Beeching: 50 Years On

In 1963 Dr Beeching’s infamous report signalled the end for over 15,000 miles of track, a third of Britain’s stations, and for 70,000 jobs, as well as making irrevocable changes to the way of life of many consumers. Much misery was caused and Beeching’s name was muddied, but in hindsight the report probably did more than any other single factor to preserve the nation’s railway heritage. Without the Beeching cuts, much of the locomotives, stock, tracks, signals and signs would have crumbled, been forgotten or rotted. However, the gentle railway gradients lend themselves perfectly to walkways and cycle paths; buildings have been refurbished; memorabilia now commands prices at auction which would astonish those who painted the metal. And of course, the heritage lines continue to draw many thousands of visitors each year. After the initial shock of the cuts, this fresh appraisal considers these benefits and more, which may not have come about without the Beeching Report.

Beef, Bible and bullets: Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro

Backed by Brazil’s wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain’s brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro’s tens of millions of social media followers.Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil’s rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called ‘Trump of the Tropics’ has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements.Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.

Beeinflussung und Verminderung der Korrosion von Eisen, Kupfer, Zink in industriellen Brauchwässern (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #1510)

Die Korrosion metallischer Werkstoffe in Wasser bei höheren Drücken und Temperaturen ist schon von mehreren Autoren ausgiebig behandelt und geklärt worden. Derartige Untersuchungen sind relativ unkompliziert, da unter diesen Bedingungen im allgemeinen das Wasser weder Salze noch Sauerstoff enthält und somit die Korrosionserscheinungen stark reduziert werden. Aus diesem Grund sind hier sogar Vorausberechnungen der zu erwartenden Korrosion auf thermo­ dynamischer Basis möglich. Systematische Untersuchungen über die Korrosion dieser Werkstoffe durch Was­ ser in einem Bereich von 0 bis 100° C und bei niederem Druck sind dagegen nicht im gleichen Umfang bekannt geworden. Der Grund liegt offenbar in der Tat­ sache, daß einerseits die Wässer in diesem Bereich noch Sau~rstoff und ihre natür­ lichen Salze enthalten und andererseits unter diesen Bedingungen irreversible Vorgänge auftreten, die mit festen Ausscheidungen verbunden sind. Thermo­ dynamische Voraussagen über die zu erwartende Korrosion sind daher fast un­ möglich. Man ist deshalb auf praktische Korrosionsuntersuchungen angewiesen. Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen sind ein Beitrag zur Erweiterung der Kennt­ nisse speziell über die Korrosion von Eisen, Kupfer und Zink durch Wasser im Temperaturbereich von 0 bis 100°C bei niedrigem Druck. Als korrodierende Wässer wurden hierbei Brauchwässer aus dem industriellen Bereich eingesetzt, dazu einige Sonderwässer aus Bergbaubetrieben. Die Ergebnisse der Unter­ suchungen sind am Schluß des Berichtes in kurzer Form zusammengefaßt dar­ gestellt worden. Besonderer Dank sei der BERGWERKSGESELLSCHAFT HIBERNIA ausgesprochen, die diese Untersuchungen ermöglicht und zur Veröffentlichung freigegeben hat. Ebenso sei dem LANDESAMT FÜR FORSCHUNG von Nordrhein-Westfalen und dem VEREIN DEUTSCHER INGENIEURE für die Unterstützung der Arbeit sehr gedankt.
