There was optimism to be had because "the sequester" was a set of budget cuts that were designed to be so severe -- so brain-searingly psychotic, in fact -- that the sheer terror and potential danger of imagining them happening would spur the factionalized Congress to cease all mischief and finally come to terms.
Compact welded heat exchangers are designed to be used in severe operating conditions (temperature, pressure, aggressive fluid, etc).. Thus fatigue failure can be observed after large cyclic strain due to thermomechanical cyclic loads.
In the present study, three V-notched specimens (blunt, medium, and severe) are designed to be representative of the stress gradient: (i) in a small rotary bending specimen, (ii) at the root of a gear tooth, and (iii) at the root of a very sharp notch.
The trouble began last year when a Congress panicked by rising budget deficits and influenced by the Tea Party movement, a loose coalition of fiscal conservatives bent on smaller government, enacted severe spending cuts designed to be so awful that they would provoke a more measured response.
These circumstances suggest that even if a trial is favourably designed to detect severe exacerbations, it is always going to be difficult to amass a large study population to record enough severe exacerbations.
Beyond the sheer depth of the ocean at Rosebank, installations there would need to be designed to withstand severe weather that can include 100-foot waves.
The components are designed to exhibit severe springback behaviour in order to put both the forming and subsequent assembling simulations to the test.
Secondly, we explore and compare three decision methodologies on the problem at hand, namely, Bayesian statistics, info-gap theory and imprecise probability theory, all of which are designed to handle severe uncertainty.
This retrospective, single-center study was designed to distinguish severe diabetic foot infection (DFI) from moderate DFI based on the presence or absence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Existing scores are limited in that they have been designed to predict only severe, or non-consensus AKI definitions and not less severe stages of AKI, which also have prognostic significance.
