Economic and environmental concerns will slow down the expansion of the transmission system in many countries. The addition of new transmission lines will be few and far between. The de-regulation of the power supply will introduce new power flow patterns on the bulk transmission systems. The net result is that the power systems will operate much closer to their transfer limits and operate there m

Restyling Factual TV is about understanding genres in relation to each other and in relation to popular audiences. It takes as a starting point the idea that factual television is being restyled, that various kinds of news, current affairs, documentary and popular factual genres are part of a turbulent time in broadcasting. The boundaries between fact and fiction have been pushed to the limits in

In Australia a national public/private telematics framework has been established, which is administered by Transport Certification Australia (TCA). The first application was the Intelligent Access Program (IAP), which has enabled several road transport reforms by managing infrastructure risks associated with the operation of extra heavy vehicle configurations. The paper uses the IAP to demonstrate

This chapter deals with Italian Barnabites and German Jesuits working as missionaries in the Nordic countries and the ideals of clerical masculinity that they represented. The Barnabites were important in the initial phase of the Catholic missionary activity in the 1860s and 1870s, whereas the Jesuits, ostensibly the most fervent defenders of ultramontane confessionalism, held a dominant position

A longitudinal study was initiated in a PVC production plant in 1967. It was repeated in 1987. A cohort of 101 workers was followed. The aim of the 1967 study was, after a heavy rise in absenteeism and sick leave, to analyze perceptions of work environment and health. The aim of the second study was to investigate possible health effects of the workers after the change of threshold limit value, TL

This paper presents a methodology with the purpose of modeling and simulating outdoor temperature and relative humidity (vapor concentration) related to moisture exposure on timber structures. The methodology is based on time-series analysis with recorded meteorological data used as input. In situations where recorded data is missing or consists of limited sequences, this methodology offers the po

BACKGROUND: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the two major susceptibility genes involved in hereditary breast cancer. This study was undertaken to provide reliable population-based estimates of genetic influence and to characterize the nature and prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations in early-onset breast cancer.METHODS: In a series comprising all women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of

Creep and shrinkage are two major problems to be discussed in concrete design. Basic creep is studied during constant loading, temperature and moisture conditions, i.e. no exchange of moisture takes place to or from the specimen during the test period. In this paper an experimental and numerical study of basic creep of High Performance Concrete (HPC) is outlined. For this purpose cylinders and cub
