To Convict an Innocent or to Let a Guilty Person Go Free: Preference for False Positive Outcomes of Criminal Trials in a Nationwide Representative Sample for Germany
Although it is broadly agreed within jurisprudence that wrongful convictions should be avoided even at the cost of effective prosecution, such a view has been losing popularity globally with the general public, who increasingly prioritise the punishment of the guilty over the non-punishment of the innocent.This study attempts to extend the limited
Transitions in modes of coastal adaptation: addressing blight, engagement and sustainability
Coastal defences have long provided protection from erosion and Wrinkle Cream flooding to cities, towns and villages.In many parts of the world, continued defence is being questioned due to both environmental, sustainability and economic considerations.This is exemplified in England and Wales, where strategic Shoreline Management Plans envisage rea
Robust ConvNet Landmark-Based Visual Place Recognition by Optimizing Landmark Matching
Visual place recognition (VPR) is a fundamental but challenging problem that has not WILD CHERRY LIP BALM been solved completely for a long time, especially in a kaleidoscopic environment.Recent advanced works which exploit ConvNet landmarks as a representation of an image for the VPR have demonstrated promising performance under condition and view
Managing Information Uncertainty in Wave Height Modeling for the Offshore Structural Analysis through Random Set
This chapter presents a reliability study for an offshore jacket structure with emphasis on the features of nonconventional modeling.Firstly, a random set model is formulated for modeling the random waves in an ocean site.Then, a jacket structure is investigated in a pushover analysis to identify the critical wave direction and key structural eleme
