Status charts

Analytical trees can be used in a variety of ways in the system safety effort. The most common application of analytical trees in current system safety programs is probably the use of fault trees for fault tree analysis (FTA). However, analytical trees can also be used as planning tools, project description documents, status charts, and feeder documents for several hazard analysis techniques (including fault tree analysis). Analytical trees can be multipurpose, life cycle documents and represent one of the most useful tools available to managers, engineers, and safety professionals. 

Positive or objective trees are extremely useful planning tools. In the early stages of a project, they can be used to outline project requirements and list alternatives. As decisions are made, they evolve into graphic checklists and also make excellent status charts and project description documents. 

Figure 10-3 Avoid internal transfers. Internal transfers tend to distort the importance of certain branches of the tree and make the tree difficult to use as a status chart or checklist.

During the purchasing and acquisition process, the tree can be used as a status chart (Fig. 10-13). The current status of each item can be depicted on the tree in the manner shown, or the tree can be color coded with highlighters or colored pushpins. 

Figure 10-13 Status chart. The tree can be used as a status chart for the project by making notations and/or by color coding.

All milestones are on schedule except 2.4.1a which was delayed due to the difficulty in the GTE subcontract. Table 8 contains the key to major milestones and Figure 14 the milstones status chart. 

A high signal into either input stabilizes the circuit. Because of the circuit symmetry it is only necessary to demonstrate this for one case. This behavior is shown by the output status chart of Table 1.23. 

Most facilities keep records on the operating status of the plant, usually in the form of monthly status reports or a chart that displays production level versus days, weeks, or months over the plant life. Changes in plant status are generally noted by date on either of these two data sources, but may also be logged separately. This information is important so that an accurate count of the number of hours spent in each plant state (operating versus nonoperating) and number of demands due to plant state changes can be used for reliability and risk analysis. 

Another helpful tool is a project control chart, which uses budget and schedule plans in a quick status report of the project. It compares actual to plan, calculates a variance on each task completed, and tallies a cumulative variance for the project. 

Immediately before and after treatment with the mucolytic acetylcysteine, the nurse auscultates the lung and records the finding of both assessments on the patient s chart. Between treatments, the nurse evaluates the patient s respiratory status and records these finding on the patient s chart. These evaluations aid the primary health care provider in determining the effectiveness of therapy. If any problem occurs during or after treatment, or if the patient is uncooperative, the nurse discusses the problem with the primary health care provider. 

When these drugs are given to the female patient with inoperable breast carcinoma, tire nurse evaluates the patient s current status (physical, emotional, and nutritional) carefully and records tire finding in tire patient s chart. Problem areas, such as pain, any limitation of motion, and the ability to participate in tire activities of daily living, are carefully evaluated and recorded in tiie patient s record. The nurse takes and records vital signs and weight. Baseline laboratory tests may include a complete blood count, hepatic function tests, serum electrolytes, and serum and urinary calcium levels. The nurse reviews these tests and notes any abnormalities. 

For method development and display of the run status, a flow-chart of the TraceCon preconcentration system is used to visuahze the current system state. During the execution of a method the flow chart displays the current activity of the TraceCon apparatus in the run mode. Run errors can also be easily identified, so that runs can be aborted if parts of the system fail. 

Because of these considerations, it is best to view the charts as a snapshot of the status of state gun control laws in 2004 rather than as a definitive reference. 

FICU RE 6 4A. Prospective daily life chart ratings of a patient s mood as determined by nurses blind to medication status. Boxes above the horizontal hne (euthymia) represent mild, moderate, or severe mania. Boxes below the hne represent mild, moderate, or severe depression. A complete record of all the patient s medications for each day of the study is presented below each life chart hne. Numbers indicating the day of the patient s hospitahzation are in 2-month intervals. 

Operator interface with system is via a two position operator s console. Each operator has two working color CRTs and a custom keyboard. A fifth single CRT dedicated to alarm displays is shared by both operator positions. Additional equipment includes multi-pen chart recorders, alarm logger and report typer. The operator monitors operations via continuously updated custom graphic displays, status and alarm reports on the CRTs and can call up displays and execute control commands by using special function push buttons in the keyboard. 

Chart of nuclei. The stable isotopes are represented by black squares. The known isotopes are indicated in addition to the magic proton and neutron numbers. The smooth lines enclose regions with a nuclear deformation B 0.2. Those isotopes are marked by open bars where optical spectroscopy yielded information on nuclear ground state properties in long isotopic chains. This picture gives the status as of September 1985. 

In particular, soil color should be determined on dry and moist samples using Munsell Soil Color Charts (1994). Soil color is usually the first property recorded in a morphological description of soils (and may be the only feature of significance to a layperson) and provides an indicator of redox status because soil color relates to soil aeration and organic matter content (Fitzpatrick, McKenzie, and Maschmedt 1999). Soil color has been found to be extremely useful in forensic soil identification by Sugita and Marumo (1996). 

A wide range of preprogrammed search facilities is available, with all sorts of selection modes (by report number, time period, unit, status, causal code, and any combination of these). From these analyses, output files may be generated for more advanced statistical packages. Graphics facilities enable analysis results to be displayed as pie-charts, etc., for easy and fast interpretation. 

Following are the hydrogen production spreadsheets that are the basis for Chapter 5 in this report. As noted there, these charts are for different combinations of feedstock, status of technology (current versus possible future), and whether or not sequestration of carbon dioxide is required at facilities processing hydrocarbon feedstock. A modified version of Table 5-2, with additional pathways, is included here as Table E-l for convenience in following the charts. This table lists the code for each pathway as used for identification in the charts. 

What our chart demonstrates is that if one product jumps to the OTC sector, then the most profitable strategy is the one with dual status, because Rx category profitability will decline given the OTC opportunity.
