Work harder

The thermal parameters for comfort should be relatively uniform both spatially and temporally. Variations in heat flow from the body make the physiological temperature regulation more difficult. Nonuniform thermal conditions can lead to nonuniform skin temperatures. The active elements of the regulatory system may need to make more adjustments and work harder in order to keep thermal skin and body temperatures stable. To avoid discomfort from environmental nonuniformities, the temperature difference between feet and head should be less than about 3 °C (Fig. 5.9) and the mean surface temperature or radiant difference from one side of the body to the other should not he greater then about 10 °C. 

Cic it rally, the adsorption capacity of a dry bed unit decreases as the pressure is lowered. If the dehydrators are operated well below the design presMirc. the desiccant will have to work harder to remove the water and to maintain the desired effluent dew point. With the same volume i i incoming gas, the increased gas velocity, occurring at the lower prcssLiic., could also affect the effluent moisture content and damage the desiccant,... 

If not for the need to climb steep hills, bicycling at a 15 mph (24 kph) clip would never be a strenuous exercise. It takes approximately 82 watts, or 0.11 horsepower, on an efficient bicycle, to ride 15 mph on flat ground. But ground is seldom flat. That same 82 watts achieves only 8 mph climbing a barely discernible two percent grade. A five percent grade slows one down to just over 4 mph. Most riders don t want to slow down that much, so they work harder to maintain some speed. On descents, they work less hard, while going still faster. 

Keep pulleys aligned or excessive belt and pulley wear will occur. Shafts that are not parallel are very common and are the biggest contributor to early belt failure. In such cases, belts work harder on one side than on the other and wear faster. As a result, the entire belt set will need to be replaced. Misalignment in the pulley only is indicated by belt cover and pulley wear. 

In making these observations, we may only be providing an echo of C. P. Snow s The Two Cultures, based on his Rede lecture for Cambridge University [2]. Snow s main point was that the lack of communication between the sciences and the humanities was a regrettable situation rife with negative consequences. The Two Cultures was meant to be both an admonition to thinkers and an invitation to have scientists and humanists work harder at understanding each other. 

Perhaps the most intriguing perspective is that caffeine s major effects have little to do with muscles and fat metabolism but result from its psychostimulant effects, enhancing mood, improving attitude towards exercise, and thus motivating athletes to work harder and longer. This would account for its purported inability to alter strength, which may be a less psychologically malleable variable, while endurance performance is sometimes believed to be more amenable to force of will. 

Finally, reductionism can refer to an attitude toward science, an attitude that I term the hup-two-three school. Reductionists think that we can actually make progress in science. No problem is, in principle, impossible to solve. Perhaps we cannot solve it now, it looks too complicated, but if we only work harder, we can solve it. Anti-reductionists disagree. Some phenomena are simply too complicated to understand from a reductionistic perspective or by using reductionist methods. If these phenomena are to be understood at all, they will have to be understood from a more holistic perspective. In this connection, anti-reductionists view reductionists as Philistines. Reductionists simply do not understand the scope, depth and complexity of the phenomena that they are investigating. 

In individuals who took thyroid hormones, 80% of the weight lost was lean body mass (muscle and bone) rather than excess fat. People taking these extracts experienced muscle weakness and bone breakdown, which led to a condition called osteoporosis, in which bones are weakened and the risk of bone fractures or breaks is increased. Thyroid hormone extracts also made the heart work harder by increasing metabolism, which led to problems such as increased heart rate, palpitations, and irregular heartbeat. These problems were potentially life threatening When the heart beats abnormally (or not at all), it is unable to pump blood and oxygen to the brain and body. Individuals die suddenly from this condition because the brain can only function for a few minutes without oxygen and nutrients. 

We want to turn up the radio because it s noisy outside, and we want to hear what is broadcast. We therefore turn the volume knob toward loud . At its most basic, the volume control is a variable resistor, across which we pass a current from the battery, acting much like a kettle element. If we turn up the volume control then a larger current is allowed to flow, causing more energy to be produced by the resistor. As a listener, we hear a response because the sound from the speakers becomes louder. The speakers work harder. 

The number of wells manifolded to an individual pump primarily reflects the depth to groundwater, but is also in part dependent on the pump size. In low-permeability formations, wells are typically pumped dry. As long as the pumps sustain sufficient vacuum to all wells at the intake depth, LNAPL eventually enters the well and is evacuated. In higher-permeability formations, fluid is pumped consistently from each well at a maximum rate. In both low- and high-permeability formations, individual pumps work harder to pump from greater depths. Decreasing... 

A dehciency of amino acids resnlts in decreased production of albnmin in the liver, lowering its concentration in the plasma and hence the colloid osmotic pressure. Consequently, fluid is lost from the blood and its viscosity increased, so that the heart has to work harder to pnmp the same quantity of blood and eventually it may not be able to cope, especially as cardiac muscle is lost in prolonged starvation (Table 16.6). Death will then resnlt from cardiac failure.

Schoolsare working harder and meeting more needs today than ever before. Our schools are doing a better job than they did in the past—even though it may sometimes seem otherwise. Will Rogers summed it up well The schools are not as good as they used to be—and they never were. ... 

On the other hand, a low reflux drum temperature increases the solubility of H2S and NH3 in the reflux water. As the concentration of H2S and NH3 in the reflux increases, the stripper has to work harder, to keep these components out of the stripped water. 

The way we increase the fractionation efficiency of trays is to make the trays work harder. The correct engineering way to say this is To improve the separation efficiency between a light and heavy product, the vapor flow rate through the trays is increased, and the internal reflux flowing across the trays is increased. ... 

A CO concentration in air of only 200 ppm can produce symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and nausea, and a concentration of 1000 ppm can cause death within 4 hours. One hazard of cigarette smoking is chronic exposure to low levels of CO. Because CO reduces the blood s ability to carry O2, the heart must work harder to supply O2 to the tissues, thus increasing the risk of heart attack. 

What does this mean It means that when you retire you have a new human-relations chahenge. It means you should work harder to keep current friends and make new ones. How good you become at this can make a difference during your retirement years. 

Working harder does not equal working smarter. 

Charles Well, it goes like this... you see, I work harder and I am more effective than anybody else in the lab. I am the only guy that knows how to walk and chew gum (though I don t chew it in the lab) at the same time. I keep the HPLC running, and everybody comes to me when they have a problem isolating their compound. I make a lot of compounds because I set up a lot of reactions and purify them in parallel. That s why I m one of the most productive guys in the department. ...
