Capital Punishment without Capital Trials in Japan’s Lay Judge System by David T. Johnson

“…This change injected a meaningful dose of lay participation into Japanese criminal trials for the first time since 1943, when Japan's original Jury Law was suspended during the Pacific War. In May 2010, newspapers reported that the new system "has had a smooth first year," though they also stressed that it "has yet to be really tested by cases involving complex chains of evidence or demands by prosecutors for the death sentence."…”

Research on Fatigue Model of Semi-Rigid Base Asphalt Pavement before and after Polymer Grouting by Bei Zhang, Xu Zhang, Yanhui Zhong, Xiaolong Li, Meimei Hao, Xianwei Sang, Xiaoliang Wang, Jianyang Liu

“…Moreover, it compares and analyzes the mechanical response and fatigue damage of this pavement before and after polymer repair. The evolution law is verified by indoor fatigue tests. The results show that, under a standard load of 0.7 MPa, the vertical displacement and the Mises stress of the vacant position after the polymer repair are reduced by 61% and 69%, respectively. …”
