The Influence of Spirituality on the Education of Incarcerated Individuals: Reflections on the Exceptional Experience of Police-Free Prisons in Brazil by Sergio Grossi, Alessandra Augelli

Cracks beyond the limits: Are they a problem in XS2? by Polder Rob, Elsener Bernhard

“…In the submerged parts, oxygen diffusion through sea water inside the cracks is so slow that corrosion was insignificant over the required 100-year service life; costly injection was not needed. It should be noted that significant corrosion is possible if macro-cells can form, e.g. in hollow-leg structures where cathodic oxygen reduction on the aerated inside may support corrosion in cracks on the outside. …”
