Certament ha de ser un motiu de satisfacció per a qualsevol mestre veure l"empremta deixada per l"obra pròpia juntament amb la que es reflecteix en la producció dels seus deixebles. En aquests volums editats en homenatge al professor Max Pfister amb motiu del seu setantè aniversari s"hi combinen encertadament aquestes dues facetes: els editors han estructurat aquest homenatge en dos volums. El primer recull escrits diversos del mateix Max Pfister de tema gal.loromànic o italoromànic; el segon articles de tema divers, però essencialment italoromànic, dels col.laboradors del LEI.

RATHMANN, Michael (ed. ). Studien zur antiken Geschichtsschreibung. Bonn : Habelt GMBH, 2009

No menos útil que la escritura de la historia para conocer lo que sucedió realmente es analizar las maneras de escribir esa misma historia para saber qué motivaciones, intenciones, fi lias o fobias latieron bajo la prosa de un historiador, un arte del que ya la misma antigüedad nos brindó excelentes ejercicios, por citar dos ejemplos ilustres, como la Maledicencia de Heródoto, de Plutarco, o el Cómo se debe escribir la historia, de Luciano de Samosata. A esa labor tan interesante se dedicó, en diciembre de 2006, un coloquio en el Institut für Geschichtswissenschaft, Abteilung Alte Geschichte de la Rheinische Friedrich- Wilhelms-Universität de Bonn y con el no menos importante motivo de festejar el octogésimo aniversario de una celebridad de la historia antigua como la del profesor Gerhard Wirth.

Investigation of Electromagnetic Gauges for Determination of In-Place Density of HMA Pavements, TR-576, 2009

This study evaluated the use of electromagnetic gauges to determine the adjusted densities of HMA pavements. Field measurements were taken with two electromagnetic gauges, the Pavement Quality Indicator (PQI) 301 and the Pavetracker Plus 2701B. Seven projects were included in the study with 3 to 5 consecutive paving days. For each day/lot 20 randomly selected locations were tested along with seven core locations. The analysis of PaveTracker and PQI density consisted of determining which factors are statistically significant, and core density residuals and a regression analysis of core as a function of PaveTracker and PQI readings. The following key conclusions can be stated: 1. Core density, traffic and binder content were all found to be significant for both electromagnetic gauges studied, 2. Core density residuals are normally distributed and centered at zero for both electromagnetic gauges, 3. For PaveTracker readings, statistically one third of the lots do not have an intercept that is zero and two thirds of the lots do not rule out a scaler correction factor of zero, 4. For PQI readings, statistically the 95% confidence interval rules out the intercept being zero for all seven projects and six of the seven projects do not rule out the scaler correction factor being zero, 5. The PQI 301 gauge should not be used for quality control or quality assurance, and 6. The Pavetracker 2701B gauge can be used for quality control but not quality assurance. This study has found that with the limited sample size, the adjusted density equations for both electromagnetic gauges were determined to be inadequate. The PaveTracker Plus 2701B was determined to be better than the PQI 301. The PaveTracker 2701B could still be applicable for quality assurance if the number of core locations per day is reduced and supplemented with additional PaveTracker 2701B readings. Further research should be done to determine the minimum number of core locations to calibrate the gauges each day/lot and the number of additional PaveTracker 2701B readings required.
