PRODUCT CONSISTENCY TEST RESULTS FOR THE LAW PHASE 5 GLASSES

Abstract This paper presents the results of laboratory tests carried out in order to formulate effective stress law. The law was sought for two different cases: first - when rock was treated as a porous Biot medium (Biot, 1941; Nur & Byerlee, 1971) and second - when the law was formulated according to definition of Robin (1973) developed by Gustkiewicz (1990) and Nowakowski (2007). In the first case coefficents (4) and (5) of the Biot equation (3) were were determined on the basis of compressibility test, in the second one effective pressure equation (9) and effective pressure value (11) were found on the basis of results of so called individual triaxial compression test (see Kovari et al., 1983) according to the methodology given by Nowakowski (2007). On the basis of Biot coefficients set of values was found that volumetric strain of the pore space described by a coefficient (5) was not dependent on the type of pore fluid and the pore pressure of only, while in case of volumetric strain of total rock described by coefficient (4) both the structure and texture of rock were important. The individual triaxial compression test results showed that for tested rock an effective pressure equation was a linear function of pore pressure as (15). The so called Rebinder effect (Rehbinder & Lichtman, 1957) might cause, that the α coefficient in equation (15) could assume values greater than one. This happened particularly in the case when the porous fluid was non-inert carbon dioxide. In case of inert pore fluid like kerosene the test results suggested that the a coefficient in equation (15) decreased while the differential strength limit was increasing. This might be caused by, so called, dillatancy strengthening (see Zoback & Byerlee, 1975). Another considered important parameter of the equation (15) was the value of the effective press p'. The results showed that the value of this parameter was practically independend on the pore fluid type. This conclusion was contrary to previous research (see, for example, Gustkiewicz et al., 2003 and Gustkiewicz, 1990) so these results should be treated with caution. There are no doubts, however, over p' increasing simultaneously with increase in Rσ1-σ3. Basically, the differential strength limit of the specimen is greater the greater is confining pressure applied to it. Thus, higher Rσ1-σ3 values are accompanied by higher p'.

SummaryThe complex nature and consequences of fraud are illustrated by the case of ‘Dr’ Barian Baluchi, who held himself out to be a consultant neuropsychiatrist before being convicted of deception, actual bodily harm and procuring registration by making false declarations. Under the proposed UK Criminal Evidence (Experts) Bill, psychiatric experts in fraud cases are likely to find the admissibility of their evidence tested against statutory criteria. Where they rely on test results, they will need to know the validity of the methods and show that they have taken proper account of the degree of precision or margin of uncertainty affecting the accuracy or reliability of their results. Proposals to reform the law on unfitness also have implications for psychiatric assessment in fraud cases. It will now be even more important for psychiatric opinion evidence to be demonstrably sound and of such evident strength that there is no issue as to its admissibility and the judge can presume evidentiary reliability.

The Individual

In social life it is impossible apart from the laws and regulations that apply. Society must comply with and obey the law because the law observance will provide comfort and peace. The number of disputes in the community was triggered by the loss of the character of the Indonesian nation. The dispute led to violations of the law and cause discomfort. The study was conducted to determine the effect of character education to the students of law observance. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative research methods. The number of samples in this study was 60 students and data analysis was performed by using regression analysis with SPSS. The results showed the characteristics of students who responded 53% of them turned out to have the value of honesty, 56% agreed to the value of mutual respect and 46% agreed for mutual cooperation. While the observance of law, students tend to obey the law for fear of sanctions and wants to be seen as a good person. Obedience to the law of the individual number is only 43%. Statistical test results also show that there is a relationship between the character and influence of the rule of law.

Policy Discussion

This article examines gender issues that arose when California created and passed a law related to substance-exposed infants in 1990. The law intended to clarify whether prenatal alcohol and drug use was a reportable form of child abuse. The authors conducted 32 interviews with those who created the law and those who implemented part of the law, creating a model protocol. The authors also collected documents related to the overall project, such as the final report, the model protocol itself and comments on a draft protocol, and minutes of meetings. Three gender issues arose in interviews with the law's framers and the protocol developers. First, the discourse about the law and the process of the law's creation was a divisive one. Members took sides as being either “pro-woman” or “pro-child.” These positions were also respectively aligned with a further division: one was either “pro-treatment” or “pro-protection.” Second, there were issues related to drug testing and the purposes of such testing. Drug test results were, and continue to be, turned over to child welfare agencies when women are reported as suspected child abusers, and interviewees expressed concerns about gender equity and women's rights. Finally, fathers were noticeably absentfrom policy discussion and policy-related documents.
