Higher international logistics costs, returning demand from industry workload, and higher global metals prices are some of the ingredients to quicker building cost inflation. Whilst some EU materials exporters to the UK are adjusting to Brexit, other EU exporters - initially smaller or specialist firms hit proportionally harder - are now deciding not to supply the UK at all, because the additional red tape involved makes it not commercially viable. If this trend replicates across the whole EU to UK supply chain, visible disruption and higher prices are likely until other sources of supply begin to increase in volume and step in to address these supply issues. Among other exporters continuing to supply the UK, significant price increases are being applied to cover the permanent Brexit non-tariff barriers and additional administrative processes. SPON'S ARCHITECTS' AND BUILDERS' PRICE BOOK 2022, compiled by AECOM, still provides the most accurate, detailed and professionally relevant construction price information for the UK. Its unique Tender Index, updated through the year (2015 = 100), gives an ongoing reality check and allows you to adjust for changing market conditions. Although it suits a wide range of project sizes, this is the only price book which sets out a detailed cost base for contracts exceeding £4,000,000 in value.

But musical authorship, in its many technical and aesthetic modes, remains an important component of music culture. Musicians are increasingly called on to share their experience in writing. However, cultural imperatives to account for composition as knowledge production and to make claims for its uniqueness inhibit the development of discourse in both expert and public spheres. Internet pioneer Philip Agre observed a discourse deficit in artificial intelligence research and proposed a critical technical practice, a single disciplinary field with "one foot planted in the craft work of design and the other foot planted in the reflexive work of critique. A critical technical practice rethinks its own premises, re-evaluates its own methods, and reconsiders its own concepts as a routine part of its daily work."

As well as structural studies it contains coverage of membrane interactions and molecular motions. Advances in biological solid-state NMR are very pertinent with high-field developments seeing applications in biological membranes and whole cells. Many of the chapter authors and contributors are world-class experts and leaders in the development and application of biological solid-state NMR.
