Going global, turning back national: Towards a cosmopolitan administrative law?

Ten years ago, the global administrative law project represented a new promised land for administrative lawyers, escaping the crisis that was affecting the fundamental pillars of administrative law at national level. In these ten years, the global administrative law scholarship did a very good and hard job. It discovered new lands, challenging cognate disciplines and refreshing the mind of a scientific community traditionally enclosed in the national boundaries. From this point of view, global administrative law pushed for a significant renewal of national administrative law: sometimes you have to go to the moon to have a better and more comprehensive view of the Earth. Another important contribution of the global administrative scholarship was the rebirth of comparative studies, beyond the traditional cross-country approach. That is why going to the global level and turning back to the national one with a stronger comparative approach can open up a new frontier of cosmopolitan administrative law, which is everywhere concerned with the double task of empowering public authorities and controlling the bureaucratic behavior and dominated by functional needs and the logic of collective action.

2205 リスク連鎖基本モデルに基づく設計プロジェクトのリスク特定法(OS1-1 製品設計開発のためのモデリング・方法論・マネジメントI,OS1 製品設計開発のためのモデリング・方法論・マネジメント)

An engineering design project includes various types of uncertainties. They cause risk that a project goal cannot be accomplished within lead time. A design project manager should identify potential risk factors and causal relations among them in a project. Although it is worthwhile to spend much time on a workshop for project members to understand unnoticed risks, it is often a hard job to identify risk factors and causal relations in a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive way. This paper proposes a risk identification method based on a fundamental model of a risk chain mechanism in an engineering design project in order to support a project manager and project members to systematically identify potential risk factors and causal relations among them. A proposed method provides categories of typical risk factors in an engineering design project. A typical chain mechanism among those categories is also defined. Those elements in a fundamental model can facilitate a project manager and project members to find unnoticed factors in a project. A case study of a risk workshop for a student formula car design project is demonstrated to show that the proposed method facilitates project members to understand potential risk factors and to build a comprehensive risk chain model.

Gaming Is a Hard Job, but Someone Has to Do It!

We establish some general schemes relating the computational complexity of a video game to the presence of certain common elements or mechanics, such as destroyable paths, collectible items, doors opened by keys or activated by buttons or pressure plates, etc. Then we apply such “metatheorems” to several video games published between 1980 and 1998, including Pac-Man, Tron, Lode Runner, Boulder Dash, Pipe Mania, Skweek, Prince of Persia, Lemmings, and Starcraft. We obtain both new results, and improvements or alternative proofs of previously known results.

Brian Kobilka

> ### Preamble by Robert Lefkowitz > > It’s a great source of personal pride and pleasure for me to introduce this interview with Dr. Brian Kobilka. Brian’s major contributions to science have been in elucidating the structure and mechanism of activation of G-protein–coupled receptors using primarily the beta 2 adrenergic receptor as a model. Brian’s interest in this area began about 30 years ago when he came to my laboratory as a cardiology fellow at Duke University to do post-doctoral research. He had already completed his medical degree at Yale and House Staff training at Washington University in Saint Louis. During his years in my laboratory, even at this very early stage in his career, the talents which would ultimately allow Brian to achieve his recent successes in crystallizing G-protein–coupled receptors and G-protein–coupled receptor complexes, were already apparent. These include remarkable technical creativity applied to seemingly intractable problems, persistence in the face of failure, and a seemingly unlimited tolerance for risk in the projects that he undertakes. > > In this interview Brian talks about the keys to his success. He wisely points out that there is no one “right” way to proceed in the lab to be successful. Rather, each one of us has to do it in a way which maximizes the particular talents and gifts that we have. One of the features that makes Brian’s own work so impressive is the consistent level of originality and creativity that he has brought to defeating technical hurdles which have obstructed forward progress by others in the field. > > I applaud Brian’s balanced approach to life. In addition to his devotion to his science, he is devoted to his family and also finds time for healthy leisure pursuits such as cycling and running. Any young (or not so young) scientist reading this interview could not find a better role model …

The automatic normalisation challenge: detailed addresses identification

The correct attribution of scientific publications to their true owners is extremely important, considering the detailed evaluation processes and the future investments based upon them. This attribution is a hard job for bibliometricians because of the increasing amount of documents and the raise of collaboration. Nevertheless, there is no published work with a comprehensive solution of the problem. This article introduces a procedure for the detailed identification and normalisation of addresses to facilitate the correct allocation of the scientific production included in databases. Thanks to our long experience in the manual normalisation of addresses, we have created and maintained various master lists. We have already developed an application to detect institutional sectors (issued in a previous paper) and now we analyse the details of particular institutions, taking advantage of our master tables. To test our methodology we have implemented it in a Spanish data set already manually codified (95,314 unique addresses included in the year 2008 on the Web of Science databases). This data was analysed with a full text search against our master lists, giving optional codes for each address and choosing which one could be automatically encoded and which one should be reviewed manually. The results of the implementation, comparing the automatic versus manual codes, showed 87 % automatically codified records with 1.9 % of error. We should review manually only 13 %. Finally, we applied the Wilcoxon non-parametric test to show the validity of the methodology, comparing detailed codes of centres already encoded with the automatically encoded ones, and concluding that their distribution was similar with a significance of 0.078.

가진 시험 방법을 활용한 자동차 도어 플레이트 모듈 슬램 내구 평가

Slam testing is a mandatory testing process to evaluate the fatigue resistance of a door plate module before delivering it to car makers. This process is very hard job to complete it since the testing facilities are considerably expensive and the required testing time is relatively very long, i.e. more than eight days for a single specimen. In this paper, an accelerated testing method of a door plate module is proposed using vibration test equipment instead of the current one by exposing to the critical excitation of a door glass. Under the proposed excitation method, the similar testing result can be evaluated within less than two hours. The suitability of the proposed testing method was demonstrated by comparing failure modes of both the current testing method and the proposed one.

Reflections of a Newly Appointed Consultant

I had no idea what kind of medicine I wanted to practise when I left medical school. What I did know was that I didn't want to do psychiatry, and I didn't want to do obstetrics and gynaecology. My father is a GP, and I thought I'd follow in his footsteps, but general practice struck me as a tough specialty. In my opinion the hardest job in the NHS to do well, but one of the easiest to do badly. I was jealous of my peers at medical school who loudly declared their love of a particular specialty, and trauma and orthopaedics was particularly popular. I ended up in Colchester, Essex where I met two people who changed my life forever.

Editorial

Welcome to issue 1 of 2012 and a belated Happy New Year to all CLAE readers and BCLA members. The hardest job I had for this issue was to decide which papers to include and which papers to hang on to and save for issue 2 of 2012. At the end of December when I was choosing the content for this issue there were additional 5 papers that could have been included. The final choice came down to various factors; such as first come first served – i.e. which papers had been ready and waiting the longest; secondly which papers had been submitted the earliest; are there similar papers so that it may be beneficial to publish them alongside this paper; and also was the content something which needed to be out there quicker than other papers as it was a current hot topic? But it should be noted that once papers are proofed and deemed ready by authors they are published in the epub version and put online for others to see in their final version.

Quality Management System Is A Change Management Process

Having a successful Quality Management System is a very hard job and requires all parties within the organization to work as one hand and all to push in one direction. This is why only few organizations around the globe who managed to go in a successful Quality Journey and get benefited from its enormous advantages. From experience, the Author believes that one of the most effective methodologies for the organization to follow (for a successful Quality Journey) is to approach it as a complete Change Management Process. In the following part, the Author tries to provide the organization with some suggestions for activities or actions to do in light of Kurt Lewin’s Change Model.

Bilateral Elastofibroma Dorsi

Elastofibroma dorsi is a slow-growing, noncapsulated, benign, solid, and soft tissue tumor. It is usually located in the infrascapular region, between the thorax wall and serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi. Although elastofibroma dorsi is usually unilateral, it is also bilateral in 10% of the cases. The pathogenesis of the lesion still remains unclear. Elastofibroma dorsi should be considered in differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors due to their specific location. As it exhibits benign behavior, it should be surgically removed only in symptomatic patients. A case bilateral elastofibroma dorsi is described and presented.

A Note on the Relationship Between Solutions of Einstein, Ramanujan and Chazy Equations

The Einstein equation for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric plays a fundamental role in cosmology. The direct search of the exact solutions of the Einstein equation even in this simple metric case is sometime a hard job. Therefore, it is useful to construct solutions of the Einstein equation using a known solutions of some other equations which are equivalent or related to the Einstein equation. In this work, we establish the relationship the Einstein equation with two other famous equations namely the Ramanujan equation and the Chazy equation. Both these two equations play an imporatant role in the number theory. Using the known solutions of the Ramanujan and Chazy equations, we find the corresponding solutions of the Einstein equation. The relationship between the Friedmann equation and the equations of the trefoil knot and figure-eight knot is established.

International Studies in the Global Information Age

The Global Information Age poses new and interesting questions for the study of international affairs. This Presidential Address surveys recent developments in commercialized and globalized information technologies that have and will continue to impact political and social relationships around the world. These new technologies affect power relationships among states, as well between states and civil society. They also present possibilities for new forms of global accountability and participation in governance. Finally, a range of technologies offer new and powerful ways to collect data for our research that allow us to ask new questions. President Simmons concludes as a result that exploratory empirical research is more enticing than ever before, but cautions that we should never think we can outsource the hard job of thinking to the very technologies that make innovative research possible in the first place.

Statistics and Bioinformatics Ethnicity

th century with the joint development by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat in probability theory. The scope of statistics increased in the early 19 th century which included the collection and analysis of data in general. This probability theory aroused from the studies made in games of chance. Large-scale statistical computation is required in computation nowadays, and new methods that are tough to perform manually are done with the help of statistics. Biostatistics plays a critical importance in the foundation of modern biology theories. The rediscovery of Mendel's work created gaps in understanding between genetics and evolutionary Darwinism and led to debate between biometricians like, Walter Weldon, Karl Pearson, Charles Davenport, William Bateson and Wilhelm Johannsen. Models built on statistical reasoning had helped to solve these variances and to generate the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis. Bioinformatics is a novel branch of science stands in-between biology and informatics, which is itself a new area of research. Therefore, bioinformatics is concerned with creation and application of information-based methodologies to analyze biological data sets and the contained information. The wide adoption of technologies like microarrays, genome sequencing projects has resulted in accumulation of large amount of data daily. Hence, to extract automatically extraction and analysis of these data sets is required. To fill this gap new tools are designed with the help of bioinformatics. Mathematical techniques and statistical methods are the natural solution to this problem. Statistics is helpful in predicting unknown system with the application of mathematical model to the observations obtained from the unknown system. Various fields and recent applications which received the boon of statistics in bioinformatics are depicted in this review article. Some examples like Abstract The outcome of the information by bioinformatics is enormous nowadays. Due to this rapid increment in information, collecting and analysing became a quite hard job. To reduce this encumbrance, various statistical methods are developed. This review paper contains how statistics helped in tool designing for finding genes in genomic DNA where biologists needed in plenty, in Phylogenetic trees, in microarrays, in alignment, in sequence analysis, in BLAST and various other implementations.
