...Ethical Filter Paper Shemina Bhojani MMPBL/500 February, 01, 2010 Mr. Whiteley Ethical Filter Paper Ethical values are a formal system or set of rules governing the conduct of a person or members of a profession by which decisions are made about right and wrong, should and shouldn’t, good and bad (Values, Morals and Ethics, 2010). In our daily lives we come across so many issues. Some of these issues can be categorized into medical ethics, legal ethics, business ethics, and personal ethics but the ways of relating to such issues are derived from basic ethical values (Ethical Values as Part of the Definition of Business Enterprise and Part of the Internal Structure of the Business Organization, 1998). The basic Ethical values that I feel are very important are Honesty, Integrity, Building Trust, Respect, and Being Responsible. I value these Ethical Values that I have earned and I admire people who have such values because not only do these values build ones image but at the same time through these values people have a positive perception of peers and organizations are willing to work together for mutual benefits. This paper comprises detailed descriptions and analysis of the identified Ethical values. I will culminate by discussing how implementing these values make a difference in our personal and professional life. Honesty It refers to a facet of moral character and denotes positive, virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness...

...Background George Stein comes from a middle class family that values the importance of education. He is currently a college mechanical engineering student who is out of school for summer break. George did not see a future in educations however, his parents voiced they would bless his marriage the following year if he continued with college. In order to earn extra money he began to work at the Eastern Dairy plant. Eastern Dairy paid George double the amount he was use to making in the past and he was also a member of the labor union. (Buller & Schuler, 2003) Eastern Dairy produce ice cream mix as well as milkshake mix. The ice cream is prepared in 5 gallon and 10 gallon sizes for various companies to sell under their own name. The milkshake mix is only prepared in 5 gallon sizes and is sold to local restaurants and fast food places. (Buller & Schuler, 2003) George works the night shift and he really enjoys his job and fellow co-workers. One of the things George notices right away is that the crew doesn’t have to worry about bosses looking over their shoulders because no higher management/supervisors are assigned to the night shift. Paul is the person on the night shift left in charge of production and oversees any problems that may occur. Paul likes to take it easy and have fun. One night all the employees played around and used supplies to entertain themselves. The night shift only has two responsibilities. The first responsibility is to run and conclude the production orders...

...have formed quite the comradery. Paul, one of the assembly workers on the night shift, has become somewhat of a self elected supervisor of the shift. All of the employees of the night shift get along very well and enjoy their time together thoroughly which has allowed George to really enjoy his time at work. One night they are faced with a problem regarding the filtration of the mix. All the filters are getting clogged up due to a bad batch of mix filled with maggots. Now, the employees can either repeatedly unclog the filters and reattach them over and over until all the mix has completed the filtration process or they can remove all the filters and allow the maggots to stay in the mix until it has gone through the homogenizer and the pasteurization process, which according to Paul will “Pulverize” all solid matter and destroy any bacteria. The issue with constantly removing, unclogging and reattaching the filters is that it will slow down the filtering process so much that George and his fellow employees will have to stay past the end of their sift. Paul advises George to take the filters out so that they all can get home after their shift but George does not feel comfortable doing so. This leaves George with a difficult choice. George is having a difficult...

...Tropical Storm Charley In August 2004, tropical storm Charley hit North Carolina and the Optima Air Filter Company. Many employees’ homes were devastated, and the firm found that it had to hire almost three completely new crews, one for each of its shifts. The problem was that the “old timers” had known their jobs so well that no one had ever bothered up job description for them. When about 30 new employees began taking their places, there was general confusion about what they should do and how they should do it. The storm quickly became old news to the firm out – of – state customers, who wanted filters, not excuses. Phil Mann, the firm’s president, was at his wits end. He had about 30 new employees, 10 old – timers, and his original factory supervisor, Maybelline. He decided to meet with Linda Lowe, a consultant from the local university’s business school. She immediately had the old – timers fill out a job questionnaire that had listed all their duties. Arguments ensued almost at once: Both Phil and Maybelline thought the old – timers were exaggerating to make themselves look more important, and the old – timers insisted that the lists faithfully reflected their duties. Meanwhile, the customers clamored for their filters. Questions: 1. Should Phil and Linda ignore the old – timers’ protest and write up the job description as they see fit? Why? Why Not? ✓ No, Phil and Linda should not completely ignore the protest and here is why. Despite the exaggeration...

...added to DCM solution until it longer clumped. The solution was filtered to separted the CaCl2 pellets from DCM. DCM was used to wash pellets before filtering. To the solid in bottom of flask, (3ml) of propanol was added, heated and cooled. Filteration was tried once more to gain crystals. Due to nonexistent crystals a melting point could not be performed. Observations: We noticed after adding propanol our solution became very orange and cloudy. After heating it the solution was a clear golden color. We chilled the solution in ice and attained no crystals. After repeatedly heating and cooling, we saw our solution go from cloudy to clear over and over. After filtering one more time the color of orange stained the filter paper but no crystals. Data Melting Point: expected: 131- 132 (C Conclusion We concluded if this experiment had gone the way expected we would have a melting point of 131-132 (C. We believe this error was due to excessive amount of DCM prior to filtering when we tried to get all of the solution out of the reaction tube. We believe we had too small of a volume to attain crystals. We...

...Activated Charcoal: Good or Bad? Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated with oxygen, which makes it more porous and increases its surface area. This also increases its capacity to absorb gases and liquids, which works by chemically binding the impurities to the carbon surface. Activated charcoal is most typically utilized to remove odorous substances from the atmosphere. Wood, peat, coconut shells, coal and sawdust are the most common materials used for making activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is most commonly found in aquarium filters, drinking-water filters and air filters; and has a role in the treatment of ingested poisons for humans. What is Charcoal? Charcoal is produced from the combustion of plant material, most typically wood, and closely resembles coal. It is extensively produced in the developing world, where it is used as a fuel for cooking and heating requirements. It is produced by heating wood at a low temperature in the absence of oxygen. All that remains after this process is the black carboniferous material know as charcoal. Activated Charcoal for Human Health Activated charcoal is utilized in human health, particularly in the treatment of poisoning, where it is ingested to counter the effects of a chemical. It is generally produced in a powdered form, which can be mixed with water and consumed as a suspension, or as a food supplement for where it comes in small, readily digested tablets or capsules. This form of activated charcoal...

...HEPA filters in vacuum cleaners tend to use two quite different mechanisms to clean the airstream. First, there are one or more outer filters that work like sieves to stop the larger particles of dirt, dust, and hair. Inside those filters, there is a concertina of what looks like folded paper designed to trap the smaller particles. The paper is actually a mat of very dense glass fibers and, unlike the gauze, it doesn't simply filter out small dust particles like a sieve. Instead, it uses three different mechanisms to catch dust particles as they pass through in the moving airstream. At high air speeds, some particles are caught and trapped as they smash directly into the fibers, while others snag on the fibers as they try to brush by. At lower air speeds, dust particles tend to wander about more randomly through the filter (a process known as Brownian motion after its discoverer, Scottish botanist Robert Brown) and may stick to its fibers as they do so. Together, these three mechanisms allow HEPA filters to catch particles that are both larger and smaller than a certain target size. The fibers in the HEPA filters trap dust and dirt particles in three ways. Some particles crash into filter fibers and are absorbed by impact. Some are caught as they flow along in the moving airstream, move too close to a fiber and are trapped by interception. At lower air speeds, some are trapped by diffusion (when randomly moving dust and air particles crash into one another and some are...

...or contaminants get removed by the filtering, evaporating and separation that occurs during the recrystallization. Results After recrystallizing the salicylic acid we calculated the percentage recovery. The result we achieved was not what we had expected. We had expected some of the acid to have been lost and the recovery be reduced. The results we got showed that only 51.5% of the acid remained after the crystallisation. This was surprising because almost half of the original substance of salicylic acid had gone. The original mass was 2 grams, after the crystallisation it was 1.03 grams. The reason I believe that the recovery was only 51.5% was because when filtering the solution some of the crystals would have been left behind on the filter paper or the...

...corporate agenda to cut costs. Cost-cutting is a common theme among large corporations. Even in good times, they have been known to pressure their vendors to lower prices and to play vendors off against each other. This case illustrates what actions a supplier might take in this situation. Other vendors who may find themselves in similar situations can take these actions as well. Background FD is a Dutch manufacturer of filtration products. Rather than selling directly to end customers, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, FD sold oil filters and oil filter cartridges (replacements) to Swedish and Finnish heavy equipment manufacturers who, in turn, branded and sold the products to their own customers. In the late 1980s the Scandinavian market for oil filters began to change. The Finnish government consolidated many of the region’s heavy equipment manufacturers into one company, Conquip. About the same time, FF, a Finnish competitor of FD, began supplying filters to Conquip that were similar to those supplied by FD. Because the Finnish government had a stake in both FF and Conquip, FF was able to gain market share quickly. As a result, entire divisions of Conquip began replacing FD as their supplier of...

Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 9 Greyridge Farm Court Stony Point, NY 10980 P: (877) 322-5800 F: (877) 322-4774 info@cedengineering.com HVAC FOR CLEANROOM FACILITIES Indoor air quality is of paramount importance for human comfort and health. Air, whether it is from outside or re-circulated within the area, acts as a vehicle for airborne contaminants brought in by the movement of people, material, etc. Since many of these airborne contaminants are harmful either to products or people working in such environments their removal is necessary on medical, legal, social or financial grounds. Cleanrooms are specially constructed, environmentally controlled enclosed spaces where the concentration of airborne particles (contaminants) is kept within specified limits. In industry, cleanrooms are used in the manufacturing of electronic hardware such as integrated circuits (ICs) and hard drives. In biotechnology and medicine, cleanrooms are used when it is necessary to ensure an environment free of bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Four fundamental rules apply to cleanrooms. 1) First, contaminants must not be introduced into the controlled environment from the outside. 2) Second, the apparatus or equipment within the controlled environment must not generate or otherwise give rise to contaminants (for example as a result of friction, chemical reactions, or biological processes). 3) Third...
