This compendium will provide a glimpse of the events and technological upgradation over last 80 years since inception of this committee. As very old records were not available easily, efforts have been made to collect as much records for the ESC, particularly for pre-independence period. Initially separate ESC meetings used to be held for General Services and Traction. From 49th ESC onward, which was held in January’1999 at Pune, a decision was taken to convene a common ESC meeting for all items of Electrical department. This compendium will be updated regularly so that all the records are available at one place.

Llorca Copyright © 2018 Mariano Gallo. Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hedonic model for estimating the efects of transit systems on real estate values is specifed and calibrated for the city of Naples. Te model is used to estimate the external benefts concerning property values which may be attributed to the Naples metro at the present time and in two future scenarios. Te results show that only high-frequency metro lines have appreciable efects on real estate values, while low-frequency metro lines and bus lines produce no signifcant impacts. Our results show that the impacts on real estate values of the metro system in Naples are signifcant, with corresponding external benefts estimated at about 7.2 billion euros or about 8.5% of the total value of real estate assets. 1. Introduction lower environmental impacts produced by less use of private cars, investments in transit systems, especially in railways Urban transit systems play a fundamental role for the social and metros, may generate an appreciable increase in property and economic development of large urban areas, as well as values in the zones served; this beneft should be explicitly signifcantly afecting the quality of life in such areas.

  • Particulate Matter Concentrations in a New Section of Metro Line: a Case Study in Italy
    Computers in Railways XIV 523 Particulate Matter concentrations in a new section of metro line: a case study in Italy A. Cartenì1 & S. Campana2 1Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, Italy 2Department of Industrial Engineering and Information, Second University of Naples, Italy Abstract All round the world, many studies have measured elevated concentrations of Particulate Matter (PM) in underground metro systems, with non-negligible implications for human health due to protracted exposition to fine particles. Starting from this consideration, the aim of this research was to investigate what is the “aging time” needed to measure high PM concentrations also in new stations of an underground metro line. This was possible taking advantage of the opening, in December 2013, of a new section of the Naples (Italy) line 1 railways. The Naples underground metro line 1 before December 31 was long – about 13 km with 14 stations. The new section, opened in December, consists of 5 new kilometres of line and 3 new stations. During the period December 2013– January 2014, an extensive sampling survey was conducted to measure PM10 concentrations both in the “historical” stations and in the “new” ones. The results of the study are twofold: a) the PM10 concentrations measured in the historical stations confirm the average values of literature; b) just a few days after the opening of the new metro section, high PM10 concentrations were also measured in the new stations with average PM10 values comparable (from a statistical point of view) with those measured in the historical stations of the line.

  • Hirenet Networks
    Page 1 of 56 Expanded Job Site Broadcast Network “Expanded Network” (As of 2/1/2004) Job opportunities entered in either the AutoHire automated hiring system or the CareerShop.com job board may be distributed to the “Expanded Network” of job sites if you are a subscriber to the Network. While a subscription fee must be paid to distribute jobs to the network there are no added membership or posting fees imposed by the individual job sites. That is, they are provided as “free sites” to network subscribers. Following is a list of the job sites included in the “Expanded Network”. The list of job sites totals over 4,000 according to the following table. Despite the list of 4,000+, we promote the service as a 3,000+ job site service in our marketing because the job site list is forever changing. Not all job posting links are in place at all times (lost links) and not all jobs submitted will be posted (no-post situations). There are many factors that cause “lost links”. The most common of which results from changes in the job site posting specifications. Often these changes are not immediately made known to network administrators. This results in loss of service for such sites until knowledge of the failure is known and the situation is corrected. There are also many factors that cause “no-post situations”. Some of the more common circumstances occur when the job site requires data that is not provided in the job posting, or if the job site eliminates certain job postings based on content provided (i.e.

  • 2017 Sustainability Profile
    (Translation from the Italian original which remains the definitive version) 2017 Sustainability profile 2017 consolidated non-financial statement G4-1 Dear readers, Here is our sustainability profile, our calling card that presents our group’s daily commitment to save the environment, protect our workers, innovate and dialogue with our stakeholders. We are aware that the construction sector has always been a driving force for the economy and the generation of well-being. We “construct” with great responsibility as we know the potential impacts our activities can have on the surrounding area. The world is looking to a new social, economic and environmental development model. Two important testimonies are the United Nations’ approval of the Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related goals to be achieved by 2030 and the circular economy as a proactive answer to the crisis of the linear economic system. Though there are still political, economic and social barriers to fully reaching these ambitious goals, Astaldi is ready to embrace this challenge as we are certain that sustainability will play an ever more significant role in construction in coming years. This sector has always been tied to the ability of its players to manage and convert certain global challenges, including urbanisation, climate change and the increasingly pressing shortage of material, energy and water resources, into potential opportunities, including new market share. By integrating sustainability into our business, we get a better insight into our industry, thus boosting our ability to grasp new market challenges. We have no doubt that competition between top international players will continue to heighten and a pivotal factor will lie in each company’s ability to thoroughly diversify its products, drive ahead on innovation and draw in the expert and talented people needed to execute large technologically-advanced projects.
