Traditionally, trialists are people whose careers are built on conducting clinical trials that provide the evidence base needed for the high-quality practice of medicine. Because trialists have expertise in the condition to be studied by a trial, in the science of designing and conducting trials, or both, they are able to frame the research questions, study the key variables, perform state-of-the-art outcome measurements pertinent to the study question, and determine how best to gather that information. 3, record 1, English, - clinical%20trialist

This same approach should be applied to the question of reading in since extension by way of reading in is closely akin to the practice of severance. The difference is the manner in which the extent of the inconsistency is defined. In the usual case of severance the inconsistency is defined as something improperly included in the statute which can be severed and struck down. In the case of reading in the inconsistency is defined as what the statute wrongly excludes rather than what it wrongly includes. Where the inconsistency is defined as what the statute excludes, the logical result of declaring inoperative that inconsistency may be to include the excluded group within the statutory scheme. This has the effect of extending the reach of the statute by way of reading in rather than reading down. 1, record 4, English, - reading%20in

The executor must not unreasonably delay in getting in the assets and settling the affairs of the estate and he will be personally liable for any loss occasioned by undue delay. There is no hard-and-fast rule as to what constitutes undue or unreasonable delay, but it is the practice to speak of the executor's or administrator's year and the Courts attach importance to the question whether the alleged failure to convert or realize assets which resulted in the loss to the estate occurred within or beyond a year.

The better view appears to be that the question(whether the effect of divorce on a will is governed by the law which determines whether the divorce will be recognized) should be regarded as one of testamentary law and in the absence of statutes should be governed by the law of the testator's domicile at the date of the divorce in the case of moveables and by the law of the "situs" in the case of immoveables.(Hull & Cullity, "Macdonell, Sheard and Hull on Probate Practice". 3rd ed., 1981, p. 301) 1, record 11, English, - testamentary%20law

Should architecture obey, deny or subvert the logic of "the plan"? This question has continued to haunt the theory, polemics and practice of architecture throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. It is a simmple question, yet one which can be considered at many levels and from many points of view, challenging the established professional boundaries of the architect, the role of the official urban planner and forcing an investigation of the scope of the lay consumers's of architecture to seize control of the forces which manipulate the design and construction of the buildings and cities around them. 1, record 20, English, - official%20urban%20planner

De par la composition de sa population, les circonstances de sa destruction, Saint-Dié est alors un cas difficile dont Jacques André le jeune urbaniste officiel rêve de faire un exemple. L'arrivée inattendue de Le Corbusier, appelé à la rescousse par son ami, l'industriel déodatien Jean-Jacques Duval, va bouleverser la donne. Alors qu'il suscite l'enthousiasme des tenants du Mouvement Moderne, le plan du maître fait l'effet d'une véritable bombe dans un microcosme déodatien déjà effarouché par les audaces de Jacques André. 2, record 20, French, - urbaniste%20officiel

The practice of a state is shown by its acts and attitudes in its international relations with other states. When it becomes clear that each state acts in the same way, or takes up the same attitude to the acts or omissions of other states, the practice is uniform. When there is a repetition of such uniform practice over a period of time, the practice is constant. State practice which is both uniform and constant creates a "usage". Custom requires a "general practice". No precise answer can be given to the question of how general the practice needs to be. So long as a group of states follow the practice, and accept it as law, there is a custom. All customs have begun in the same way, and become of increasingly universal application as more states align their practice to them. 2, record 21, English, - practice

The basic question to be addressed before making choices is how much or what level of mitigation should be undertaken? Current practice reflects three approaches in this regard : statutory mitigation(only those measures undertaken that are necessary to meet government statutes and regulations), accepted practice(all of the former plus measures undertaken in recognition of current professional standards for environmental planning and design), and negotiated mitigation(all of the former plus measures undertaken in response to community-specific problems and concerns). 1, record 22, English, - accepted%20practice

Resistance to Temperature. ASTM Recommended Practice D 794 describes high-temperature testing for plastics. Only the procedure for heat exposure is specified, the test method being governed by the potential end use. Heat is applied using an oven with controlled air flow and with substantial fresh air intake. Two types of tests are described : continuous heat and cyclic heat. In the former, heat is gradually increased until failure occurs. Failure is defined as a change in appearance, weight, dimension, or other property that alters the material to a degree that it is no longer serviceable for the purpose in question. The test may take minutes to weeks, depending on the rate of temperature increase. The cyclic heat test repeatedly applies heat of a constant value until failure. 1, record 23, English, - cyclic%20heat%20test

Transfer of goods at sea likewise forms part of the larger subject of enemy character, for the question here also is whether such a transfer divests these goods of their enemy character, and there was likewise no unanimous practice among the maritime States when the Naval Conference met in London in 1908-1909. British and American practice has always refused to recognise a sale after the outbreak of war of goods in transitu if the vessel was captured before the neutral buyer had actually taken possession of the goods. On the other hand, it seems that French practice used to recognise such a sale in transitu provided it could be proved to have been bona fide. 2, record 26, English, - transfer%20in%20transitu
