They are mini-forts behind concrete walls, with many of the trappings of western life, including alcohol.
Based on the results obtained from mix designs it was recommended that 2% lime be added to a mix with 100% ash (at optimum moisture content), and that 1% lime be used when 75% ash is combined with 25% recycled concrete-the recycled concrete being minus 12.5 mm material.
THOUGH the Japantown area of San Francisco has remained largely static since the 1970s — stretches of concrete, blocky mini-malls and lots of sushi restaurants — a new wave of Japanese popular culture, from monster movies to Lolita dresses, has hit the area, thanks to the recent arrival of New People, a five-level, glass-walled, 20,000-square-foot shrine to all things Japanese.
For both 100% ash and the combination of 75% ash and 25% recycled concrete (minus 12.5 mm material) a design foamed asphalt content of 4.5% was recommended.
b The 95% confidence intervals of the difference scores (concrete minus abstract) for ratings on the nine dependent measures.
As shown in Fig. 2b, the difference scores (concrete minus abstract) were significant in the predicted direction for eight of the nine measures (p < 0.05, two-tailed; cognitive factors reached marginal significance in the predicted direction, p < 0.10).
"Biological Causes" in (a) are the averaged ratings of the first three dependent measures listed in (b), and "Psychological (Sets 1 & 2) Causes" are the averaged ratings of the last six dependent measures listed in (b). Figure 1b shows the 95% confidence intervals of the difference scores (concrete minus abstract) for each of the nine component measures.
Options are multiple, dictated by levels of alarm and income: Spend $25,000 to $50,000 or more (potentially much more) on a steel and reinforced-concrete mini-bunker, complete with high-tech communication and ventilation systems, backup generator, gas masks, "moon suits," beds and enough food and drugs to last for months.
That was the birth of Benidorm as we know it 60 years later – concrete apartment towers, megahotels, mini golf courses, weird amusement parks, pimped out cars and 2-for-1 booze offers in clubs.
Inside, imposing concrete walls shelter those seeds at minus-18 degrees Celsius (minus-0.4 degrees Fahrenheit).
