Reimagining Heerenstraat
(2020)TU Delft OpenIn 2016, the Government of Suriname, financed by a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), launched the Paramaribo Urban Rehabilitation Program (PURP), which contributes to the socio-economic revitalisation of Paramaribo’s historic inner city. It aims to attract new residents and commercial activities to the centre of Paramaribo, restore value to its cultural heritage, reduce traffic congestion and strengthen the institutional ...Monograph -

Außer Gefecht: Leben, Leiden und Sterben »kommunistischer« Gefangener in Vietnams amerikanischem Krieg
(2020)Anhand bisher geheimer Quellen untersucht Marcel Berni das Schicksal von 200.000 »kommunistischen« Gefangenen, die während des Vietnamkrieges schlimmsten Gräueltaten ausgesetzt waren – durch US-amerikanische und südvietnamesische Soldaten, durch Geheimdienstagenten und Polizisten. Er schildert den Lageralltag in den Gefängnissen und beleuchtet die Praktiken in den diversen Verhörzentren, die von simplen Schikanen bis hin zu Folter, ...Monograph -

Experimental investigations for the modelling of anhydritic swelling claystones
(2020)Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Geotechnik (IGT) der ETH ZürichAnhydritic claystones are highly problematic for underground construction because of their swelling ability: When the rock comes into contact with water, the rock volume expands due to swelling of both clay as well as anhydrite. When the expansion is restricted, e.g., by an invert arch in tunneling, the swelling rocks can exert high pressures on the lining and damage the structure. The swelling behavior of purely argillaceous rock (containing ...Monograph -
Checklist and host index of the rust fungi (Uredinales) of Switzerland
(2020)The present checklist of Swiss rust fungi (basidiomycetes, order Uredinales [Pucciniales]) comprises 576 taxa belonging to 543 species. For each taxon, the most important synonyms, the life cycle and the host plants recorded in Switzerland are given. It is indicated, furthermore, whether a taxon is adventive in Switzerland and to what extent it has become naturalized. Information is presented on how the accepted rust species are allotted ...Monograph -

On the variability of squeezing behaviour in tunnelling
(2020)Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Geotechnik (IGT) der ETH ZürichThe magnitude of squeezing deformations in tunnelling often varies over short distances, even if there is no obvious change in the construction method, in the depth of cover, in the lithology or rock structure. As long as the reasons for the variability are not known, the tunnelling-induced convergences cannot be predicted with sufficient reliability. Reliable predictions, however, ...Monograph -
