Coordination of traffic lights evaluation

This case study consists in the evaluation of the Kaunas city traffic speed taking into consideration that traffic lights were coordinated. Kaunas suffers from high traffic intensity and, as a consequence, traffic jams often, and happens mainly because the city can only be crossed by the center. Lithuania, as the rest of Europe experienced a big growth, from 1995 to 2005 coinciding with the crisis, that is to say that number of cars increased to highest levels as well as the traffic intensity. Moreover, by comfortability has to be borne in mind that a lot of people prefer to drive by car since takes much less time to get to a place and in cold winters don’t have to reach any bus stop nor waiting for the bus. The city was not ready for such an amount of cars thus generating traffic jams. So that, the aim and main goal of the project is to evaluate one way of clearing the streets and letting the vehicles run faster, which is would be to evaluate its actual theoretical traffic speed, comparing it to experimental ones and calculate it again assuming all traffic lights coordinated. This will allow to see how necessary is the coordination as well as other conclusions regarding objects in infrastructure.Outgoin

El món funerari medieval a la Plana de Vic: El cas de Sant Andreu del Castell de Tona

Aquest article és fruit d’un treball de recerca de 2n de batxillerat que ha dut a terme l’estudiant Ot Ordeig, que el 2010 va participar en les excavacions al Camp de les Lloses. Es tracta d’un estudi de les restes òssies localitzades a les necròpolis de l’Esquerda (Roda de Ter) i l’església de Sant Andreu del Castell. Aquí es presenten els resultats pel que fa a Tona, a partir de l’anàlisi del material que havia estat localitzat en diverses campanyes dins l’església i al solar de la Rectoria Vella o cal Campaner, al costat del temple

Cel·les monàstiques vinculades a Guifré el Pelós i a la seva obra repobladora (vers 871-897)

In the last decades of the ninth century there were several monastic or para-monastic cells linked to the count «Guifré el Pelós» (the Hairy) and his task of repopulation. Some of them, as «Sant Andreu de Gréixer» and «Sant Llorenç de Morunys», did exist before the count founded the masculine monastery of «Santa Maria de Ripoll» and the feminine one of «Sant Joan de les Abadesses». These two monasteries, as many others of that time, had their own net of monastic cells placed in alodia donated by the founder count, as it can be seen in the inclosed map. During his living were also founded the cells of «Santa Maria de la Quar» and «Sant Sebastià del Sull», with no known relation with any monastery

La visita de Roc d'Olzinelles als monestirs benedictins del bisbat de Girona l'any 1827

El monjo Roc d’Olzinelles, arxiver de Ripoll i visitador de la Congregació Benedictina Tarraconense, visità els monestirs gironis el 1827. N’examinà els arxius i tragué còpia o regest d’alguns pergamins medievals, però les seves notes sobre la visita es perderen. No obstant això, gràcies a les cartes que envià al canonge Jaume Ripoll i als informes que trameté al pare José de La Canal coneixem 42 dels documents que veié, tres dels quals desconeguts fins ara

El quadern de Joan de Barcelona, monjo de Ripoll i de Fleury, abat de Santa Cecília de Montserrat (París, BnF, lat. 2858, f. 64-71v)

Els textos de les dotze cartes copiades en el seu quadern pel monjo i abat Joan ens ofereixen dades monàstiques i litúrgiques d'interès. L'esment de la festivitat litúrgica de la Pasqua de Resurrecció en la primera d'elles permet datar la sèrie entre els anys 1020 i 1023, consecutivament, llevat de les dues referents a l'abat Abbó de Fleury, afegides quan ja es trobava en aquell monestir. La referència a unes «capse» en una carta que l'abat Oliba féu arribar als monjos de Ripoll fa deduir que es tractava d'arquetes per a estotjar les relíquies de sant Benet i de santa Escolàstica trameses l'any 1023 per l'abat Gauzlí.The texts of the twelve letters copied in his notebook by the monk and abbot Joan offer monastic and liturgical interesting data. The mention of the liturgical feast of the Resurrection in the first one allows the dating of the whole series between 1020 and 1023 consecutively, excepting the two mentioning abbot Abbo of Fleury, added later when Joan resided in that monastery. The reference to some «capse» in a letter send by abbot Oliba to the monks of Ripoll leads to the deduction that they were little chests with relics of St Benedict and St Scholastica, sent in 1023 by abbot Gauzlin
