Recently, much of the literature on sharing in cities has focused economy, which people use online platforms to share underutilized assets marketplace. This view is too narrow for cities, as it neglects myriad ways, reasons, and scales citizens urban environments. Research presented here by Liveable Cities team form participant workshops Lancaster Birmingham, UK, suggests that a broader approach understanding essential. The research also highlighted tools methods may be used help identify...

The collision broadening and shift of the lithium resonance line, formed in absorption under low pressures helium, have been measured. (half) half-width gamma beta are found to vary with helium density N according following relations: /N=(1.73+or-0.10)*10-9 rads-1 atom-1 cm3 /N=(0.00+or-0.05)*10-9 rad s-1 cm3. A recent theoretical calculation is reasonable agreement these results.
