Since the load variation on an HT distribution network will he only nominal, anil the network will also have enough resistance, it should be possible to compensate the. system up to 70% or so. to turther improve the regulation of the network, say up to 5% of/ , without jeopardizing the level of stability. The application engineer can take a more judicious decision, knowing the condition of the network to be cotnpensated. 

In a much earlier judicial decision related to the scientific reliability of lie detection tests, the so-called Frye rule had emerged. The rule emphasized the need for scientific evidence to have general acceptance before it could be presented to a jury it held sway in courts until the Daubert decision (and is still considered appropriate in some jurisdictions).

It has been said authoritatively that the (patent) Act of 1952 meant to change the slow but steady drift of judicial decision that had been hostile to patents which made it possible, in 1945, for Mr. Justice Jack-son (23) in dissent to speak of the strong passion in this court (the Supreme Court) for striking them (patents) down so that the only patent that is valid is one which this court has not been able to get its hands on. ... 

Two weeks later, Simone Veil publicly reacted to this judicial decision - upsetting for her and her coreligionists - with a declaration of extreme importance. She admitted the absence of proofs, of traces and even witnesses of the gas chambers, but added this absence was easily explained because ... 

In conclusion we shall add that the American verdict in Case VII (SouthEast Trial) expresses the opinion that under international law a judicial decision is required prior to an execution.103 This view is incorrect. Under continental law reprisals are never within the jurisdiction of a court. Courts are responsible only for punishment, not for the assessment of military necessities. The opinion expressed in the verdict proves that the court confused the concepts of reprisals and punishment. 

There is no perfect green solvent that can be applicable to all situations and therefore judicious decisions have to be taken by the user in this regard. All alternative solvents have advantages and disadvantages. In all areas, there is a need to balance the technical advantages of a particular solvent with any environmental cost or other disadvantages. 

Of course these tables should not be used as legal advice. For more specific information it will be necessary to check the latest statutory provisions, patent office policies and probably even judicial decisions...

Judicial decisions in nonregulatory contexts such as toxic tort and product liability suits are likewise inconsistent in their consideration of the linear, no threshold model. As in the regulatory context, most cases find no problem with an expert s reliance on a risk assessment using the linear model. In a handful of cases, however, the court rejects reliance on a linear dose-response assumption. Eor example, one court in addressing the cancer risks from a low concentration of benzene in Perrier held that there is no scientific evidence that the linear no-safe threshold analysis is an acceptable scientific technique used by experts in determining causation in an individual instance (Sutera 1997). Another court decision concluded that [t]he linear non-threshold model cannot be falsified, nor can it be validated. To the extent that it has been subjected to peer review and publication, it has been rejected by the overwhelming majority of the scientific community. It has no known or potential rate of error. It is merely an hypothesis (Whiting 1995). The inconsistency and unpredictability of judicial review of risk assessments adds an additional element of uncertainty into the risk assessment process. 

Henry H. Kessler, M.D., widely acknowledged as the father of modern American disability evaluations, states The term disability denotes a physical defect or impairment and the resulting social and economic status of the affected individual. medical assessment plays a dominant, and often the only, role in the final judicial decision concerning disability claims Gross error oc-... 

Judicial Decisions A significant number of judicial decisions have construed the unreasonable risk standard in Sections 7 and 9 of the CPSA. These decisions provide considerable insight into the criteria that the Commission must observe in promulgating safety standards which include labeling requirements. While the judicial decisions construing Sections 7 and 9 all predate the 1981 amendments, the basic approach they adopt was expressly reaffirmed by Congress when it recently modified the CPSA. 

Recognition of certain basic principles of building layout can help the design engineer make judicious decisions. The fundamental principle is to secure, minimum total building costs (amortized first cost, plus maintenance and operating cost of building services). The total required...

The above statement is intended to reflect the true complexity that exists in systems, tasks, and their interfaces when viewed primarily from the perspective of performance. This provides a basis for the judicious decision making required to realize the best practical implementation in a given situation where many engineering trade-offs must be considered. While a two-level approach is described... 

More complexity is created by judicial decisions. Under OCSLA and other laws, final regulatory decisions such as issuance of a permit or enactment of a rule can be appealed to a federal court by individuals, companies, and other private parties who claim that their interests are impacted by such agency action. 5 The subsequent judicial review may affirm the regulatory action in question or find it invalid on grounds that it is arbitrary, or lacks a sufficient factual basis, violates procedural requirements, exceeds the agency s mandate, or conflicts with a constitutional doctrine. Because agency actions are frequently appealed, fear of judicial review and the delays and costs such cases incur, has the effect of suppressing the timely enactment of improved rules.
