What Should be Done in the Future

What about the future The chemically modified electrode field is now quite mature. A large fraction of the necessary fundamental work has already been done. Hence, further development of commercial applications of modified-elec-trode technology must dominate future research efforts. Since such product development research is applied in nature, much of this research should be done in the private sector and/or by chemical and electrochemical engineers. This is... 

Slide Capacity and Clinical Volume A careful evaluation of clinical work-flow should be done in order to determine what instrument best meets the needs of the laboratory. Slide capacity, clinical volume, turnaround time, staffing, and future needs are examples of parameters that should be considered. The number of antibodies on the laboratory s menu should also be considered. A small lab with a limited number of antibodies can benefit from the closed type system, while larger labs with a larger antibody menu may find the open system more beneficial. 

Apart from these data analytical issues, the problem definition is important. Defining the problem is the core issue in all data analysis. It is not uncommon that data are analyzed by people not directly related to the problem at hand. If a clear understanding and consensus of the problem to be solved is not present, then the analysis may not even provide a solution to the real problem. Another issue is what kind of data are available or should be available Typical questions to be asked are is there a choice in instrumental measurements to be made and are some preferred over others are some variables irrelevant in the context, for example because they will not be available in the future can measurement precision be improved, etc. A third issue concerns the characteristics of the data to be used. Are they qualitative, quantitative, is the error distribution known within reasonable certainty, etc. The interpretation stage after data analysis usually refers back to the problem definition and should be done with the initial problem in mind. 

It is, of course, too early to predict all that might be accomplished with the IG program in the future. We have, however, some rather distinct preferences regarding what should be done which we would like to summarize here. First of all, the program, to be useful, must be able to work in the area of secondary ions, tertiary ions, etc., down to some lower limit on mass which would be set by the user. Hence, the IG should keep working on ions resulting from larger ions imtil this lower limit is reached. 

What can be done in research situations often is infeasible for routine decisions. Accordingly, there will always be a gulf between "research" and "practical" data. The ACS recommendations were directed largely at the latter type. While the recomoienda-tions may appear to encourage loss of quantitative information, the actual loss may have little significeuice in most cases due to quality considerations. However, no data should be edited in this or any other manner if so-doing would preclude its future use for an other-wise useful purpose. 

While an interview can measure arange of safety-related dimensions (see Chap. 3, Tables 3.3 and 3.4 for questions that can be used to measure an applicant s experience and expectations, respectively, in an employment interview), they are not particularly well suited to the measurement of aspects of safety such as safety motivation, participation, and compliance. The key problem is the possibility that the applicant will respond in a socially desirable way, and their response may have little relationship to their future on-the-job behavior. Rather than questioning job applicants directly about their safety attitudes (e.g., asking questions like Should safety have a high priority ), a structured interview can make use of either situational or behavioral questions to gain a perspective on the applicant s safety attimdes. Both situational and behavioral questions are based on scenarios or critical incidents which come directly from the job which the individual is being recruited for. The primary difference is that when using the behavioral format, the individual is asked what they have done in the described simation in the past, while in the situational format the applicant is asked what they would do in the particular situation. 

What should be done if both fossil-fuel and nuclear fission reactors are interdicted As Table IV shows, we are now left without usable, low-cost, large-scale energy supply sources and only the promise of better things to come if we can succeed in the cost-effective commercialization of large-scale solar or fusion technologies. During the foreseeable future, this will be unacceptable to people everywhere and will not be followed by their elected officials because the economic consequences would be calamitous and stable political structures could not survive. 

In the near future, NASA is planning to send a spaceship with humans to Mars. Discuss important concerns and issues that must be planned for on this trip. Investigate and discuss issues such as how long it would take to go to Mars and vdien the spaceship should be launched, considering that the distance between the earth and Mars changes based on where thqr are in their respective orbits around the sun. What t3q>e and how much food reserves are needed for this trip What type of exercise equipment should be on board so muscles won t atrophy on this long trip What should be done with die waste What is the en-ei requirement for such a trip What do you think... 

Scenario analysis Analysis involving the development of scenarios to predict the future. Two types of scenario analysis could be used - Exploratory which starts in the present and moves out to the future based on current trends, and Normative which leaps out to the future and works back to determine what should be done to achieve what is expected to occur. 

Secondly, the interdisciplinary nature of the subject of the workshop and of its participants, provide a singularly suitable forum to bring together a truly impressive representation of the pertinent scientific, technological and practitioning skills and expertise in a concerted-coordinated effort to assess what has been achieved to date, and what should be done to advance the state of the art even further in the immediate future. 

The RMP is a plan devised to mitigate or reduce the risk presented by a specific hazard. It involves establishing DSFs to reduce the likelihood or severity presented by a hazard after evaluating all options. It also involves obtaining concurrence from the appropriate organizations and disciplines involved in technical areas affected by the hazard. The RMP should identify the cost, schedule, materials, tasks, and responsibilities involved. The RMP may be a formal or informal plan. The RMP should include the specifics of what should be done, when it should be accomplished, who is responsible, and the funding required to implement the RMP. It is typically a formal plan when it must be presented to a risk acceptance authority for the approval of future development, maintenance, or repair work. 

Employees can be expected to continue doing what they have done in the past. This is why employee selection is vital to the future success of a company. A company should hire individuals who have proven that they can be valuable assets. This allows the company to enjoy a greater profit margin and therefore have a better position in the marketplace. 

The last chapter looks at the future and at what could or should be done In hop chemistry. A fairly large list of topics which are worthwhile studying is presented. This could very well be the most interesting chapter for readers involved in laboratory work and who are interested in furthering hop chemistry and hop utilization. 

Make As-Is and To-Be Models. This can be done at several levels business, system requirements, and system design.4 The as-is model keeps fairly strictly to what exists at the present. (Because of ad-hoc changes over the years, it may be horrible. You re allowed some omissions when early reworking is an obvious necessity.) The to-be model is your vision of the ideal future. In practice, you should also make an intermediate near-term objective. It is often useful to abstract from the as-is model a truly essential model of what must be done the as-is was the previous refinement of this model, and the to-be will be an alternative, improved refinement (see Figure 13.6).
