Abstract:

A web-based questionnaire-survey was administered primarily to determine what information is useful to managers in Fraser Health, of British Columbia to support decision-making for workplace health and safety. The results indicated that managers prefer electronic quarterly reports, with targets, goals, and historical trends rated as "very important." Over 85.7% "agree" that if information was readily available in the "most beneficial" format, they would be able to improve workplace health. Recommendations include that managers be presented with clear and concise workplace health reports that facilitate analysis for decision-making.

Abstract:

We report the growth of single crystals of La1−xSrxCoO3+δ (x=0.0 and 0.33) by the floating-zone technique in an image furnace under high pressure (7–9 atm). Single crystals of diameter 10 mm and length 100 mm have been obtained. The phase purity, composition, oxygen stochiometry and quality of the crystals were analysed. We discuss the effect on the crystal growth of the growth atmosphere. We also present some of the magnetization data for the grown crystals.
