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. 4, record 1, English, - post%2Dsentence%20conduct
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 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. 2, record 1, English, - post%2Dsentence%20conduct

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. 2, record 3, English, - criterion%20test

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. 3, record 4, English, - retention%20criterion
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 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") .... 2, record 4, English, - retention%20criterion

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 (...) 1, record 4, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20de%20r%C3%A9tention
