smallest member state of the European Differdange Union. The greatest distance from the Mondorf-les-Bains Esch-sur-Alzette north to the south of the country is 82 kilometres, and from the west to the east Dudelange Schengen it is 57 kilometres. Two major landscapes shape the natural territory: the Oesling in the north and the Guttland in the south France luxembourg presents itself geography and climate 10 Luxembourg City, the capital of the Grand Duchy, has three lower towns, including the Grund with its old houses and its remains of the ancient fortress The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is located in the heart of Western Europe between Belgium, Germany and France. The Grand Duchy has two natural regions: the Oesling in the north and the Guttland (literally Good Land), which includes the Moselle valley in the east and the Minette coal basin in the south. Forests cover almost 40% of the land. The country covers an area of 2,586 km2, 1,758 km2 of which are in the Guttland and the remaining 828 km2 in the Oesling. Its total population in January 2004 was 451,600. The lake of the Upper Sûre is the most important drinking water reservoir of the country and one of the most appreciated The capital tourist attractions of the Oesling The city of Luxembourg has a population of 78,300. Visitors never fail to be surprised by the contrast between the modern upper city, perched on a rocky plateau with a sheer drop, and the three lower old towns, Grund (“the Bottom”), Clausen and Pfaffenthal. The European quarter that is home to the European institutions has been spread- ing over the Kirchberg plateau to the north-west of the city since the 1960s. The city of Luxembourg is at an al- titude of 300 m above sea level. The regions The variety of Luxembourg’s landscapes is one of its main attractions, despite being divided into just two main re- gions, the Oesling and the Guttland. The Oesling, in the north, is part of the Ardennes massif and borders Germany’s Eifel plateau. This wooded region occupies a third of the country and attracts many tourists. It is also the highest region in Luxembourg, rising to some 560 m above sea level (Wilwerdange). The Oesling has a harsh climate and is an area of highland villages, lakes and rivers with oak and pine forests covering its steep slopes. luxembourg presents itself geography and climate 11 The most ancient elements of the fortress of Vianden, which was restored in exemplary fashion, date from the ninth century Its main towns are Wiltz, Vianden and Clervaux. The Troisvierges plateau, to the north of the Oesling, is mainly arable land and has few forests. It is the coldest and wettest area in Luxembourg. As far back as in Roman times, vineyards existed along the Moselle. Wellenstein The Ardennes plateau, traversed by rivers below the Wiltz basin, is the most typical area of the Oesling. Its land- forms part of the numerous little villages scapes are rich in contrasts of form and colour, plateau and forest.

  • Luxembourg Report
    Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators 2009 Luxembourg report SGI 2009 | 2 Luxembourg report Executive summary During the last two decade’s rise in international financial markets, Luxembourg’s economy has grown more than the OECD average. In terms of GDP per capita, it has become the richest country in the world. This situation is not entirely the result of deliberate policy. Luxembourg has been constrained by the dictates of globalization and by the harmonization process within the European Union, but has nevertheless profited handsomely by creating a favorable environment for the establishment of foreign companies. Due to the country’s wealth, the government has often been tempted to try solving problems through increased spending on social programs. However, Luxembourg’s culture does not easily accept the loss of newly won rights. This makes it difficult for the government to return to a more moderate, or realistic, level of spending. More than most other industrial nations, Luxembourg benefits from a rejuvenating population, largely due to high rates of immigration. This phenomenon is even stronger within the economically active population, since many people work in Luxembourg but live across the border in France, Belgium or Germany. Approximately 41percent of wage-earners belong to this cross-border commuter category, and their number has steadily increased over the past decades. The social security system’s current equilibrium is dependent on growth in the number of members, and on their relative youth, which means the system will collapse if growth slows. In fact, studies have shown that in order to sustain the system an an annual growth rate of 4 percent of GDP and an annual job-growth rate of 2 percent must be maintained.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • Differential Grain Use on the Titelberg, Luxembourg
    ]. Ethnobiol. 2(1): 79-88 May 1982 DIFFERENTIAL GRAIN USE ON THE TITELBERG, LUXEMBOURG RALPH M. ROWLETT and ANNE L. PRICE Department ofAnthropology, University ofMissouri-Columbia Columbia, MO. 65211 MARIA HOPF Emeritus Curator of Ethnobotany, Romisch-Germanische Zentral Museum Mainz Federal Republic of Germany ABSTRACT.-The "Titelberg," Luxembourg, is an Iron Age hillfort which was occupied from La Tene II (ca. 200 B.C.) until the end of the Roman Empire in northern Gaul (ca. A.D. 400). Prior to the Iron Age there was also a Neolithic use of the mountain top in the third millenium B.C. From the Iron Age until its abandonment, the Titelberg was mainly populated by Celtic folk, apparently of the Treveri tribal chiefdom. Carbonized cereal grains have been recovered from most levels. At the emplacement excavated by the Uni­ versity of Missouri, there were a stratified series of mint foundries. From the late Neolithic comes a small variety of wheat, while oats appear as early as the hearths of La Tene II. From the Dalles Floor phase, after the Roman conquest, barley is the most frequently encountered grain. Bread wheat does not make a strong appearance until the late fourth century, when either the last inhabitants of the Titelberg or immigrating Franks left the most recent feature to be excavated. Although the remains are found in the context of a continuing cultural tradition, the particular combinations of cereals recovered change with either major shifts in cultural trajectory or the appearance of intrusive cultures nearby. These changes seem not necessarily "caused" simply by either overt introductions or the prestige of the intrusive culture, but as a way to adjust to other factors, such as taxation, political status, and meat supply.

Major threats to bridges primarily consist of the aging of the structural elements, earthquake-induced shaking and standing waves generated by windstorms. The necessity of information on the state of health of structures in real-time, allowing for timely warnings in the case of damaging events, requires structural health monitoring (SHM) systems that allow the risks of these threats to be mitigated. Here we present the results of a short-duration experiment carried out with low-cost wireless instruments for monitoring the vibration characteristics and dynamic properties of a strategic civil infrastructure, the Adolphe Bridge in Luxembourg City.
