The responsibility to protect has to be exercised responsibly: that is, with a careful, informed calculation of the likely consequences.
And neither Obama nor the unsinkable turd that is John McCain have done any hard calculation of the actual consequences of another US intervention in the Middle East; both have taken the position that we should fire some ordnance in the vicinity of the offending weaponry, whistle Maytime, and hope for the best.
Calculations accounted for the consequences of multiple testing by using the Benjamini-Hochberg P-value adjustment.
But the kinds of people who kill are rarely equipped, or in a proper emotional state, to make fine calculations about the consequences.
This paper investigates the corresponding biases in the case of a 3D fissile assembly calculation and highlights the consequences of the fundamental mode assumption.
In addition to the definition and the calculation of the human error probabilities, the consequences of the human errors (i.e. rework and waste) for the quality of the processes and the products were also implemented.
The study, the Calculation of Reactor Accident Consequences (CRAC-2) report, was prepared for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and published by Congress in 1982.
The sample size calculations considered the consequences of measurement error and residential mobility, which together tend to reduce the variability of population exposure.
Interviewer: You wrote that the logic of appropriateness may leave individuals to follow rules without, or in spite of, the calculation of consequences and expected utilities.
What will help are the usual ingredients of what Aristotle calls "practical reasoning"— an understanding of your goal, a survey of alternative ways of reaching it, a calculation of likely consequences, an effort to identify the relevant considerations, a recollection of what happened last time, and so on.
Closed-loop performance functions based on these sets are again bounded by circles in the frequency domain, allowing for exact worst-case performance calculation and for the evaluation of the consequences of uncertainty for robust design.
