It is a truth universally acknowledged, that software documentation [Lethbridge et al, 2003] is a Good Thing, and spreadsheets are no exception [Morison & Jordan, 2000]. The FSA, in a recent newsletter [FSA, 2006], described what they had seen in the way of good practice for financial modelling systems: “Acceptable standards of documentation were established, agreed by the firm, and themselves ...

Since 1942, when Morison and Dempsey' first published the finding that stimulation of certain subcortical structures in the region of the internal medullary lamina resulted in widely distributed "rhythmically recurrent cortical potentials," there has been a steadily increasing interest in the physiological and anatomical parameters of this so-called "recruiting response." Subsequent investigati...

Relatively little has been published about the treatment of osteo-arthritis. Therapy consists mainly of analgesic drugs and local measures such as intra-articular corticosteroids and short-wave diathermy. Few controlled trials have been done and it is difficult to evaluate some reports owing to lack of distinction of response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and those with osteo-arthritis ...

Analyzing the vortex-induced vibration of a slender marine structure withlength to diameter ratio up to 200 is the objective of this study. This slender is free to move in both in-line and cross flow directions and immersed completely in water. Three different types of shear currents pass on it and cause to vibrate slender in different forms. Nowadays, these vibrations are very important for de...

Synthetic fibre mooring lines are used as an alternative to traditional steel wire ropes due their higher strength weight ratio. Benefits also found in relative ease of handling, and therefore the marine industry has largely accepted this type line. By rules regulations, design should be based on a coupled dynamic analysis particular system moored vessel. This approach incorporates damping iner...

In my article, Hayek, the Common Law, and Fluid Drive,1 I criticize the argument Friedrich Hayek presents for the “law of liberty” in the first volu m e of Law, Legislation and Liberty.2 I suggest that Hayek confuses customary law, which he refers to as “grow n” law , with modern common law, which he refers to as “ju d ge-m ad e” law , and writes as though these distinct types of law were ident...
