Propose post processing methods for the edge finite element (FE) method on a tetrahedral mesh. They make it possible to deduce vector values on the vertices from scalar values defined on the edges of the tetrahedra.

The new proposed techniques are based on a least squares formulation leading to a sparse matrix system to be solved. They are compared in terms of accuracy and CPU time on a FEs formulation for open boundary – frequency domain problems.

A significant improvement of vector values accuracy on the vertices of the tetrahedra is obtained compared to a classical approach with a very small additional computation time.

This work presents techniques: to obtain the values at the initial nodes of the mesh and not inside the tetrahedra; and to take into account the discontinuity to the interface between two media of different electromagnetic properties.

The following list is a first attempt to catalogue and describe systematically the British Museum's extensive holdings of early opera librettos and related plays. The great importance of these unpretentious booklets as supplementary and, more often than not, even primary sources for the history and bibliography of dramatic music, besides or instead of the scores, was already clearly recognized in the eighteenth century by Dr. Burney and other scholars. But it is only since 1914, the year in which O. G. T. Sonneck's Library of Congress Catalogue of opera librettos printed before 1800 appeared, that their documentary value could to any greater extent be put to general use in international musicological research. A similar bibliography of the British Museum librettos, while naturally duplicating many Washington entries, would produce a great number of additional tides, not a few of them otherwise unrecorded; it would provide the musical scholar with the key to a collection unequalled elsewhere in Europe, which owing to the peculiar nature of the material is not easily accessible by means of the General Catalogue.

La décision de la Ville de Montreux de célébrer, au milieu de ce siècle, le 100e anniversaire de son tourisme, a surpris certains et provoqué ailleurs quelques remarques.

Presents over sixty abstracts summarising the 1999 Employment Research Unit annual conference held at the University of Cardiff. Explores the multiple impacts of globalization on work and employment in contemporary organizations. Covers the human resource management implications of organizational responses to globalization. Examines the theoretical, methodological, empirical and comparative issues pertaining to competitiveness and the management of human resources, the impact of organisational strategies and international production on the workplace, the organization of labour markets, human resource development, cultural change in organisations, trade union responses, and trans‐national corporations. Cites many case studies showing how globalization has brought a lot of opportunities together with much change both to the employee and the employer. Considers the threats to existing cultures, structures and systems.
