Their Mistakes

Encourage your staff to make their mistakes in the classroom, not on the job ... 

Thanks are due to the staffs of the companies where the incidents occurred for allowing me to describe their mistakes to many colleagues, past and present, especially to Professor F. P. Lees for his ideas and advice and to the UK Science and Engineering Research Council and the Leverhulme Trust for their financial support. 

Testing and QC are discussed but often the least understood. Usually it involves the inspection of materials and products as they complete different phases of processing. Products that are within specifications proceed, while those that are out of specification are either repaired or scrapped. Possibly the workers who made the out-of-spec products are notified so they can correct their mistake. 

You might argue that all this probably just goes to show that the solutions to most problems in switching power are really very tricky and even the experts fumble sometimes. That is in fact true, but the system works as long as these experts also display the necessary expertise to quickly recognize their mistakes, pull such products from the marketplace, and redesign them. Waffles can t replace wafers. 

Finally, the consistency across various studies in the finding of spillovers of DTCA to other brands with little or no impact on own-brand is striking. As advertisers learn from their mistakes and become more sophisticated, the results for own-brand DTCA may change. Controversies on whether DTCA and, for that matter, other forms of advertising are informative and market-expanding versus persuasive and market share stealing are likely to continue for some time. 

The management literature is full of exhortations about the importance of managers having freedom to learn from their mistakes. Learning from the experience of an achievement is an equally satisfactory - and much more gratifying - way of learning and developing. A failure may precipitate much salutary reflection. But development eventually needs to be consolidated by success. 

Crystalline form,—Lithium nitrate crystallizes in rhombohedra (trigonal system).15 P. W. Bridgman observed no new form of lithium nitrate between 20° and 200°, and press, between 1 and 12,000 kgrms. per sp. cm. The older authorities—e.g. P. Kremers—supposed this salt to be trimorphic, but the supposed polymorphism is probably due to their mistaking hydrates for polymers of the anhydrous salt. It is doubtful if lithium nitrate is isomorphous with silver or sodium nitrate, although J. W. Retgers says that sodium and lithium nitrates are isomorphous.

While it would appear intuitive that companies, as a matter of course, would try to correct their mistakes, research indicates that over 17 percent of companies do nothing following a service failure or mistake and that as many as one-third of the service recovery initiatives are unacceptable to the consumer (Kelly, Hoffman, and Davis, 1993). The paradox of service... 

Let the pretended strong, minds, the materialists, ignorant and little accustomed to reflect seriously, consider themselves in good faith, and follow step by step this little detail of Man, and they will soon recognize their mistake and the weakness of their principles. They will see that their ignorance causes them to confound the king with the minister, and the subjects, the Soul with the mind and the body. Finally, that a prince is responsible both for his own actions and those of his minister, when the latter acts by his order, or with his consent and approbation. 

The CASPiE modules that each author creates should guide students through an independent research experience in which they learn the research process by experiencing both the challenges and rewards of research. The research question each author chooses to address, therefore, needs to be, in the words of one author, a question which is both answerable and a question which is worth answering (Module author 4). Students need to make mistakes and then correct their mistakes. In doing so, they are making authentic contributions to the research project. One author reflected on the students research work in his module ... 

Glass companies do not try to make poor-quality glassware, nor are they intent on selling their mistakes. However, mistakes happen and sometimes the mistakes get by quality control. Regardless, the final quality control person is the customer. 

Following Topfer, scientists and politicians have to and should be allowed to admit their mistakes. Finally, it is absolutely impossible to decide on the basis of complete information. If we questioned ourselves and our decisions in the way Einstein did, then tolerance in society would increase. Each decision entails responsibility. For example, so-called geoengineering (i.e. technical interference with natural life cycles also mentioned as an option by Weizsacker) should at least be discussed in our modern world because societies - for example, in nuclear policy - have to react to potential mistakes of their neighbors, too. Topfer demanded, above all, the early integration of science in political decisions. With the Ethics Committee, Germany has shown how possible interaction of science and politics can work. 

Rule 3 Always pay attention as you work. Watch other students you are impacted by their mistakes. 

You know, "jurists hide their mistakes in jails physicians, in graves." Chemists are in a privileged position. Our mistakes inflict no great damages to humans (except for those to the Environment). 

Regrettably, the authors have only themselves to blame for their mistakes. We thank in advance our scientific colleagues who understandingly forgive any mistakes made often in the interest of clarity—somewhat tarnished by exubelant style—over precision. We thank them in advance for correcting us. 

WATER OF THE PHILOSOPHERS — Some chemists have erroneously considered this to be Distilled Vinegar, others Brandy made from Wine, others again Rectified Spirit of Wine, following a statement of Raymond Lully, that the Quintessence is extracted from Wine, and is sometimes called Wine by the same writer. They would have seen their mistake had they remembered that Lully himself gives warning that this is not to be literally understood, and that when he says the Mercury of the Philosophers is obtained from Wine, he is speaking by similitude only, and that this Mercury or Philosophical Water is actually derived from the Red Sea of the Philosophers. 

Because the observed MFEs and MIEs on Trp and Te at such high fields (0-1.34 T) could not be explained by the ordinary AgM and HFCM, the author s group proposed the relaxation mechanism in 1984 and succeeded in interpreting such novel MFEs and MIEs [2]. In 1997, however, Tanimoto et al. reported that they had found no MIE on trp for the same reactions of the benzophenone isotopes [3]. They have recently realized their mistakes and confirmed our results on the existence of the MIEs in these reaetions [4]. 

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are critical components of the translation machinery for protein synthesis in every living cell (1). Each aaRS enzyme in this family links a single amino acid covalently to one or more tRNA isoacceptors to form charged tRNAs. Identity elements within the tRNAs serve as molecular determinants or antideterminants that aid in selection by cognate aaRSs (2). Some aaRSs also have an amino acid editing mechanism to clear their mistakes (3). The canonical aaRSs and aaRS-like proteins have functionally diverged to perform many other important roles in the cell (4, 5). Their versatility and adaptability have provided unique opportunities to develop biotechnology tools and to advance medical research.

Article 33.2 ia important I Be sure in making new combinations to give a reference as complete as possible ( full and direct ) to the basionym or replaced synonym ( base ). Many authors after 1 January 1953 have offended against this rule and shamefacedly had to publish another article correcting their mistake (this will of course add to the number of your publications...). The Code has some leniency for errors as is shown by the Examples 4-6 and Art. 

In Chap. 2 student s misconceptions and strategies for overcoming them will be discussed in the sense that young people have mostly observed their environment in a right and proper way, that they are not responsible for their mistakes . An expansion on this idea will be presented that - besides the known preconcepts - there are also school-made misconceptions which arise in advanced science courses and which do not stem so much from the learners but rather from the teachers and the textbooks or from the specific complexity of some subjects.
