Stranded motorists drank beer while they waited for assistance when trouble occurred at rough grids, Western Queensland [1960-1964] [picture] /

Smith.; Title supplied by artist, see acquisition file number NLA/9823.; Photographer's stamp on verso.; "There are very few road signs out west and any encountered are there for a very definite reason. Some motorists didn't see or heed this sign in time judging by the concentration of beer bottles and cans and wrecked tyres nearby. Even straight stretches of the main road out west have about 100 beer bottles or cans to the mile along their edges! 'It's powerful thirsty country', one Aussie remarked, when I commented on this. Most reflectors, like those on this notice, show signs of having been used for rifle practice."--Accompanying notes.; Exhibited: "In a New Light 2", National Library of Australia, 2 December 2004 - 28 March 2005.

Paula Beer-Hofmann died in Switzerland in 1939.The Austrian painter Hans Schlesinger (1875-1932) was the brother-in-law of the poet and author Hugo von Hofmannsthal.Digital imag
Sex, Teen Pregnancies, STDs, and Beer Prices: Empirical Evidence from Canada
No full textWe evaluate the effects of higher beer prices on gonorrhea, chlamydia, and teen pregnancy rates by pooling data across Canadian provinces over time. Higher real beer prices are significantly correlated with a reduction in both gonorrhea and chlamydia rates with price elasticities ranging from -0.6 to -1.4. In contrast, an increase in the minimum legal drinking age is significantly associated with a reduction in teen pregnancies as well as births. Finally, Instrumental Variables (IV) estimates from the 1996 National Population Health Surveys (NPHS) validate that increased alcohol consumption is correlated with risky sexual practices, and ultimately with an increased likelihood of being infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

The metric tun : standardisation, quantification and industrialisation in the British brewing industry, 1760-1830
No full textThis thesis considers the British beer-brewing industry around 1800 as a case study exploring current themes in the history of science and technology: the imposition of
reliable standards, the use of instruments and quantities, and the nature of industrial growth. I begin by addressing Michael Combrune, author of the first thermometric
brewing account, showing the influence of Boerhaavian fermentation theory and the eighteenth-century agenda for "commercial chemistry" on his work: Combrune's
fellow brewers, however, did not generally rely on the chemical scheme of management he had established, developing instead highly localised thermometric
operations which did not challenge established understandings. Next, I consider the determination of beer strength, focusing here on the brewer John Richardson's
innovation of the saccharometer, a gravimetric philosophical instrument. I show how Richardson presented both the device and the quantity in which it was scaled, later termed the `brewer's pound, ' as offering brewery-specific advantages, in order to ensure its acceptance whilst at the same time denying its roots in the disputatious field of spirits hydrometry. Richardson did not achieve his wider goal of monopolist control over the device, but his project of saccharometric determination was widely taken up, contributing to a significant change in the composition of beer, as brewers moved from using traditional brown- malts to the saccharometrically preferable pales. This development is then reviewed in the context of an analysis of the identity of London porter, the staple brown beer of London: I investigate the relationship of porter's identity to the uniquely vast and industrialised plants which produced it. Finally, I highlight the ambiguous nature of appeals to `science' or `chemistry' before 1830 by discussing the widespread contemporary panic over adulteration, popularly assumed to
be practised by those who associated with chemists and did not pursue a `traditional' approach to brewing. This controversy was settled, I contend, only with the later
development of a common laboratory-analytical context between brewers, pharmacists and public analysts who were able to redefine the concept of adulteration itself
The Craft Beer Game and the Value of Information Sharing
No full textThe craft beer supply chain in the USA differs from the supply chain of macro breweries in its structure, handled volumes and product shelf-life. In this work, we study how these smaller craft breweries can benefit from transparency in their supply chain. We consider additional information sharing of orders and inventories at downstream nodes. The levels that we investigate grant the brewery incremental access to distributor, wholesaler, and retailer data. We show how this knowledge can be incorporated effectively into the brewery’s production planning strategy. Extending the well-known beer game, we conduct a simulation study using real-world craft beer supply chain parameters and demand. We quantify the impact of information sharing on the craft brewery’s sales, spoilage, and beer quality. Our model is designed to directly support the brewery when evaluating the value of downstream information and negotiating data purchases with brokers. Through a computational analysis, we show that the brewery’s benefits increase almost linearly with every downstream node that it gets data from. Full transparency allows to halve the missed beer sales, and beer spoilage can even be reduced by 70% on average.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport Engineering and Logistic
Paula : [Portraits of Paula Beer-Hofmann].
No full textThe name "Paula" is written in gold on the hard cover of this album. The photographs depict Paula Beer-Hofmann as a teenager and in her twenties, dressed in various outfits, sometimes with her hair up, other times with her hair down, sometimes in hats, sometimes with her daughter Miriam. Profile portraits and forward-facing portraits are included. Inscriptions on the photographs note Paula's age and the location, where the photograph was taken, most commonly in Vienna. Some photographs were taken in Atelier d’Ora in Vienna, others by Perscheid in Berlin.The following photographs are included in this album: F 10015, F 10016, F 10017, F 10018, F 10019, F 10020, F 10021, F 10022, F 10023, F 10024, F 10024A, F 10025, F 10026, F 10027, F 10028, F 10029, F 10030, F 10031, F 10032, F 10033, F 10034, F 10035, F 10036, F 10037, F 10038, F 10039, F 10040, F 10041, F 10042Paula (Pauline) Lissy was born in Vienna, Austria in 1879.
