Pieter Caland
Pieter Caland (Zierikzee, 23 July 1826 – Wageningen, 12 July 1902) was a Dutch civil engineer in the service of the Rijkswaterstaat. He devised the plan for the Nieuwe Waterweg and implemented it from 1864 to 1872. This visionary project was not without problems and setbacks. Part of the canal had to be dug through wide dunes and special provisions were made for the siting of the channel counter, leading it to run over-time and over-budget and causing Caland to be criticised. However, the new canal caused a boom in trade into Rotterdam and thus fully justified its costs. Namesakes * A canal and a bridge near Rozenburg in South Holland. * In Rotterdam, near the Veerhaven, Calandstraat and the Calandmonument. * In Zierikzee, the Calandweg and the Calandplein. * In Amsterdam, the in Osdorp and the in Osdorp. * One of the metro lines in Rotterdam, the Caland Line, was named after him. * In The Hague, the Calandkade, Calandstraat and the Calandplein. * In Dordrecht, the Cala ...

There, he attended lectures on classical languages, most notably H. Kern's lectures on Sanskrit and Avestan.

Caland System
The Caland system is a set of rules in the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language which describes how certain words, typically adjectives, are derived from one another. It was named after Dutch Indologist Willem Caland (1859–1932), who first formulated part of the system. The cognates derived from these roots in different daughter languages often do not agree in formation, but show certain characteristic properties: *Adjectives are formed using zero-ablaut ''ro''-stems (i.e., word stems ending in '' *-rós''), '' u''-stems, or amphikinetic '' nt''-stems. *Adjectives are sometimes formed using '' i''-stems, especially in the first part of a compound. *Corresponding stative verbs in often exist. Examples Example 1 'light (in weight)': *''ro''-stems: Ancient Greek ''elaphrós'' 'light, quick'; Old High German ''lungar'' 'fast' *''u''-stems: Ancient Greek ''elakhús'' 'small'; Sanskrit ''laghú-, raghú-'' 'quick, light, small'; Avestan ''ragu-'' 'fast'; Latin ''levis'' 'lig ...

Rotterdam Metro
The Rotterdam Metro () is a rapid transit system operated in Rotterdam, Netherlands and surrounding municipalities by RET. The first line, called ''Noord – Zuidlijn'' (North – South line) opened in 1968 and ran from Centraal Station to Zuidplein, crossing the river Nieuwe Maas in a tunnel. It was the first metro system to open in the Netherlands. At the time it was also one of the shortest metro lines in the world with a length of only . In 1982 a second line was opened, the ''Oost – Westlijn'' (East – West line), running between Capelsebrug and Coolhaven stations. In the late 1990s, the lines were named after two historic Rotterdam citizens, the Erasmus Line (North – South) after Desiderius Erasmus and the Caland Line (East – West) after Pieter Caland. As of December 2009, these names were dropped again in favour of a combination of letters and colours, to emphasise and clarify the difference between the separate branches, especially of the former East – Wes ...

Calandbrug
The Calandbrug is a road and former railroad bridge over the Caland Canal in the port of Rotterdam in the Dutch municipality of Rotterdam.

Completed in 1969, the truss bridge with integrated Vertical-lift bridge, vertical lift bridge connects the Europoort and Botlek port areas and carries two lanes of A15 motorway (Netherlands), Rijksweg 15, a separate path for mopeds and bicycles and a footpath. Until 2021, it also carried two tracks of the ''Havenspoorlijn Rotterdam''. As the ''Brittanniëhaven'' has to be reached by Roll-on/roll-off#Car carriers, car transporters with high superstructures, which could no longer pass through the 46-metre-wide opening of the bridge in strong winds, the port authority had a 1.8-kilometre-long and 25-metre-high partially permeable wind barrier built on the west side of the bridge in 1985. In addition, the Thomassentunnel, which runs parallel to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
