Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of Environment and Constructions
Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering for Protection and Development of Environment and Constructions contains invited, keynote and theme lectures and regular papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (Rome, Italy, 17-20 June 2019. The contributions deal with recent developments and advancements as well as case histories, field monitoring, experimental characterization, physical and analytical modelling, and applications related to the variety of environmental phenomena induced by earthquakes in soils and their effects on engineered systems interacting with them. The book is divided in the sections below: Invited papers Keynote papers Theme lec...

Historical Development of Modern Cosmology
Annotation Proceedings of a weeklong, international summer school held in Val`encia, Spain in December 2000. Twenty-four lectures presented at the School by cosmologists, astronomers, particle physicists, and science historians review how our concept of the universe has changed in the last century. A sampling of topics: an introductory review to the historical development of modern cosmology; Einstein, Eddington and the 1919 eclipse; dark matter and large scale structure; history and current research on the classical singularity problem; the evolution of alternative cosmologies; discovering and understanding cosmic structure; a modern perspective on sharing the universe; and the quest for the edge of the universe. No subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Pluralismo médico y curas alternativas
El estudio del «pluralismo médico» o «asistencial» fue, y aún es, parte fundamental del desarrollo y la agenda de la antropología médica, no solo en otros continentes con países en vías de desarrollo, sino también en Europa. Por «pluralismo asistencial» se entiende la coexistencia entre distintos saberes y prácticas relativos al «proceso salud, enfermedad y atención». El pluralismo asistencial sigue siendo un ámbito de estudio en el que la historia y las ciencias sociales dedicadas a la investigación de la medicina, la salud y la enfermedad encontrarán un objeto que puede ofrecer perspectivas críticas sobre las complejas sociedades contemporáneas, en el contexto de unas nuevas culturas de la salud, que pivotan entre lo global y lo local.
The Spanish Coastal Systems
This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.

Els orígens del Gran Teatre del Liceu (1837-1847)
El 1837 un batalló de la Milícia Nacional inaugurava, al desamortizat convent de dominiques de Nostra Senyora de Montsió, un «Liceu». Un centre d'ensenyances artístiques i un lloc d'exhibició per als alumnes que en formaven part. Les rivalitats amb el Teatre Principal no es feren esperar i, a poc a poc, el Liceu anà guanyant el lloc que poc després el convertia en el gran teatre que avui coneixem
Silicon Nanowire Transistors
This book describes the n and p-channel Silicon Nanowire Transistor (SNT) designs with single and dual-work functions, emphasizing low static and dynamic power consumption. The authors describe a process flow for fabrication and generate SPICE models for building various digital and analog circuits. These include an SRAM, a baseband spread spectrum transmitter, a neuron cell and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform in the digital domain, as well as high bandwidth single-stage and operational amplifiers, RF communication circuits in the analog domain, in order to show this technology’s true potential for the next generation VLSI.
Festivals and the City
This book explores how festivals and events affect urban places and public spaces, with a particular focus on their role in fostering inclusion. The ‘festivalisation’ of culture, politics and space in cities is often regarded as problematic, but this book examines the positive and negative ways that festivals affect cities by examining festive spaces as contested spaces. The book focuses on Western European cities, a particularly interesting context given the social and cultural pressures associated with high levels of in-migration and concerns over the commercialisation and privatisation of public spaces. The key themes of this book are the quest for more inclusive urban spaces and the ...
