The scope of the research is limited to analyze the multi-family dwellings of 3-8 stories. If succeeded the results should represent a general Baseline Building according to the new LEED v4 credit, Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction.

Trots att ett decennium har gått sedan artärernas longitudinella rörelse visades in vivo är bakgrunden till denna multifasiska rörelse fortfarande inte fastställd. Att trycket skulle kunna driva rörelsen har ledigt avfärdats. Resonemanget har varit att eftersom trycket verkar vinkelrätt mot väggen kan det endast påverka den radiella töjningen. I följande arbete har vi visat i en förenklad teoretiAlthough a decade has passed since the longitudinal movement of arteries was shown in vivo, the cause for this multiphasic movement has not yet been established. Pressure as a force driving the forward motion has been repeatedly dismissed on the grounds that pressure acts perpendicular to the wall and therefore solely in the radial direction. In this work we have shown in a simplified theoretical

Empirical and theoretical research has for some time argued that investors also expect rewards for bearing risk related to higher moments.
