genuinely knowable. 

Proper load balance is a major consideration for efficient parallel computation. Consider a job distributed over two processors (0 and 1) in such a way that wall clock time is reduced considerably. Nevertheless, it still may be that processor 0 has more work to perform so that processor 1 spends much time waiting for processor 0 to finish up a particular task. It is easy to see that, in this case, the scaling will, in general, not be linear because processor 1 is not performing an equal share of the work.
