However, before previous cases can be considered as potential ratios, they need to be located according to whether or not they are similar to the present case. Sometimes, counsel for the litigants will strenuously argue that previous cases are not precedents because they can be distinguished on their facts. In other words, they are not similar; the court may agree out of persuasion or policy. In this way extremely subtle ‘differences’ are found between two cases. It is difficult if not impossible to come up with a clear formula that will always work for ascertaining the ratio of a case. But a reasonable idea of the difficulties in ascertaining the ratio is a necessary and revealing step for any interpreter engaged in the search for a ratio. Appreciation of the difficulties prevents simplistic case analysis which will ultimately lead to simplistic and inadequate construction of legal arguments. If an argument is being made on weak, tenuous or stretched grounds, it is better to know than be ignorant as to the basis of the case one is constructing. One of the major difficulties involved concerns the different types of information and skills that have to be utilised in deciding whether a case is a precedent. To provide some light relief, work through the questions in the chart in Figure 4.6, below. It is an over-simplistic chart asking some of the necessary questions to decide if a previous case constitutes a precedent to be followed in a current case. As mentioned above, the law tends to work through generalised rules which have to be applied to specific circumstances. This is why lawyers spend so much time comparing, contrasting and differentiating situations, for they are constructing arguments based upon similarity and difference. Legal rules are, by convention and necessity, expressed as general rules. Lawyers have to reason from the generality of the rule to the specificity of the situation. At times, lawyers have to research previous cases meticulously to assist in predicting the outcome of the current case. After all, there is no point in going to court if the exact point the client wishes to make has already come before a court and been determined to his detriment. Part of the lawyer’s particular expertise is knowing how to look quickly through past cases to find relevant decisions either supporting or opposing a client’s case. The location of materials is relatively easy given the range of on-line databases available. Unfortunately, students often do not have unlimited access to training in how to use such databases. So, there is a need to rely on one of the citators to locate relevant cases. Searches can be made, first, to pinpoint cases dealing with specific legal rules; secondly, a range of cases with similar facts can be located through analysing the first trawl of data. These cases then need to be carefully read and analysed. The lawyer has to construct an argument and predict the opponent’s arguments. This is done by, initially, checking relevant cases. It must be evident by now that the ability to locate and subsequently analyse law reports is extremely important. After careful reading, the lawyer has to construct detailed arguments concerning similarities with other cases that help the client’s position, and arguments need to be constructed demolishing the potential precedential value of cases not helping the client. This latter skill is called distinguishing, and it is a particularly important skill for those who wish to ensure that a precedent is not followed.

Abstract Power plants operating in cyclic mode, standby mode or as back up to solar and wind generating assets are required to come on line on short notice. Simple cycle power plants employing gas turbines are being designed to come on line within 10–15 minutes. Combined cycle plants with heat recovery steam generators and steam turbines take longer to come on line. The components of a combined cycle plant, such as the HRSG, steam turbine, steam surface condenser, cooling tower, circulating water pumps and condensate pumps, are being designed to operate in unison and come on line expeditiously. Major components, such as the HRSG, steam turbine and associated steam piping, dictate how fast the combined cycle plant can come on line. The temperature ramp rates are the prime drivers that govern the startup time. Steam surface condenser and associated auxiliaries impact the startup time to a lesser extent. This paper discusses the design features that could be included in the steam surface condenser and associated auxiliaries to permit quick startup and reliable operation. Additional design features that could be implemented to withstand the demanding needs of cyclic operation are highlighted.

The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was launched on 26th January 1978 and is still fully operational today, with several more years hopefully to come. After six months, the fully–reduced data is consigned to public–access archives maintained by the project agencies (NASA, ESA, and SERC). Thus, in addition to observations from current and future programmes, there are ~12,000 high–dispersion (Δλ ~ 0.15Å) spectra readily available now for research on stars hotter than about mid-B type. Furthermore, a uniform reprocessing, with optimum schemes, of all past IUE images has begun, to create the Final Archive which will be made accessible on–line through optical disk storage systems and will ensure the value of IUE data well into the future.


With the increasing attractiveness of on-line shopping and being the preeminent occupied nation inside the world, India is one among the primary on-line showcases as of now and is likely going to turn into the most significant market inside what's to come. In that capacity, different examinations are committed to site quality and assessments. Investigation endeavours region unit, in any case, in need of understanding the use of web locales as to on-line benefactors conduct, especially Indian consumers. This examination created and by experimentation tried a unique model of the effect of site quality on customer realization and purchase aims. Results showed that site quality consolidates an immediate and positive effect on customer delightful, which customer accomplishment joins a positive effect on purchase intention. .

TUIMP (www.tuimp.org) is an international project to produce little astronomy booklets. These booklets, folded from just one sheet of paper, can be used in classrooms, at open public conferences, or during visits of observatories and planetariums. They are free to download from the internet, the only thing which is needed is a color printer (in absence of a printer, the booklets can also be directly consulted on line, even with just a mobile phone). The booklets are intended for children from nine years old and for anyone curious of astronomy. They are written in a simple language, amply illustrated, revised and translated by professional astronomers. So far, they are being published in six languages, others languages are to come. Everyone is invited to download the booklets and use them in their outreach activities.

When Berners Lee invented the Internet, he for sure could not have imagined the beast he unleashed. Today, some years later, the Internet is the single most important tool of communication, leisure, and information gathering. With Web 2.0 and social networks becoming more and more mainstream, we must ask the question about what more is about to come. If ever we will look back and define the current moments in 2010 as Web 3.0, it will for sure be the talk of touch screens, 3D technologies, and most of all, the rise of Augmented Reality (AR). This more sensory Internet leads to an entirely new experience of bridging the off-line with the on-line world. It makes the use more human and easier to use because it simulates various aspects of needs and activities we would demand and use even if we were not computer freaks. This chapter talks about AR and its applications and the way it can change our lives and businesses with the support of cyberspace.

Streaming rights, both visual and audio, is the new hot product in the world’s major sporting events organizers portfolio. Rapidly outplacing the traditional television broadcasters, global technology giants enter the live games and highlights streaming rights auctions and easily prevail against the sporting leagues long standing media partners. In close to 100 million populated and football passionate Germany, it was almost certain that global on line titans would bid for those rights. After decades of holding the domestic and international rights, television broadcasters found themselves out of the deal in certain packages. The trend is growing and for sure Amazon and Tencent are not going the last global tech conglomerates to acquire those rights in the years to come.

Many of the private universities of Bangladesh have decided to continue their academic activities through online off-campus learning amid concerns that traditional classes could spread the COVID-19 virus. Teaching is moving online, on an untested and unprecedented scale. There are challenges and possibilities unveiling in the technical tertiary level education like Architecture. A Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) programme need to be comprising of both theory and sessional studio courses. The learning modes are not same for these two areas. Modification and new invention of teaching methods need to be introduced to coping of off-campus class. In this study, the first-hand experience of on-line teaching in B.Arch program of the author and the similar experience of faculties of the different universities of Bangladesh are triangulated to come up with a model of off-campus class. This article finds out the systematic process of teaching method to coping of off-campus class during the COVID-19 crisis for the Architecture pedagogy. The process has three domains and four major areas. The teacher’s domain and the student’s domain are connected through the domain of virtual classroom. The four major areas are live streaming, live discourse, prerecorded lecture and assignment and feedback. A well synchronization of these areas can establish the model of off-campus class for architecture pedagogy.
