Working efficiency

Electrochemical detectors sense electroreducible and electrooxidizable compounds at low concentrations. Eor these detectors to work efficiently, the mobile phase (solvent) must be conductive and not subject to electrochemical decomposition. 

A fume cupboard should be sited to avoid disturbances to the fume cupboard, its operator, and other personnel. It should not interfere with the escape route from the area in the event of an emergency. It should be sited to maximize the working efficiency of the cupboard and the area in which it is installed. Although specified dimensions and layout cannot guarantee performance, the values in Table 10.8 are based on experience and are widely used. 

This increase in productivity is accounted for partly by a decrease in absenteeism and accidents as well as a general increase in working efficiency. For example, Vernon (1918), found that when women in a munitions factory worked a 12-hour day they incurred 2.5 times more accidents than when they worked a 10-hour day. One of the more comprehensive studies of the effects of total hours of work was carried out after World War II by the U.S. Department of Labor (Kossoris and Kohler, 1947). This covered over 3500 men and women in 78 work units. Data were collected on accidents and absenteeism as well as productivity. The overall findings were that exceeding the 8-hour work day, 5 days/40 hours work week resulted in lower productivity and higher absenteeism and accident rates.

There is no basis for the theory that only when pushing the whole stroke vertically do the muscles work efficiently, and that the backward-and-foiward foot movement over the top and bottom wastes energy. Certainly, there is some efficiency loss, but it is minimal. Toe clips and better variable gear systems have further minimized top-dead-center problems associated with the standard circular sprocket design. 

For a steam turbine to work efficiently, it is neces-saity that the velocity of the tips of the turbine blades be proportional to the velocity of the input steam jet. If the velocity of the input steam jet is high, it is nec-essaity to increase the radius of the blades so that their tip velocity becomes correspondingly high. These long rotor blades subject the entire assembly to unmanageable mechanical stresses at high speed. 

First domestic gas water heater to work efficiently is developed. 

Insulation is one of those ubiquitous techniques that is always around, always impinging on our work, social and domestic activities and yet for most of the time is hardly noticed. Insulation is a passive product once installed, it works efficiently, quietly and continually, usually out of sight, enclosed within a structure or a casing or under cladding. 

While the majority of cooling tower installations work efficiently, the normal requirements of maintenance and good efficiency practice have still to be applied. This may not always be the case. Time for maintenance is limited, and plant engineers have other pressing problems or, as is well known, forget about the towers With the increasing economic and environmental pressures on the use of water, this situation must change. 

As well as understanding and optimising the working efficiency of the bioreactor it was also vital to optimise the efficiency of the fermentor - the micro-organism itself. The biochemistry of methanol utilisation is similar to that of methantrophs described in Section 4.9.2, and is shown in Figure 4.9. 

This fuel cell has shown promise for combined heat and power systems (CHP systems). In such systems, the waste heat is used to heat buildings or to do work. Efficiency in a CHP plant can reach 80%. These plants could replace heating plants and power sources in colleges and universities, hotels, and apartment buildings. 

These areas all promise substantial advances in improving our environment, but will not yield that promise in an atmosphere of on-again, off-again funding. Stability in the EPA research program over several years is needed to attract the best scientific and engineering research talents to these problems and to allow them to work efficiently on their solution. 

Short-term exposure limit (STEL) TLV — the concentration to which workers can be exposed continuously for short periods of time without suffering from irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue damage, or narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair self-rescue or materially reduce work efficiency, and provided that the daily TWA limit is not exceeded. A STEL is a 15 min TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during the work day even if the TWA is within the TLV. It should not occur more than four times per day or without at least one hour between successive exposures. 

It is worth noting that the Ullmann-Goldberg condensation of aryl halides with phenols and anilines worked efficiently in the presence of copper in water.50 For example, the coupling of 2-chlorobenzoic acid with 4-chlorophenol (K2C03/pyridine/copper powder) gave 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)carboxylic acid (Eq. 6.23).51 The Cu(I)-catalyzed transformation of 2-bromobenzoic acid into salicylic acid has also been studied in aqueous media (Eq. 6.24).52...

Thus far, the [5 + 2 + 1]-reaction works efficiently with alkynyl esters, amides, aldehydes, and ketones or an alkynyl-substituted allene44 as the two-carbon component (Scheme 58). Just as in the case of the [5 + 21-cycloaddition of VCPs and allenynes, the [5 + 2 + l]-reaction is selective for the allene over the alkyne subunit (Equation (35)). 

The improved CHIM technology has light equipment, convenient operation, low cost and high working efficiency, etc. 

As a result, 1-naphthylderivative (33) worked efficiently as anew copper complex combined with PI13CPF6 as the catalysts to provide highly stereoselectivly cis/trans (88/12)-chrysanthemic tert-butyl ester (34) in 96% ee [14]. The ester (34) was easily hydrolyzed in acidic conditions to give (l/f)-c .v//ran.v-chrysanthemic acid. The required amount of the copper complex was only 0.2 mol%. 

The [3+2] cycloaddition of trimethylenemethane (TMM) on the unsaturated lactam 288 worked efficiently with the use ofPd[P(0 Pr)3]4 (generated in situ from palladium(n) acetate (20mol%) and triisopropyl phosphite (160mol%)). The reaction proceeded cleanly in refluxing toluene to afford exclusively the desired cycloadduct 290 in 80% isolated yield (Equation 48) <2003TL5033>.
