On The Road

This book consists of seven chapters on the subject of poetry and itinerancy within the religious traditions of India, Tibet, and Japan from ancient to modern times. The chapters look, each from a different angle, at how itinerancy is reflected in religious poetry, what are the purposes of the wanderers’ poems or songs, and how the wandering poets relate to local communities, sacred geography, and institutionalized religion. We encounter priest-poets in search of munificent patrons, renouncers and yogins who sing about the bliss and hardship of wandering alone in the wilderness, Hindu pilgrims and opponents of pilgrimage, antinomian Buddhist-Tantric poets from Bengal, and the originator of the haiku. We are led along roads travelled by many, as well as paths tread by few.

The Hill

I derive the materials of the present paper from some memoranda which I find amongst my archaeological notes and which relate to certain explorations to which I was not a party, made so long ago as 1887. I have thought that the particulars then obtained may be deemed sufficiently interesting to deserve a record in the history of Trojan archaeological discovery.The subject is one of the four small tumuli dotted about and near the hill of Balli-Dagh, the crest of which according to the now exploded theory of Le Chevalier (1785) was supposed to represent the Pergamos of Troy. In a memoir contributed to the Journal of the Archaeological Institute of 1864, I proved that the site in question was no other than that of the ancient city of Gergis. In the same paper I gave an account of the results of the excavation of one of the group of three tumuli on Balli-Dagh, the so-named Tomb of Priam. The other two, namely Le Chevalier's Tomb of Hector, and an unnamed hillock, were excavated respectively by Sir John Lubbock (about 1878) and Dr. Schliemann (1882) without result. The present relates to the fourth mound on the road between the villages of Bournarbashi and Arablar (as shown in the published maps), which goes by the name of Choban Tepeh (Shepherd's hillock) and the Tomb of Paris, according to Rancklin (1799).

On The Road

The development of operating speed models has been the subject of numerous research studies in the past. Most of them present models that aim to predict free-flow speed in conjunction with the road geometry at the curved road sections considering various geometric parameters e.g., radius, length, preceding tangent, deflection angle. The developed models seldomly take into account the operating speed profiles of motorcycle riders and hence no significant efforts have been put so far to associate the geometric characteristics of a road segment with the speed behavior of motorcycle riders. The dominance of 4-wheel vehicles on the road network led the researchers to focus explicitly on the development of speed prediction models for passenger cars, vans, pickups, and trucks. However, although the motorcycle fleet represents only a small proportion of the total traffic volume motorcycle riders are over-represented in traffic accidents especially those that occur on horizontal curves. Since operating speed has been thoroughly documented as the most significant precipitating factor of vehicular accidents, the study of motorcycle rider's speed behavior approaching horizontal curves is of paramount importance. The subject of the present paper is the development of speed prediction models for motorcycle riders traveling on two-lane rural roads. The model was the result of the execution of field measurements under naturalistic conditions with the use of an instrumented motorcycle conducted by experienced motorcycle riders under different lighting conditions. The implemented methodology to determine the most efficient model evaluates a series of road geometry parameters through a comprehensive literature review excluding those with an insignificant impact to the magnitude of the operating speeds in order to establish simple and handy models.

The Cost

The costs of construction and the future maintenance of expressways and motorways have a significant impact on the choice of technologies for their construction. The subject of the article is the analysis of the costs of construction and maintenance of rigid (concrete) and flexible (asphalt mixtures) pavements in Poland. The construction technologies and maintenance scenarios in service were analysed for selected pavement constructions of rigid and flexible motorways and expressways. The costs of construction and maintenance of these pavements in national conditions were determined. The fourth quarter of 2015 was adopted as the initial price level. On the basis of the analysis of the costs of construction and maintenance of the analysed structures, the advantage of rigid constructions made of cement concrete was demonstrated, especially in the aspect of the surface maintenance. The cost assessment was carried out for 30 years of exploitation. The concrete pavements on the road network in Poland have been used for over 20 years. They are present both on low-class roads and on the highest-class roads, i.e. motorways and expressways.

With little else than the trouble of surveying one of the finest of Edinburgh landscapes, the tourist beginning work amongst the débris just to the south of where Samson's ribs overhang the road, and continuing on the road along Salisbury Crags to Holyrood Palace, will meet with a continuous display of the relations specially of zeolitic minerals, and their containing rocks. If he care to pursue the literature of the subject, Daubrée's investigations on the genesis of zeolites, as well as Allport's, Bonney's, and Geikie's petrological researches into the microscopy of the rocks in question, will suggest oven more lengthened studies.

The paper opens by describing the background of automobile rig testing, with the word “rig” defined as “a contrivance or makeshift with the means at one's disposal”. A range of equipment is desirable so that rigs can, after use on one particular test, be reassembled to form some other device, after the fashion of a constructional toy. It is made clear that no indoor test can replace the testing of vehicles on the road, or tractors on the farm, but useful and quickly obtained results can be acquired with certain problems. Such work can be useful supplementary aid to a development programme. As the essence of the subject is variety and speed, it is felt necessary to give several illustrations to emphasize the simplicity and ingenuity required in rig construction and design. The use of photographs in lieu of engineering drawings as an aid to later reconstruction is mentioned. Test rigs illustrated include those for fatigue failure in suspension, frame, body, and transmission; impact failures; body and chassis weaving; tractor and car transmissions; valve port flow; roller bearing wear; and vehicle air resistance measurements. Sufficient technical data are given to show the scope and results of the tests.

Since modern times, China has been forced into the huge wave of world industrialization. Yang Yuelin, a famous textile engineering expert and educator, is one of the countless people with lofty ideals who want to serve the country and embark on the road of "saving the country through industry". Yang Yuelin wrote a book "theoretical and practical sizing theory" after he learned the sizing technology of China and the West. The sizing principles summarized in the book constitute the theoretical basis of "sizing working method" of Qingdao Textile administration, which has a great driving role for sizing work in China. In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, Yang Yuelin also actively responded to the call of the state and actively participated in the summary and promotion of the "Hao Jianxiu spinning method", which greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the textile workers and their enthusiasm for production.

The purpose of this study was to find out what criminal cases were carried out by punk children, then what factors behind them committed the crime, and why they could enter the punk community. Punk kids are always associated with a negative action, look weird, steal, children are slang, immoral, and other negative things. Sometimes punk children choose to live on the road not only a factor in the conditions of economic difficulties, but also because they enjoy environmental conditions on the road, they feel their families do not care, and lack of education. Research methods The research method used in conducting research on the criminal acts of punk children community is to use qualitative research methods with a sociological juridical approach. Qualitative research methods according to Lexy J Moleong are research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is understood by the subject of research, such as behavior, perceptions, motivations, actions, etc., holistically and in description in the form of words and language in a natural context. Data collection uses quantitative methods. The results of the study concluded that criminal acts or crimes by punk children were carried out due to economic, family, environmental factors, and lack of education.
