Assessing Economic Damages in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation: The State of Idaho
In this article, the authors present the standard methodology and the supporting legal framework for estimating economic damages in personal injury and wrongful death cases in Idaho. The paper is organized as follows. In Part II, the elements of damages and issues involved in estimating those damages in personal injury litigation are presented. A discussion of key cases and relevant jury instructions are included. Economic damage issues with respect to wrongful death actions are covered in Part III. Next, Idaho court rules and case law, with respect to expert testimony, are reviewed. Summary remarks are included in the final section. II. Personal Injury Actions
Frequency distributions of the mixing height over an urban area from SODAR data
The height of the mixing-layer (MLH) is an important parameter in the assessment of the dilution of primarily emitted or secondarily formed air pollutants in the atmospheric boundary-layer. A continuous measurement of MLH is possible only by remote sensing. Here, 17 months of SODAR data have been analysed automatically to derive the MLH over the city of Hannover in Northern Germany. In contrast to earlier studies the MLH has been determined from vertical profiles of the acoustic backscatter intensity and from the variance of the vertical velocity component. The results are presented in form of monthly frequency distributions and mean daily courses of MLH. These statistical evaluations of MLH show a clear annual course and interannual variability. The study shows the possibility to derive meaningful climatological information from long-term SODAR measurements for air quality issues.
