The Descartes Query Language (DQL) enables to query the performance of a system using adapters to various solution approaches. Thereby, DQL is a realization of the vision of Declarative Performance Engineering (DPE) which decouples the description of user concerns (performance questions and goals) from the task of selecting and applying a specific solution approach. While model-based approaches...

When the U.S. conducts warfare, elements of a force are drawn from different Services and work together as a single team to accomplish an assigned mission on the basis of joint doctrine. To achieve such unified action, it is necessary that specific Service doctrines be both consistent with and subservient to joint doctrine. But there are two further requirements that flow from the ways in which...

In the context of quantaloid-enriched categories, we explain how each saturated class of weights defines, and is defined by, an essentially unique full sub-KZ-doctrine of the free cocompletion KZ-doctrine. The KZ-doctrines which arise as full sub-KZ-doctrines of the free cocompletion, are characterised by two simple “fully faithfulness” conditions. Conical weights form a saturated class, and th...

The TREAT paradigm and the doctrine of explanatory synthesis are both organizational methodologies and substantive theories designed to improve the substance of legal writing.

Mormons frequently refer to “Church Doctrine” in their theological discussions. For example, Sister Smith might express her belief that the earth is no more than five or six thousand years old and that the theory of evolution is a Satanically inspired plot. Brother Young responds by noting, “Those are just your opinions. That is not Church Doctrine.” Whatever else the term Church Doctrine might...

This article is a response to an article previously published in LJPC, which employed the doctrine of double effect to explain the Gillick judgement and exculpate health care workers who provide contraceptives and sexual health advice to under-16s. In this analysis, the two acts: provision of contraceptives and provision of sexual health advice are examined separately against the four criteria ...

In Battered Women and Sleeping Abusers: Some Reflections, Professor Joshua Dressler offers cogent criticism of the application of self-defense to battered women who kill their abusers under “nonconfrontational” circumstances, such as when the abuser is asleep. Dressler is critical of using evidence that the defendant suffered from “Battered Woman Syndrome” (“BWS”) to establish the requisite def...

Plaintiff instituted an action under the Federal Employers' Liability Act,' alleging that defendant was negligent in that it "should have known of the [defective mechanism and] . . . failed to make proper repairs." 2 The plaintiff at no time explicitly mentioned the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur; the defendant limited its defense to the question of damages.
