"The Supreme Court," said Joseph A. Grundfest, a law professor at Stanford, "will likely issue important decisions defining the permissible level of punitive damages, the validity of business method patents, whether and when parallel conduct among competitors violates the antitrust laws, and statutes of limitations in securities fraud action.
The available literature on thresholds for thermal damage and the validity of the thermal dose (TD) model were discussed.The following global TD threshold guidelines for safe use of MR are proposed: 1.
Econometric models and hypothesis testing of the two measures, WTC labour and reported direct physical damage, confirm the validity of both approaches.
MP3.com, which is liable for over $100 million in damages, is contesting the validity of several thousand of Universal's copyrights on the ground that sound recordings are not works made for hire.
The consequences are visualized in "electromigration damage maps", which question the validity of empirical lifetime extrapolations.
We evaluate, analyze, and simulate our mechanisms and the softwarized measurement architecture service and demonstrate the high performance of detection and damage reduction to prove the validity of the SFaaS concept.
Based on continuum creep damage mechanics approach, we propose a new relationship between time to reach Monkman Grant ductility and rupture life in terms of damage tolerance factor, and show the validity of this relationship for creep data on 9Cr 1Mo steel and AISI 304 stainless steel.
If we assume that buildings are built according to the improved Seismic Fortification Criterion in the revised "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings", the predicted CRs for the 20 targeted districts would be significantly lower compared with the actual damage they sustained, which illustrates the validity of both the method and the revised code.
The results demonstrated that all damage cases were detected in a reasonable manner, thereby demonstrating the validity of the proposed method in structural damage detection.
The validity of the proposed fatigue damage model is confirmed by comparing the experimentally derived damage evolution curves for C 45 and 16 Mn steel.
