The crimes with which these men are charged were not committed in rage, or under the stress of sudden temptation, What these men did was done with the utmost deliberation and would, I venture to surmise, be repeated if the opportunity should recur. In their. . . supremely criminal adventure, the defendants were eager and leading participants. They joined in stamping out the flame of liberty. They were the warp and woof of the dark mantle of death that settled over Europe. 

Owing to the costs of defenses, natural selection will optimize defenses. There are various aspects in this optimization, including defense allocation with respect to temporal variation in grazing pressure and within-plant defense allocation with respect to grazing risk and the value of different plant parts (reviewed in Stamp 2003). Here we will focus on both the induced defenses and within-plant allocation of defenses, because these aspects have been widely studied in macroalgae. 

Also, most nf the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are improved. The alloys find wide application for operations that require ductility in the cold condition, as in stamping, spinning, deep drawing, and for articles lo be plated. An alloy widely used as a spring material because of ils high tensile and fatigue properties has the composition Cu. 55% Zn. 27% Ni, 18%. 

The negative view of the mushrooms prevailed. Spanish mycophobia succeeded in stamping out the mushroom cult as a major force in Mexican culture. Only a handful of remote mountain tribes preserved the customs and rituals of what must once have been a splendid and powerful system of worship and magic. So complete was the neglect and ignorance in the Western world of this botanical aspect of Mexican religion, that in 1915 a reputable American botanist, William E. Safford, read a paper before a learned society claim-... 

Momma was the grandmother who raised Angelou and her brother in Stamps, Arkansas she was the respected owner of a general store. 

One of the most far-reaching improvements on the manufacturing side of the industry was the introduction of Nasmyth s steam-hammer process circa 1840. It was on the suggestion of a foreman at the Old Hall works — Mr Pinson, afterwards of Pinson and Evans — that Nasmyth (1808 to 1890) made alterations in his steam hammer and adapted it for use in stamping articles of hollow-ware from steel and iron sheets. Originally all tin articles such as tea and coffee pots, saucepans and kettles, were made entirely by hand, but a slow and laborious method of stamping had been evolved just before Nasmyth s patent was applied. The hammer head was raised by hand by means of a winch, and later by steam, but Nasmyth s invention revolutionised the industry, and since then the machinery for the production of hollow-ware and pressed metal-ware generally has been continually improved by new inventions and adaptations. 

Both compounds are used to make antifreeze and de-icing solutions for cars, airplanes, and boats to make polyester compounds and as solvents in the paint and plastics industries. Ethylene glycol is also an ingredient in photographic developing solutions, hydraulic brake fluids and in inks used in stamp pads, ballpoint pens, and print shops. 

Second price auction. This is a sealed bid auction in which the highest bidder is awarded the item at a price equal to the bid of the second highest bidder. The procedure is not common, although it is used in stamp auctions. The multiple-unit extension of this second price sealed bid auction is called a competitive or uniform price auction. If five identical items are sold through a competitive price auction, for example, the five highest bidders will each win an item but all will pay the fifth-highest price.

In stamp transfer, a stamping pad is dipped into a reservoir of liquid adhesive and the adhesive redeposited onto a substrate on contact. The amount of material transferred depends on its viscosity, the size and shape of the stamping tool, and the depth to which the stamp is immersed. " An advantage of stamp transfer is the ability to deposit adhesive over large areas in a single application. Pad areas as large as 500-mils square can be covered. However, like pin transfer, limitations of stamp transfer... 

The most basic concept in STAMP is not an event, but a constraint. Events leading to losses occur only because safety constraints were not successfully enforced. 

The third concept used in STAMP, along with safety constraints and hierarchical safety control structures, is process models. Process models are an important part of control theory. The four conditions required to control a process are described in chapter 3. The first is a goal, which in STAMP is the safety constraints that must be enforced by each controller in the hierarchical safety control structure. The action condition is implemented in the (downward) control channels and the observability condition is embodied in the (upward) feedback or measuring channels. The final condition is the model condition Any controller—human or automated-needs a model of the process being controlled to control it effectively (figure 4.6). 

In STAMP, systems are viewed as interrelated components kept in a state of dynamic equilibrium by feedback control loops. Systems are not treated as static but as dynamic processes that are continually adapting to achieve their ends and to react to changes in themselves and their environment. 

Starting from the basic definitions in STAMP, the general causes of accidents can be identified using basic systems and control theory. The resulting classification is useful in accident analysis and accident prevention activities. 

Accidents in STAMP are the result of a complex process that results in the system behavior violating the safety constraints. The safety constraints are enforced by the control loops between the various levels of the hierarchical control structure that are in place during design, development, manufacturing, and operations. 

In STAMP, accidents and losses result from not enforcing safety constraints on behavior. Not only must the original system design incorporate appropriate constraints to ensure safe operations, but the safety constraints must continue to be enforced as changes and adaptations to the system design occur over time. This goal forms the basis for safe management, development, and operations. 

Like HAZOP, STPA works on a model of the system and has guidewords to assist in the analysis, but because in STAMP accidents are seen as resulting from inadequate control, the model used is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram. In addition, the set of guidewoids is based on lack of control rather than physical parameter deviations. While engineering expertise is still required, guidance is provided for the STPA process to provide some assurance of completeness in the analysis. 

Risks in STAMP terms can be divided into two types (1) basic inadequacies in the way individual components in the control structure fulfill their responsibilities and (2) risks involved in the coordination of activities and decision making that can lead to unintended interactions and consequences. 

In STAMP, accidents are caused by inadequate control. The controllers can be human or physical. This section focuses on design prindples for the components of the control loop that are important whether a human is in the loop or not. Section... 

These new mode-rich systems increase the need for and difficulty of maintaining mode awareness, which can be defined in STAMP terms as keeping the controlled-system operating mode in the controller s process model consistent with the actual controlled system mode. A large number of modes challenges human ability to maintain awareness of active modes, armed modes, interactions between environmental status and mode behavior, and interactions across modes. It also increases the difficulty of error or failure detection and recovery. 

In STAMP, an accident is regarded as involving a complex process, not just individual events. Accident analysis in CAST then entails understanding the dynamic process that led to the loss. That accident process is documented by showing the sociotechnical safety control structure for the system involved and the safety constraints that were violated at each level of this control structure and why. The analysis results in multiple views of the accident, depending on the perspective and level from which the loss is being viewed. 

Often, ironically, our successful efforts to eliminate or reduce accidents contribute to the march toward higher risk. Perception of the risk associated with an activity often decreases over a period of time when no losses occur even though the real risk has not changed at all. This misperception leads to reducing the very factors that are preventing accidents because they are seen as no longer needed and available to trade off with other needs. The result is that risk increases until a major loss occurs. This vicious cycle needs to be broken to prevent accidents. In STAMP terms, the weakening of the safety control structure over time needs to be prevented or detected before the conditions occur that lead to a loss.
