Les universités commencent à utiliser la téléformation en ligne pour augmenter leur effectif étudiant sans avoir à disposer d'autres installations. Les étudiants effectuent habituellement un court séjour sur le campus au début et à la fin de leurs études. Entre les deux, ils suivent la majorité de leurs cours via Internet. S'ils étaient augmentés de façon substantielle, les programmes d'enseignement à distance réduiraient le besoin de professeurs à temps plein et augmenteraient le besoin de professeurs à temps partiel ou à contrat et de chargés de cours occasionnels, qui constituent une main-d'œuvre plus souple. 2, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9formation%20en%20ligne

Distance is still an important source of trade costs and continues to have an irrevocable impact on the patterns of international trade... various factors... can explain the importance of geographical proximity for bilateral trade. First, transport costs and costs of timeliness increase with distance. Moreover, psychic distance increases as well. Because of cultural unfamiliarity and information costs, traders have less knowledge of distant markets. 3, record 6, English, - distance%20effect

Fiber- and Fabric-Reinforced Concrete. Historically fibers have been used to reinforce many different types of building materials. Some classic uses are straw in bricks, animal hair in plaster, and asbestos in cement. More recently, however, fiber-reinforced concrete has concentrated on steel, glass, and plastic fibers being placed in mortars and concretes to improve their material characteristics .... 1, record 17, English, - fabric%2Dreinforced%20concrete

In another case, rather than use separated discrete sized fibers for reinforcement, duPont has experimented with their nonwoven fabric Typar as a reinforcement material for concrete. Placing a sheet of fabric one-third of the distance up from the bottom of a 12 by 12 by 3/4 inch thick concrete tile, impact strengths were measured against control tiles. It was found that 5 foot-pounds were required to break the unreinforced section, while 20 foot-pounds were required for 2 once per square yard Typar-reinforced tiles.... 1, record 17, English, - fabric%2Dreinforced%20concrete
