  • To the Air Crew Exposure to Cosmic Radiation
    P-1a-44 To the Air Crew Exposure to Cosmic Radiation F. Spurny, I. Kovar, A. Malusek, K. Turek Department of Radiation Dosimetry, Nuclear Physics Insitute, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague INTRODUCTION The cosmic radiation is one of the contributor to the natural radiation environment. The level of exposure to it increases with the altitude. At the sea level the annual exposure level is about 0.3 mSv, at the air transport altitudes it can reach 10 µSv per hour. In 1990, the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended that the radiation exposure due to the cosmic rays at high altitudes be taken into account where appropriate as part of occupational exposure to radiation (1). Air crew members have become in such a way another group of workers for whom exposure to ionising radiation is one of occupational hazard (2- 6). Preliminary estimation shows that the level of this exposure is in average higher than for the most of other occupationally exposed groups of persons. It should be also mentioned that there are significant differences in exposure conditions of aircraft crew and occupational exposures generally (6): • the fraction of absorbed dose deposited at high LET is much greater for air crew, about 50 % as compared to few percents only for others; and, as was noted, there are no useful human data for high LET radiation effects; and • there is a little more than one half of females in air crew, while they represent only few percents for other occupationally exposed persons. Both these two factors increase the importance of correct estimation of air crew exposure.

  • Tageszeitung (Taz) Article on the Opening of the Berlin Wall
    Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Fall of the Berlin Wall (November 9, 1989) Two journalists from Die Tageszeitung (taz), a left-of-center West Berlin newspaper, describe the excitement generated by the sudden opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. The event was the result of internal pressure applied by East German citizens, and it evoked spontaneous celebration from a people who could once again freely cross the border and rekindle relationships with friends and relatives on the other side. (Please note: the dancing bear mentioned below is a figurative reference to West Berlin's official mascot. Beginning in 1954, the flag of West Berlin featured a red bear set against a white background. In 1990, the bear became the mascot of a unified Berlin. The former West Berlin flag now represents the city as a whole.) "We Want In!" The Bear Is Dancing on the Border Around midnight, RIAS – the American radio station broadcasting to the East – still has no traffic interruptions to report. Yet total chaos already reigns at the border checkpoint on Invalidenstrasse. People parked their cars at all conceivable angles, jumped out, and ran to the border. The transmission tower of the radio station "Free Berlin" is already engulfed by a throng of people (from the West) – waiting for the masses (from the East) to break through. After three seconds, even the most hardened taz editor finds himself applauding the first Trabi he sees. Everyone gets caught up in the frenzy, whether she wants to or not. Even the soberest members of the crowd are applauding, shrieking, gasping, giggling.

The analysis mainly starts from four aspects: geographical environment, developing history, urban space fabric and building style. The two cities have similar geographical latitudes but different climate. Both of the two cities have a long history of development. As historical streets, both of the two streets are the main shopping street in the two cities respectively. The Berlin one is a famous luxury-shopping street while the Harbin one is a famous shopping destination for both citizens and tourists. As for the urban fabric, both streets have fishbone-like spatial structure but with different densities; both streets are pedestrian-friendly but with different scales; both have courtyards space structure but in different forms. Friedrichstrasse was divided into two parts during the World War II and it was partly ruined. It was rebuilt in IBA in the 1980s and many architectural masterpieces were designed by such world-known architects like O.M.
