Abstract:

thesis investigates the question of private competition damages actions arising from contraventions of the South African Competition Act 89 of 1998. The South African Competition Act has been actively and successfully enforced for almost 15 years. Great success has been achieved by the Competition Commission in uncovering cartel conduct and prosecuting contraventions of the Competition Act. The successful prosecution of contraventions of the Competition Act has resulted in contravening firms being ordered to pay millions of Rand in administrative penalties. Despite the success achieved by the

Abstract:

Ionising radiation potentially produces a broad spectrum of damage in DNA including single and double strand breaks (ssb and dsb) and base damages. It has been hypothesised that sites of complex damage within cellular DNA have particular biological significance due to an associated decreased efficiency in repair. The aim of this study is to gain further understanding of the formation of complex DNA damage. Irradiations of plasmid DNA illustrate that an increase in ionising density of the radiation results in a decrease in ssb yields/Gy but an increase in dsb per ssb, indicative of an increase

Abstract:

This paper describes and applies a method to quantify and related damage of painted wooden pulpits in 16 churches in Gotland, Sweden, to both the current and the historical indoor climate of the twentieth century. In addition, it demonstrates that the energy used to heat a church in the past can be measured and the study alsopoints towards a relationship between damage and heat output. The results suggest that more damage is present in churches with a higher heat output and there is increased damage in churches using background heating compared to churches that do not. However, the method need

This research is concerned with quantifying damage in asphalt mixtures at the micro level. X ray Computer Tomography (CT) a non destructive technique along with image analysis has been used to study the internal microstructural properties of asphalt. During laboratory testing of asphalt mixtures, it has been observed that specimens lose strength without any visible cracks. UK asphalt mixtures have been tested in uniaxial compression and tension compression fatigue tests and scanned in X ray CT. In the uniaxial compression test, specimens have been tested at three different strain rates. Both m

Ongoing developments in improving ship safety indicate the gradual transition from a compliance-based culture to a sustainable safety-oriented culture.

In this respect, first-principles tools represent a rational and cost-effective approach to address it at both design and operational stages. Acknowledging the criticality of ship survivabi

The operation of our society depends heavily on infrastructure systems. To prevent failures and to reduce costs of maintenance, structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been implemented on an increasing number of infrastructure systems. SHM systems have the potential to give reliable prediction of structural deterioration with less human safety risk and labor costs, and without interruption of normal operations. In the field of SHM, many techniques have been proposed in recent decades. Among these techniques, ultrasonic testing has been widely used for damage characterization in structu

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>營建工程系<br>104<br>This study conduct three full-size experimental simulation of cantilever column member specimen with different failure mechanisms using general reinforced steel bars(fy=420MPa, fyt=280MPa), and the designed compressive strength of concrete is 21MPa. The purpose of this study is utilized Takeda hysteresis model compared with experimental results, moreover, Takeda hysteresis model of strength-displacement envelop will be divided into two portions, one is relationship between crack width and strength, and the other is relationship between crack width and unloadin

Abstract:

North American civil infrastructures are aging. According to recent (2016) Canadian infrastructure report card, 33% of the Canadian municipal infrastructures are either in fair or below fair condition. The current deficit of replacing fair and poor municipal bridges (covers 26% of bridges) is 13 billion dollars. According to the latest report (2017) by American Society of Civil Engineers, the entire American infrastructure have been given a D+ condition rating. This includes some of the structural elements of infrastructures that pose a significant risk and there is an urgent need for frequent

Abstract:

The problem of vibration induced structural faults has been a real one in engineering over the years. If left unchecked it has led to the unexpected failures of so many structures. Needless to say, this has caused both economic and human life losses. Therefore for over forty years, structural damage identification has been one of the important research areas for engineers. There has been a thrust to develop global structural damage identification techniques to complement and/or supplement the long-practised local experimental techniques. In that respect, studies have shown that vibration-based

Abstract:

The past 30 years have witnessed major developments in vibration based damage detection and identification, also collectively referred to as damage diagnosis. Moreover, the past 10 years have seen a rapid increase in the amount of research related to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) as quantified by the significant escalation in papers published on this subject. Thus, the increased interest in this engineering field and its associated potential constitute the main motive for this thesis. The goal of the thesis is the development and introduction of novel advanced functional and sequentia

Abstract:

This study examines the quantification of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, awarded by means of judicial decisions based on equity, and seeks to verify whether such calculation safeguards legal certainty and predictability when applying the law, as well as whether it observes the principles of proportionality and equality. Firstly, the limits for discretionary judgment permitted to the judge were determined, by evaluating the criteria established under the law. Then, by examining the grounds of the judicial decisions in cases that had been selected beforehand, this study sought to
