The optimization process is based on one of the main contributions of this paper: a novel way to design cross fields with topological (i.e., imposed singularities) and geometrical (i.e., imposed directions) constraints by solving only sparse linear systems.
The group work and the lack of imposed directions by instructors on the final content of the work was acknowledged because "it obliged us to find solutions for the problems by ourselves, which increased group communication and brought interesting discussions on different themes".
Thermodynamic formulations impose directions and limits on the probability of processes; they also imply the use of scarce resources and compare the efficiencies of conversion between different kinds of energies, which may be a necessary step in net energy analyzes and energy policy discussions.
There must be some clear defining purpose, some concept of the common good, which will impose direction and control on the unruly pluralism of these modern, democratic, capitalistic welfare states.
Mr. Negroponte, 65, a veteran diplomat, and General Hayden, 60, previously director of the National Security Agency, face the dual challenge of building their own operation from scratch even as they try to impose direction on 15 disparate spy agencies that by all accounts are deeply troubled.
By installing a subsurface WVD, it is possible to impose direction-controlled vapor fluxes, and WVDs can be used to accumulate or remove water in particular soil layers.
It too (and every laborious step on its way) is affected by the distribution of costs and benefits of any changes among stakeholders, by the mixture of value systems in play and by the interpretation of what is central and peripheral in the intervention itself, all this in contexts where power is diffuse, and the capacity to unilaterally impose direction is limited.
Whether the police use section 14 or section 30, therefore, the conditions imposed or directions given in any individual case would have to be proportionate to the public safety concerns in order to comply with Article 11.
Intact samples of Pennsylvania slate were sheared with a range of initial fabric orientations from 0 to 165° with respect to the imposed shear direction.
We found that a tensile fracture parallel to the imposed flow direction—serves to increase permeability by about a factor of two (permeability increased from 6.2 × 10−13 and 1.6 × 10−12 m to 1.0 × 10−12 and 2.8 × 10−12 m for the two samples, respectively).
The local authority can then charge the actual cost of the works rather than the (presumably) lower cap imposed by the directions".
