Tasks accomplishment

The first step in DNA sequencing is to cleave the enormous chain at known points to produce smaller, more manageable pieces, a task accomplished by the use of restriction endonucleases. Each different restriction enzyme, of which more than 3500 are known and approximately 200 are commercially available, cleaves a DNA molecule at a point in the chain where a specific base sequence occurs. For example, the restriction enzyme Alul cleaves between G and C in the four-base sequence AG-CT. Note that the sequence is a palindrome, meaning that the sequence (5 )-AGCT-(3 ) is the same as its complement (3 )-TCGA-(5 ) when both are read in the same 5 — 3 direction. The same is true for other restriction endonucleases. 

Most important, however, all the elements of The Survival Manual come together in focusing on the importance of task accomplishment in a way which demonstrates the author s awareness that communication which does not efficiently meet the needs of its audience is little more than pedantry unsuitable to the time, place, and company. 

But applications usually need a different type of computing environment. The reasoning task, accomplished by AI techniques, often constitutes ten percent or less of the code of an application. The majority of the code is for conventional programming tasks, such as data acquisition, data base access, numerical calculations, and graphics. In each application domain, computer hardware and software has been selected to match the needs of its tasks. In... 

Low task/low relationship. The leader turns over all decisions and responsibility for task accomplishment, goal attainment, and implementation to followers. The leader may be available for consultation but usually maintains a low profile. In this case, also called delegation, followers are very able, willing, and secure (R4). 

An area that might be especially fruitful is the application of statistical methods. Because of the technical, social, and economic aspects of the problems, sufficient resources never will be available to conserve everything that should be conserved. Therefore, records keepers must know at all times what is in their collections, what needs restoration, the cost of restoration, the cost of storage, alternate procedures and the costs thereof, and the organizational structures necessary to get the tasks accomplished. 

The major emotional benefits are pleasure, sense of task accomplishment, and caring for loved ones. These emotional attributes are generally reinforced through the product aesthetics, the package labels, and the advertising. 

Whereas in the previous section we reviewed various model formalisms and the questions they can answer, in this section we concentrate on the more difficult and challenging problem of how such models can be obtained. Model construction is usually intercepted as a tedious manual task accomplished by experienced professionals. In some cases, however, this task can be automated, and a model can be computationally inferred directly from experimental data, a problem usually referred to as reverse engineering. 

The tasks accomplished by analytical reaction GC are varied but basically they fall into four distinct categories ... 

As shown in Eq. 14.18, the activity of the irradiated foil is proportional to the neutron flux. Determination of the flux requires measurement of the activity, a task accomplished as follows. 

This chapter deals with the analysis and decomposition of only the physical aspects of tasks. It is assumed that nonphysical resources are either available in nonlimiting quantities or are not crucial to task accomplishment While the compartmentalization of task characteristics tends to blur the natural connections among the various human performance resources, it is still the most pragmatic method available for task analysis. 

The steam system loadings are shown in Figure 19.6 with the above tasks accomplished. 

The need for power is probably the most misinterpreted of McClelland s three needs. Power, in this context, does not necessarily mean insidious and tyrannical control over people but rather the ability to positively influence others. Managers often have high power and achievement profiles. They have a need to get tasks accomplished through the use of and influence over subordinates in the organiza-... 

A crucial contribution was the crystallization of the active hormone. It was a painstaking task, accomplished by Kendall, who by Christmas day, 1914, had succeeded in preparing a small amount of an active hormone. If one can imagine the thrill experienced by a young man making such a critical discovery, one can conceive of his frustration when for an entire year, Kendall found it impossible to prepare another crystalline sample of his precious hormone. But after 15 months, Kendall s success was complete, and within a few years he had crystallized enough material to elucidate its physiological and some of its chemical properties.
