In the same manner, the phenomenon of a “missing link” may be considered as a situation in which the quality of service has extremely low values due to the fact that no direct link exists between two points. As described in the above-mentioned document, as a simplified method, for individual road categories, one may take the following capacities in terms of number of vehicles as the average daily traffic: − 4-lane motorway: 40,000 – 60,000 PCU/24 hrs − roads of 2 lanes: 8,000 – 12,000 PCU/24 hrs As in the case of roads, there are a great number of factors determining the bottlenecks on a railway line. It is practically impossible to concentrate all elements in a single bottleneck measure. In order to reach practical measures it appeared appropriate to take the following capacity limits: TRANS/WP.5/2005/16/Add.8 page 2 − Single track main lines: 1 x 60 – 80 trains/day − Double track main lines: 2 x 100 – 200 trains/day According to that definition, the bottlenecks regarding the Hungarian TEN road network are described below.

  • PAKS II PROJECT to BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH.Pdf
    PAKS II PROJECT TO BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH The construction of two new units for the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is the project of the century. The project may create a significant number of jobs at a number of manufacturing and service companies, as well as in education through the required training of fresh professional graduates, thereby providing a livelihood for several tens of thousands of people. The identification of potential domestic suppliers and subcontractors has begun. Nearly 400 companies have come forward so far in order to contribute to the up to 40% proportion of domestic suppliers. More than three-quarters of the population support the already operational nuclear power plant, and the managers of the identified domestic companies unanimously support the establishment of the new units. Operating with the support of more than three-quarters of the population, the Paks Nuclear Power Plant is the most marketable electricity generator in Hungary today, accounts for more than half the electricity generated in Hungary, and helps keep the price of electricity at an affordable level. At the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, the quantity of electricity generated since its connection to the grid has recently reached 400 TWh, which corresponds to the electricity used by the whole Hungarian population over a period of 35 years. The electricity generated at the nuclear power plant is by far the cheapest in Hungary, and this will remain so with the units to be newly constructed. ‘In connection with the establishment of the new units, the Russian party has undertaken to guarantee local content of up to 40%,’ said Mrs Lászlóné Németh, Minister for National Development.

  • Agricultural Land Property Value
    Dear Reader, We would like to present you a brief summary of the results of our most recent research focusing on the real estate market soon to be published within the framework of the OTP Value Map. Maintaining previously introduced basic principles, methods and values of our real estate market analyses, this time we examine the agricultural land market. In recent years on the Hungarian real estate market agricultural land has been the second most popular type of real estate with the highest number of sales following residential properties. Based on our previous experience and according to the analyses published so far on the market, arable land has reacted to the crisis more favourably than other elements of the sector. In the course of our survey we were looking for answers to the following questions: Is agricultural land really more crisis-resistant? How has the turnover of land evolved during the crisis? What is the price of agricultural land in different areas? Does the development of the infrastructure result in price changes regarding agricultural land, and if yes, to what extent? Arable land forms a special category within the real estate market, because: ‐ it is available in limited (or actually, due to restrictions, in slightly decreasing) quantity; ‐ the speculative market is basically distinguished from the market of agricultural land meant for long- term agricultural production; ‐ its market is highly influenced by the government’s political decisions (land purchase moratorium, ban on purchases by companies, pre-emption right

  • Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae
    The LepidopterologicalSocietyLepidopterological Society of Japan eeLwt 7)izns. gopid. Soc. ]mpan 47 (4): Z78-284, December 1996 Ice-inoculation avoidance in hibernating larya of Apatura metis (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae) Kazuo HosHIKAWA Faculty of Life and Environmental Science, Shimane University, Nishikawatsu, Matsue City, 690 Japan m320C Abstract Larvae of APatuva metis hibernating in Hokkaido froze at spontaneously, -70C while they were frozen at when ice-inocurated. Although the frozen larvae toleratecl -19'C down to for 24 hrs, yet they avoided inoculative freezing by two ways: 1) to prevent water invasion onto ventraHntegument, through which ice-inoculation occurred, by lateral hairs and silken mat, 2) to choose hibernating site on east-northern surface of host tree trunk, where inoculation should hardly occur. The larvae accumulated glycerol in haemolymph to the amount of 6.5% of fresh body weight, together with O.5% trehalose. For comparison, cold resistance in larvae of Sasakia charondu hibernating in Iitter layer was also studied. They showed no inoculation avoidance de$pite re]atively weak ability of freezing resistance, and cuntained trehalose (1.4%) but no glycerol. Key words Cold resistance, ice-inoculation avoidanee, hibernation, APatum metis, SUsakia charondke. Introduction Most insects hibernating above the ground in temperate or cold regions are exposed to coldness, more or Iess, hence they have developed abirities for cold resistance. Apart from co]d avoidance by migration or microhabitat selection (Hoshikawa et al., 1988), cold resistance has been studied along two lines : supercooling and freezing resistance (Asahina, 1969; Tsumuki, 1988; Leather et al,, 1993). And once acquired enough cold resistance, hibernating period is regarded as relatively safe and stable season in terms of population dynamics (Sakagami et al., 1984).

  • Regulation Model of the Lake Velence Reservoir System
    REGULATION MODEL OF THE LAKE VELENCE RESERVOIR SYSTEM By K. KORIs-B. NAGY* Institute of Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering, Technical University, Budapest (Received: November 1, 1976) Presented by Prof Dr. 1. V. NAGY Introdnction A Hungarian water resources system conslstlllg of Lake Velence and two upstream reservoirs v,-ill be analyzed from the aspect of meeting optimum recreation conditions in the lake region. The integrate, complex development program of the Lake Velence recreation area requires the lake level to be regulated to meet recreation demands. Regulation will be achieved by the Zamoly reservoir, formerly complet­ ed, and by the recently constructed Patka reservoir. The two reservoirs and the {)utlet gate of Lake Velence "will maintain the optimum lake level over extended periods of time. A model has been established for estimating damages concomitant to lake levels other than ideal (high or low) to find the optimum schedule of operation, so as to minimize the average value of the damages resulting from level fluctuations, rather than the fluctuations themselves. In what fol­ lows the mathematical model and its practical application "\Y-ill be described. The water resources system has to be operated in compliance with {)bjectives set out before. During the past two or three decades, important advances have been made in the mathematical modelling of water resources systems [1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6]. These have proved successful, among others, in optimiz­ ing operating schedules. Description of the system Lake Velence, 'with an area of 26 sq· km, is situated in the western part of Hungary, not very distant from Lake Balaton.
