This case thus helps to analyze the inner working of an understudied skunkworks (project-level) and to discuss the governance of exploratory projects (firm-level), more specifically the limits of Stage-Gate processes for radical innovations.
Both occur in The Winter's Tale, which suggests that, in what was almost certainly one of his final plays, the dramatist was either impatient to test the limits of staging or secure in the audience's acceptance of pretence.
The lower limit of Stage 1 (see Fig. 3(b) and caption for the characterization of the two stages, with the first corresponding to compressive strain at KMU, and the second to expansion) is fixed since, at that position, the strain produced at KMU changes from contraction to expansion, corresponding to the reversal in the data as shown in Fig. 3(a).
However, it was observed that the upper limit of stage IV marks a threshold for dramatic worsening of HRQL, whereas a change from stage 0 to II does not correspond to any meaningful difference in HRQL.
However, a sensitivity analysis using a more conservative eGFR cutoff of >30 ml/min/1.73 m (corresponding to the lower limit of stage 3 CKD), did not change the results of our study.
Hence, our results support the use of the IRIS guidelines for classification of chronic kidney disease, particularly for IRIS stage 3 and 4 and probably 2. It is questionable as far as the upper limit of stage 1, where the difference between reference intervals and decision threshold deserves attention.
Her racist and sectarian rants push the limits of a stage performance without provoking protests.
Mr. Kelly transgresses the limits of traditional stage behavior so slightly that we wonder whether it has always been as ridiculous as he makes it.
Noticing similarities between tales of the Deep South and Yoruban myths, McCraney has written a play - about a good brother, a wastrel brother and a bad influence - which weaves together a storytelling tradition (the play begins with one of the actors drawing a chalk circle to show the limits of the stage) and a hip-hop, urban, cynical mode.
The Fortuny dome and the cyclorama became essential tools of the scenic illusionists, but their invention served the anti-illusionists equally well, as they gave a sense of space beyond the finite limits of the stage, gave solidity to the stylized decor, and silhouetted the rhythmic action of the players against a background of diffused light.
Now the band wants to push the limits of their stage presence.
