Talk:Liebig condenser

message: the Liebig condenser is not used for refluxing, the image in the reflux page is wrong. A reflux condenser  has a much larger inner surface (not a strait cylinder but a succession of spheres) V8rik 17:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * V8rik - maybe you're right in that people shouldn't use Liebig condensers when they wish to heat a liquid to reflux, but they are very frequently used for this purpose. -- Quantockgoblin 18:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  not for reflux 

message: I am not a chemist. When I have seen a Liebig condenser used by a chemist I worked with in a lab many years ago, she ran the cooling water through the inner tube and the gas to be condensed through the outer tube, instead of using the outer tube as a water jacket for the inner tube.
Thinking about this, I can see advantages. The gas to be condensed is exposed to more cooling surface area because the outside surface of the inner tube has a larger area than its inner surface. Furthermore, the gas is exposed to the large-area inside surface of the outer tube, which is at room temperature, for further effectiveness in condensation.
Is that a common practice? If so, perhaps this article should mention it. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:33, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:University of Sheffield

message: Why are these controversies continually being vandalised in the form of deletion? They aer true events that have impacted on the funtioning of the university. They are also rather amusing, lighthearted and of course, wholly true and accurate. PLEASE keep them, Sheffield Students of the world, UNITE and take over!!!!
I think the content and tone of the sentences above demonstrate that the section regarding controversy is partisan and more concerned with maligning the organisation than recording an event, irrespective of one's personal views on the subject. Also, the majority of the citations are from one news source. The entire section on controversy needs to be removed and rewritten objectively and factually by somebody who is not part of the controversy. For example, the institution's own version of events is not represented.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.177.220 (talk) 12:38, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I would add that the section is biased and defamatory in places because it is written by an editor who has a conflict of interest and represents University of Sheffield UCU's side of the dispute.

Talk:German legal citation

message: I see that both Paragraph and Paragraf exist as German words. Is it just a matter of alternate spelling, or is there a connotative difference? -- Jmabel 07:29, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: ''Paragraph'' and ''Paragraf'' in German

message: I see that a recent anonymous edit says that an Absatz should be indicated with a Roman numeral, and changed the examples. Is this a universal practice? In Paragraph 175, I followed the previous guidance here, and wrote "§ 182 (2) StGB" rather than "§ 182 II StGB". Is what I did wrong? Or is the recent change here wrong? Or are both acceptable, in which case our article should say so. -- Jmabel | Talk July 7, 2005 00:25 (UTC)
:It is my impression that this type of citation is pretty common in German law journals, but these things may depend on the publisher. I will investigate this more closely when I get to the library. Martg76 7 July 2005 21:20 (UTC)
:The formally correct abbreviation for Absätze is "Abs." i.e. "§ 182 Abs. 2 StGB". This form is used exclusively in all official documents or any texts addressed at the general public (i.e. non-lawyers). I'll adjust the article accordingly.
:However, it is common in text books and journals addressed at a legal audience to use some kind of informal shorthand. In my experience both "§ 182 II StGB" and "§ 182 (2) StGB" are used for this purpose, although I'd say that the first form of these two is much more common. Usually these texts deal predominately with paragraphs from only one statue. In that case there might even be a footnote at the first citation stating that all citations that don't refer to a particular statue are meant to refer to StGB. From then on these paragraphs would be cited simply as "§ 182 II".Hazzl 13:22, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: More information can be found in the Handbuch der Rechtsförmlichkeit - 3.2 Zitierung der Bestandteile von Rechtsvorschriften. In my experience the roman numeral style is mainly used by professionals. The parentheses style is mainly used by non-professionals as it simply resembles the enumeration style of sub-paragraphs (Absätze), see § 2 StGB. 217.234.206.156 (talk) 22:00, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Intangibles

message: I think this article completely misses upon the big picture of what intangibles are all about.
Why does the article present the colloquial meaning first, then the more common uses of intangibles?  It seems to me that the more direct, commonly accepted meaning of the word should be listed first, followed by the more conversational, street language.  Intangibles is not primarely a sports term.  
Some examples are...
Research and Development - after you spent years on lab work and experiments on developing something new, where did all of the expense go?  Afterall, you learned something.
Work Force Know How - after you spent money on training, where did it go?
Business Methodology - internal processes adn procedures on how to do something
Franchise - there is a value to doing things repeatable.  This is why people buy franchises.
Intellectual Property - patents and trade secrets
Brands and Trademarks - Coca-Cola and Walmart will certainly tell you
Copyrights
Goodwill
The sports example is only a small subset to the big picture.  Aren't sports or office intangibles like team spirit, sportsmanship, and morale just part of this list?

replies: text: I'll let someone else decide to add the above paragraph back in.  If I add it, it will simply be dismissed as COI.  So, instead, I'll just make a case here in discussion why someone else should include it.  I argue in my book in a very practical way that there are no real "intangibles" in busienss.  If it has value at all, it has an observable effect of some kind.  If the effect cannot be detected in any way - directly or indirectly - then it cannot possibly have bearing on the organization. I argue that everything an organization thinks of as intangible is just a measurement problem they don't yet realize has a solution.  If someone gets the book (mentioned above) they can see the rest of the argument with detailed examples.  If that convinces someone, then they should add all this back in.  It is, after all, consistent with many of the articles about various concepts and methods to include some sort of "criticisms" section.  This would be a way to balance out the concept by acknowledging that there are many people who doubt whether intangibles are real or even releveant.  ThanksHubbardaie 20:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
