International state of the art Sample Clauses

International state of the art. Pavements In a 1977 report, OECD was already calling attention on the fact that increasing needs of materials for construction have induced in many places a shortage of local resources traditionally used for construction (annual aggregate consumption per inhabitant is between 6 and 8 tons). In this context, recycling (considered here irrespective of whether the material is reused for the same or a different application) of road construction and industrial by-products in road pavements has evident benefits for sustainable development, provided that their use does not alter the performance of the road infrastructure (functional, safety and environmental requirements). Since then, several European countries have started to implement different policies in line with the 1993 European Council resolution in favour of the concept of management and treatment of products over their life cycle. However, the stages of implementation and the approaches are fairly different. Research programs such as ALTMAT, COURAGE and POLMIT or COST 337 have permitted progress to be made in the identification of the hazards associated with the use in road construction of the main by-products found in the European Union. They also have highlighted the shortcomings of traditional approaches for specification of road material characteristics. Groups of experts in CEN technical committees (in particular here TC 227, 19 and 154) have been working over the past 10 years to produce by 2003 a set of harmonised standards as a response to the Mandate 124 on road construction products. However, due to the large differences in approaches and experiences existing between the different European countries, this first generation of product standards will be largely based on a recipe type of approach and empirical tests instead of being performance-related. From this situation and in order to achieve the best use of the different kinds of materials for pavement construction, different actions need to be pursued:

  • General Standards An Assistant Professor will be competent to teach in a particular field, will be current in the literature of that field, and will seek to meet student needs in both the classroom and in non-classroom environments. However, an Assistant may be a junior member of the academic community, with little professional and/or teaching experience. Furthermore, an Assistant may have little experience in curriculum development, committee work, governance, professional and/or community service, etc. In short, an Assistant Professor generally will be new to tenure-track college teaching. For eligibility for promotion from Assistant to Associate Professor, the candidate must have served a minimum of four (4) years at the rank of Assistant Professor, and must show evidence that he/she has grown professionally and consistently has sought to meet student needs, in both the classroom and in non-classroom environments. A successful candidate for the rank of Associate Professor will have remained current in the field, and will have improved his/her teaching in some demonstrable way. He/she also will have demonstrated professional growth in one or more of the following ways: completion of additional appropriate course work (if applicable), attendance at professional conferences, service on campus and/or District committees, professional and/or community service, or, the production of some creative work. Evidence of professional growth will be drawn from a careful analysis of student evaluations and peer evaluations over a period of time, and from a critical reading of materials submitted by the candidate. For promotion from Associate to Professor, the candidate must have served a minimum of four (4) years at the rank of Associate Professor, and must show evidence that he/she has grown professionally to a point where he/she has mastered both a particular field of knowledge and the teaching of that knowledge. A successful candidate must show evidence that he/she consistently has sought to meet student needs, in both the classroom and non-classroom environments. A Professor should be a senior member of the faculty, one who has such substantial experience, knowledge, and skill that he/she could mentor junior faculty in his/her area of expertise. A Professor will have demonstrated all the same kinds of achievements and attributes necessary for promotion to the Associate Professor rank, but in addition will demonstrate that he/she is a leader in some appropriate sense. Evidence of professional growth and leadership will be drawn from a careful analysis of student evaluations and peer evaluations over a period of time, and from a critical reading of materials submitted by the candidate.
