Styles of thinking (technology transfer) The characteristic of the way that people think (analyst, idealist, pragmatist, reahst, synthesist). An important consideration in communication during technology transfer. See also Technology transfer. 

In mesoscopic physics, because the geometries can be controlled so well, and because the measurements are very accurate, current under different conditions can be appropriately measured and calculated. The models used for mesoscopic transport are the so-called Landauer/Imry/Buttiker elastic scattering model for current, correlated electronic structure schemes to deal with Coulomb blockade limit and Kondo regime transport, and charging algorithms to characterize the effects of electron populations on the quantum dots. These are often based on capacitance analyses (this is a matter of thinking style - most chemists do not consider capacitances when discussing molecular transport junctions). 

Fleck s characterization of the thought-style of "modem scientific thinking, especially in the natural sciences," suggests that he considered scientific practice to differ in some important respects from other social or ideological practices ... 

Football coach Tom Landry was known for his cool demeanor and kind nature. He was the first head coach for the Dallas Cowboys and held the position for over 20 years. His t-bars clearly reflect the winning style of the 70 s Dallas Cowboy teams. He passed away in 2000 to an outpouring of emotion from family and friends. Notice the fluid thinking in the T and L of his name and the high t-bars throughout the writing. 

The best thing you can do to prepare for an essay exam is to think about the purpose of the exam, and the purpose of many essay exams is to test whether you have learned the material or not. These are the types of exams you are likely to have in your science, history, or psychology classes. For these exams, you will need to focus on the material you learned in class and in your textbook. In a composition class, the purpose of an essay exam will be to test your writing skills. For this kind of essay, you should put more emphasis on the form and style of your writing. 

Ph.D. chemists joining the pharmaceutical industry in America come, literally, from all over the world (one of the great strengths in America). The support and technical personnel usually come from more local universities and technical schools. Most need quite a bit of training in the practical chemistry techniques and most have had no, or little, experience in working, like the old-style apprentice, in industrial laboratories, particularly with the kind of thinking and modern instrumentation needed to address problems in a multidisciplinary and quantitative way. 

Jeff Joseck is a staff engineer with Union Carbide. He developed this clever quiz and kindly offered it for publication. It stimulates the Process Safety Engineer or the Loss Prevention Engineer to think about acceptable and minimal risks. A few minor changes were made in Jeff s quiz to better fit the style of this chapter. 

The life of George Gamow (pronounced Gam-off) reads like a mix of suspense fiction and fairy tale. Blond, six-foot-three-inches tall, with milk-bottle thick glasses, he combined brilliant thinking with clever jokes and a clear, humorous style of writing about science for the public. 

Professional socialization is the dynamic process whereby students learn about the professional role and the expectations of performance in that role (Chalmers et al., 1995). As part of the socialization process, individuals learn formal and informal values, attitudes, beliefs, standards of practice, styles of communication, and modes of interaction as they are socialized into becoming health care professionals. They are trained to think and act in certain ways that are consistent with the ways of their profession (Muldary,... 

A second requirement for the development of compassion is empathy. Empathy is a recognition of a feeling/thinking state in another,/>/mj an ability to at least partially experience that same state in yourself. Thus empathy ties in with self-knowledge. To recognize that someone is depressed, for example, could be done in a cold, intellectual way. You could learn that certain facial expressions, body postures, and styles of speaking usually mean that a person is depressed. To also emotionally know what it is like to feel depressed from your own experience leads to the experience of empathy. This does not necessarily mean that you must feel as depressed as the depressed person you are empathizing with.
