The sustained failure in the Six Nations, despite an encouraging World Cup, is increasing the pressure on Cotter.
The episode is eerily reminiscent of the I.M.F.'s overlending to several African countries in the 1980s, the most important sustained failure in the fund's long history.
"But in my view none of these factors provides real mitigation for the sustained failure by senior supervisory officers to give this investigation the priority it required and to get a grip on what was plainly a long-standing pattern of terrifying offences committed within a single borough".
Last, there's the depressive inertia that flows out of sustained failure at the keyboard and infects the rest of life with grey minimalism, making it harder to answer letters, return library books, bother to cook meals not composed of pasta.
Safety : The application of systems engineering and systems management principles in conducting hazard, safety and risk analysis in system design and development to ensure that all systems, subsystems and their interfaces operate effectively, without sustaining failures or jeopardising the safety and health of operators, maintainers and the system mission.
Applications will depend on libraries to sustain failure-free performance across process failure to continue to use High Performance Computing (HPC) systems efficiently even in the presence of process failure.
Various measures of engineering integrity of the constrained attractor are introduced: a global measure assesses the overall basin area; a local measure assesses the distance from the attractor to the basin boundary; and a velocity measure is related to the size of impulse that could be sustained without failure.
The threshold condition for rock blocks to start slipping was that the I-value should reach a threshold value, while the threshold conditions of a sustained slip failure were that the I-value should reach a larger threshold value and β should simultaneously exceed a certain value.
Accordingly, four cycles of experimental de- and remyelination were not sufficient to induce sustained remyelination failure as found in chronic cortical MS lesions.
In prion-diseased mice, accumulation of misfolded prion protein (PrP) causes persistently high levels of PERK-P and eIF2α-P, and hence sustained translational failure.
