Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of each of the chapter authors. For some authors, writing a chapter was beyond their “9–5” job, and this book re?ects their commitment to sustainability at the local level for their communities. To every chapter author and their staff, friends, and families, thank you. This dynamic and paradigm-changing volume on the topic of sustainable development is focused on communities such as cities, schools, and colleges where the future of our families and children are most at risk.

Overview: Serves as "how to" guide specifically for the civil or mining engineer.Provides excruciating detail to solutions of many illustrated problems.Includes no maths beyond secondary school level (addition,.".Indeed, the most important part of engineering work—and also of other scientific work—is the determination of the method of attacking the problem, whatever it may be, whether an experimental investigation, or a theoretical calculation. … It is by the choice of a suitable method of attack, that intricate problems are reduced to simple phenomena, and then easily solved.." .Charles Prote

Overview: The emergence of civil aviation as a means of mass transportation is primarily due to the large­ scale construction of jet airplanes in the past 30 years or so. A large number of these jet airplanes is currently operating at or beyond their designed fatigue lives. Thus, the structural integrity of these aging airplanes has become an issue of major concern to all nations of the world. To bring the needed technical and research focus on the issues involved in the life-enhancement and safety-assurance of aging airplanes, the Federal Aviation Administration sponsored a symposium in Atlan

Overview: Magnetic data storage can be viewed as a data communication system. This is not a sUlprising view, considering that data storage is essentially the transfer of data between different times. The past decade has indeed seen rapidly growing interest in applying improved coding and detection techniques to magnetic data storage, a traditional approach to enhance performance of communication channels. Since its inception in the 1930‘s, the magnetic recording industry has achieved impressive progress in data capacity. This has been made possible mainly by innovations and advances in heads a

Overview: Second edition of successful reference on steroid analysis.Includes a completely new chapter on pharmaceutical aspects of steroid analysis.Comprehensive and up-to-date review of steroid analysis, writThe second edition of this book has drawn heavily on the first edition but a huge amount of research on steroid analysis has been published over the last 15 years. As a result, the Editors decided to let the first edition of this book stand on its own and direct readers interested in pre-1995 steroid analysis to it, simply because the post-1995 research can on its own fill the second edi

Overview: Defines and explores the realms of spiritual artificial intelligence.Presents the current literature over quantification of mind and spiritual wellness.Dives into applications of spiritual AI grounded.This unique book delves into the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) principles—rooted in scientific knowledge and technological advancements—with the concept of spiritual wellness, exploring their significance in our increasingly automated and digitized world.

Overview: Suggests links between the overall cognitive and intellectual structure of a discipline and the composition of the elite.Asks which factors contribute to the diffusion of an author´s ideas across nati.This book aims to overcome sociology’s preoccupation with individual authors by exploring a larger social phenomenon that occurs in all academic disciplines but has been paid little attention: the prestige elite. Members of this elite attain the highest levels of peer recognition, their books sometimes circulate by the hundreds of thousands, and every student has read about them. Based

Overview: The first Symposium Transsonicum took pl.ace in Aachen thirteen years ago during a period of decreasing governmental. and industrial. support for transonic flow research. Since then, there has been a strong revival. in interest in transonic flow research so that the number of partici­ pants at the second symposium remained about the same as at the first even in spite of tight financial. means and Limited governmental. support. During both meetings the number of participants reached the upper Limit of the number desirabl.e for such a symposium. Participants came from aU over the worl.
