Judge Laurence H. Silberman, in a concurring opinion a year ago, described the Boumediene decision as "the Supreme Court's defiant – if only theoretical – assertion of judicial supremacy".
The results seem to support theoretical assertions of Semenov on dynamics of block-copolymer micelles in a high-molecular-weight polymer matrix.
Preliminary numerical experiments are included to verify the theoretical assertions of the proposed method.
Osorio's paper empirically examined the theoretical assertions of prior research [48 50].
Furthermore, some preliminary numerical results are reported to verify the theoretical assertions of the proposed method and show that our algorithm for the system of generalized equilibrium problems is more attractive in practice than our algorithm for the generalized equilibrium problems.
But it grew out of a wild, theoretical assertion by The Guardian, which was later transformed into a fact by the New Scientist and repeated by The Atlantic.
Before providing a more detailed, specific description of each theoretical assertion, an overview of the curriculum development pathway followed by each team is offered using a flow chart structure to guide the reader through the emergent temporal development of that team's curriculum unit.
In order to develop useful causal explanations, the theoretical assertion about the causal effect of a policy output as independent variable must be paired with the specification of a causal mechanism explaining through which process integration outcomes are produced (see George & Bennett, 2005; Pawson & Tilley, 1997).
Furthermore, the results of the study support the theoretical assertion that key business factors play an important role in game business performance.
Their results disconfirm the theoretical assertions, as leaders of a patent race do not invest more than their followers.
