TASK-like

However, this probe design is dedicated to a special turbine blade type and a special inspection task on this blade. But similar probe types and probe holders can be provided also for other engine types and for other inspection tasks like wall thickness measurement and crack detection in other zones of a blade. 

Even simple tasks like closing the curtains when the sun shines into a room or lowering the temperature when nobody is in the house can lead to substantial saving of 20-30% on the utility bill. Electronic faucets are not only more hygienic but also save water through the use of time out settings and low-flow aerators (see Fig. 6.9). 

Indian cultures to maintain alertness during tasks like hunting (Rudgley 1999). Guarana is now commercially cultivated and its use has increased in the West.

Catecholamines also appear to modulate this cortex (reviewed in Coull et ak, 2001). Studies in both monkeys and humans have found that clonidine, but not guanfacine, can impair alerting abilities in the Posner task, likely because of reducing NE release. Dopamine receptor blockade also impairs performance. 

Neurons are the specialized cells through which virtually all the processes that occur in the central nervous system take place, from the control of movement and autonomic functions like breathing to complicated tasks like producing conscious thoughts. Internally, neurons use a combination of chemical and electrical signals, while communication between neurons is done mainly through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. 

Impaired judgment, which can make everyday tasks like driving a car dangerous. 

As already mentioned, components of libraries produced by the original split-mix method are discrete compounds. If the libraries are cleaved from the solid support, however, mixtures are formed. The products of the liquid phase synthesis are always mixtures. At the beginnings, finding an active component in a mixture of thousands, or millions of structurally related compounds seemed to be a task like finding a needle in a haystack. Later on, however, reliable methods have been developed to solve this problem. All these methods are based on preparation and screening of properly designed partial libraries. 

They are no longer hyperresponsive to their environment and, for the first time, they focus on the object or task before them. For the first time in their lives they can accomplish a task like reading, which requires concentration, without responding to someone who s talking in the room. Some adults also take amphetamines before going to a party, because it cuts down on the peripheral distraction and the noisy... 

Seemingly minor tasks like proof reading become more difficult. 

With unusually hot weather lasting longer than two days, heat can build up in the enviromnent both at work and at home, and the body can become progressively dehydrated. Chronic dehydration can occur without any signs of thirst in its early stages it may be indicated by a lack of alertness. During heat spells, increase water consumption both on and off the job, and postpone nonessential tasks likely to cause severe heat strain until after the heat speU is over. For tasks which cannot be postponed, special measures should be taken, such as ... 

Retail release agents for home use are marketed as aerosols and occasionally as pump sprays. In this setting, the release agent will be used for everything from simple release tasks like pancakes and fried eggs to more challenging systems like cakes or muffins. Consequently, retail products are formulated with relatively high levels of lecithin to provide extra release for difhcult applications.

Tasks like controller design or the assessment of start-up procedures require dynamic simulation studies, which are supported by dynamic simulators such as gPROMS [916]. 

Structural Interpretation — It is helpful if a descriptor can be interpreted in a way that allows features of the chemical structure or even the entire chemical structure to be derived. This is particularly interesting, if a molecular descriptor is applied to the task like a spectrum in this case we could talk about an artificial spectrum. Several approaches exist that use such artificial spectra to compare them with experimental spectra — for instance, to derive experimental spectra that do not exist in a database. Descriptor/Property Correlation — This is one of the basic tasks for a descriptor descriptors are usually helpful for predicting properties or comparing properties of chemical compounds. 

Erickson and Tiberghien [6] show detailed research studies concerning pupils conceptions about mixing of water. Two basic types of situation are used (1) similar amounts of water at the same temperature are mixed and (2) both similar and different amounts of water at different temperatures are mixed (see Fig. 10.2). The results are shown in two diagrams (see Fig. 10.2) In a qualitative way, many pupils at least acknowledge that the final temperature should lie somewhere between the initial temperatures , the quantitative calculations come later it is not before the age of 12 or 13 that a task like that in Fig. 4.2d is solved [6].
