The Low-Emittance Transport (LET) region of a linear collider includes all of the beamlines between the exit of the main damping ring and the interaction point. Generically, the LET includes the bunch compressor, main linac, and beam delivery sections of the linear collider. The principal luminosity requirements of the LET are: preservation of the small emittances generated by the main damping ...

Many African communities have appropriated the international practice of “Truth and Reconciliation Commissions” (TRCs) as a means to construct a shared sense of collective memory, identity, and purpose in the aftermath of violent conflict. In this paper, we consider alternative forms of collective memory practices that might better suit the task of reconciliation in postconflict West African co...

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a composite material made of open-meshed textile structures and a fine-grained concrete. Comparable to steel reinforcement the textile fabric bears the tensile forces released by the cracking of the concrete. Only a minimal concrete cover is required for the bond of the textile fabrics. Thus, the application of TRC leads to the design of filigree and lightwe...

“We cannot hope properly to understand the history of the period under review unless we give apartheid and racism their rightful place as the defining features of that period. (TRC Report, Chap.1, Vol.1, p.15) The quote is ironic because Fullard goes on to argue that the questions of race and racism were in fact strikingly absent from the interrogational framework of the TRC, in both its proces...

Objective. To perform an evidence-based review of treatments for Toxoplasma retinochoroiditis (TRC). Methods. A systematic literature search was performed using the PubMed database and the key phrase "ocular toxoplasmosis treatment" and the filter for "controlled clinical trial" and "randomized clinical trial" as well as OVID medline (1946 to May week 2 2014) using the keyword ''ocular toxoplas...

It has long been understood that availability of thermophysical and thermochemical property data is vital to scientific research and industrial design. For over 65 years, the Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) has been publishing tables of critically evaluated data covering physical and thermodynamic properties of pure compounds, TRC Tables-Hydrocarbons and TRC Tables-Non-Hydrocarbons. Over t...

Chlorine (Cl) is a highly toxic, widely used halogen disinfectant that is present in point-source pollution discharges from wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency freshwater criteria for Cl are 19 microg total residual Cl (TRC)/L as a maximum 1-h average concentration and 11 microg TRC/L as a maximum 4-d average; however, toxicological da...

Background Previous studies have shown that social climate in therapeutic residential youth care (TRC) is important to the welfare of residents, staff, and assessing treatment outcomes. The most influential theory on social climate in residential settings is the theory of Moos. The measurement of the concepts and aspects of this theory using the Community Oriented Programs Environment Scale (CO...
