Since MVR is so simple to determine quite accurately on a relatively inexpensive, easy-to-use flow measurement device (FMD), this parameter can be generated on paving sites or at refineries, if needed, rather than in research laboratories as is the case with the fundamental rheological parameters. The unification technique has a sound theoretical basis and the uni- fied curves have far-reaching implications. The MVR value helps in unifying the sets of dynamic data curves of |G*|, G" and |G* |/sin d versus frequency in the case of unmodified asphalts, poly- mer-modified asphalts and asphalt mastics. Using the conventional melt flow indexer, the material's volumetric-flow rate MVR (in cm3 / 10 minutes) through a predefined die under conditions of constant temperature and stress when obtained for the same asphalts, shows a direct relationship with the dynamic data. Rheological data of unmodified and polymer-modified asphalts are conventionally obtained from dynamic mechanical characterization and expressed in terms of sets of curves showing the variation of viscoelastic properties with frequency. The third rheometer measurement Loss modulus (G* × sinδ) is carried out on PAV aged residue, to evaluate fatigue cracking property of binder. Rutting resistance (G*/sinδ) values are greater for modified bitumen indicating better rutting resistance. Complex Modulus G* increases with increase in % of modifier and test temperature, G* values are greater after RTFOT ageing which indicated hardening of bitumen and considerably greater after PAV ageing due to prolonged ageing. Conventional tests shows hardening of bitumen due to ageing and increase in viscosity and temperature susceptibility characteristics due to addition of modifiers. Short and Long Term ageing is simulated by Rolling Thin Film Oven Test and Pressure Ageing Vessel respectively. The properties are tested at different temperature varying from 58˚C till failure at frequency 10 rad/sec.
The rheological properties of binders in terms of their complex modulus (G*) which depicts stiffness and overall resistance to deformation, storage modulus (G' = G*×cosδ) which measures energy stored during a loading cycle, loss modulus (G " = G* × sinδ) which measures the energy dissipated during a loading cycle and phase angle (δ), measures the viscoelastic character of bitumen are studied using Physica Smart Pave Asphalt Rheometer. The changes in conventional and rheological properties of VG30 modified with different percentages of SBS(5% to 7%) and Crumb Rubber(7% to 9%) before and after ageing are studied. Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS), an elastomer and Crumb Rubber, obtained from discarded tyres are used, to modify VG30 bitumen. To determine changes of binder characteristics with respect to time, one must expose bitumen to the influence of external factors which results in oxidation, evaporation and exudation of bitumen components thus hardening of the bitumen. During its service period, bitumen suffers a gradual loss of its desirable properties due to continuous exposure of bitumen to environment and traffic. Thus, it is important to have reliable methods to predict pavement behaviour with time.

A series of reforms to accommodate to the growing interest in the mobility and development of social practices effectively circumventing the remaining restrictions continued until 1988, when the migration regime was practically dismantled.The ageing of bitumen binder has an influence on how long is in service a road coating. This regime allowed for a gradual expansion of international mobility, fueled by transnational (including West-East) market and cultural forces. It developed instead an increasingly complex migration regime, based on "socialist rule by law" and bureaucratic rationality. The government restored control over the outflow but did not return to Stalin-era non-exit policy and terror. The spread of information on their unexpected success (allowed by new policies of destalinization and foreign pressure) and simultaneous decrease of fear, contributed to exponential growth of the group of their imitators, fueled by the social dynamics of migration process. The evolution of practices begun with a few individual, pioneering acts of the most determined applicants for exit permit.
Using the case of Poland it shows how the evolution resulted from a combination of top-down reforms and bottom-up pressure, produced by changes in social practices. This paper presents the evolution of an important component of the communist regime: its exit (emigration) policy and related institutions, from Stalin's death to its implosion in 1989.
