    Full text link
    Three specimens of Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1878) were recently found in Malta in UV light traps and represent the first record of this species for this country. Although S. quadricollis is native to the Mediterranean basin, it is not yet clear if these Maltese records are due to a natural population or to an interception. Distributional, nomenclatural and biological data on this species are summarized, and a new synonymy is established: Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1879) = Stephanopachys quadraticollis Kocher, 1956, syn. n.peer-reviewe

    T.K. Cureton's Tip: How the Kinesiology Department Founder and Professor at the University of Illinois Led Roger Bannister to Break the Four Minute Mile

    No full text
    This project investigates the events leading up to Roger Bannister???s record-breaking four minute mile in 1954. It focuses on the role of T.K. Cureton, founder of the kinesiology department and professor of physical education at the University of Illinois, who conducted research on training habits of athletic champions. On the basis of literature, internet, and archival research, the study finds that Cureton advised Bannister to train the whole body rather than sport specific areas during their meeting in London, which was the tip leading to Bannister???s record. The author further discusses the careers of these two men, the context of their meeting, and the myth of the impossible.unpublishedU of I OnlyRequested by Student

    Versatile London: Water resilient urban design in fast changing conditions

    No full text
    The main goal of this graduation project - based on the desire to create a resilient urban environment -is to prevent the city of London from flooding, retrench the pressure in existing areas and to reduce the need for the «super sewer». Moreover the phases of transformation from existing space to a new form, function, or facilities are investigated. In this case the aim is to illustrate how adaptable existing urban fabric can be. This adaptive urban fabric contributes to more attractive and vibrant street life, therefore the project makes the city not only resilient, but also an even more interesting place. The adaptive character of urban environment can be best compared with a water park - some elements are used to transport water, others are used to store water, but they work as one system.Design of the Urban FabricUrbanismArchitecture and The Built Environmen

    Nieuwe fusietoets scholen overbodig

    No full text
    In het basis- en voortgezet onderwijs zijn fusies aan de orde van de dag. Fusies die soms eindigen in megalomane grotestructuren. Om de fusiedrang te beteugelen, heeft het ministerie van OCW in 2011 een tamelijk bureaucratische fusietoetsingesteld. Die fusietoets wil de minister nu veranderen. Volgens Jos Blank en Thomas Niaounakis is die nieuwe toets een stap in de goede richting. Echter voor de grote risicovolle fusies is deze toets ineffectief en daardoor overbodig. Grote besturen opereren vaak al onder schaal nadelen. De minister kan beter heldere criteria opstellen om een duidelijke grens te trekken in plaats van de deur voor te grote structuren alsnog op een kier te zetten.Economics of Technology and Innovatio
