Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

We live in a detached house in the old part of the city. It has three floors and a basement, which I use as a study. It’s got a small front garden and a lovely view over the bay. Many people dream of buying a cottage in the country where they can escape to at weekends. Others even hope to own a villa in a beautiful location on the coast. Most people here, however, live in flats. There are a lot of students living here in rented rooms and bed-sits.

Mixing small wires with enlarged ends into concrete increases the material’s strength and hardness, according to research performed at the National laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Researchers found that when bone-shaped wires 25 mm long were added in amounts equal to just 1 percent of the concrete’s volume, the strength increased by as much as 84 percent. The concrete was also 93 times harder.
Straight steel wires have been used to reinforce concrete for several decades. But wires of this kind bond only weakly with the concrete at their ends. Besides, it turned out that straight wires can also snap under high stress without much bending or stretching. In stress tests concrete containing the wires with bulbous ends became even stronger after the first cracks appeared as the load was transferred to the wires.

The plant where high-density polyethylene pipe is being manufactured needed repairs to its pipe storage area. The repairs became necessary because the stone layer did not shed water and it caused cracks. The cracking of storage pavement area made it necessary to stabilize the site.
So it became necessary for engineers to look for a way that would be economical and would not require shutting down the operating area of the plant. After testing a number of alternatives, it was decided to use polypropylene fibres for the purpose. It was found out that when being mixed with soil the fibres produce the necessary stability. The way the engineers proposed turned out to be economical and quite successful.
