Reputational effects

This plant was called "Sinicuiche" by the Aztecs and is still used by Mexican shamans as a trance-divination catalyst. I did not personally experience any of its reputed effects, but this could have been a dose-related phenomenon rather than a defect in the substance itself. Ten grams of fresh leaves is considered by some authors as a starting dose. Were I to try it again, I d go to fifteen. 

One of the most controversial of the reputed effects of marijuana is the production of an amo-tivational syndrome however, there are no data that demonstrate a causal relationship between marijuana smoking and these behavioral characteristics. There is no evidence that marijuana use damages brain cells or produces any permanent functional changes. 

Ultra fine metallic colloids of gold, platinum and silver are one form of pure metals used medicinally. To be effective, these colloid molecules need to have a diameter of between one to ten nanometers. These colloids give rise to some surprising claims. Gold colloids reputedly help the nervous system and relieve depression, anxiety and arthritis. Silver colloids are reputedly effective against over six hundred and fifty viruses, bacteria, fungus and yeasts. Many recommend care with silver because the element can build up in body tissue and become toxic to the bacteria required for normal body function. 

Tim Schweisfiirth gives answer to this question based on three subsequent studies in his first study he uses an explorative, qualitative research approach which aims at mapping the phenomenon in focus. The analyses rest on interviews with R D managers and embedded lead users in the sports, leisure and healthcare industry. He finds that embedded lead users differ clearly from non-user employees as they hold use experience and practice, which leads to reputational effects in R D and to cognitive...

Parylene C was included among the eadiest MIL-I-46058 (51) qualified coatings (as type XY) and has since enjoyed a reputation for superior performance in protecting and preserving the operation of electronic circuits against the detrimental effects of their operating environments. 

Cost to the Industry. When compared to the potential expense for defending a single claim of tampering, the cost of effective tamper-evident packaging becomes insignificant. Many firms simply caimot afford the cost of responding to product tampering claims, especially if the firm is a small one with a limited or totally related product line where the reputation of the entire product line can be affected by adverse pubHcity on one item. LiabiUty insurance caimot return lost customer confidence. 

PHAs are performed primarily to reduce losses resulting from incidents that can injure plant personnel or the public, or damage or destroy buildings, equipment, and material. There are other less measurable losses that occur after incidents. Companies reputations, the industry s reputation and the effect on customers and the public are all at stake. 

An hour later, in preparation for the test, the ECCS was blocked for unknown icasons, in violation of regulations. This had no effect on the accident but indicates something about plant safety although the operators were reputed to be the best. 

The barks of Alstoiiia species (Apocyiiaceae) had a considerable reputation throughout the tropics as effective anti-malarial drugs, which led to their inclusion in the British Pharmacopoeia, 1914, and to their chemical examination by various workers. The following is a list of the species examined and of the alkaloids found. The figures in brackets are percentages of total alkaloids. 

The glutarimide best known to the lay public, thalidomide (40), owes its reputation not to efficacy, but to the wholly unanticipated and tragic teratogenic effects elicited by this compound. It might be noted that the very efficacy and lack of the usual barbiturate side effects shown by this drug led to its prescription as a hypnotic for expectant mothers. Condensation of the phthalimide of glutamic acid (39) with ammonia at elevated... 

Another agent of this general type is nalmefene (47) Despite their useful characteristics, opiates display tolerance, addiction, abuse, and some toxic side effects Antagonists combat some of these effects, most notably respiratory depression and addiction Nalmefene reputedly has significant oral activity as a narcotic antagonist The synthesis of nalmefine concludes by Wittig olefination of naltrexone (46) to nalmefene (47) This molecular transformation resulted in a significant increase in oral potency as well (141...

With that story as part of his family lore, Wager grew up sceptical of claims about the healing power of the mind, but he also developed a keen interest in the kinds of health-related outcomes that might be affected by belief. That interest eventually led him to conduct scientific investigations of the placebo effect, studies that have given him an international reputation. 

The radioactive element is a silvery, shiny, soft metal that is chemically similar to calcium and barium. It is found in tiny amounts in uranium ores. Its radioactivity is a million times stronger that that of uranium. Famous history of discovery (in a shed). Initially used in cancer therapy. Fatal side effects. Small amounts are used in luminous dyes. Radium was of utmost importance for research into the atom. Today its reputation is rather shaky as its decay gives rise to the unpleasant radon (see earlier). In nuclear reactors, tiny amounts of actinium are formed from radium.
