  • Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF)
    Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) Parallel to the installation of an operational A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System) at Hamburg Airport, three partners agreed on the cooperation in installing and operating a unique field test platform for research and development in the field of air traffic manage- ment and airport operation. Trials to identify and evaluate improved ground processes The cooperation of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, Ham- burg Airport and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) enables a large variety of opportunities for both operational stakehold- ers and research/development. In 2006, the partners set up the Airport Research and Innovation Facility Hamburg (ARIF) as an operational environment. Thus, existing research infrastruc- tures such as apron, tower or airport control centre simulators could be extended with important operational input. The ARIF is a unique platform for the development, testing, evaluation and validation of future support systems in an operational en- vironment, aiming at midsize airports. Thus, ARIF provides essential advantages, such as: - Use of real-time data during development phases - Short cycles between implementation of innovative ideas and operators’ feedback - Direct evaluation of existing system components - (Pre-) testing of new concepts and future technology without operational limitations - Optimal infrastructure for shadow mode trials Research Areas Besides focusing on higher levels of A-SMGCS (e.g. planning and guidance), the ARIF at Hamburg Airport is also designed to allow research in the context of Total Airport Management (TAM) and Performance Based Airport Management (PBAM). All partners have identified the need for the development and implementation of an integrated airport management with a common set of operational data.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus TORRES v. MADRID ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT No. 19–292. Argued October 14, 2020—Decided March 25, 2021 Respondents Janice Madrid and Richard Williamson, officers with the New Mexico State Police, arrived at an Albuquerque apartment com- plex to execute an arrest warrant and approached petitioner Roxanne Torres, then standing near a Toyota FJ Cruiser. The officers at- tempted to speak with her as she got into the driver’s seat. Believing the officers to be carjackers, Torres hit the gas to escape. The officers fired their service pistols 13 times to stop Torres, striking her twice. Torres managed to escape and drove to a hospital 75 miles away, only to be airlifted back to a hospital in Albuquerque, where the police ar- rested her the next day. Torres later sought damages from the officers under 42 U. S. C. §1983. She claimed that the officers used excessive force against her and that the shooting constituted an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment. Affirming the District Court’s grant of summary judgment to the officers, the Tenth Circuit held that “a suspect’s continued flight after being shot by police negates a Fourth Amendment excessive-force claim.” 769 Fed.

  • Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2Nd - 4Th, 2015
    Organized by: PRELIMINARY PROGRAM Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2nd - 4th, 2015 TOLEDO WORLD CAPITAL OF HYDRATION, 2015 © Antonio L. Pareja On an evening in 1614, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, El Greco, picked up the easel and concluded his work “View and Plan of Toledo”, in which he described his particular vision of a city that owes its existence to the Tagus river. Exactly 400 years later, A. Pareja replaces oil painting by photography and the easel by the tripod in order to capture -this time reflecting the true picture- the same view of the City of the Three Cultures and from the same place where El Greco designed his painting. WELCOME Dear friends, Hydration is a health and nutrition field whose relevance is continuously growing among the scientific, medical and pharmaceutical communities, but also in the dietetics and nutrition areas and among consumers worldwide. We find ourselves facing this challenge, which is also a great opportunity, where the scientific community can join efforts to work as one, providing a global vision on new research areas related to hydration and its role in health. Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the II International and IV Spanish Hydration Congress that will be held the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December 2015 in Toledo; a beautiful city representative of cultural and intellectual diversity. This event, which has taken place every two years since 2008, has become a scientific milestone of tremendous international significance. The last congress, held in 2013, enjoyed the participation of over 1,000 health and nutrition experts from 22 countries within 5 continents, and where 91 new scientific papers were presented.

This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property.

The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population.
