Developing A Body Of Knowledge For Green Construction Project Management
Growing global imperatives to address sustainability concerns have boosted the importance and prominence of green construction projects worldwide. However, project managers may lack the specialist knowledge and/or technical skills to overcome the unique challenges to successfully deliver suitably sustainable green projects. This book aims to address this shortfall by unearthing, refining and synergising the hitherto scattered gems of experiential and theoretical knowledge, into a unified Body of Knowledge for green construction project management.Comprising both conceptual principles as well as practical case studies, this book for the first time assembles, structures and consolidates a comp...
Enabling AI Applications in Data Science
This book provides a detailed overview of the latest developments and applications in the field of artificial intelligence and data science. AI applications have achieved great accuracy and performance with the help of developments in data processing and storage. It has also gained strength through the amount and quality of data which is the main nucleus of data science. This book aims to provide the latest research findings in the field of artificial intelligence with data science.
The Road to the Land of the Mother of God
The Interoceanic Highway is many things to many people: an emblematic project during a period focused on integration, a dream realized for an isolated region, a symbol of the profound fragility of state institutions, a key cause of political corruption, and a major driver of ecological and cultural devastation. This highway links the Andean highlands with the Amazonian lowlands in southern Peru, offering an outlet for Brazil's emergent economy. While it finally brought an end to the isolation of Madre de Dios and other parts of southern Peru and the western Amazon, it was made possible by political corruption revealed in the Lava Jato scandal, and it permitted the spread of criminal business...
Green Building in Developing Countries
The book reveals how green buildings are currently being adapted and applied in developing countries. It includes the major developing countries such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, Cambodia, Ghana, Nigeria and countries from the Middle East and gathers the insights of respected green building researchers from these areas to map out the developing world’s green building revolution. The book highlights these countries’ contribution to tackling climate change, emphasising the green building benefits and the research behind them. The contributing authors explore how the green building revolution has spread to developing countries and how national governments have initiate...
The Political Economy of Sanctions: Resilience and Transformation in Russia and Iran
This book presents a comparative analysis of Russia and Iran under sanctions. Whilst the growing literature on sanctions has focused primarily on their effectiveness, much less attention has been paid to the ways in which sanctions have transformed target societies and states. Despite, or indeed because of, the relentless enactment of sanctions, Russia and Iran have become increasingly Hobbesian in their governance – more self-reliant, less democratic, and more aggressive towards the West. The author explores these developments through a novel Welfare State Regime framework (WSR) that combines welfare state functionality with institutional, economic, and cultural structural dimensions.
BDEDM 2023
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Big Data Economy and Digital Management (BDEDM 2023) supported by University Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia, held on 6th–8th January 2023 in Changsha, China (virtual conference). The immediate purpose of this Conference was to bring together experienced as well as young scientists who are interested in working actively on various aspects of Big Data Economy and Digital Management. The keynote speeches addressed major theoretical issues, current and forthcoming observational data as well as upcoming ideas in both theoretical and observational sectors. Keeping in mind the “academic exchange first” approach, the lectures were arranged in such a way that the young researchers had ample scope to interact with the stalwarts who are internationally leading experts in their respective fields of research. The major topics covered in the Conference are: Big Data in Enterprise Performance Management, Enterprise Management Modernization, Intelligent Management System, Performance Evaluation and Modeling Applications, Enterprise Technology Innovation, etc.

This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of information technology in civil and building engineering, presented at the 19th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), held in Cape Town, South Africa on October 26-28, 2022. It covers highly diverse topics such as BIM, construction information modeling, knowledge management, GIS, GPS, laser scanning, sensors, monitoring, VR/AR, computer-aided construction, product and process modeling, big data and IoT, cooperative design, mobile computing, simulation, structural health monitoring, computer-aided structural control and analysis, ICT in geotechnical engineering, computational mechanics, asset management, maintenance, urban planning, facility management, and smart cities. Written by leading researchers and engineers, and selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, the contributions highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Future is Urban: Livability, Resilience & Resource Conservation
Cities have played an important role in our lives since the dawn of civilization. However, cities are slowly becoming overwhelmed and therefore intervention is desirable towards green, blue and egalitarian nature. Even with current urban issues, we must rise to the occasion as professionals to create cities that are social, cities that take care of the environment, and cities that are digital. Increased citizen participation is indispensable in this process. The ‘International Conference on Future is Urban (IFCU’ 21) Dec 16-18, 2021, Ahmedabad, India’, takes into account Livability, Resilience & Resource Conservation for planning Future and cities in future.
