Faced with an unfunded mandate, school and district leaders can respond in several ways. The first, ignoring the mandate, may actually work quite well in some cases. Some mandates turn out to be downright silly and, as long as the consequences are mild, ignoring them is an effective strategy. Most, however, cannot be ignored. Ignoring them results in severe sanctions, including loss of funds an...

The ability to attend to relevant events and to ignore irrelevant stimuli is crucial to survival. Theories disagree on whether this ability is dependent solely on increased neural activation for relevant items or whether active ignoring can also play a role. The authors examined the active ignoring of stimuli using a preview search procedure, where irrelevant faces appeared prior to relevant ho...

public order, as a principle in the framework of national laws, is a tool for protecting private and public interests in a society. observance of the norms and public order in any jurisdiction is important as far as the the influence of this chariness on contracts in the field of private international laws is undeniable. with the formation of new rights such as intellectual property rights in t...

Owing to resource constraints, the existing prioritization and selection techniques for software security requirements (countermeasures) find a subset of higher-priority security requirements ignoring lowerpriority requirements or postponing them to the future releases. Ignoring or postponing security requirements however, may on one hand leave some of the security threats (vulnerabilities) una...

Ju ly 20 0 8 je a n -f ra n co is P o d ev in on the very smallest scales—the voids in between the smallest known elementary particles—by quantum laws and possibly explain it in terms of some fundamental constituents. Superstring theory is often described as the leading candidate to fill this role, but it has not yet provided an answer to any of these pressing questions. Instead, following its ...

Abstract Porous gas bearings (PGBs) have a proactive application in aerospace and turbomachinery. This study investigates the lubrication performance of PGB with condition velocity slip boundary (VSB) owing to high Knudsen number film. The Darcy-Forchheimer laws modified Navier-Stokes equations were adopted describe flow porous layer film region, respectively. An improved bearing experimental p...
