CRITERION BEHAVIOUR [4 records]

Record 1 2009-08-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Penal Administration
  • Sentencing
CONT

Where it has been established that the sentencing judge made an error in the exercise of his or her discretion, the court may receive fresh evidence of post sentence conduct to determine whether some other sentence is warranted in law.

CONT

Despite the fact that it is the post-sentencing behaviour we might look to confirm the offender's dangerousness, the criterion that is already set out stresses at all times the past behaviour and offences. It really does not permit much allowance for change or for rehabilitation while in the system.

Key term(s)
  • post-sentencing conduct
  • postsentencing behavior
  • post-sentence behaviour
  • postsentence behaviour
  • postsentence conduct
  • post-sentence behavior
  • postsentence behavior

French

Domaine(s)
  • Administration pénitentiaire
  • Peines
CONT

Même si c'est le comportement postsentenciel du délinquant qui devrait servir à confirmer sa dangerosité, le critère déjà établi met l'accent sur l'infraction et le comportement passé.

Key term(s)
  • conduite postsentencielle
  • conduite post-sentencielle

Record 2 1999-04-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Education (General)
DEF

The actual behaviour registered by the student at the end of the training program. The difference between this and the criterion behaviour is a measure of the effectiveness of the training program.

Key term(s)
  • terminal behavior

French

Domaine(s)
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
  • Pédagogie (Généralités)
DEF

Comportement de l'élève à la fin du programme de formation. La différence entre ce comportement et le comportement recherché constitue une mesure de l'efficacité du programme de formation.

Record 3 1999-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
  • Training of Personnel
DEF

A test, in written or practical form, designed to measure terminal behaviour and thereby discover to what degree the student/trainee demonstrates the criterion behaviour. It can also be given as a pre-test to identify individuals who need the training, and/or a post-test to measure the effectiveness of the program by comparing the pre-test and post-test scores.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Docimologie
  • Perfectionnement et formation du personnel
DEF

Épreuve écrite ou pratique destinée à évaluer le comportement final et, ainsi, à découvrir dans quelle mesure l'élève ou le stagiaire se conforme au comportement recherché. Elle peut également servir d'épreuve préliminaire pour déceler ceux qui ont besoin de formation et/ou d'épreuve terminale pour évaluer l'efficacité du programme par comparaison des notes des deux épreuves.

Record 4 1990-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tolerances and Modular Co-ordination (Construction)
  • Civil Engineering
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Retention criterion.... Criteria for granular filters can be found in many text book on soil mechanics.... In these criteria, which have been drawn up on the basis of laboratory tests, a defined grain size is often compared with a pore diameter of the filter. The behaviour of soil material, especially in the case of cohesive soils, is a far too complicated phenomenon to be predicted only from the grain-size distribution. Because of this there is little to be gained by enumerating a large number of sometimes contradictory criteria for both granular and synthetic filter materials.

CONT

Since there are three mechanisms through which a geotextile performs the filtration function, there should be three criteria for the relevant geotextile properties: 1. Criterion for minimum permeability ("permeability criterion") ... 2. Criterion for maximum opening size ("retention criterion") ... 3. Criterion for minimum percent open area (wovens) or minimum porosity (nonwovens) ("nonclogging criterion") ....

OBS

Criterion: plural: criteria, criterions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Calcul, tolérances et modulation (Construction)
  • Génie civil
  • Mécanique des sols
CONT

Dans sa proposition de dimensionnement d'un filtre géotextile de rétention d'un sol meuble, J.P. Giroud exprime la compacité du sol par sa densité relative Dr (...), déterminée par essais de laboratoire, en distinguant entre un sol lâche, moyennement compact et compact. A défaut d'essais de laboratoire, on peut faire in situ une estimation de la compacité du sol à l'aide de tests simples (...) La stabilité de la structure d'un sol dépend, davantage encore que de Dr, du coefficient d'uniformité Cu. Les critères de rétention d'un sol meuble sont définis dans le tableau 57 où le seul paramètre conduisant au choix du géotextile est le diamètre de filtration (...)
