Stranger than fiction : the case histories of Sigmund Freud
… significance of Freud' s major case histories, through a close examination of three of the most famous: the cases of "Dora", "Schreber" and the "WolfMan". My investigation of the case histories themselves is prefaced, in Chapter One, by a selective review of some major strands in …

The role of surgery in inflammatory bowel disease: six case histories
The cases that have been described illustrate some of the many ways in which surgery may be employed in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Initially, laparotomy may be the only certain means of distinguishing Crohn's disease from a more sinister disgnosis such as lymphoma. …

Liquefaction Analysis of Level and Sloping Ground Using Field Case Histories and Penetration Resistance
… initially using the Lower San Fernando Dam case history.

An investigation of liquefied shear strength using novel centrifuge tests, direct simple shear tests, and field case histories
… results were compared and discussed. Field cases of flow liquefaction provide valuable information for liquefied shear strength because those failures provide realistic estimates of su(liq). An updated database of liquefaction-induced flow failures (now totaling 71 cases) was compiled as …

Student characteristics used to place children in the learning disabled category
… graduate students examined five hypothetical case histories which contained fourteen student characteristics. However, five of the fourteen student characteristics were selected for data analysis. The five student characteristics were: Classroom Achievement, Intellectual Functioning, …

Modeling the Bargaining Game Between Multinational Firms and Britain's Office of Fair Trading: An Exploratory Analysis
Few cases actually reach the MMC. The expense and intrusiveness of inquiries for both the target firms and the government lead to expectations that bargaining is preferred. Case histories of OFT and MMC decisions are reconstructed in order to determine why a negotiated settlement was or was not …

Case history-based analysis of liquefaction in sloping ground
… on empirical relationships back-calculated from case histories; (3) finite element methods involving constitutive models of sandy soils; and (4) combination laboratory testing and back-analysis of case histories or laboratory testing and finite element modeling. This study investigates approach …

The Residual Strength of Liquefied Soil
… soil (Sr) is via back calculations using case histories. However, the complexity of flow slides makes case histories difficult to interpret, and combined with the limited number of case histories, it inherently implies large uncertainties in the derived empirical relationships. Although …

Assessment of the Cyclic Strain Approach for the Evaluation of Initial Liquefaction
… 230 Standard Penetration Test liquefaction field case histories to investigate the performance of the cyclic strain approach for the evaluation of initial liquefaction relative to the cyclic stress approach. Additionally, the concept of the γtv is expressed in terms of the peak ground surface …

Drained shear strength of stiff clays for slope stability analyses
… soils, the shear strength mobilized in field case histories involving previous and no previous sliding in stiff clays, and develop empirical relationships that describe the stress-dependent nature of the residual and fully softened shear strengths in terms of soil index properties. To …

Case Studies Of The Events And Decisions Of Three California Tribal Governments Leading To The Opening Of Legal Indian Gaming
… the largest number of language groups. This is a case study of Indian gaming in California built around the experiences of three tribes and the events, processes and decisions leading to opening legal casinos in California. The three tribes are the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the Jamul …

Finite Element Analysis of Deep Excavations
… of deep excavation performance and recent case histories is presented. Factors affecting the performance of excavation support systems are examined, and performance data from recent published case histories is compared to data from Goldberg et al.'s 1976 report to the Federal Highway …

Interlayer stress absorbing composite (ISAC) for mitigating reflection cracking in asphalt concrete overlays
… in an AC overlay. After reviewing various case histories and having identified the problem areas in the treatments currently in use, a composite material consisting of two geotextile layers containing a thin viscoelastic rubber asphalt layer named, ""Interlayer Stress Absorbing Composite …

ORGANIC ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS IN FOOD
… contaminant -> food contaminant" model. Four case histories, undertaken to test this model, are presented here. Initial studies focused on tetrachloroethylene contamination of food from shops near to and distant from dry cleaning stores. Tetrachloroethylene was detected in butter/lard from all …

Moving Towards an Improved Liquefaction Hazard Framework: Lessons Resulting From the 2010-2011 Canterbury, New Zealand, Earthquake Sequence
… a database of 10,000 high-quality liquefaction case histories resulting from the CES. The objectives of these analyses are varied, but underlying each is the desire to more accurately assess liquefaction hazard for civil infrastructure (i.e., to predict both the occurrence and damage-potential …

Exit Stage Market: Market Structure, Interstate Economic Interdependence and Conflict
… of the exit model and its predictions. Case histories involving the U.S. and South Africa, China and the U.S., and Great Britain and Argentina illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the exit model as an analytical tool. A more systematic investigation of the model and its predictions …

Ground improvement using vacuum preloading together with prefabricated vertical drains
… throughout the world. A number of successful case histories of vacuum preloading using different techniques have been reported in the literature. The vacuum pressure, which is applied to the soft soil through the vertical drains, results in an isotropic increase in effective stress within the …

Expert systems in A.C. induction motor fault diagnosis.
… hierarchical tree of frames and data base of case histories of motor faults. The architecture, implemented in Prolog and C programming languages, provides a graphical user interface and direct connection to data gathering/analysis equipment for real-time (relative to the time constraints of …
