## Abstract This paper discusses whether social funds can help to support local action for poverty reduction. It focuses not on the specific poverty‐related projects that are supported by social funds, but the way social funds channel resources. In this context, this paper emphasizes the importance

The dichroic behaviour of 615 and 637 cm À1 bands of the IR spectrum of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been analysed through FTIR measurements on PVC ®lms stretched to various elongation ratios. By comparing the evolution both of the dichroic ratios and of the relative absorbance of those bands in t

This paper describes a method of active vibration control for passing through critical speeds of a rotating shaft by use of support springs made of memory metals. In this method the vibration of the shaft due to whirling is controlled by means of on (heating) and off (cooling) heat control of memory

## Abstract Vitamin D has anticarcinogenic properties and might influence colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but the epidemiological evidence is inconsistent. Many mechanisms of action for vitamin D have been proposed, with some of them initiating __via__ its binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Usi
