Built Environment and Population Health in Small-Town America
A groundbreaking look at the complex relationship between the built environment and population health in small-town America. The links between urban settings and health issues are well established, but the built environments of smaller cities and towns also play a crucial role in population well-being. In this book, Mahbub Rashid—who employs innovative spatial and social network analysis techniques to examine the impact of built form and space on people's behavior, psychology, society, and culture—uses extensive spatial, demographic, and health data to study the crucial role of the built environment in small Kansas cities. The first book of its kind, Built Environment and Population Health in Small-Town America sheds light on the critical factors shaping the well-being of these communities and provides valuable insights for building healthier futures.
Urban and Transit Planning
A volume of five parts, this book is a culmination of selected research papers from the second version of the international conferences on Urban Planning & Architectural Design for sustainable Development (UPADSD) and Urban Transit and Sustainable Networks (UTSN) of 2017 in Palermo and the first of the Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism Conference (RRAU) of 2018 in the Netherlands. This book, not only discusses environmental challenges of the world today, but also informs the reader of the new technologies, tools, and approaches used today for successful planning and development as well as new and upcoming ones. Chapters of this book provide in-depth debates on fields of env...

PROJETO E CIDADE: ENSAIOS ACADÊMICOS
De modo a marcar um primeiro ciclo de cinco anos do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da UFG, os trabalhos inseridos neste livro apresentam os Ensaios Acadêmicos começais, desenvolvidos no âmbito deste curso, tendo como autores os alunos de graduação e seus professores orientadores. Os trabalhos aqui apresentados conformam produtos das ações de pesquisa, ensino e extensão desenvolvidas ao longo deste primeiro ciclo com o objetivo de fortalecer estes três pilares da universidade. Tal esforço conjunto dos docentes e discentes busca ainda revelar a importância da pesquisa e da ciência na formação acadêmica já no nível da graduação, intentando fomentar a iniciação científica, e estimular a continuidade das pesquisas em nível de pós-graduação.
Projeto e Cidade: Mobilidade e Acessibilidade em Goiânia
Sobre esta obra, se trata de um material tão plural e diversificado quanto a própria abordagem da mobilidade urbana e da acessibilidade. Diversidade esta possível a partir da somatória do conhecimento de pesquisadores de diversas áreas, com experiências teóricas e pragmáticas distintas, em suas diversas instituições. Busca-se, a partir de cinco grandes temas, trazer para Goiânia e áreas relacionadas com a Capital desde resultados de pesquisas que investigam como a cidade se estrutura e como tal estrutura impacta a mobilidade urbana; passando por transformações em determinadas regiões da cidade ou provocadas por empreendimentos específicos; discussões sobre a necessidade de s...
PROJETO E CIDADE: CENTRALIDADES E MOBILIDADE URBANA
Em um contexto que aponta a necessidade de investigação da estrutura espacial urbana e sua relação com o transporte e a mobilidade, nasceu a pesquisa denominada Identificação de centralidades brasileiras para planejamento da mobilidade urbana sustentável, cujos principais resultados financiados pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) conformam os produtos deste trabalho, que envolveu quatro equIpes nacionais. O trabalho empenha-se em realizar uma análise dos elementos peremptórios dessa estrutura espacial urbana, de modo a possibilitar sua identificação, podendo assim contribuir para embasar políticas e diretrizes públicas de atuação no setor de planejamento, com foco no planejamento de transportes e por consequência da mobilidade. Espera-se divulgar os resultados de uma pesquisa que procura inovar na investigação da relação das centralidades e sua relação com a mobilidade urbana, podendo consolidar-se como uma valiosa ferramenta para os processos de planejamento do território e da mobilidade.
Secular Evolution of Galaxies
The formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the most important topics in modern astrophysics. Secular evolution refers to the relatively slow dynamical evolution due to internal processes induced by a galaxy's spiral arms, bars, galactic winds, black holes and dark matter haloes. It plays an important role in the evolution of spiral galaxies with major consequences for galactic bulges, the transfer of angular momentum, and the distribution of a galaxy's constituent stars, gas and dust. This internal evolution is in turn the key to understanding and testing cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. Based on the twenty-third Winter School of the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, this volume presents reviews from nine world-renowned experts on the observational and theoretical research into secular processes, and what these processes can tell us about the structure and formation of galaxies. The volume provides a firm grounding for graduate students and early career researchers working on galactic dynamics and galaxy evolution.
Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Pavements—Mairepav9
This book gathers the proceedings of an international conference held at Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for materials Science and Technology) in Dübendorf, Switzerland, in July 2020. The conference series was established by the International Society of Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Transport Infrastructure (iSMARTi) for promoting and discussing state-of-the-art design, maintenance, rehabilitation and management of pavements. The inaugural conference was held at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2000. The series has steadily grown over the past 20 years, with installments hosted in various countries all over the world. The respective contributions share the latest insights from research and practice in the maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements, and discuss advanced materials, technologies and solutions for achieving an even more sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure.

The Mechanical Properties of Sea Ice
The review discusses the state of thinking of each of the main national groups investigating sea ice and gives an overall appraisal of the field as a whole. Emphasis is placed on (1) the physical basis for interpreting sea ice strength (phase relations, air volume, and structural considerations), (2) theoretical considerations (strength models, air bubbles and salt reinforcement, and interrelations between growth conditions and strength), (3) experimental results (tensile, flexural, shear, and compressive strength, elastic modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio, time dependent effects, and creep), and (4) plate characteristics. The paper includes a review of problems in sea ice investigations, relates the chemical, crystallographic, mechanical, and physical aspects involved, and concludes by showing how to utilize this knowledge to solve practical problems.
