A remote global monitoring system is being operated on a 65 year old lift bridge in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin. The system uses both strain gages and clinometers to continuously monitor the "health" of the fracture critical components of the bridge. Ruggedized miniaturized data loggers are locally mounted on the structure...

Some five years ago, during the first year of my assistantship at the Music Academy in Katowice, I required students to analyse some of Penderecki's early, so-called "sonoristic" pieces. The outcome of that assignment proved unsatisfactory, however, because the students tended to describe Penderecki's pieces as chaotic assemblages of sound...
A qualitative evaluation of the Africa Demos forum from a small group of African scholars and one journalist writing on various topics related to Africa.
Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques have been used for a number of years to provide quality control of construction procedures for drilled shafts and driven concrete piles. In particular sonic echo and impulse response methods have been used extensively to check lengths and continuity of newly-installed foundations. In recent years, the...
Chinese television has gone through enormous growth and significant structural change since the economic reforms of the 1970s. The changes include an increased number of channels, the establishment of overseas channels, increased reliance on advertising, more diversified programming, and heightened market competition. The new multi-channel media environment has the potential...
