What is 5s?
This is the quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions.
What is pH?
This is a chromatographic method in which molecules in solution are separated primarily by their size.
What is SEC or size exclusion chromatography?
The category of packaging that directly touches a product
What is primary packaging?
This is the annual evaluation process that begins in November and ends in February, at bonus/merit time.
What are performance reviews or performance evaluations?
Denoted by the acronym "NPD" this is the process of developing new assays in R&D.
What is "new product development"?
This is an analytical chemistry technique that is a coupled chromatographic technique that combines the physical separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with mass analysis capability.
What is LC MS or Liquid chromatography/Mass spectrometry?
This, calculated as (R) = d/K , measures the capacity of a material to resist heat transfer.
What is thermal conductivity or thermal insulation.
This company was founded in Germany in 1972 by five ex-IBM engineers. The acronym stands for Systeme, Andwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung which - translated to English - means Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing.
What is SAP?
This is an Engineering design process, business process management method related to traditional Six Sigma, denoted by the abbreviation "DFSS".
What is "Design for Six Sigma"?
This is regular, routine maintenance to help keep equipment up and running, preventing any unplanned downtime and expensive costs from unanticipated equipment failure.
what is planned or preventive maintenance?
In the analytical technique SDS-PAGE, this is used to separate proteins based (largely) on their molecular weight in a gel matrix.
What is electrophoresis?
This city in upstate NY is the hometown of both Wayne and Dan.
What is Rochester?
This is the financial mechanism by which expenses in one area can be allocated, or changed, to another area.
What is a cross charge?
This measures the amount of variability induced in measurements by the measurement system itself, and compares it to the total variability observed to determine the viability of the measurement system.
What is ANOVA and/or Gauge R&R and/or MSA
This is the process that links the analytical signal with the concentration of analyte present in the sample.
What is calibration?
This is an electrophoresis technique that separates proteins based on their pI, or isoelectric point, which is the pH at which a protein has no net charge and does not move in an electric field. (Need the full name, not the acronym).
What is isolelectric focusing?
This component of wood causes paper to yellow
What is lignin?
This is a financial assessment used in decision making where the cost of the investment is weighed against the benefit from that investment.
What is ROI (return on investment)?
In measurement of a set, X is closeness of the measurements to a specific value, while Y is the closeness of the measurements to each other. (THIS IS A TWO PART ANSWER! Answer "What are X and Y")
In the Rapid Assay SNAP and plate products, this is the reporter enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of the substrate to form a color change.
What is HRP, or Horse Radish peroxidase?
In this analytic technique, proteins are separated according to the net charge, size, and shape of their native structure.
What is NATIVE PAGE? (must include "native"! )
The type of plastics that cannot be re-formed.
What are thermoset plastics?
