Full textAbstract:
The medieval English Court of Chancery is not a well-known institution. Its Victorian great-granddaughter—if to posit such a relationship does the antecedent justice—has a far broader public for its much darker persona, thanks to Jarndyce and Jarndyce. Even Chancery's Jacobean descendant looms larger in the historical memory than does its medieval forebear, if only for the celebrated battle between Chancellor Ellesmere and Coke, CJ. Perhaps with the brief tenure of St. Thomas More, brought into our own popular culture by playwright Robert Bolt and actor Paul Scofield, the early Chancery emerges for a moment, although the court under More was overshadowed by that chancellor's more difficult trials. In fact, the Chancery as a court has been subsumed in a multitude of studies on the Chancery as an administrative office. It appears in essays on government, councils and parliaments, writing offices and administrative centers. Yet the court that grew around the chancellor was not the sum, or even just a part, of his activity as the leading administrator of the realm. Still, with a few exceptions, the medieval Court of Chancery has never been afforded the same careful and discrete treatment its Elizabethan successor has received. The older court remains a footnote to administrative history, something just on the far side of the light cast by St German and Tudor records.

Of all the crown courts in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ireland, the chancery court has received the most favourable judgement from historians. Through its exercise of equity, the chancery court has been perceived as a mediator between English common law and Gaelic customary law. Equity provided the chancellor with the possibility of considering a judgement from the point of view of ‘reason and conscience’, to ensure what W. J. Jones has called the ‘protection of the innocent from the ruthless specifications’ of common law courts. In Irish terms this meant that the chancellor was prepared to consider Gaelic forms of partible inheritance from the standpoint of equity. In Gaelic society land descended according to a variety of customs which, it was argued in chancery, had been observed ‘time out of mind’ in a particular family or region and therefore in fairness or equity might be upheld even if they were contrary to common law practice.This benign view of the Irish chancery court’s attitude to Gaelic customary law has much in common with the attitude of the English chancery court towards women. Historians of early modern England have portrayed chancery as a judicial forum which provided women with legal redress which would have been denied them at common law. Female litigants in the sixteenth-century English chancery court included single, widowed and married women. Under common law, only single women and widows were entitled to legal representation in their own right. Married women, as femmes couvertes, were legally merged with their husbands on marriage, and so could not bring cases in their own name at common law. In the English chancery court, however, a small number of married women were permitted at the discretion of the chancellor to sue on their own without their husbands. In the course of the sixteenth century the English chancery also contributed to the extension of the legal franchise of women.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article uses fifteenth-century Chancery court bills to demonstrate how women negotiated solutions to social and legal disputes not just in Chancery but through a variety of legal jurisdictions. This approach sheds light on women's actions in courts where the records have not survived, and it also adds nuance to the long-running debate about whether equity was a more favorable jurisdiction for women than the common law. By bringing into view other jurisdictions—such as manorial, borough, and ecclesiastical ones—it demonstrates how litigants might pursue justice in a number of arenas, consecutively or concurrently. Some women approached Chancery because they did not think they would get justice in a lower court, while others were keen that their cases be sent back down so that they could be fully recompensed for the offences against them. A fuller understanding of the disputes to which Chancery bills refer complicates our understanding of why women “chose” Chancery. Chancery is only one piece of the puzzle of how women negotiated justice in late medieval England, but its records can also shed light on some of the missing pieces.

Remarks on the Court of Chancery and the Equity System in EnglandSummaryThe Court of Chancery was a significant element in the English judicial system which operated outside the sphere of com m on law. Throughout hundreds o f years, the Court of Chancery developed a unique branch of equity law, which co-existed with the com m on law. This was very similar to the Roman ius civile and the praetorian law. Although the Court was abolished in the 19th century, its jurisdiction is still applied by the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. The equity law, intended to be a remedy for the strict rules of com m on law, borrowed much from the Roman law. M any chancellors and masters in Chancery, having obtained a D. C. L or LL. D degree were open to adopt Rom an law rules into the C ourt’s practice. In the opinion of some scholars, some of the equity rules were borrowed from the Rom an law, like trust (fideicomissum) or elements of mortgage (equity o f redemption). M any „rules of equity” have also their origin in the Roman jurisprudence.

Full textAbstract:
Delaware’s statutorily afforded right of appraisal is once again a hot topic. In an appraisal action, the Delaware Court of Chancery is charged with the task of determining the fair value of recently acquired Delaware corporations. However, the appraisal process is not an easy one, in no small part, to the inflexible statute guiding the appraisal procedure. The process is further complicated by the Delaware Supreme Court’s mandate that the Court of Chancery not to employ a bright line test in determining the fair value even for those transactions that were the result of a free and open market process. As a result, the courts are often left second-guessing a merger value that was the product of a fair merger process. I propose that in an arms-length third-party cash-out merger, the entire fairness standard of review is the appropriate standard to determine fair value within an appraisal action. A statutory safe harbor allowing the judiciary the opportunity to examine the process by which the target company and acquiring company arrived at the final merger value versus questioning the substance of the merger would serve the M&A and shareholder community well. In the absence of a legislative fix, the Court of Chancery has, at the least, provided buyers, sellers, and arbitrageurs alike, with scenarios that will likely result in the court determining that the merger rice is, in fact, the best representation of fair value. Essentially, when the inputs typically used by the court for determining fair value are in some way flawed, the court will likely conclude that the merger price is the best representation of fair value.

Westlake, David. "Positive representation of Inns of Court lawyers in Jacobean city comedy." Thesis, Brunel University, 2010. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/4530.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines representations of lawyers and law in examples of Jacobean city comedy, taking into account certain contemporary developments in the legal profession and the law in England. The period covered is 1598-1616. The thesis questions the conventional interpretation of city comedy as hostile to the legal profession. It suggests the topic is more complex than has been assumed, arguing that city comedy makes direct and indirect positive representation of Inns of Court lawyers, who are to be distinguished from attorneys (newly segregated in the Inns of Chancery), amateur quasi-lawyers, and university-educated civil lawyers. It is proposed that city comedy represents Inns of Court lawyers positively in two ways. Firstly, by means of legal content: representations of developments in the profession and the law demonstrate a wish to connect with the young lawyers and students of the Inns of Court, and reflect a contemporary drive by them for increased organization and regulation. Secondly, by means of literary form: ostensibly pejorative representations need not be taken at face value; instead, they may be found to be ironic. The main proposed contributions to knowledge are: that Inns of Court lawyers were a favoured part of the target audience of the private playhouses, making it questionable that they would be represented negatively in city comedy; that lawyers as represented in city comedy are not a single or a simple category; that representation of lawyers is inflected by the various forms and impulses of city comedy; and that city comedy incorporates some reflection of the increasing professionalization of legal practice in the period.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse de doctorat consiste en une enquête globale sur le développement de l’humanisme dans le contexte du retour de la cour pontificale en Italie, au moment d’une crise majeure, le Grand Schisme d’Occident. Notre travail se propose, avant toute chose, de nouer les fils de deux histoires généralement conçues comme distinctes et d’en éclairer les interactions. Il s’agit, d’une part, de l’émergence, au tournant du XVe siècle, d’une génération d’intellectuels que l’on considère comme les représentants d’un humanisme arrivé à pleine maturité après un siècle et demi de gestation et, d’autre part, de la réinstallation du pouvoir pontifical à Rome, une entreprise politique dont la première phase fut marquée par une longue et fort complexe lutte pour l’unité et la stabilité. Le propos est organisé en trois parties accompagnées d’une série d’annexes complémentaires (tableaux prosopographiques, typologies des corpus rhétoriques et diplomatiques, éditions de documents d’archives et de pièces littéraires). Y sont successivement étudiées la constitution d’un milieu savant, son insertion dans l’histoire et le fonctionnement de la curie au cours des pontificats d’Innocent VII, Grégoire XII, Alexandre V et Jean XXIII ainsi que durant les conciles de Pise et de Constance, et la composition d’un modèle rhétorique complet mis au service de la propagande pontificale. Les dynamiques socio-institutionnelles et les principes idéologiques et éthiques qui furent à l’origine d’une collaboration féconde entre humanisme et papauté sont particulièrement mis en valeur, de même que les voies de création d’une mémoire et d’une éloquence communesThis dissertation consists of a comprehensive appraisal of the development of humanism in the context of the return of the pontifical court in Italy at the time of a major crisis, the Great Western Schism. Our work primarily aims at linking two stories, generally conceived as distinct, and enlightening interactions between them. These are, firstly, the emergence of a generation of intellectuals that are considered to be representatives of a humanism that reached its full maturity after a century and a half of gestation and, secondly, the re-establishment of the pontifical power in Rome, a political enterprise whose first phase was characterized by a long and very complex struggle for unity and stability. This thesis is as follows : it examines firstly the construction of a scholarly network, secondly its relationship to historical and institutionnal contexts, namely the operation of the curia during the pontificates of Innocent VII, Gregory XII, Alexander V and John XXIII and the councils of Pisa and Constance. Finallyit it investigates the elaboration of a complete rhetorical model that served the papal propaganda. The socio-institutional dynamics and the ideological and ethical principles that served as the basis of a fruitful collaboration between humanism and papacy are highlighted, as well as ways of creating a memory and a common eloquence. This dissertation includes a series of additional annexes (prosopographical tables, typologies of rhetorical and diplomatic corpus, and editions of archival and literary documents)

Full textAbstract:
L’éducation et la formation sont des institutions centrales de notre société. Garantes de l’intégration sociale et professionnelle des individus, elles ont aussi été érigées en piliers stratégiques du dynamisme économique dans la « société de la connaissance » (CE, 2000). Pour autant, bien que porteuses des valeurs démocratiques, elles sont le lieu d’observation de nombreuses inégalités, tant en formation initiale que professionnelle. Dans un contexte de précarisation du marché du travail, où le diplôme est nécessaire mais ne semble plus suffire pour assurer une intégration professionnelle stable, l’essor des Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) questionne. À partir d’une enquête mixte longitudinale, cette recherche s’est attachée à répondre à la problématique générale suivante : dans quelle mesure l’égalité formelle d’accès aux MOOC se traduit-elle par une égalité des chances pour les individus de les utiliser, d’y réussir et d’en tirer des bénéfices (objectifs et subjectifs) ? Cette étude des usages sociaux des MOOC et de leurs effets dans les trajectoires individuelles a été réalisée à partir de l’analyse de 5709 réponses d’inscrits au sein de 12 MOOC de France Université Numérique (FUN), réinterrogés un an plus tard (n=1778), et de 32 entretiens. Arguant en faveur d’une reproduction sociale des inégalités d’accès, les résultats montrent que l’égalité formelle d’accès ne suffit pas à une appropriation par tous de ces ressources. Ces usages restent principalement le fait d’individus détenant un capital humain élevé, bénéficiant d’une « insertion professionnelle assurée » (Paugam, 2007[2000]), coutumiers de la formation professionnelle et ayant d’intenses pratiques culturelles. Plus qu’une nouvelle voie d’accès à la formation, les MOOC semblent constituer un moyen supplémentaire, nécessitant des prérequis implicites. Pour autant, la construction d’une typologie d’usage a permis de mettre au jour que les MOOC peuvent constituer, même pour ces derniers, une réelle opportunité de formation. Majoritairement saisis dans un rapport a priori désintéressé de loisirs culturels, ils sont aussi utilisés pour satisfaire des objectifs formatifs variés. Ces six registres d’usage sont par ailleurs plus faiblement déterminés. L’évaluation de la réussite, lorsque les critères de l’achèvement et de la certification sont pertinents, met en évidence, pour ces individus favorisés, une égalité des chances d’y parvenir. Bien que ces usages sociaux n’aient, à court terme, aucun effet objectivable sur les trajectoires socio-professionnelles, ils sont porteurs de bénéfices plus subjectifs. Selon les particularités et la temporalité des « parcours biographiques » (Bourdon, 2010), ils participent au développement des identités personnelles et professionnelles ainsi qu’à une amélioration du vécu de certaines transitions. Loin de concurrencer en France le rôle des diplômes dans les parcours sociaux, les MOOC semblent plutôt en constituer un nouveau halo et participer à l’avènement d’une ère du signalement tout au long de la vieEducation and vocational training are central institutions in today’s society. They play an important role in guaranteeing people’s social and professional integration. They are also considered strategic pillars of economic growth in “the knowledge society” (CE, 2000). However, despite their basis in democratic values and principles, there are still many inequalities in access and outcomes in both compulsory academic and vocational education. Moreover, because of the increasing flexibility and insecurity of work in the current labor market, a diploma is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for stable employment. In this context, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) raises questions about their contribution to the educational aims of equality and efficacy. Based on a mixed-methods approach, this thesis addresses the following research problem: To what extent does the formal equality of MOOC give people equal opportunities to use them, succeed in them, and earn tangible and subjective benefits? The analyses are carried out on data collected from 5709 people enrolled in 12 MOOC on the FUN platform, interviewed again one year later (n=1778), and on 32 interviews. Results show that the use of MOOC seems to reproduce social inequalities in educational access. Indeed, the people who enroll already have high levels of human capital and highly stable and qualified employment; furthermore, they are accustomed to professional training and have intense cultural practices. Rather than acting as a new way to access education and training for underserved people, MOOC seem to be a new resource for privileged individuals, and access to them appears to require implicit prerequisites. However, the typology of MOOC uses shows that even for these people, MOOC can be an additional training opportunity. Mainly used for disinterested purposes, such as “edutainment” or cultural interest, they are also real training and educational supports. Nevertheless, these types of uses are not strongly determined. When achievement and certification are used as indicators to assess the success of these social uses, results show no social inequalities in outcomes. However, at least in the short term, participating in a MOOC does not have any tangible impact on professional careers: Rather, their effects are subjective. Considering the “biographical path” of these people (Bourdon, 2010), I find that they use MOOC both to sustain individual and professional identities and to facilitate social transitions. Instead of competing with the role played by diplomas in France, MOOC seem to be a new “halo” of these educational credentials, participating in the development of the need to acquire skills throughout one’s career and reinforcing the trend towards life-long learning

Full textAbstract:
This study examines fifty petitions sent to the Court of Chancery between 1389 and 1515 that relate to abduction. Although abduction was a serious problem in late medieval England, there have been few previous studies of the subject, and none have made use of Chancery petitions. This source sheds light on the way victims of abduction, or more often their families, presented their cases to the court. Many victims were young women who had been placed in wardship, suggesting that concerns over money and property, not primarily sexual violence, were paramount in such cases. Some of the other issues addressed include the point of view of the accused abductor, the problem of terminology, and the question of the victim's consent. The position that victims were viewed merely as male-owned property is criticized. The role of the family, and particularly mothers, in abduction cases is also examined. Finally, two cases in which the alleged abduction eventually resulted in the marriage of victim and abductor demonstrate that claims of abduction should not be simply taken at face value by historians. Rather, these petitions demonstrate the shifting claims of power exerted by various parties.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces the history of the Court of Chancery and equity. The equitable jurisdiction derived from the extraordinary jurisdiction of the king’s council. By 1400 the chancellor had his own court and was issuing decrees in his own name. It was not tied to law but could coerce the conscience of a defendant, for instance to desist from an unconscionable suit at law. Equity was not in conflict with the law, but there was a dispute between Coke and Ellesmere in 1615 over injunctions after judgment. Most equitable principles began with relief given on the facts of individual cases, but the multitude of suits generated common principles, many of which were elucidated by Lord Nottingham. The court’s initially informal procedure became unmanageably complex as more suitors resorted to it. The later Chancery was a byword for delay and despair; the chapter ends with an account of its reform.

Full textAbstract:
According to the Article 13 of the Law No. 2577, even though one must apply to the authorities as a preliminary condition of court case before filing a fully judicial lawsuit in terms of the administrative action, Article 13 of Law No. 2577 with its current form does not provide a contribution to the provision of the pre-trial dispute resolution. The Decree Law No. 659 set up the way for application which would also include the compensation claims arising from administrative actions that were designed according to The Article 13 of Law No. 2577. In this arrangement , the preference is left to the person concerned to make a choice either to refer to peace or not to against losses arising from administrative processes; one is not given the chance to eliminate the loses by means of peace during the process of law after administrative process is cancelled by law; this also prevents us to come to the desired objective because it doesn’t provide adequate legal assurance to the top executives and members of the legal disputes commission for their business and operations.

We consider the election control problem in social networks which consists in exploiting social influence in a network of voters to change their opinion about a target candidate with the aim of increasing his chances to win (constructive control) or lose (destructive control) the election. Previous works on this problem focus on plurality voting systems and on a influence model in which the opinion of the voters about the target candidate can only change by shifting its ranking by one position, regardless of the amount of influence that a voter receives. We introduce Linear Threshold Ranking, a natural extension of Linear Threshold Model, which models the change of opinions taking into account the amount of exercised influence. In this general model, we are able to approximate the maximum score that a target candidate can achieve up to a factor of 1-1/e by showing submodularity of the objective function. We exploit this result to provide a 1/3(1-1/e)-approximation algorithm for the constructive election control problem and a 1/2(1-1/e)-approximation ratio in the destructive scenario. The algorithm can be used in arbitrary scoring rule voting systems, including plurality rule and borda count.

The state of the reactor vessel steel embrittlement as a result of neutron irradiation is reflected by its increase in ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) in fracture toughness versus temperature curve. Higher DBTT implies a decrease in fracture toughness and an increase in the chance of vessel fracture in brittle fracture mode. The extent of degradation that the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) vessel has experienced is characterized by its probability of fracture that is defined as a probability count of the number of critical cracks in the reactor vessel based on a distribution of possible cracks. In this paper, the fracture probabilities under the accident pressure conditions against possible HFIR operating life are calculated for the safety analysis of the reactor vessel. Conventional methods of fracture probability calculation such as that adopted by the NRC-sponsored PRAISE CODE and the FAVOR CODE developed in this Laboratory are based on Monte Carlo simulation. Heavy computations are required. The present calculations are based on a new method of fracture probability calculation that was developed by applying direct probability integration [1]. This method offers simple and expedient procedure to obtain numerical values of fracture probability yet retains all possible features that a Monte Carlo simulation can possibly accomplish.

Full textAbstract:
In the wide framework of Scan-to-BIM 3D modelling procedures, the complexity of the architectural heritage and its components is evidencing a gap of best practices and specification in the HBIM-modeling and thus it is requiring important considerations about the modelling strategies and protocols between the requested level of detail (LOD), the expect accuracy and above all the actual use-oriented requirements. Several works are largely focusing on developing workflows for traditional static LiDAR scanning sensors. However, the chance to benefit from on-site faster data acquisition is needful at times, and procedures are directing toward rapid mapping 3D approaches, evolving from traditional static scanning toward MMS (Mobile Mapping Systems) based on SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms implemented in portable devices. The potential of these solutions can contribute to increase a massive cost-effective documentation, and also in view of BIM-HBIM modelling generation, and this needs further researches. At the same time, the descriptive capabilities of this class of portable scanners do not reach the precision of the static solutions. Many time-cost balance evaluations towards an analysis of geometry, grade of generation (GOG) and details can be thus conducted. This paper presents a first comparison between TLS (Faro Focus 3D) and hand-held scanner Zeb Revo (by GeoSLAM) of the entire workflow (from raw data acquisition up to parametric modeling) focusing on the Bramante’s Canonica Court in the Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio. First, the two raw data are compared, considering geometric features (data density, precision, possibility to detect edges, details and accurate curvature). Then, some well-established modelling procedures developed for TLS data, as triangulation mesh and NURBS generation, are applied to MMS point cloud to identify their suitability. Different elements belonging to the architectural structure hierarchy are considered in a multi-scale perspective: the vaulted system of the porch, the columns and the arches of the porch with their different architectural elements.

Full textAbstract:
Within the agricultural policies of the country, supports are provided to producers for the implementation of certain activities. Sufficiency of such supports feedbacks received from the target groups using these supports.
There are 141 agricultural facilities in Seferihisar dealing with organic farming and these facilities constituted the research universe. Full-count method was used to determine the research sample. A face-to-face questionnaire was performed with 100 farmers dealing with organic farming. Basic descriptive statistics were used to put forth the socio-economic status of the farmers, facility characteristics and their current status with regard to use of available agricultural supports. The factors influencing the use of available agricultural supports were analyzed by “Logistic Regression” method.
Logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the utilization levels of available policies by the farmers dealing with organic farming. Farmer age was identified as the most significant factor influencing the utilization level of consultancy services provided by the state. On the other hand, credit utilization was identified as the most significant factor for the deficiency payments and fuel-fertilizer supports. Education levels was the most significant factor in using supports provided for organic farming and age was the most significant factor in using soil analysis supports.
Results revealed age, educational level, credit use capability and land size as the most significant factors in utilization of agricultural policies and state supports. Development of such characteristics of the producers will increase the chance of success of available policies and proper allocation of agricultural supports.

Introdução: O Instituto Verdeluz é uma ONG ambientalista que atua na cidade de Fortaleza e região metropolitana, contendo 4 projetos. Um destes projetos é o GTAR, que atua na pesquisa e conservação com as cinco espécies de tartarugas marinhas que ocorrem no litoral brasileiro, sendo elas Tartaruga-Verde (Chelonia Mydas), Tartaruga-de-Pente (Eretmochelys imbricata), Tartaruga-de-Couro (Dermochelys coriácea), Tartaruga-Oliva (Lepidochelys olivácea) e Tartaruga-Cabeçuda (Caretta caretta). Ainda que em diferentes níveis, estas espécies são classificas como ameaçadas, sendo a Tartaruga-Verde, objeto de estudo deste projeto, classificada como vulnerável e em perigo, segundo o Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA) e União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza e dos Recursos Naturais (IUCN), respectivamente. Estes animais são conhecidos por sua migração entre áreas de alimentação, reprodução e nidificação, sendo o litoral Cearense utilizado principalmente na alimentação e ovoposição. Objetivo: O presente estudo visou analisar os encalhes de Chelonia mydas no litoral de Fortaleza, afim de fomentar práticas de conservação da espécie e indicar características de praias e da espécie que aumentam as chances de encalhes. Material e Métodos: Foram utilizados metadados coletados pelo Instituto Verdeluz entre 2016 e 2018, sendo eles: data, horário e local do encalhe, medidas de tamanho (largura e comprimento do casco), sexo (masculino, feminino ou indefinido), faixa etária (filhote, juvenil ou adulto) e estado do indivíduo, totalizando 48 ocorrências. Através do programa BioEstat, foram realizadas análises de distribuição e correlação entre os dados da ocorrência e as características das praias no momento do encalhe. RESULTADOS: Os resultados apontaram que fêmeas tem maior probabilidade de encalharem do que os machos e os indivíduos sexo indefinido. A localização do encalhe nas praias de Fortaleza não causa uma alteração significativa no número de encalhes, uma vez que todas possuem grau de proximidade e formações arenosas semelhantes. A maré e o tamanho do casco influenciam diretamente no número de encalhes, pois ambos dificultam a volta do animal para o mar. Conclusão: Projetos de pesquisa e conservação sobre tartarugas marinhas, como o GTAR-Verdeluz, mostram-se essenciais para a conservação da espécie, pois o conhecimento mais profundo das ameaças a espécie nos permite realizar atividades de conservação mais eficazes.

Full textAbstract:
A multiple integral representation has been developed to analytically model the probability of failure of reactor vessel. The probability of fracture is a basic methodology for projecting for the life of a new vessel as well as to estimate the remaining life of an existing vessel. The integral representation for the probability of fracture calculation is based on the number count of critical cracks across the whole section of a vessel, based on a given calibrated crack distribution function, obtained by experimental examination of the vessel cross section. Multiple integral is implemented because of the degraded, or variable, fracture toughness and other factors representing the variable facture toughness. For example, the nuclear reactor vessel that is subjected to neutron radiation, will increase the reactor vessel steel brittleness. The effect of neutron irradiation can be calibrated by its increase in ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) in fracture toughness versus temperature curve. Higher DBTT implies a decrease in fracture toughness and an increase in the chance of vessel fracture in brittle fracture mode. The extent of degradation that the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) vessel has experienced is characterized by its probability of fracture in this paper. The fracture probabilities under the accident pressure conditions against possible HFIR operating life are calculated for the safety analysis of the reactor vessel. Conventional numerical methods of fracture probability calculation such as that adopted by the NRC-sponsored PRAISE CODE and the FAVOR CODE developed in this Laboratory are based on Monte Carlo simulation. Heavy computations are required. The present method of Probability Integral has been used to verify numerical results of approximately 8–10 reports on HFIR remaining-life calculations by Cheverton using FAVOR CODE for the installation of HFIR new cold neutron source. The numerical result based on the method of Probability Integral confirms almost exactly as compared with that obtained by Monte Carlo Method adopted by FAVOR CODE. This Method of Probability Integral, because of its analytical structure, shows the clear physical interpretation of the fracture probability. It provides simple and expedient procedure to obtain numerical values of fracture probability. Moreover, it retains all possible features that the Monte Carlo Method of simulation can accomplish.
