Second Stories

Ibid. In the second story Forman withheld the physicians name, though from the context it appears to be the same man. He noted that he did this because the man had shamed himself, and those who had licensed him to practise physic, the College of Physicians. 

The second story differs from the rules of the road in another way too. Each traffic equilibrium requires everybody to behave in the same way - everybody should drive on the right or everybody should drive on the left. Each equilibrium in the second story requires that some people behave differently than others -not because their desires or opponuniiies differ, but because there is a built-in imbalance in their interaction. This is also a feature of frequency-dependent equilibria/ which I referred to in chapter I. Consider the problem of whether it pays to behave honestly in order to build a reputation for honesty, in a population that consisted almost entirely of honest people, it would... 

The shoots are taken off, put into n small carriage, and convoyed on a tramway to tho departments of tho work where the pairing of tho salt of lead from the unoxidised portions of the metal takes place. Since the latter is the highest part of the machinery in the area where the cleansing, grinding, and other operations arc effected, the railway mentioned is on the second story of the establishment.. 

A 52-year-old man had a 5-year history of sleepwalking 2-3 times a week beginning 3 months after starting lithium (206). On one occasion, he was injured in a fall when sleepwalking through a second-story window. When lithium was stopped for 3 months, the problem resolved only to recur when it was restarted. 

The second story is that of Robin. Robin was 53 and had no previous psychiatric history. As she registered, she began to cry, with silently flowing tears and then with her body convulsing with sobs. She was unable to talk. After sitting with me in this state for several minutes, she started to choke out phrases, 1... 

We go to Jasmine s apartment. It was on the second story of a building at the top of the hill. A nice quiet location. Inner city rural America. An American flag waved over our heads as we entered the front door. 

Fully rotating nips with the winder attached are used for HMW-HDPE film because they result in better roll formation for the very low gauge film. If these are used with upward extrusion, it requires dealing with roll handling on the second story. If extrusion is downward, roll handling is easier, but extrusion is complicated. 

The need for second stories comes in large part from the presence of hindsight bias in all accidents, and especially in the local types of investigation common in health care. This is because the interests and knowledge limitations of the stakeholders create biases that are likely to obscure real issues and limit the erqjlanations of the accident, and this tendency is amplified by the severity of the consequences. As Reason puts it ... 

Description of the event(s) What happened Include proximal or immediate cause, including human error/failure, and emphasize the need to analyze for the second story of causation. Include a range of possible anticipated patient outcomes, based on information foimd in the literature, rather than the specific outcome of the actual case. 

One of your employees, Leroy, is doing diywalling on the second story of a building under construction. As he s working, he notices a hole in the floor. That s funny, he says to himself, I didn t notice that before. That thing should have a cover over it. ... 

Jerry was told by his supervisor to find a ladder to use to safely reach to the top of a second story roof. Jerry checked out the height of the roof (about 15 feet) and figured he needed to find a ladder about 20 feet long. Away he goes to find a ladder. He really wants to impress his supervisor and quickly finds a 20-foot ladder. 

Column and beam end rotations were measured by LVDTs installed at the member ends of the first and second stories. Load cells were located between actuators and test frame to measure story forces. Shear deformation of infill walls were monitored by diagonally positioned LVDTs on infill walls of the first and second stories. Reactions (bending moment, axial force and shear force) at the base of external columns were measured using two special force transducers (Canbay et al. 2004). These transducers were manufactured, calibrated, and placed between the base of external columns and the foundation. Longitudinal reinforcements of external columns were welded to base plates that were connected to transducers. Transducers were fixed to the fomidation block by using bolts. 

In order to determine the lateral displacement and load bearing capacity of the strengthened system, a displacement control reversed cyclic loading up to 66 mm of top displacement was applied to the specimen after the pseudo-dynamic tests. Figure 10.8 shows the reverse cyclic displacement protocol for the top story of the test frame. The cyclic displacement histories applied to the first and second stories were consistent with the first modal shape of the test frame. They were determined using the method proposed by Molina et al. (1999) and Maia and Silva (1997) by taking the top story displacement protocol into consideration. 

The D2-3 ground motion caused additional diagonal cracks in the infill walls of the first and second stories. Furthermore, flexural cracks at the boundary colunuis of the second story s infill wall were extended (Fig. 10.9). The maximum top displacement measured during the test was 28.8 nun and the corresponding IDRs were 0.61, 0.76 and 0.75 % for the first, second and third stories respectively. 

The O.lOg test was designed to induce minimum damage to the structure. After a visual inspection, no visible cracks on the columns or walls could be noted. Some hairline cracks that appeared on the surface of the wall at maximum displacement closed down at the end of the experiment. The recorded maximum top storey displacement was equal to 24 mm (towards the reaction wall) and —25 mm in the opposite direction (Fig. 17.7a). It should be noted that the variation of the displacements at the first and second stories is shown only up to about 11s, since a problem was encountered with the data acquisition system. The variation of the base shear with the top displacement in each of the frames is shown in Fig. 17.7b. As it can be observed from the figure, there is very little difference between the two frames. The maximum positive shears were 645 and 574 kN and the maximum negative shears were 634 and 625 kN, for the south and north frames, respectively. Based oti the results of the test and the observed damage, it can be considered that both walls reached their cracking moment. 

The bending moments in the second-story beam due to each of the three modes are computed similarly to obtain...

The second story, one from a collection of ascetic tales, recounts how an anonymous superior of a monastery in Asia Minor, probably on the coast of Asia Minor, came to Constantinople because of some problem in his community. He stayed at the Orphanotropheion together with many other monks including some heretical ones. The story described these ascetics gathered around an open hearth for warmth. ...
