A Proper Orthogonal Decomposition-based inverse material parameter optimization method with applications to cardiac mechanics by Moodley, Kamlin

“…The calibration results are then compared against the full-order solution which is obtained using an in-house code based on the element-free Galerkin method, which is assumed to be the exact solution. …”

Elastic Mesh Deformation for Internal Flows with Moving Boundaries by Mohammed, Ali Alaa Abdelkareem Awad

“…As such a tank with a flexible internal beam serves as the tested case employed in this work. As such a computer code was developed and the elastic deformation was implemented via the Finite Element Galerkin method with two methods to control the element's distortion near the moving boundaries, Jacobian-based stiffening modification and the distance criterion method. …”

The development of the doctrine of common purpose subsequent to the judgement in S v Safatsa 1988 1 SA 868 (A): with specific reference to the general principles of criminal liabil... by Combrinck, H

“…The doctrine of common purpose, which hails from English law, was introduced into South African law via the Native Territories Penal Code. The first South African criminal case in which this doctrine was applied outside the field of application of the abovementioned act, was Ry Garnsworthy, where it was formulated as follows: Where two or more persons combine in an undertaking for an illegal purpose, each one of them is liable for anything done by the other of others of the combination, in the furtherance 'of their object, if what was done was what they knew or ought to have known, would be a probable result of their endeavoring to achieve their object.5 According to Visser and Vorster,6 this doctrine was probably imported into our law due to difficulties experienced in 1 D XLVIII.8.17: 'If a man dies after having been struck in the course of a quarrel, the blows of every one who took part in this should be investigated' - own translation. 2. …”
