Is it conceivable to contemplate a future without the car as the center of an urban transportation system? Can emerging economies grow without concomitant growth in car usage? San Pedro Sula, Honduras, is one city at a critical decision point about the future of transportation and mobility. Will it be a sustainable transport future that balances economic, environmental and social needs or will it be the traditional “predict and provide” approach that attempts to expand the capacity of the road system to meet future travel demand. This paper provides some background into the issue for this Central American city by describing the current urban transport system, current plans for improvement and outlines a process for defining a vision for a sustainable transport future in San Pedro Sula. The paper concludes with a challenge to all cities that currently have low automobile ownership rates to consider a sustainable transport system in order to “thrive” with transport choices for all residents rather than “choke” on congestion and the negative side effects thereof.

The aim of this paper is analyse the notion of Central Europe used in historiography. The author reconstructs different meanings of this term used in the works of George Schopflin, Peter Burke, Oskar Halecki, Piotr Wandycz. This notion has not only geographic but also social and historical meaning.

A população dos países mais desenvolvidos passa, em média, cerca de 90 % do seu tempo em ambientes interiores, seja em casa, no trabalho e até em actividades de lazer. Assim, é indiscutível a necessidade de manutenção de ambientes interiores saudáveis e confortáveis. este estudo teve como principal objectivo avaliar a qualidade do ar interior e a eficiência do sistema de ar condicionado das salas de operações de um bloco operatório e de uma central de esterilização de um hospital Português, utilizando como indicador as concentrações de dióxido de carbono. People of developed countries spend about 90% of their time indoor, in their houses, workplaces or in leisure time. in consequence, nowadays, it is very important to keep healthy and comfortable indoor environments. the main goal of the study was to evaluate the quality and the efficiency of the conditional air system of 6 operations room of a surgical site and a central of sterilization of a Portuguese hospital, being used as indicating the concentrations of carbon dioxide.

The origin of the tri-phasic burst pattern, observed in the EMGs of opponent muscles during rapid self-terminated movements, has been controversial. Here we show by computer simulation that the pattern emerges from interactions between a central neural trajectory controller (VITE circuit) and a peripheral neuromuscularforce controller (FLETE circuit). Both neural models have been derived from simple functional constraints that have led to principled explanations of a wide variety of behavioral and neurobiological data, including, as shown here, the generation of tri-phasic bursts.
