Abstract The subject of the survey carried out in 2013-2014 are changes in Gliwice residential substance in relation to the two fundamental issues:how proceeded transformation of the existing housing stock, which changes has it undergone during operation. The range of changes within the housing illustrates all the positive and negative solutions characteristic for each of the periods. In the selection of research technique decision was made to form the survey. The quantitative data collected during the survey are the basis for building applications and also from grouped and developed characteristics for the surveyed collections. The test results help to identify regularities concerning the scope of the changes made in each period and - indirectly - give evidence to evaluate the built environment in terms of meeting the expectations and needs of the residents. Analysis of the assumptions also draws attention to the life cycles of the apartment, as the original part undergoing transformation during the adaptation, modernization and reconstruction of housing environment to changing needs during operational requirements. The scope of the changes introduced by them within the housing allows to evaluate the accuracy of functional and spatial, technical and technological solutions characteristic of the period in which they developed.

Over the past two days of this symposium I have been impressed by the interest and enthusiasm shown for the subject of the nitrogen cycle. The programme has been diverse, with agriculturalists, environmentalists, those interested in forestry, aquatic environments, plant physiology and medicine all contributing. Dr Lake has rounded off the general discussion admirably: he has emphasized that there are many questions still to be answered and various speakers and contributors have pointedly emphasized that while we know much about the various reactions of the nitrogen cycle, at least in gross terms, good solid quantitative data on various processes are scarce. Even for N 2 fixation about which, as Professor Postgate rightly said, more is probably known than about any other process of the nitrogen cycle, there is still uncertainty about how much N is fixed in the oceans of the world, despite the fact that these cover the bulk of the Earth’s surface. Professor Fogg has mentioned the difficulties of obtaining such data in so vast an area. But it is not only in the sea that there are problems. As yet we have few good quantitative data on losses by denitrification: how much is lost as N 2 and how much as N 2 O. The studies of Dr Dowdell and his colleagues are an important step in the right direction. Detailed quantitative studies are required on the various processes of the nitrogen cycle. That is where progress will have to be made in the future. I believe that too much time has been spent in the past on mass balance studies and not enough time on getting accurate measurements of the various processes by experimentation.

A technique is described by which, the quantitative connection between physical aspects of a stimulus situation and subjective aspects of the perceptual response may be conveniently and reliably determined. The subject is given control of one of the significant physical variables such, for instance, as brightness, and is asked to set this variable to correspond In turn with a limited number of defined criteria relating to a subjective variable such as glare-discomfort It is found that each criterion acts as a check upon judgments made in terms of the others, so that the scatter of the control settings Is less than when a single criterion is used The functional relationship between the physical and the subjective variable can be estimated, and provided care Is taken in the design of the experiment and In the selection of observers, consistent results are obtained. This technique has been applied during the past ten years to a wide range of visual problems which Include those of the visibility of radar echoes, the visibility of street-lighting from the air, discomfort-glare and ease of reading. It Is thought that It might find wide application not only in applied Psychological work but in the investigation of problems of theoretical import.

Village funds are a form of the Republic of Indonesia's government program which launched the concept of Building Indonesia from Pingiran. This program is closely related to the empowerment of rural communities to improve community welfare. The budget, which has been launched in the amount of billions of rupiah for rural communities, is expected to bring changes in their daily lives. Community involvement in this program is intended so that the community is no longer the object of development but becomes the subject of development. On the other hand, village funds also have a negative effect, namely misuse of these funds by village officials. To explore the reality of this village fund, data on the use of funds has been used since its inception until now. To reveal this phenomenon, a study is needed to reveal the usage. This research was conducted in Gorontalo Regency which has 18 Districts, 191 Villages, which quantitatively has the largest number of villages in Gorontalo Province. Another thing about the selection of Gorontalo District as a research location is based on the consideration of having a coastal village and an agricultural village. The existence of these two villages is interesting to conduct research on village funds. In this study using qualitative methods with data collection stages, namely: initial observation, interviews and documents. The data analysis used was Huberman and Miles. The choice of the analysis method is based on the consideration of uncovering a phenomenon and nomena, which requires the researcher to directly associate and live with the community to be studied.Efforts made in the use of village funds are oriented towards long-term needs

The Casebook series provides a comprehensive selection of case law that addresses all aspects of the subject encountered on undergraduate courses. This chapter examines further vitiating factors which relate to the way in which the contract was entered into and render it voidable. It discusses the doctrines of duress and undue influence and whether contracts are affected by a general doctrine of unconscionability relating to the manner of formation and content relative to the nature and position of the contracting parties. The doctrine of economic duress allows for any contract to be set aside where unlawful threats to financial position were made in order to secure agreement. This doctrine is still evolving but represents a mechanism to prevent the enforceability of promises not freely given. Under the doctrine of undue influence, a contract may be set aside if one party has put unfair and improper pressure on the other in the negotiations leading up to the contract. The courts of equity have developed undue influence as one of the grounds of relief to prevent abuse of the influence of one person over another, particularly where the influence results from the nature of the relationship between the parties. The chapter examines types of undue influence, actual undue influence, presumed (or evidential) undue influence, undue influence exercised by a third party, the legal effect of undue influence, and the relationship between undue influence and unconscionability.

Parasite enzymes involved in proteolysis and amino acid metabolism have attracted considerable attention over the last decade. Nevertheless, current knowledge is extensive for just a few parasites and several enzymes. Most enzymes remain largely unexplored. This review concentrates upon a selection of the better studied enzymes and the potentially valuable approaches now being adopted in their study. We present a personal view on the most suitable strategies for exploiting this area of parasite biochemistry with novel antiparasite drugs. The content of the review reflects our own work and interests, but we have aimed to include a sufficiently broad range of topics so that this overview serves as a useful introduction for those new to the subject.There have been several reviews that provide good coverage of the appropriate literature (Barrett, 1991; McKerrow et al. 1993; North & Lockwood, 1995; Sakanari et al. 1995; Robertson et al. 1996; Vial, 1996; Coombs & Mottram, 1997; Walker & Barrett, 1997), therefore we detail here just some of the publications and refer readers to the reviews quoted for further information. This treatise mainly highlights progress made in studies with parasitic protozoa. Parasitic worms present more difficult problems for drug designers and there has been only limited progress to date in this area of biochemistry; we include here mention of just some of the more exciting advances so far.

Abstract The subject of rubber testing and its standardization has received so much attention in recent years, that some apology might seem necessary for discussing it further. A few years ago the present writer had occasion to call attention to several respects in which existing test methods showed unnecessary lack of uniformity (Trans. Inst. Rubber Ind., 5, 139 (1929)), and it must be admitted that this lack of uniformity still persists to a great extent, with a corresponding loss in the value of published test results. It is the object of the present note to call attention more particularly to some unsatisfactory features in the selection of the “best” or “optimum” cure of a mix for purposes of comparison with other mixes. It is scarcely necessary to emphasize the fact that in comparing the properties of different mixings, as in examining the effects of fillers, accelerators, antioxidants, softeners, etc., all the mixings must be vulcanized to comparable states of cure. Nevertheless, an examination of published data shows that often insufficient attention is paid to ensuring strict comparability. For instance, it is not uncommon to find the effect of fillers examined by taking an accelerated base stock, adding the fillers to it, and vulcanizing all the resulting mixings for the same time, it being assumed that the fillers do not affect rate of cure. This assumption is not justifiable, even in the case of seemingly inert materials. An obvious case is that of gas black, which, though chemically inert, retards vulcanization in presence of organic accelerators. Moreover, such “inert” materials as barytes, blanc fixe, whiting, and strontium sulfate may markedly alter the rate of cure. Thus, in some experiments made by the writer, a base mix accelerated with dephenylguanidine (0.75% on the rubber) gave optimum mechanical properties after 90 minutes at 141° C., but mixings containing the fillers mentioned had optimum curing times ranging from 65 to 110 minutes. The writer has, indeed, come across a filler consisting of a very inert compound, which nevertheless completely puts out of action the most powerful organic accelerators. It is thus clearly unsafe to assume that any material will be inert as regards its effect on rate of vulcanization, whether in presence of an organic accelerator or not.

As the recent industrial situation is characterized by a growing global competition, decreasing product life cycles and increased levels of global outsourcing, among other challenges, the importance of supply chain integration between companies and its suppliers has become a critical factor for their survival in the international market. The way on how they arrange their supply networks to accomplish a flexible supply chain will define the future of modern enterprises. This article aims to explore Supply Chain Management in the Lithuanian metallurgical industry. More precisely, it will be focused on determining its supply chain and describing actual situation and relationships that affect it. Additionally, this paper looks to analyze the possible improvements that could be made in order to make it more efficient. In addition, to get an overview of the present supply chain in the metallurgical sector, a survey has been sent to a selection of metal-manufacturing companies inside Lithuania. The conducted survey-questionnaire represents the empirical research base for this study.
