This literary ‘Swiss army knife’ explains the origins and uses of limestones. Discover how they form rocks, create iconic karst scenery, and provide reservoirs for ~50% of the world’s oil and gas, while also posing unique hydrogeological and foundation problems.
This book examines the psycho-social factors of depression in the elderly: sudden retirement, loss, poverty, and social isolation. It will appeal to professionals and families willing to help their ageing relatives avoid depression.
This book sums up over half a century of research in derivative spectroscopy. For the first time, it offers the big picture of all spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic derivative methods, with reproducible calculations, serving as a practical guide for researchers and students.
Design Concepts for Seismic-Resistant Buildings
This book proposes a quantitative shaking evaluation for seismic-resistant buildings, with guidance to calculate the shaking quantity scale. It also demonstrates using Artificial Intelligence to predict this scale, which is highly important for earthquake early warning systems.
This book describes the principles, applications, and types of analog multiplexers. It explains how they are used to implement both analog function circuits and digital circuits, familiarizing readers with these key components.
This book explores the preservation of the urban historical environment. It covers improving and strengthening building structures, construction technology, geotechnics, and energy efficiency, detailing developments in pile structures using discharge-pulse technology.
This book describes the principles and applications of different types of analog switches. It explains how they are used to implement both analog and digital function circuits.
This guide helps the optical radiation measurement community switch from traditional source-based methods to higher-accuracy, detector-based applications. It covers user-friendly radiometric practices, setup design, and extensions into the ultraviolet and infrared ranges.
Developments in Management Science in Engineering 2018
This book identifies the main research categories of Management Science in Engineering (MSE), and evaluates and classifies each journal in this field. Developed by leading experts, it is of interest to scientists, researchers, practitioners, engineers, and students.
Dialogues on the New Physics
Eurythmic physics seeks to unify physics for a clearer view of nature. This book develops this approach, arguing that because physical phenomena are not linear, they must be understood from a nonlinear, interrelated, and complex perspective.
This book presents research on the diffraction, radiation, and propagation of elastic waves, focusing on interactions between bodies and media interfaces. It details solutions to three-dimensional wave problems for isotropic and anisotropic bodies using Debye potentials.
This book proposes a new methodology for underwater archaeology using low-budget digital tech. Discover novel collection methods for volunteer divers to create stunning 2D/3D models and a Virtual Reality museum, promoting archaeology in an age where visualization matters.
Digital Platformization and Effects on Corporate Branding
This book reflects on digital platforms, their added value for sustainability through corporate branding, and the challenge of assessing performance in the sports, cultural, and creative sectors as platform-based models become embedded in everyday life.
A major problem of contemporary physics is the incompatibility of its two greatest theories: quantum mechanics and general relativity. There is a lack of an over-arching framework to unite them. This book provides an accessible guideline to a possible framework.
Disruption Recovery in Air Traffic
This is the first book to treat the optimisation of air traffic disruption management from a common good perspective, addressing airlines, airports, ATC providers, and the public. It describes optimisation techniques of immense value to industry professionals and academics.
Disruptive Creativity with Generative AI
Generative AI is profoundly reshaping creativity. This book explores how AI acts as both a tool and a collaborator, enabling innovations that challenge traditional boundaries. Discover how this disruptive force will shape the future of innovation across all industries.
Doctoral Education in Architecture
Doctoral Education in Architecture: Challenges and Opportunities deals with a topic on which there is currently little literature available. Containing data from a pilot study and contributions on European schools, this volume provides insight for future challenges.
This volume gathers 41 Mars scientists, mission engineers and planners and medical researchers to address knowledge gaps in a wide range of areas, including the chemical, physical and electrical properties of Mars atmospheric dust and its effects on human health.
