At smaller or greater magnitudes of the modulus of elasticity, the discrepancy between the magnitudes of the bending moments and lateral displacements increase due to adopting different clay stiffness in Abaqus/Cae and LPILE which is always based on a stiff clay definition for the soil.
This modulus of elasticity corresponds to a medium to stiff soil which approximately matches the definition of the soil in LPILE.
Mr. Silver has asked Senator Bruno to sever the new definition for drunkenness from the stiffer penalties, but Mr. Bruno said today that he would not do so.
A stick that is too soft will lack a quality of definition and clarity, while a stiffer stick will give you a brighter sound.

Subsequent active surveillance, using the same clinical case definition of sudden fever onset with stiff neck, altered mental status, or both, showed 74 suspected cases through mid-March 2006, with a case-fatality rate of 20%.
The State Senate passed a bill today that tightens the definition of drunken driving but attaches stiffer penalties, making it less likely that a compromise will be reached with the Assembly.
Furthermore, the total dinucleotide-based stiffness parameter ktotal (see Methods for definition) unveiled that LRs (in both naked and nucleosomal DNA) are located in regions with large variations in flexibility, where an extremely flexible site is surrounded by stiff motifs.
In an effort to differentiate between cases of encephalitis and meningoencephalitis, we defined a subset of patients who met the case definition and specifically had CSF pleocytosis and stiff neck as having meningoencephalitis.
Right now, due to the legislative reaction from the first attack on the World Trade Center, the definition of domestic terrorism is quite broad and stiff mandatory minimum sentences are required for offenders.
This descriptive definition is also an appropriate definition for postoperative stiff shoulder in the setting of patients who have recently undergone shoulder surgery.
