Speaking Frankly

The representative Director of the [Majdanek] Museum writes that this gas chamber was used very little — very, very little which means, speaking frankly, that it was not used at all. This fiction is maintained to avoid offending the popular superstition that every crematorium must contain a gas chamber (like the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau. [...] If it had been desired to kill people in that room with Zyklon B, its enclave-shaped location within the building, between the autopsy room, a corridor, and the lying-in-state room, would necessarily have required artificial ventilation, not the slightest trace of which exists. Natural ventilation by means of draughts of air would have required complete evacuation of the crematorium for a period of time which is difficult to estimate. 64...

A multiplicity of terms exists to describe lead poisoning. Strictly speaking frank means unmistakable, clinical is recognisable by a physician and classic as described in a textbook. Symptomatic is in the presence of well-defined symptoms and asymptomatic in the presence of an elevated blood lead without obvious symptoms. Other terms include subclinical and intoxication in which effects of lead are assumed but not yet proven. 

There are close to four million new adults entering the market every year, and that includes women, said Frank Walters, director of research at M. Shanken Communications, a beverage research company in New York, speaking of what he called a baby boomlet that will continue until 2012. 

Strictly speaking, given the violations of the assumptions underlying Eq. (5) discussed earlier, the concept of aw should not be applied to food systems. However, the concept of aw has proven to be an extremely useful and practical tool in both the food industry and in food science research (Franks, 1991). Rather than discarding the use of aw in foods, perhaps it would be more prudent at this point for one to stress the time-dependent nature (i.e., kinetics) of aw measurements and perhaps, as suggested by Slade and Levine (1991) and Fennema (1996), to use the term relative vapor pressure (RVP, the measured term) in place of aw (the theoretical term). To avoid confusion, the term aw will continue to be used in this review, with the understanding that what is most often being measured is RVP. 

We assume—at present this is only a hypothesis—that our theoretical investigations relate also to the combustion of powders, and especially to smokeless powders. Classical internal ballistics does not consider the question of the intimate mechanism and stages of the chemical reactions which comprise the essence of powder combustion. However, many of Belyaev s arguments and our—Frank-Kamenetskii and the author—work remain applicable. The presently proposed hypothetical scheme of powder combustion differs only in that, instead of reversible evaporation, we must speak of a primary (irreversible) reaction transforming the powder into a gas, but not into the final combustion products, followed by the reaction of combustion proper, accompanied by the release of the primary part of the reaction heat. 

Much attention has been garnered by principles of communication that professionals are advised to follow. Well-known examples are seven principles articulated for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accept and involve the public as a legitimate partner (see our Chapter 4) plan carefully and evaluate efforts (Chapter 4) listen to the public s specific concerns (Chapter 4) be honest, frank, and open coordinate and collaborate with other credible sources meet the needs of the media and speak clearly and with compassion (Covello and Allen 1988). Those and related principles have face validity and often practical utility despite their apparent obviousness and abstractness. For example, treating your constituents as though they are ignorant, hysterical, self-interested, or ideologically... 

You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty I am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and / frankly admit that / am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of the mathematical schemes which nature presents us. You must have felt this too the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationship, which nature suddenly spreads out before... 

The International Hot Atom Chemistry Symposium began in 1959 and ended in 1987. Frankly speaking, the boom of hot atom chemistry was over, although still some important works are to be noted. Hot atom chemistry has already gathered lots of information on the chemical effects of nuclear transformations, which may be available for other radio- and nuclear chemists. It is reasonable to believe, however, that hot atom chemistry also has future possibilities in the field of nonnuclear chemical processes. 

Often manufacturers and salespeople demonstrate the effectivity of derivative devices on spectra of holmium glass filters by taking the steepest peaks. Frankly speaking, this test is meaningless, because differentiation of steep peaks is unnecessary the peaks are resolved sufficiently. Therefore, for checking the resolution potential the holmium peak between 430 and 470 nm (Amax 447.0, Fig. 4-2 a) is not a valid example. But the maxima at 418.5, 537.5 or 636.5 nm (Fig. 4-2b, c and d) can be used. The signal at 447 nm may only be taken to estimate the AA shift. 

Frankly speaking, in the present era of modern controls and integration, it is rather difficult to really distinguish between them. So depending on control functions, intelligent control type may be decided. For further details, refer to Chapter Vll [5],... 

As part of natural discussions, a question (already discussed in Clause 2.2 of Chapter VII) of whether the two systems, viz. BPCS and SIS are separate independent or if there are possibilities for integrating them. Frankly speaking, there is no clear advice/ directive available from latest versions of lEC 61508/61511 or ISA 84- In the first edition of ISA 84, clear separation was mentioned, but in later revision, such directive is not clear. Clearly there are two schools of thought, and manufacturers may advocate for integration but it is better for end-user to utilize own judgment in deciding the same. This is because end-user is ultimately responsible. 

Frankly speaking, Bayes rule involves the manipulation of conditional probabilities. However, there exists a sharp difference in classical and Bayesian approaches. The major difference between the Bayesian and classical approaches to statistical inference is in the definition of probability. The classical approach asserts that the probability of a fair coin tossed, landing heads is 14 after repetitive tests. In contrast to this, as per Bayesian approach, will say that the probability a coin lands heads is Vz expressing a degree of belief, and would argue that based on the symmetry of the coin, there is no reason to think that one side is more likely to come up than the other side. This definition of probability is usually termed subjective probability [1]. The classical approach uses probability to express the frequency of certain types of data to occur over repeated trials. The Bayesian approach uses probability to express belief in a statement about unknown quantities. This will be clearer from the difference between the two approaches which have divided statistical approaches in two clear divisions, i.e. now in statistics there are two schools of thoughts ...
