There are two broad types of roof as far as support is concerned, the immediate roof above the coal and the main roof. Artificial support for mining purposes is only concerned with the immediate roof as nothing except large blocks of solid coal, or massive concrete, will support the main roof.... Main roof is composed of strata above the immediate coal bed roof that forms the overburden to the surface. Frequently, the term is applied only to a massive, strong rock layer that does not break or bend until all of the coal is removed by pillaring or by longwall mining.

  • Tort Law (common law)
DEF

A concept in tort law that states that if a defendant intends harm to A but harms B instead, the intent is said to be transferred to the harm befalling the actual victim, as far as the defendant's liability to be in tort is concerned. This is only a "fiction", or a legal conclusion, created in order to accomplish the desired result in terms of liability.

OBS

... Not only can intention be transferred from one person to another, it can also be shifted from one intentional tort to another. For example, if one person intends to batter another, but misses and merely frightens him, there is sufficient intention present to constitute an assault, even though a battery and not an assault was desired.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
OBS

L'intention peut non seulement être transposée d'une personne à une autre, mais elle peut aussi l'être d'un délit intentionnel à un autre. Par exemple, si une personne a l'intention de frapper une autre personne, qu'elle rate sa cible et ne réussit qu'à effrayer sa victime, son intention suffit à fonder des voies de fait, malgré qu'elle portait sur un acte de violence.

In any chemical or other scientific experiment, the reference base with which the results are compared. This base is invariably a sample of identical constitution and prepared under the same conditions, from which all experimental variations are omitted.

Terms, charcoal plate and coke plate, which in last century described quality of iron used as a base metal have now come to be applied to tin plate of certain coating thickness. Amount of coating on coke plates is generally between 1.24 and 2.5 pounds per base box - on charcoal plates between 3 pounds and 5 pounds per base box.

CONT

Tin Plate.... When coated by the hot-dip process, the tin plate was termed coke tin plate or charcoal tin plate. When coated by the electrolytic process, it is termed electrolytic tin plate.... Hot-Dipped Tin Plate. Tin plate formerly was produced by the hot-dip tinning of thin plates that had been hammered or rolled from bars of puddled iron. The pig iron used in pudding might have been made in blast furnaces using charcoal or coke as fuel. Plates made from "charcoal iron" were considered a more ductile and higher grade product; hence, tin plate made by coating charcoal-iron plates with tin(charcoal tin plate) was regarded as a product of higher quality than tin plate with a coke-iron base(coke tin plate). At present, the designation "charcoal tin plate" merely indicates plate with a relatively heavy tin coating as compared with "coke tin plate" as described below, and has no significance so far as quality of the steel base is concerned.

OBS

Various grades of hot-dipped tin plate were produced, the terminology indicating in a general way the weight of tin coating or, more exactly, the amount of tin used to produce the given unit or base box of plate. Coke tin plate has always designated the plate produced with the lowest amount of tin and formerly was called Cokes or Common Cokes. In ascending weight of coating, the various grades were Common Cokes, Standard Cokes, Best Cokes, and Kanners Special. Charcoal tin plate carries still heavier coatings including 1A and 2A.

The Federal Reserve Banks also make loans to the member banks. These we call "discounts".... Unfortunately, the Fed is not free to pursue a discount policy exactly the way it wants to... as far as discount policy is concerned, the Fed must play the passive role. It can sit and wait. It can veto. It can make its rate attractive. But it certainly cannot set its amount of discounts at precisely the figure it wants.

CONT

The formulations for web offset heatset inks are similar to letterpress heatset inks so far as choice of pigments is concerned. The vehicle system is also similar except that the varnishes must have the ability to lithograph, that is, they have to withstand the water that is applied from the dampening system and continue to print correctly. Pigments must not bleed in water as some of the letterpress pigments, like phloxine red, have a tendency to do.

J. A. Fodor has forcefully argued that a good deal of work in cognition(psychology, AI, linguistics, philosophy of mind) implies or presupposes the existence of a "language of thought" or mentalese. According to him, mental computations, as required for example by language-acquisition, would be carried out in that "private code". Furthermore, the language of thought, though different from any natural language, would share various features with natural languages-particularly as far as its expressive power is concerned.
