Iowa Sex Offender Research Council Report to the Iowa General Assembly January 22, 2009

Over the last several years, lawmakers have been responding to several highly publicized child abduction, assault and murder cases. While such cases remain rare in Iowa, the public debates they have generated are having far-reaching effects. Policy makers are responsible for controlling the nature of such effects. Challenges they face stem from the need to avoid primarily politically-motivated responses and the desire to make informed decisions that recognize both the strengths and the limitations of the criminal justice system as a vehicle for promoting safe and healthy families and communities. Consensus was reached by the Task Force at its first meeting that one of its standing goals is to provide nonpartisan guidance to help avoid or fix problematic sex offense policies and practices. Setting this goal was a response to the concern over what can result from elected officials’ efforts to respond to the types of sex offender-related concerns that can easily become emotionally laden and politically charged due to the universally held abhorrence of sex crimes against children. The meetings of the Task Force and the various work groups it has formed have included some spirited and perhaps emotionally charged discussions, despite the above-stated ground rule. However, as is described in the report, the Task Force’s first set of recommendations and plans for further study were approved through consensus. It is hoped that in upcoming legislative deliberations, it will be remembered that the non-legislative members of the Task Force all agreed on the recommendations contained in this report. The topics discussed in this first report from the Task Force are limited to the study issues specifically named in H.F. 619, the Task Force’s enabling legislation. However, other topics of concern were discussed by the Task Force because of their immediacy or because of their possible relationships with one or more of the Task Force’s mandated study issues. For example, it has been reported by some probation/parole officers and others that the 2000 feet rule has had a negative influence on treatment participation and supervision compliance. While such concerns were noted, the Task Force did not take it upon itself to investigate them at this time and thus broaden the agenda it was given by the General Assembly last session. As a result, the recently reinstated 2000 feet rule, the new cohabitation/child endangerment law and other issues of interest to Task Force members but not within the scope of their charge are not discussed in the body of this report. An issue of perhaps the greatest interest to most Task Force members that was not a part of their charge was a belief in the benefit of viewing Iowa’s efforts to protect children from sex crimes with as comprehensive a platform as possible. It has been suggested that much more can be done to prevent child-victim sex crimes than would be accomplished by only concentrating on what to do with offenders after a crime has occurred. To prevent child victimization, H.F. 619 policy provisions rely largely on incapacitation and future deterrent effects of increased penalties, more restrictive supervision practices and greater public awareness of the risk presented by a segment of Iowa’s known sex offenders. For some offenders, these policies will no doubt prevent future sex crimes against children, and the Task Force has begun long-term studies to look for the desired results and for ways to improve such results through better supervision tools and more effective offender treatment. Unfortunately, much of the effects from the new policies may primarily influence persons who have already committed sex offenses against minors and who have already been caught doing so. Task Force members discussed the need for a range of preventive efforts and a need to think about sex crimes against children from other than just a “reaction- to-the-offender” perspective. While this topic is not addressed in the report that follows, it was suggested that some of the Task Force’s discussions could be briefly shared through these opening comments. Along with incapacitation and deterrence, comprehensive approaches to the prevention of child-victim sex crimes would also involve making sure parents have the tools they need to detect signs of adults with sex behavior problems, to help teach their children about warning signs and to find the support they need for healthy parenting. School, faithbased and other community organizations might benefit from stronger supports and better tools they can use to more effectively promote positive youth development and the learning of respect for others, respect for boundaries and healthy relationships. All of us who have children, or who live in communities where there are children, need to understand the limitations of our justice system and the importance of our own ability to play a role in preventing sexual abuse and protecting children from sex offenders, which are often the child’s own family members. Over 1,000 incidences of child sexual abuse are confirmed or founded each year in Iowa, and most such acts take place in the child’s home or the residence of the caretaker of the child. Efforts to prevent child sexual abuse and to provide for early interventions with children and families at risk could be strategically examined and strengthened. The Sex Offender Treatment and Supervision Task Force was established to provide assistance to the General Assembly. It will respond to legislative direction for adjusting its future plans as laid out in this report. Its plans could be adjusted to broaden or narrow its scope or to assign different priority levels of effort to its current areas of study. Also, further Task Force considerations of the recommendations it has already submitted could be called for. In the meantime, it is hoped that the information and recommendations submitted through this report prove helpful.

Imagerie des bronchectasies : valeur diagnostique, fonctionnelle et pronostique.

Messages à retenir: La scanographie hélicoïdale à collimation fine sur l'ensemble du thorax est l'examen de référence pour le diagnostic et l'évaluation de la distributiontopographique et de l'étendue des bronchectasies.Les reformations multiplanaires et les techniques de projection d'intensité maximum et minimum améliorent les performances diagnostiques et permettent unemeilleure détection des lésions associées des petites voies aériennes (bronchiolite infectieuse, bronchiolite oblitérative).Chez les patients atteints de bronchectasies, le degré d'épaississement pariétal bronchique ainsi que l'étendue des zones hypodenses hypoperfusées traduisantdes lésions d'obstruction bronchiolaire sont parfaitement corrélés à la sévérité du retentissement fonctionnel de la maladie .La scanographie est peu fiable pour reconnaître le diagnostic étiologique des bronchectasies. Résumé: La scanographie hélicoïdale multidétecteur à collimation fine sur l'ensemble du thorax au cours d'une seule et même apnée inspiratoire est supérieure auxexamens en coupes fines incrémentales haute résolution avec un intervalle de coupes de 10 mm, pour le diagnostic et l'évaluation de l'étendue desbronchectasies. L'usage des reformations multiplanaires améliore la détection des bronchectasies, augmente la reproductibilité des radiologues pour lediagnostic des bronchectasies ainsi que leur niveau de confiance pour apprécier la distribution lésionnelle . L'examen scanographique évalue le nombre et ladistribution des impactions mucoïdes dans des bronches dilatées et le retentissement de l'atteinte bronchique sur les voies aériennes distales et le parenchymepulmonaire. La recherche d'atteinte associée des petites voies aériennes est systématique : détection des foyers de bronchiolite infectieuse et évaluation de l'étendue des zones hypodenses, hypoperfusées, avec piégeage, qui reflètent les lésions de bronchiolite oblitérative . Ces dernières sont corrélées au degré desévérité de l'obstruction fonctionnelle. La scanographie reste peu fiable pour le diagnostic étiologique des bronchectasies. Inversement, certains mécanismessont facilement identifiés, tels que les bronchectasies post-obstructives et les bronchectasies par traction des fibroses pulmonaires .

Algunas Consideraciones sobre las primeras relaciones griegas con Egipto

Hace ya tiempo que se tiene noticia, por las fuentes egipcias, de las relaciones que existían entre Egipto y el mundo egeo en el segundo milenio. Por las arqueológicas se sabe qué artículos manufacturados de procedencia cretense llegaban al país del Nilo, como mínimo, ya en el Imperio Medio; por los textos egipcios sabemos que había relaciones pacíficas, aunque basadas en la superioridad egipcia, entre ambos países, particularmente importantes, por ejemplo, en el reinado de Thutmés III; estas relaciones acabaron por convertirse en hostiles a fines del Imperio Nuevo, cuando los «Akauas» (¿Achaiói?), junto a otros múltiples pueblos, los «Pueblos del Mar», emigraron de sus países de origen y atacaron Egipto por tierra y por mar, enfrentándose a las fuerzas de Mineptah (h. 1230) y de Ramsés III (h. 1194, 1191 y 1188), por quien fueron definitivamente derrotados.

Inscripción latina del turó de Sant Grau (Caldes de Malavella, Gerona)

La población de Cal des de Malavella está situada en plena depresión de La Selva, en la comarca del mismo nombre, en un valle cerrado por pequeñas lomas que separan la cuenca del Ter de la del río :Tordera. La riera de Caldes riega el término municipal y es afluente de este último. Dentro del casco urbano existen dos yacimientos conocidos de antiguo: El Puig de los Animes y El Turó de Sant Grau, ambos famosos por tener. diversos manantiales de aguas termales. Los restos arqueológicos fueron puestos al decubierto a fines del· siglo pasado y a principios de este siglo con el fin de proceder a la explotación industrial de los manantiales, no se han practicado excavaciones metódicas en ellos. Estos manantiales de aguas termales, que brotan a distintas temperaturas, fueron utilizados y venerados por los hombres prehistóricos mucho antes de la llegada de los romanos a la Península. Las· zonas donde existían este tipo de fuentes eran lugares sagrados y mágicos, consagrados a alguna divinidad dispensadora de la fecundidad y de la salud, estos lugares atraían a los enfermos y a los devotos. El baño era el tratamiento más generalizado, pero también existían otras formas de entrar en contacto con el agua milagrosa: abluciones, aplicación local, inmersión, absorción en pequeñas dosis.

Les ceràmiques gregues, sobretot atiques, s' estudien des del punt de vista tipologic i decoratiu, pero també atenent a les categories funcionals i a la posició d'aquests materials dins el conjunt de cerarruques fines i dins del conjunt de ceramiques d'importació. Es condou l'existencia d'una facies original, pero vinculada, per diferents raons, amb la de la Iberia centre-meridional i amb la de l'area hel·lenitzant del golf del Lleó.

Pese a que ya en algunos trabajos de fines del siglo XIX se cita la existencia de materiales arqueológicos en el Puig de Sant Andreu (Ullastret), y al hecho de que a instancia del Institut d'Estudis Catalans el enclave fuese incluido en el Registre del Patrimoni Historie, Artístie i Arqueologie de Catalunya l'any 1936 (DOGC de 08/07/1936), no fue hasta 1947 en que Miquel Oliva, animado por el Dr. Lluís Pericot, Comisario Provincial de Excavaciones en Gerona, inició las intervenciones sistemáticas en el yacimiento, realizando una labor ininterrumpida hasta su fallecimiento en 1974.

Elemental and isotopic zoning in natural alpine quartz

THESIS ABSTRACT : Stable isotope geochemistry is used to help resolve a large number of geological questions. In order to do this, it is essential to understand the different mechanisms that govern isotopic fractionation processes between different phases and to identify the conditions required to reach equilibrium fractionation. However, at low temperatures, these processes are poorly constrained and many factors can induce differential partitioning of the isotopes between sectors of a mineral species and the fluid during mineral growth. This can result in so-called 'sector zoning' of a mineral species. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the occurrence of sector zoning of the oxygen isotopes and trace elements in natural α-quartz crystals and to identify the reasons for such zoning. The implications for the fluid-mineral interactions are studied in the context of the Alpine metamorphism. The approach chosen has focused on examining the crystal structure, cathodoluminescence appearance (CL), and on relating elemental (e.g. Li, Na, Al, P, K, Ca, Ge, Ti, Fe) to stable oxygen isotope compositions between and along different growth sectors. Low temperature quartz samples were selected from Alpine veins in different localities, where growth conditions have already been well constrained. The mineralogy as well as the isotopic compositions of the host rocks were also investigated, in order to interpret the variations obtained between the different growth stages in the framework of fluid-rock interaction during Alpine metamorphism. Depending on the growth conditions, most of the studied quartz is strongly zoned in CL, and it reveals corresponding zonations in the trace element content (e.g. growth zoning). Aluminium, substituting for Si in the lattice, was found in concentrations up to 1000's ppma, and its distribution is strongly related to Li and H and to a lesser extent, to Ge. Elemental sector zoning is evident from the distribution of these three elements since they exhibit differences in their respective concentrations between faces for distinct growth zones, with prismatic faces having the lowest Al contents. Quartz from veins in magmatic rocks, for example, tend to have lower Al concentrations and similar concentrations of Li and Ti suggesting also a contribution of these elements from the host rock. The relationship between Al and Li is still correlated. Only Alpine crystals grown at higher temperatures (~400°C) without any CL zoning feature are free of these impurities and do not show such zoning characteristics. Differences in the δ18O values were measured between different faces principally in the AIenriched growth zones or stages. These results were confirmed by the means of two different methods (in situ/non in situ). However, it was determined that the Al concentrations do not affect significantly oxygen isotope fractionations at 300°C. The results altogether suggest that the presence of sector zoning in quartz crystals is real, but not universal, and henceforth should be taken into consideration for any use of these systems. The occurrence of disequilibrium partitioning has been enhanced and is possibly related to kinetic processes as well as structural effects that do not affect similarly trace element incorporation and isotopic fractionation. In situ measurements also revealed fine scale δ18O zonations along growth paths that are useful to constrain fluid-rock interactions during Alpine metamorphism. Variations in the δ18O values present along growth vectors indicate changes in the fluid composition and origin. Association with oxygen isotope composition of the host rock allows for the deduction of interactions between rocks, veins and consequently fluids, as well as fluid regimes. RESUME DE LA THESE : A basses températures, (i.e. <400°C) les différents mécanismes qui régissent le fractionnement isotopique ainsi que les conditions nécessaires pour établir un état d'équilibre sont peu connus et nombre de paramètres peuvent entraîner un partitionnement chimique différentiel entre différents secteurs d'un minéral et le fluide en contact. Ainsi, ce travail de thèse a pour but d'évaluer la possible présence de zonages sectoriels en isotopes de l'oxygène mais aussi en éléments traces dans des cristaux naturels de quartz-α de basses températures, ainsi que les raisons d'un tel phénomène et enfin ses implications sur les interactions fluide-roche, principalement dans le cadre du métamorphisme Alpin. La structure et l'apparence en cathodoluminescence (CL) des échantillons ont été caractérisées avant de retracer en détail les compositions en élément traces (Li, Na, Al, P, K, Ca, Ge, Ti, Fe) et en isotopes de l'oxygène, le long et entre différents secteurs. Les échantillons de quartz sélectionnés proviennent majoritairement de veines Alpine de différentes localités, où les conditions de croissance ont été déjà bien caractérisées. Les compositions minéralogiques et isotopiques de la roche encaissante ont aussi été examinées, pour contraindre les variations obtenues dans un contexte Alpin. Selon leurs conditions de croissance, la plupart des cristaux étudiés sont fortement zonés, ce qui est souligné par un zonage des concentrations en éléments traces (e.g. zonage de croissance). L'Aluminium, qui peut se substituer à la Silice dans le réseau cristallin, a été retrouvé jusqu'en très grandes concentrations dans certaines zones (plusieurs milliers de ppma). De plus, la distribution en Al est fortement liée à celles de Li et H, ainsi que dans une moindre mesure à Ge. La présence de zonage sectoriel est évidente au niveau de ces éléments qui montrent de larges différences de concentrations entre différentes faces pour une même zone de croissance, avec les concentrations les plus basses retrouvées dans les faces prismatiques. Les quartz de veines situées dans des roches magmatiques par exemple possèdent des concentrations en Li et Ti de même ordre de grandeur, confirmant le rôle de la composition de la roche encaissante. La relation Li/Al est toujours fortement présente, mais ce rapport est fonction de la face mesurée. Seuls les cristaux Alpins de plus hautes températures (400°C) ne possédant pas de zones en CL ne présentent aucune de ces caractéristiques. Des différences dans les valeurs de δ18O de zones identiques enrichies en Al ont clairement été mesurées entre les différentes faces r, z, et m, mais aussi au sein d'une même seule zone, indiquant que le fractionnement a probablement eu lieu en déséquilibre. Il a été déterminé que la présence d'Al dans ces teneurs n'avait qu'un faible effet sur le fractionnement isotopique de l'oxygène. L'utilisation de deux méthodes différentes a permis d'obtenir des résultats in situ et non in situ concordants. La comparaison des résultats obtenus permet de démontrer que le zonage sectoriel est bien présent dans certains cristaux de quartz, et dépend des conditions de formation. La présence d'un partitionnement différentiel des éléments traces peut être due à des effets cinétiques aussi bien que structuraux, alors que le zonage sectoriel des isotopes de l'oxygène aurait d'autres origines. Il est alors évident que la possibilité de zonage sectoriel doit être désormais pris en considération avant toute interprétations de données isotopiques de cristaux zonés. Les mesures in situ ont de plus permis de distinguer de fines variations des valeurs δ18O au cours de la croissance, qui peuvent aider à retracer la circulations des fluides dans les Alpes durant cette période. En association avec les compositions des roches encaissantes, ii est possible de déduire les interactions entre roches, veines, et par conséquent fluides, au cours de différentes étapes. RESUME GRAND PUBLIC : La géochimie des isotopes stables a pris beaucoup d'importance depuis ces dernières années pour aider à résoudre nombre de questions géologiques, en se basant sur les caractéristiques du fractionnement isotopiques pour différents systèmes. Il est donc nécessaire d'avoir une connaissance approfondie des mécanismes qui s'appliquent au fractionnement isotopique entre les minéraux et les fluides à partir desquels ils se forment. Ces mécanismes ont été bien approchés par différents types de calibrations pour des systèmes à hautes températures, cependant cela n'est pas aussi évident pour les systèmes à des températures inférieures à 400-500°C. Ce travail de thèse a pour but d'aider à la description et la compréhension des phénomènes qui peuvent affecter le fractionnement isotopique à basses températures, ainsi que leurs implications, à partir de l'étude de cristaux de quartz. Le choix des échantillons s'est porté sur des cristaux naturels formés à des températures inférieures ou égales à 400°C, provenant majoritairement de fissures hydrothermales Alpines dont les conditions de formation ont déjà été déterminées. L'étude des cristaux Alpin permet de plus de replacer les résultats obtenus dans le contexte du métamorphisme Alpin au cours du Miocène (21-13 Ma). Après examen de la structure et de la morphologie des cristaux, et leur caractérisation par cathodoluminescence (CL), des analyses chimiques détaillées sur les éléments en traces pouvant entrer dans le réseau cristallin du quartz comme impuretés (i.e. Li, Na, Al, P, K, Ca, Ge, Ti), et des isotopes stables de l'oxygène, ont été menées. En fonction des conditions de croissance, la plupart des cristaux présentent des zonations, qui peuvent être facilement reliées à la distribution des éléments traces analysés par microsonde électronique, sonde ionique (SIMS) et LA-ICPMS. De fortes concentrations d'Aluminium (plusieurs milliers de parties par million atomique) ont pu être observées dans les zones les plus externes des cristaux. De plus, les concentrations en Al et en Li sont toujours corrélées; la présence d'Hydrogène déduite à partir d'analyses par FTIR suit cette même tendance. Les différentes faces des cristaux présentent des concentrations distinctes d'Al, Li et H pour des mêmes zones de croissance, avec par exemple les concentrations les plus faibles dans les zones des faces prismatiques. Cela implique la présence d'un zonage sectoriel, qui a déjà été observé principalement dans des carbonates mais jamais décrit auparavant pour des quartz. Seuls les cristaux alpins homogènes en CL dont la croissance s'est faite à plus haute température (400°C) ne présentent aucune de ces caractéristiques. Par analogie avec le zonage sectoriel en Al, élément qui se substitue au Si dans le réseau cristallin du quartz, il est possible de penser qu'un zonage sectoriel pourrait aussi s'appliquer aux isotopes de l'oxygène. Des précédentes études avaient en effet émis cette hypothèse. Nos résultats ont été obtenus à partir d'analyses à la fois in- situ par SIMS, et par extraction assistée par laser-CO2 sur des parties de quartz soigneusement séparées, et sont en accord entre les deux méthodes. Un zonage sectoriel est en effet bien présent pour les cristaux alpins, mais principalement au niveau des zones très riches en Aluminium. Cependant, il a été déterminé que la présence d'Al dans ces teneurs avait un effet plus que minimal sur le fractionnement isotopique de l'oxygène. Des différences importantes ont été observées entre les faces r & z mais aussi au sein d'une même et seule zone, indiquant que le fractionnement a pu avoir lieu en déséquilibre, ce qui est aussi visible au niveau des valeurs totalement opposées entre faces pour la dernière phase de croissance de certains cristaux. Ainsi l'association de ces résultats laisse suggérer que la présence d'un zonage sectoriel peut être liée à différents paramètres tels que le taux de croissance ou la structure de surface du cristal, mais qui n'affectent pas de la même façon l'incorporation des éléments traces et le fractionnement isotopique. La possibilité d'un zonage sectoriel est importante à prendre en compte lors de toute interprétation de données isotopiques. Les analyses des isotopes de l'oxygène effectuées par SIMS ont aussi permis de distinguer des variations importantes à petite échelle au cours de la croissance. Des mesures faites par laser CO2 sur certaines roches encaissantes, ont permis distinguer plusieurs étapes dans la croissance des minéraux et de déduire le rôle de l'encaissant et le type de fluide. En association avec de précédentes études, il a été ainsi possible de mieux contraindre la formation de ces cristaux dans le contexte alpin et la circulation de fluide au cours du métamorphisme alpin durant le Miocène.

La bioprospección como un mecanismo de cooperación internacional para fortalecimiento de capacidades en ciencia y tecnología en Colombia

La bioprospección, definida como la exploración de la biodiversidad para fines comerciales, se ha convertido recientemente en una potencial estrategia mediante la cual los países ricos en biodiversidad pueden aumentar sus capacidades endógenas para realizar actividades de CyT, especialmente mediante la interacción con otros países de mayor desarrollo tecnológico. Es así, como este trabajo se concentra en analizar la mecánica de cooperación internacional de un país considerado megadiverso, Colombia, a través del análisis de coautoría de 342 artículos publicados en revistas indexadas en las redes ISI y SCOPUS, información que se complementa mediante entrevistas con 12 líderes de grupos colombianos. Los resultados evidencian que España es el país con mayor colaboración con Colombia; que la cooperación con países de América se sitúa en un tercer plano y ésta se intensifica cuando hay de por medio un país europeo; la escasa cooperación entre grupos colombianos origina una agenda de investigación dispersa y en temas muy variados sin orientación y prioridades estratégicas.

El asombro como principio del libre saber del ser

En diálogo con la tradición, queremos volver nuestra atención hacia el principio queposibilita la vida teórica y, por consiguiente, la filosofía: el asombro. Tres momentos caracterizan esta pasión originaria: es principio, en tanto que sostiene y domina cada paso de laactividad teórica; ... de un saber libre, libre de fines utilitarios y así libre para entregarse al ente; ... del ser; como lo más digno de asombro y la fuente perenne de todo acto teórico. Estos tres momentos que se entrelazan mutuamente articulan este trabajo en sus tres partes.

L'enorme afirmació sens límits. Nietzsche en Maragall

En este artículo se examina una de las primeras y principales adaptaciones del pensamiento de Nietzsche en España, donde no tardaron en publicarse muchas de sus obras. Se admite generalmenteque el poeta y escritor catalán Joan Maragall, perteneciente al Modernismo de fines del siglo XIX, se inspiró en algunas ideasentresacadas del filósofo de la "voluntad de poder". Mediante el cotejo de conceptos y términos, se concluye ahora que la deudade este autor con Así habló Zaratustra es prácticamente literal. El texto que sigue muestra, pues, en qué forma y grado el nietzscheanismotoma cuerpo en la literatura de Maragall y de qué modo influye en su ideario personal.

Ammonium Phosphate/Fly Ash Road Base Construction, HR-294, 1993

The objective of this research project was to evaluate the construction and service performance of ammonium phosphate/fly ash (APFA) treated base courses of crushed fines and/or unprocessed sand. Specific test results related to construction of the test sections were included in the 1987 construction report by Iowa State University. The performance of the experimental sections is dealt with in this final report. This 1986 project demonstrated that in all cases the control sections utilizing a Type B base experienced dramatically less cracking in the surface than the APFA treated base sections. The cost per mix and subsequent surface maintenance costs for the APFA base sections, especially those having a substantial amount of limestone, were higher than the Type B base control sections. This type of construction may prove to be economical only when petroleum product costs escalate.

Performance of Randomly Oriented, Fiber-Reinforced Roadway Soils, HR-211, 1982

Several primary techniques have been developed through which soil aggregate road material properties may be improved. Such techniques basically involve a mechanism of creating a continuous matrix system of soil and/or aggregate particles, interlocked through the use of some additive such as portland cement, lime, or bituminous products. Details by which soils are stabilized vary greatly, but they are dependent on the type of stabilizing agent and nature of the soil, though the overall approach to stabilization has the common feature that improvement is achieved by some mechanism(s) forcing individual particles to adhere to one another. This process creates a more rigid material, most often capable of resisting the influx of water during freezing, loss of strength due to high moisture content and particle dispersion during thawing, and loss of strength due to migration of fines and/or water by capillarity and pumping. The study reported herein, took a new and relatively different approach to strengthening of soils, i.e., improvement of roadway soils and/or soil-aggregate materials by structural reinforcement with randomly oriented fibers. The purpose of the study was to conduct a laboratory and field investigation into the potential of improving (a) soil-aggregate surfaced and subgrade materials, including those that are frost-prone and/or highly moisture susceptible, and (b) localized base course materials, by uniting such materials through fibrous reinforcement. The envisioned objective of the project was the development of a simple construction technique(s) that could be (a) applied on a selective basis to specific areas having a history of poor performance, or (b) used for improvement of potential base materials prior to surfacing. Little background information on such purpose and objective was available. Though the envisioned process had similarities to fibrous reinforced concrete, and to fibrous reinforced resin composites, the process was devoid of a cementitious binder matrix and thus highly dependent on the cohesive and frictional interlocking processes of a soil and/or aggregate with the fibrous reinforcement; a condition not unlike the introduction of reinforcing bars into a concrete sand/aggregate mixture without benefit of portland cement. Thus the study was also directed to answering some fundamental questions: (1) would the technique work; (2) what type or types of fibers are effective; (3) are workable fibers commercially available; and (4) can such fibers be effectively incorporated with conventional construction equipment, and employed in practical field applications? The approach to obtaining answers to these questions, was guided by the philosophy that an understanding of basic fundamentals was essential to developing a body of engineering knowledge, that would serve as the basis for eventual development of design procedures with fibrous products for the applications previously noted.
