Abstract:
The commented judgment concerns the issues of protection of personal data in the activities of the Institute of National Remembrance. In the judgment of 25 August 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court decided that the information contained in the files of the Institute of National Remembrance shall be governed by the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation, and the President of the Personal Data Protection Office supervises the processing of this data. When interpreting Article 71 of the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation, the Supreme Administrative Court stated that this provision extends the application of the general regulation on data protection to data on deceased persons. The author does not agree with the interpretation presented in the judgment, considers it incorrect and presents arguments justifying a different interpretation of EU law on the protection of personal data.

Abstract:
This paper is going to present the changes in the policy of access to the documents of the Institute of National Remembrance in the period from 2000 until this day in the context of the protection of personal and sensitive data. The paper aims to show the extent to which the policy of access binding in the IPN applies to the guidelines established by the International Council on Archives. To that end, the provisions of access in the IPN have been compared with the Principles of Access to Archives prepared by the ICA. The outline of the changes in the policy of access presented in the paper on the basis on the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance an the Act on the Disclosure of Information confirms unquestionably that the IPN managed successfully to adjust to the Principles and to meet the requirements of the ICA.

Abstract:
Since 2 September 2016, the provisions of the Act of 1 April 2016 on prohibition of propagation of communism or another totalitarian system by the names of organisational units, auxiliary units of communes, buildings, objects and devices of public utility and monuments have been in force. When determining the procedure of the proceedings provided for, the legislator gave a special role to the opinions of the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. The aim and subject of this article is the problem analysis of the recent case law of the Supreme Administrative Court (i.e. from 2019) insofar as it relates to the legal nature and force of the opinions of the Institute of National Remembrance drawn up as a part of the proceedings based on the said Act, and an attempt to translate the conclusions arising from this analysis into possible recommendations for the Sejm.

Abstract:
This article focuses on the growing body of Polish memory laws, including the 2016 ‘Street De-Communization’ Law and the 2018 Law on historical expression that introduced changes to the Act of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance. The analysis zooms in on, in particular, the often-overlooked component of the 2018 Law that requires the investigation of historical crimes of ‘Ukrainian nationalists’, as well as the wider context of ‘memory wars’ through memory laws in Central and Eastern Europe. The examination concludes that there is a discrepancy between the rationale to adopt this legislation in Poland, namely to counteract historical disinformation, and the legal solutions contained in the 2018 Law.

Abstract:
The much-publicised and rather unfortunate amendment of 2018 to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance introduced not only the controversial and subsequently repealed penal provisions, but also the provisions on “Protection of the good name of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Nation”. According to these, protecting the good name of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Nation is subject to the provisions of the Civil Code. The intention of the lawmakers was to prevent the dissemination in public discourse of the false expression “Polish death camps” and similar expressions sometimes used to refer to Nazi German extermination camps located in the occupied territory of Poland. The provision mandating the application of the provisions of the Civil Code on personal rights to the protection of the state and nation’s good name may serve the intended purpose. However, its application may also be much broader, due to the vagueness of the wording used (“good name of the state and nation”) and the powerful protection afforded to personal rights in the Civil Code. The author discusses which provisions of the Civil Code can and which cannot be applied in this case. He also draws attention to the inadequacy of private law tools to protect public interests. He calls for a restrictive interpretation of the provision and recognizing a wide range of circumstances excluding the unlawfulness of an infringement in order to protect constitutional values such as freedom of expression, artistic creation, or scientific research.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to present a communication and language analysis of agent texts on the Polish literary environment prepared by personal sources of information in the years 1956–1990. Their selection was made by employees of the Institute of National Remembrance from the Warsaw branch of the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in a monograph entitled „Twórczość obca nam klasowo”. Aparat represji wobec środowiska literackiego 1956–1990 [“Creativity foreign to our class.” Apparatus of repression against the literary environment from 1956 to 1990]. The analysis applies only to materials that are a direct record or development of a specific denunciation filed by a person registered as a source of information, but does not apply to reports, analysis of situations, statements and other texts authored by the officers of the Security Service. These are sixty-three formally diverse texts consisting of reports, information, notes and remarks from secret collaborators (TW – Tajny Współpracownik), operational contacts (KO – Kontakt Operacyjny), confidential contacts (KP – Kontakt Poufny) and consultants (K – Konsultant). Primarily, the analysis takes into account all description elements of the act of communication and makes an introduction into discourse analysis of secret agent materials originating from the three stages of the Polish People’s Republic. Denunciation resulting in those texts fulfils a social function as a tool for political fight against the opposition and a political function as well, allowing for spreading the belief in the omnipotence of the state and destroying the existing systems of values. The texts are mainly informative, although they are not devoid of emotion expressed linguistically in a variety of ways. The authors are aware of the value of the knowledge conveyed in the texts and of the consequences of denunciation for the people they concerned.

In Poland, apart from law enforcement agencies, the Institute of National Remembrance also deals with the search for homicide victims due to the fact that war crimes and genocide are not subject to the statute of limitations. New technologies used in both criminalistics and forensic archaeology allow even after many years to find homicide victims. These methods have various effectiveness. The author presents some practical, critical remarks regarding the application of some of them.

Abstract:
The primary purpose of this study is to identify those people at most risk of being bullied at work. While much research is being conducted on school bullying, little has been conducted on workplace bullying. Using data gathered from a 2004 study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center for the General Social Survey, which included a Quality of Work Life (QWL) module for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), linear regressions indicated significant findings. As predicted, workers in lower level occupations, as ranked by prestige scoring developed at National Opinion Research, are more likely to be victimized. Data also suggest that being young, Black, and relatively uneducated may contribute to being bullied in certain situations. Future research is needed to examine influences of socio-economic, legal, and other demographic factors that may predict the chance of being bullied.

Full text
Abstract:
Celem badawczym rozprawy doktorskiej było udzielenie odpowiedzi na dwa zasadnicze pytania, a mianowicie: 1. jaką rolę odegrała instytucja przedawnienia karalności w zakresie normatywnych prób rozliczenia przestępczej działalności funkcjonariuszy PRL, towarzyszących polskiej transformacji ustrojowej z końca XX w.?; 2. czy zasadne jest postrzeganie przez przedstawicieli teorii i praktyki prawa przedawnienia karalności jako instytucji należącej do prawa karnego materialnego? Rozdział I poświęcony został problematyce „sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej” i jej znaczeniu dla współczesnego prawa karnego w okresach zmian ustrojowych. Przedstawiono genezę i rozwój tej koncepcji oraz modele sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej w ujęciu historycznym. W rozdziale II centralne miejsce zajęła analiza normatywnej wizji sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej przyjętej przez Polskę po 1989 r. Przedstawiono w szczególności zarys „ustawodawstwa transformacyjnego” ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ustawy o Instytucie Pamięci Narodowej, uregulowań z zakresu rehabilitacji ofiar, ustaw lustracyjnych, weryfikacji sędziów oraz innych ustaw z zakresu prawa karnego. W rozdziale III omówiono kategorię zbrodni komunistycznych, z uwzględnieniem jej normatywnej konstrukcji w aspekcie podmiotowym oraz przedmiotowym. Rozdział IV poświęcony został instytucji przedawnienia karalności w prawie karnym. Przedstawiono w nim genezę i rozwój tej instytucji w prawie europejskim oraz polskim oraz omówiono koncepcje dotyczących teoretycznych podstaw przedawnienia karalności. Szczegółową uwagę poświęcono funkcjom oraz charakterowi prawnemu przedawnienia karalności w polskim prawie karnym. Powyższemu towarzyszyło przedstawienie nowatorskiego (w gruncie rzeczy niereprezentowanego we współczesnej literaturze prawa) stanowiska autora w tym zakresie. W rozdziale V skupiono się na problematyce przedawnienia karalności pod kątem zmiany normatywnej w obszarze przedawnienia ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem uwarunkowań konstytucyjnych. Tytułową instytucję poddano analizie m.in. przez pryzmat standardu nullum crimen (art. 42 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP), konstytucyjnej zasady ochrony praw słusznie nabytych oraz standardów z art. 43 oraz 44 Konstytucji RP. W rozdziale tym omówiono także skutki zmiany ustawy w zakresie przedawnienia karalności oraz zasięg czasowy art. 4 ust. 1a ustawy o IPN i dopuszczalność wyłączenia art. 4 § 1 k.k. na gruncie przedawnienia karalności zbrodni komunistycznych. Rozdział VI zawiera podsumowanie oraz zwięzłe przedstawienie wniosków końcowych.
The research objective of the PhD thesis was to answer two overarching questions, that is: 1. what role has the institution of statute of limitations played as a normative attempt to grapple with the criminal activity of officials of the People’s Republic of Poland, one of many which accompanied the Polish constitutional transformation at the end of the 20th century? and 2. is it reasonable for legal theorists and practitioners to perceive limitation periods as a notion pertaining to substantive criminal law? Chapter I considers “transformative justice” and its importance for contemporary criminal law at times of constitutional changes. The origins and development of the concept were expounded upon, as were models of transformative justice in a historical perspective. Centrally placed in Chapter II is an analysis of a normative vision of transformative justice adopted in Poland after 1989. In particular, an outline of “transformative lawmaking”, notably the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance, regulations on rehabilitation of victims, lustration laws, vetting of judges and other statutes within the realm of criminal law. Chapter III addresses Communist crimes and its normative framework through the subjective and objective prisms. In Chapter IV, discussion turns to the institution of statute of limitations (limitation periods) in criminal law. The origins and development of the notion in European and Polish law, along with conceptions encapsulating the theoretical foundations of limitation periods in respect of prosecution, are characterized. Particular emphasis is placed on the functions and legal character of statutes of limitations in Polish criminal law. The foregoing is supplemented by the presentation of the author’s novel approach, one which has generally not been proffered in contemporary literature before. Chapter V scrutinizes statutes of limitations from the angle of a normative change in the field of limitation, predominantly as regards constitutional amendments. The notion was analyzed by reference to the nullum crimen standard (Article 42(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland) the constitutional principle of protection of legitimately acquired rights and standards enshrined in Articles 43 and 44 of the Constitution. The chapter also contemplates the consequences of amendments of statutes of limitations and the temporal scope of Article 4(1a) of the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance and the permissibility of excluding Article 4 § 1 of the Criminal Code in respect of time-barring the criminality of Communist crimes. Chapter VI offers a summary and a concise enunciation of final conclusions.

Abstract:
The thesis compares Polish and Ukrainian Institutes of National Remembrance, analyses Polish and Ukrainian dominant models of the collective memory and historical narratives of the massacre of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia 1943. The analysis also clarifies and compares interpretations of this phenomenon by Polish and Ukrainian Institutes. The subjects of the research are Polish and Ukrainian Institutions of National Remembrance themselves, as the main promoting tools of politics of memory in their states. The thesis covers a period from the revolutionary changes in Ukraine in 2014 (have changed Ukrainian historical narratives and politics of memory) to present days. Political situations in Ukraine (2014) and Poland (2015) are reflected in this thesis, as they are in the direct relation with changings in politics of memory, which have restored the conflict of memory. The first signs of the memory conflict (Yushchenko presidency and the first Law and Justice cabinet) are explained briefly, as thesis is focused on a current situation. The massacre of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, which is the most tragic point of modern Polish-Ukrainian relations, is described as a sticking point between Poland and Ukraine. The analysis argues in detail that Polish and Ukrainian Institutes are...

Abstract:
Politics of History in Poland have become the central theme of the Government of Law and Justice in the 2005 - 2007 period. The thesis deals with the definition of the term Politics of History and the term as understood by Law and Justice. The new direction of Politics of History prompted a lively debate in Poland between both Polish historians and the general public. The paper describes how the government conducted this policy and the tools utilized. One of their main motives was the delimitation of political developments in the country after 1989 and the lack of dealing with the communist past. For this reason, one of the subchapters of the work is devoted to significant historical discussions between 1989 and 2005. The central figures of the new direction of historical politics in Poland were brothers Jarosław and Lech Kaczyński, who had the greatest influence on the promotion of this policy in public discourse. In conclusion, the results of the two-year enforcement of historical politics.

Abstract:
The arts of memory and of biography have always been closely related. For instance, the memoir, which is an act of remembrance, has a double sense: it looks at the past and to the future, selecting from the stream of memories to form an enduring record called memorial by which events and people can be remembered in the years to come. In Restoration England, memoirs and memorials were popular forms when the word ‘biography’ first appeared. During this period there was an intense interest in the chronicling of the lives of those who contributed much to political and religious events. This commemoration of lives, which gained momentum in Restoration England, was an ancient enterprise. Biographies were regarded as durable monuments wherein the idea of remembrance took an important place. This attributed significance made those endowed with powerful memories venerated people. This chapter discusses the remarkable memorialists of the period. It looks at the career of Reverend Dr. Thomas Fuller as a biographer and as an author of many historical works. Fuller exhibited a photographic memory and an inclination to the memorization of long passages. In addition to this technique, he also adopted a rule that assisted memory; he employed the methodical distribution of facts into discrete locations. As for his biographical methods, Fuller considered two factors: the sense of pragmatism, and the sense of piety.

The question “What do I need to know about cyber frameworks, standards, and laws?” distills the complex landscape of cyber risk laws, requirements, and standards. The chapter begins with a case study on Nielsen Holdings’ legal and business trouble with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It distinguishes compliance from security—explaining how readers can achieve both—and clarifies the dynamic, complex legal landscape in a world of ever-evolving cyber risk. It reviews legislation relating to cyber risk including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GBLA), the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), and GDPR. The chapter describes the importance of adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, creating a cyber policy/act/law/regulation “watch list” and purchasing cyber insurance. At the chapter’s end Falco shares Embedded Endurance strategy insight from his experience leading a team developing a cyber standard of care.

Francisco Broch y Llop taught Spanish (language and for some years also literature) at the Venetian Institute of Economics for more than 30 years, from 1919 to 1954. Until 1937 there was no official teaching of Spanish literature. It was established by a national Act in 1938 and Alfredo Cavaliere was appointed to the chair. Four years later, in 1942, Giovanni Maria Bertini was the first Full Professor of Spanish Literature. He was the head of the Spanish Studies in Venice until 1954, when he left Venice to return to his home University. The study of the Spanish language was until recent years under the charge of the professor of Spanish literature, and thus language, as a subject, had no official citizenship until recent years. In 1954, after a very long process, which lasted for over 15 years with the Italian Ministry of Education, a brand new Faculty of Languages and Literatures was officially established, and Spanish Studies began to flourish at Ca’ Foscari.

Abstract:
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health («Folkehelseinstituttet») (FHI) states that Norway faces several major health challenges. Sick leave is 6%, costing companies and the state tens of billions annually. The FHI proposes, with the support of the Public Health Act («Folkehelseloven») and the national strategy «HelseOmsorg21», that preventive measures should be developed against the negative lifestyle factors to decrease the number of new cases in the life-reducing disease group. The purpose of this chapter is to answer why and how organizations should develop a healthy performance culture through strategic health care management supported by additional health, environmental and safety («HMS») directives. Based on cross-disciplinary theorizing, a definition of a healthy performance culture is proposed. This type of culture consists of dimensions such as health objectives, shared health values, supportive health environment, openness, goal-oriented and value-based behavior of leaders and employees, and a winning mindset. The chapter also underscores the importance of the related individual HR drivers like fun at work, engagement, physical and mental health. The company cases Schibsted/VG, Gjensidige, Findus and Wilhelmsen and findings from in-depth interviews show that health-promoting activities may be the result of a HR strategy, or just individuals’ initiative and voluntariness among the companies’ sports enthusiasts. The case of Findus exemplifies an ongoing development toward a healthy performance culture and the importance of leaders’ participation. The findings support the theoretical model showing the relations between a healthy performance culture, individual HR drivers and organizational performance. A framework for developing a healthy performance culture is presented.

Abstract:
When I wrote my first book African American Women Chemists I neglected to state that it was a historical book. I researched to find the first African American woman who had studied chemistry in college and worked in the field. The woman that I found was Josephine Silane Yates who studied chemistry at the Rhode Island Normal School in order to become a science teacher. She was hired by the Lincoln Institute in 1881 and later was, I believe, the first African American woman to become a professor and head a department of science. But then again there might be women who traveled out of the country to study because of racial prejudice in this country. The book ended with some women like myself who were hired as chemists in the industry before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Therefore, I decided to write another book about the current African American women chemists who, as I say, are hiding in plain sight. To do this, I again researched women by using the web or by asking questions of people I met at American Chemical Society ACS or National Organization for the Professional Advances of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) meetings. I asked women to tell me their life stories and allow me to take their oral history, which I recorded and which were transcribed thanks to the people at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia, PA. Most of the stories of these women will be archived at the CHF in their oral history collection. The women who were chosen to be in this book are an amazing group of women. Most of them are in academia because it is easy to get in touch with professors since they publish their research on the web. Some have worked for the government in the national laboratories and a few have worked in industry. Some of these women grew up in the Jim Crow south where they went to segregated schools but were lucky because they were smart and had teachers and parents who wanted them to succeed despite everything they had to go through.

Abstract:
‘Another Legal Monster?’ That was the question asked by the Law Department of the European University Institute on 16 February 2012 in a debate about the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (TSCG), also known as the Fiscal Compact Treaty. On 2 March 2012, twenty-five Member States of the European Union minus the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic signed the TSCG. A month before, on 2 February 2012, the euro area Member States signed the Treaty Establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM Treaty), another legal monster. In both cases, the monstrosity lies in the fact that Member States have preferred to conclude an international treaty, rather than to use the European Union (EU) institutional system. Why did the European Commission not propose a legislative act to establish a financial assistance mechanism in the Eurozone and strengthen the fiscal discipline in the EU? Does this mean the end of community method and a victory for the intergovernmental method? As Herman Van Rompuy commented about the crisis; ‘often the choice is not between the community method and the intergovernmental method, but between a co-ordinated European position and nothing at all’. In 2010, Angela Merkel defended her vision of a new ‘Union Method’ in a speech held at the College of Europe. This approach can be defined by the following description: ‘co-ordinated action in a spirit of solidarity–each of us in the area for which we are responsible but all working towards the same goal’. Each of us means the European institutions and Member States. The new ‘Euro-international’ treaties (or inter se treaties) raise a number of questions regarding their compatibility with EU law, implications for the Union legal system, institutional balance, national sovereignty and democratic accountability. These questions are all the more important because international treaties raise a number of questions on their compatibility with EU law, implications for the Union legal system and institutional balance.

Abstract:
The paper analyzes the amendments to Title VIII of the Croatian Competition Act regulating penalty clause or the fines, daily fines, and the methods for their imposition, adopted in April 2021. Daily fines are a new institute that further extends the Croatian Competition Agency's (CCA) power as a general, national regulatory authority responsible for the protection of competition in all markets. Therefore, each amended article of that Title is analysed to accurately reflect what has changed and with which provision of the Directive (EU) 2019/1 it has been harmonized. The paper also provides a detailed tabular overview and comparison of the amount of the fine and mitigating and aggravating circumstances that the Agency considered into account when imposing them in cases in the period from 2013 to the end of 2020, so that, finally, it can be concluded if there is a consistent relationship between the number of mitigating and aggravating circumstances and the amount of the fine that CCA imposes when there are infringements of the national and EU competition law.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, a qualification of accelerated creep-resistance of Inconel 718 is assessed using the novel Wilshire-Cano-Stewart (WCS) model and the stepped isostress method (SSM) and predictions are made to conventional creep data. Conventional creep testing (CCT) is a long-term continuous process, in fact, the ASME B&PV III requires that 10,000+ hours of experiments must be conducted to each heat for materials employed in boilers and/or pressure vessel components. This process is costly and not feasible for rapid development of new materials. As an alternative, accelerated creep testing techniques have been developed to reduce the time needed to characterize the creep resistance of materials. Most techniques are based upon the time-temperature-stress superposition principle (TTSSP) that predicts minimum-creep-strain-rate (MCSR) and stress-rupture behaviors but lack the ability to predict creep deformation and consider deformation mechanisms that occur for experiments of longer duration. The stepped isostress method (SSM) has been developed which enables the prediction of creep deformation response as well as reduce the time needed for qualification of materials. The SSM approach has been successful for polymer, polymeric composites, and recently has been introduced for metals. In this study, the WCS constitutive model, calibrated to SSM test data, qualifies the creep resistance of Inconel 718 at 750°C and predictions are compared to CCT data. The WCS model has proven to make long-term predictions for stress-rupture, minimum-creep-strain-rate (MCSR), creep deformation, and damage in metallic materials. The SSM varies stress levels after time interval adding damage to the material, which can be tracked by the WCS model. The SSM data is calibrated into the model and the WCS model generates realistic predictions of stress-rupture, MSCR, damage, and creep deformation. The calibrated material constants are used to generate predictions of stress-rupture and are post-audit validated using the National Institute of Material Science (NIMS) database. Similarly, the MCSR predictions are compared from previous studies. Finally the creep deformation predictions are compared with real data and is determined that the results are well in between the expected boundaries. Material characterization and mechanical properties can be determined at a faster rate and with a more cost-effective method. This is beneficial for multiple applications such as in additive manufacturing, composites, spacecraft, and Industrial Gas Turbines (IGT).

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract A new conduction calibration apparatus has been designed to deliver heat fluxes up to a maximum of 100 kW/m2 with an established goal of ± 5 % precision. This system will provide a close to purely diffusive (as opposed to radiative) heat flux boundary condition and, when compared to the gauge’s response in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) radiative calibration facility, act as a check on the sensitivity of a heat flux gauge to the mode of heat transfer. A platinum-plated copper block heated electrically with 2 kW power is designed to produce uniform temperatures up to 750 K across its face. A cold plate will be maintained around 290 K through pool boiling using a liquid refrigerant and a remote condenser. A 1 mm wide helium filled gap between the hot plate and the sensing surface of a cooled heat flux gauge will provide the high conductive fluxes desired (while limiting radiation to a few per cent and avoiding the uncertainties associated with contact resistance). Detailed numerical modeling of the device is being used to identify limitations and evaluate alternatives in the design, and to analyze the level of uncertainty associated with the facility. A description of the apparatus and the results of preliminary modeling are reported.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an approach to public-private collaborative research in predictive modeling and control of complex engineered systems. Society depends intimately on complex systems. The behavior of a simple system can be modeled and the model can be validated by experimental observations, if the behavior of each component and its interface with other components are known and well-defined. In contrast, a complex system cannot be modeled accurately enough to effectively predict and control the behaviors of the overall system. One example of an engineered complex system network (CSN) is the electricity power grid, which encompasses power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption, as one giant system that includes electric generators, transformers, substation switchyards, transmission lines, consumer devices, and a multitude of new evolving components. The electricity power grid depends on other complex systems, e.g., climate systems that govern wind current for wind turbines, river water levels for thermoelectric cooling, and economic systems for service demand, pricing, revenue collection, and for business capital supply. Operational robustness, reliability, and efficiency of CSN’s are in the interest of all the subsystem owners, end users, and the public welfare of the nation. Conundrum? Who is responsible for the overall CSN’s operational robustness, reliability and efficiency, when so many parts of the system reside in so many different hands with the ultimate beneficiaries of the systems being the general public? Which entities are responsible for funding critical high-risk research, whose ultimate benefits do not reside with any one subset of stakeholders? These questions characterize the challenge of sourcing R&D funds that can be focused on modeling, understanding, and management of CSNs in general. To address such needs for innovative collaborative research, Congress established the Technology Innovation Program (TIP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of the 2007 America COMPETES Act. Its purpose is to “assist United States businesses and institutions of higher education or other organizations, such as national laboratories and nonprofit research institutions, to support, promote, and accelerate innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need.” Ongoing efforts by TIP to identify and qualify societal challenges in the critical national need area of Complex System Networks are introduced.

Abstract:
Purpose – to study the possibilities of institutional theory to establish a modern theory of economic growth, including the factors of institutions and technologies changes. These factors are a set of rules with high coercive force to the agents’ action form a particular mode/model of their adaptation, together with other institutions. Research Methodology – the neoclassical models of economic growth, which may include institutional factors and to study their impact on the growth and change of the factors, into the business practice are applied. The key scientific problem is to choose the right market Institute for a proper way of technological development. The authors use the micro-level analysis of the agents and institutions’ interaction in the process of new technologies appearance. Morphological and taxonomic analysis in order to highlight the models of technological development and economic growth had been applied. Findings – the research results may enrich an economic theory and practice in the area of business models applicability. The findings may assist a business community to influence the general technological development within the national institutional systems. Research limitations – due to the fact that different institutions, structures and technologies act on the economic dynamics at the same time, separating their influence is an independent scientific problem that is not solved in all cases. However, the set of considered institutional factors forms and provides a kind of “manufacturability” of economic growth. Practical implications – the so-called institutional macroeconomics as a practical discipline (which has a very close connection with behavioural macroeconomics) may assist to explore the economic growth from the point of view of changing institutions (firms, business community), labour markets and information – technical and technological changes. Originality/Value – the value of the research consists in the systematization of institutional factors affecting the economic growth, conducting a morphological structural analysis of growth types, which allow identifying eight main growth trajectories in business activity.

Abstract:
The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) in collaboration with the interagency technical committee on radioactive waste has been undertaking a national project to find a final solution to the country’s low to intermediate level radioactive waste. The strategy adopted was to co-locate 2 disposal concepts that will address the types of radioactive waste generated from the use of radioactive materials. This strategy is expected to compensate for the small volumes of waste generated in the Philippines as compared to countries with big nuclear energy programs. It will also take advantage of the benefits of a shared infrastructure and R&D work that accompany such project. The preferred site selected from previous site selection and investigations is underlain by highly fractured “andesitic volcaniclastics” mantled by residual clayey soil which act as the aquifer or water bearing layer. Results of investigation show that the groundwater in the area is relatively dilute and acidic. Springs at the lower elevations of the footprint also indicate acidic waters. The relatively acidic water is attributed to the formation of sulfuric acid by the oxidation of the pyrite in the andesite. A preliminary post closure safety assessment was carried out using the GMS MODFLOW and HYDRUS softwares purchased through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) technical assistance. Results from MODFLOW modeling show that the radionuclide transport follows the natural gradient from the top of the hill down to the natural discharge zones. The vault dispersion model shows a circular direction from the vaults towards the faults and eventually to the creeks. The contaminant transport from borehole shows at least one confined plume from the borehole towards the creek designated as Repo1 and eventually follows downstream. The influx of surface water and rainfall to the disposal vault was modeled using the HYDRUS software. The pressure head and water content at the base of the foundation layer and the bottom of the concrete is where a significant reduction in water content can be observed. It is also noted that water content and pressure remain constant after one year.

Full text
Abstract:
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process invented by The Welding Institute (TWI, United Kingdom) in 1991 in partnership with the National Aeronautics Space Agency. The process is emerging as one of the preferred alternative methods to permanently join materials that are difficult to join with traditional fusion methods (e.g., MIG, TIG, etc.). The welding of various copper alloys to various aluminum alloys is of great interest to the nuclear industry and the electrical distribution industry. The very different melting points of these two alloys preclude traditional fusion welding. Since the pin tool is simultaneously rotating and traversing through the work piece, flow around the tool is asymmetrical. This has led to designating one side of the tool as advancing and the opposite side as retreating. On the advancing side of the weld, the tool has a tangential velocity in the same direction as the weld is being created. The retreating side of the weld tool is the opposite. It can be can expected that asymmetric heating and deformation will occur in the weld due to this advancing/retreating nature of the FSW pin tool. Although previous studies have been performed that have observed this asymmetric behavior in both similar and dissimilar materials, the resulting welds have been of a poor quality. Large statistical experiments were conducted locally to study the effects of tool geometry, process parameters, and material composition have upon the friction stir butt welding of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 to copper alloy 11000 using a modern conventional 3-axis CNC vertical mill. The research seeks to determine (1) which direction a dissimilar metal friction stir weld between aluminum and copper should be executed, (2) the optimal shoulder diameter to be used when friction stir welding aluminum and copper on a CNC mill, and (3) the addition of a third material to act as an aide. The extensive statistical interactions between these parameters is also documented. A weld schedule was developed that resulted in an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) surpassing (greater than 90% of the weaker, more ductile copper alloy UTS strength) what has been documented in the current literature despite the machine limitations of the CNC vertical mill. Proper optimization of the welding schedule developed may approach 100 percent of the basic copper 11000 properties across the welded zone into the aluminum 6061-T6 alloy.

Abstract:
This research project was a collaboration of several research organizations, product manufacturers and fire service representatives to examine hazards associated with residential flooring systems to improve firefighter safety. Funding for this project was provided through the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Grant Program. The main objective of this study was to improve firefighter safety by increasing the level of knowledge on the response of residential flooring systems to fire. Several types (or series) of experiments were conducted and analyzed to expand the body of knowledge on the impact of fire on residential flooring systems. The results of the study have been prepared to provide tactical considerations for the fire service to enable improved decision making on the fire scene. Experiments were conducted to examine several types of floor joists including, dimensional lumber, engineered I-joists, metal plate connected wood trusses, steel C-joists, castellated I-joists and hybrid trusses. Experiments were performed at multiple scales to examine single floor system joists in a laboratory up through a full floor system in an acquired structure. Applied load, ventilation, fuel load, span and protection methods were altered to provide important information about the impact of these variables to structural stability and firefighter safety. There are several tactical considerations that result from this research that firefighters can use immediately to improve their understanding, safety and decision making when sizing up a fire in a one or two family home. This report summarizes the results from each of the experimental series and provides discussion and conclusions of the results.
