El libro Grandes lecciones/pequeñas edificaciones tiene una premisa en su título: las obras de arquitectura de pequeña escala presentan de modo sintético y sucinto búsquedas más amplias y esenciales en las trayectorias de sus respectivos proyectistas. Con esta hipótesis de trabajo en mente hemos seleccionado como objetos de estudio de este libro las siguientes tres edificaciones colombianas contemporáneas de pequeño formato: el Pabellón del Café del Museo Nacional de Colombia de Leonardo Álvarez y Ricardo Cruz, la Leroteca de Gloria Serna y el Café del Bosque de Ana Elvira Vélez y Lorenzo Castro. Para cada uno de los tres proyectos profundizamos en variables asociadas al lugar, la actividad y la tectónica; además, anunciamos algunas hipótesis que consideramos pueden resultar de utilidad para estudiantes, proyectistas e investigadores de la arquitectura. Asimismo, acompañamos cada análisis con transcripciones editadas de entrevistas a los arquitectos, fotografías y planos de las edificaciones; así como con gráficos analíticos y conceptuales realizados por Jorge Camilo Roa Romero.
This book contains peer-reviewed papers from the Second World Landslide Forum, organised by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), that took place in September 2011. The entire material from the conference has been split into seven volumes, this one is the first: 1. Landslide Inventory and Susceptibility and Hazard Zoning, 2. Early Warning, Instrumentation and Monitoring, 3. Spatial Analysis and Modelling, 4. Global Environmental Change, 5. Complex Environment, 6. Risk Assessment, Management and Mitigation, 7. Social and Economic Impact and Policies.
Este libro parte de la idea de que hay un orden natural y que, para el arquitecto, la habitabilidad es su responsabilidad ética con el bienestar del ser humano y del medio ambiente. Este libro enseña cómo hacer habitables los espacios, cómo construir atmósferas para el bienestar de las personas. Sistemas de habitabilidad es un esfuerzo colectivo de profesores de Arquitectura e Ingeniería, liderados por Rafael Villazón Godoy y David Felipe Rodríguez, que explora la inflexión del espacio a través de los principios técnicos del proyecto de arquitectura. Aquellos que le dan atmósfera, tectónica y habitabilidad al espacio humano. Dicen por ahí que ya no son tiempos de escribir tratados; quizás están equivocados. Aquí tienen, entre sus manos, un nuevo tratado del hacer, de la fábrica de la Arquitectura. Camilo Isaak
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
This book highlights applications that include machine learning methods to enhance new developments in complex and unmanned systems. The contents are organized from the applications requiring few methods to the ones combining different methods and discussing their development and hardware/software implementation. The book includes two parts: the first one collects machine learning applications in complex systems, mainly discussing developments highlighting their modeling and simulation, and hardware implementation. The second part collects applications of machine learning in unmanned systems including optimization and case studies in submarines, drones, and robots. The chapters discuss misce...
Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slo...
Eleventh in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 189 economies, Doing Business 2014 measures regulations affecting 11 areas of everyday business activity around the world.
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 21st International Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation, EvoApplications 2018, held in Parma, Italy, in April 2018, collocated with the Evo* 2018 events EuroGP, EvoCOP, and EvoMUSART. The 59 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. EvoApplications 2018 combined research from 14 different domains: business analytics and finance (EvoBAFIN); computational biology (EvoBIO); communication networks and other parallel and distributed systems (EvoCOMNET); complex systems (EvoCOMPLEX); energy-related optimization (EvoENERGY); games and multi-agent systems (EvoGAMES); image analysis, signal processing and pattern recognition (EvoIASP); realworld industrial and commercial environments (EvoINDUSTRY); knowledge incorporation in evolutionary computation (EvoKNOW); continuous parameter optimization (EvoNUM); parallel architectures and distributed infrastructures (EvoPAR); evolutionary robotics (EvoROBOT); nature-inspired algorithms in software engineering and testing (EvoSET); and stochastic and dynamic environments (EvoSTOC).
This book contains the proceedings of the ROBOT 2013: FIRST IBERIAN ROBOTICS CONFERENCE and it can be said that included both state of the art and more practical presentations dealing with implementation problems, support technologies and future applications. A growing interest in Assistive Robotics, Agricultural Robotics, Field Robotics, Grasping and Dexterous Manipulation, Humanoid Robots, Intelligent Systems and Robotics, Marine Robotics, has been demonstrated by the very relevant number of contributions. Moreover, ROBOT2013 incorporates a special session on Legal and Ethical Aspects in Robotics that is becoming a topic of key relevance. This Conference was held in Madrid (28-29 November ...
