Sommario/riassunto

Thirteen peer-reviewed papers provide the latest international and state agency research on the use of performance tests for HMA mixture



design and field control.  The papers are arranged in four groups designed to aid the reader in locating papers of interest and to compare and contrast the range of work and opinions presented:  Mixture Simulative Performance Tests-relates to the practical use of some simulative loaded-wheel testers used in identifying rut-prone HMA mixtures.  Mechanistic Test for Quality Control-includes papers in that the mechanistic tests were used in field Quality Control of HMA mixtures.  Mechanistic Tests for Mixture Design-contains several papers relating to the need for mechanistic tests in HMA mixture design.  Application of New Mechanistic Test Methods in HMA Mixture Performance Evaluation-focuses on the use of newly developed mechanistic test methods, which have potentials to be used in HMA mixture performance evaluation.

Sommario/riassunto

This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of macroeconomic relationships and explains the most important macroeconomic variables in an easy-to-understand manner. The reader is introduced to important macroeconomic variables such as inflation and aggregate demand in chapters that build on one another. They learn, among other things, how economic crises arise or the role and functioning of money, capital and goods markets. The aim is to provide the reader with economic knowledge that can be applied in business practice. The economics material has been deliberately selected so that business studies content is usefully supplemented. However, detailed explanations and both application-oriented and practice-related examples and exercises make it easy for non-economists to understand the complex economic topics. Well-founded knowledge presented in an immediately comprehensible way! The content National accounts Neoclassical macro model Inflation The Monetary Policy of the European Central Bank The Keynesian Theory Business cycle theories International Financial Markets The author Prof. Dr Christian A. Conrad teaches economics and business ethics at the Saarland University of Applied Sciences. He was previously a senior key account manager in the national and international corporate client business of a major German bank.
