Sustaining the Change

To put into the proper perspective, the following was summarized and modified to fit this text from an article written by Donald H. Theune [9]. Note that the following is a modified quote from this approved source. 

This pattern should be familiar to everyone who drives an automobile. But the behavior is not about driving. It is about the persistent, tenacious belief patterns that can take hold. It is about personal protective equipment, following safety protocols, and making the change from risktaking to risk avoidance [9]. 

According to the National Safety Council, 96% of all injuries are caused by human factors or error. Ongoing research by the Topf Organization reveals that two primary types of behavior cause injury  

Even when safety training is provided and the appropriate personal protective equipment is used, injuries still persist. This is because unproductive belief systems are extremely tenacious. According to Theune, to cut through the myths and the persistent belief patterns, we must penetrate through several layers to reach the individual at the deepest or self level [9]. 

The physical level is where our actions and behaviors take place and is observable.

A key feature implicitly included in the use of organic fibers for tire reinforcement is the abiHty to retain strength and modulus characteristics at elevated temperatures (80—120°C for most tires) sufficient to sustain service demands. Thus, a tire which may appear to be overdesigned at room temperature is, in many cases, reflecting the changes in properties experienced at operating temperatures. 

Steady-state regulation is the change in sustained speed or pressure (expressed as a percentage of rated) when power or flow output is gradually reduced from rated value to zero.

The oscillation at a liquid liquid interface or a liquid membrane is the most popular oscillation system. Nakache and Dupeyrat [12 15] found the spontaneous oscillation of the potential difference between an aqueous solution, W, containing cetyltrimethylammo-nium chloride, CTA+CK, and nitrobenzene, NB, containing picric acid, H" Pic . They explained that the oscillation was caused by the difference between the rate of transfer of CTA controlled by the interfacial adsorption and that of Pic controlled by the diffusion, taking into consideration the dissociation of H Pic in NB. Yoshikawa and Matsubara [16] realized sustained oscillation of the potential difference and pH in a system similar to that of Nakache and Dupeyrat. They emphasized the change of the surface potential due to the formation and destruction of the monolayer of CTA" Pic at the interface. It is... 

Halogen bonding is also observed with electron-poor bromides, and so attempts were made to form complexes between stilbazole and fcromopenta-fluorobenzene. We were never able to find evidence that such a complex formed and indeed, heating crystallised samples only reproduced the thermal behaviour of the stilbazoles themselves. Thus, any halogen bonding is supposed weak (there was no observable colour change in the stilbazole) and unable to sustain the complex at temperatures much above ambient.

A typical electrocapillarity system is shown in Figure 2.1(a). The mercury reservoir provides a source of clean mercury to feed a capillary tube the height of mercury in this tube can be varied such that the mass of the Hg column exactly balances the surface tension between the mercury and the capillary walls, see Figure 2.1(b). A voltage V is applied across the mercury in the capillary and a second electrode which is non-polarisable (i.e. the interface will not sustain a change in the potential dropped across it), such as the normal hydrogen electrode, NHE. The potential distribution across the two interfaces is shown in Figure 2.1(c). As can be seen ...
