Over the last 13 years, parkrun has grown from a small time trial in Bushy Park, London, to become global social movement. During this time, much been claimed about potential health-related benefits participating, but comparatively little attention given reasons for attending. The aim of study was better understand meanings participation both runners and volunteers using an intrinsic case that focused on specific event, Colwick Nottingham, England. Building literature positions leisure sites...
The accurate measurement of the permittivity, loss tangent and dielectric anisotropy DC bias dependence for two different liquid crystal (LC) materials in frequency range 140–165 GHz is described. electrical characteristics are obtained by curve fitting computed transmission coefficients to experimental spectral response a new class electronically reconfigurable selective surface. periodic structure designed yield bandpass filter with without an applied control voltage order measure...
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a next-generation radio astronomy facility that will revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and laws fundamental physics. To achieve intended objectives, it needs stable reference frequency accurate timing signals at each digitizer. These references are used for digitizing astronomical received from receptors. stability accuracy these highly important coherently sampling data. They distributed using long-distance fibers susceptible to...
DEMETRA (DEMonstrator of EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture) is a project co-funded by the EU through research and innovation programme "Horizon 2020". The started in January 2015 lasts 24 months. Based current practice national metrological laboratories, identifying additional necessities timing users, will define develop prototype European time disseminator, EGNSS. Nine different are proposed for demonstration consortium partners. partnership, including Scientific...
Recently an European Consortium of 15 partners from 7 different countries, started to work on a research project, DEMETRA (DEMonstrator EGNSS services based Time Reference Architecture), funded by the Union in frame Horizon 2020 program, aiming develop and experiment time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). aims be prototype dissemination service, timing signal Galileo system, adding particular features like certification, calibration, or integrity, that could interest some specific...
ABSTRACT General insurance syndicates at Lloyd's are required to obtain a Statement of Actuarial Opinion (SAO) in relation their solvency reserves. This paper focuses on the reinsurance close (RITC) process Lloyd's, which is not currently subject such opinions although some choose informal from actuaries RITC. The analyses current RITC and suggests two types opinion that could provide We also consider briefly financial condition for syndicates. International Accounting Standards Committee...
During 2015-2016, a European Consortium of 15 partners from 8 different countries, developed the DEMETRA (DEMonstrator EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture), project funded by Union in frame Horizon 2020 program. This aims at developing and experimenting time dissemination dedicated to specific users like traffic control, energy distribution, finance, telecommunication, scientific institutions. Nine have been developed. These provide with accuracy levels millisecond sub-ns,...
Abstract Academic writing is a staple university practice required across disciplines to determine student success. Despite its ubiquity, however, literacy scholars have long argued that academic both exclusionary and prohibitive. Drawing on the work of we make case for use blogs in higher education as way providing type inclusive or ‘regenring’ such advocate. To achieve this, trial blog final-year undergraduate module, employing mixed-methods approach explore perceptions whether blogging...
The H2020 research project, DEMETRA (DEMonstrator of EGNSS services based on Time Reference Architecture) is funded by the European Union and aims to develop test several time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) introducing important new features such as certified stamping, improved accuracy, or integrity, not yet provided GNSS systems. demonstrator has been successfully assembled at INRIM premises end February 2016, it will be tested with two validation campaigns. first closed loop...
DEMETRA, the "DEMonstrator of Egnss services based on Time Reference Architecture", is an European Project funded by Union in Horizon 2020 program. The main aim project was to develop and test a prototype Service Provider Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) providing innovative or improved time different technologies embedded modular architecture. features are certification, non-repudiation, integrity, reliability, resilience. demonstrator has been developed tested during years...
This paper discusses implementation of blog writing as a formative assessment within final year undergraduate module. Drawing on students' perceptions and experiences, it proposes that blogging offers more inclusive genre for Higher Education than traditional forms academic scholarship.
DEMETRA aims to be a prototype of an European time dissemination service, based on the timing signal Galileo system, adding particular features like - among others certification, calibration, or integrity, that could interest wide range users belonging different sectors as traffic control, energy distribution, finance, telecommunication, and scientific institutions. Nine services are proposed. The paper will report about development status first experimentation results showing potentialities...
