Inside the euro zone, serial rule-breakers are supposed ultimately to face the prospect of hefty fines.
Do they?Just as damaging to the NPT as the confessions of such serial rule-breakers are suspicions that Iran is managing to bend the treaty's peaceful provisions to build a bomb.
In a letter published by the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros' lawyer John Spiegel said the Weinstein Company, which the brothers co-own, was a serial rule-breaker that only took note of long-standing rules over film titles when they suited its purposes – and ignored them when it did not.
For the first time the Mexican capital is also introducing a system through which serial rule-breakers will accumulate negative points on their licences that could lead to temporary suspensions.
Three experiments examined the processes mediating rat serial pattern learning for rule-consistent versus rule-violating pattern elements ("violation elements").
Firstly, the cable net is discretized into finite cable elements, and serial numbering rule is proposed to obtain the corresponding topological matrix.
As is typical of fixed action patterns, no two syntactic chains may be absolutely identical, but they are highly similar, stereotyped, and easily recognized, and always follow the same serial patterning rule [ 39, 40].
Thus, rats appear to use at least three cognitive processes concurrently in serial pattern learning tasks, namely, item memory involving external discriminative cues, counting- or timing-like processes for encoding serial position, and rule abstraction for encoding an internal representation of pattern structure.
If the cognitive process follows a serial-OR rule, the predicted SIC is flat and hence neither D + nor D − should be significant.
The post-tensioned concrete is modelled as a composite material whose behaviour is described with the serial-parallel rule of mixtures (S/P RoM) (Rastellini et al, 2008; Martinez et al., 2008, 2014) whereas the stress relaxation of the steel is simulated using a viscoelastic model called Generalized Maxwell.
