Current Methods of Construction Design
This conference proceeding presents contributions to the 59th International Conference of Machine Design (ICMD 2018), organized by the University of Žilina, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Design and Mechanical Elements. Discussing innovative solutions applied in engineering, the latest research and developments, and guidance on improving the quality of university teaching, it covers a range of topics, including: machine design and optimization engineering analysis tribology and nanotechnology additive technologies hydraulics and fluid mechanisms modern materials and technology biomechanics biomimicry; and innovation
Advances in Plasma Treatment of Textile Surfaces
Advances in Plasma Treatment of Textile Surfaces offers a detailed overview on the use of plasma in natural and synthetic textiles, and also explores recent applications in technical textiles including composites, ballistic performance, functionalization and textile wastewater treatment.This promising technology can alter the surface properties of textiles without having a significant effect on their bulk properties, leading to potential improvements to the scouring, de-sizing, dyeing, finishing, printing, and laminating processes among others.Drawing on an international team of contributors from industry as well as academia, this important book is bringing these innovative sustainable plasma treatments to textile and polymer scientists everywhere working in the field of textile functionalization. - Provides detailed technical descriptions of cutting-edge applications of plasma in nanotechnology, biotechnology, and other fields - Describes the different kinds of plasma treatment equipment and compares their use for different effects - Starts with overviews of basic information such as how to determine surface properties
Automation in Agriculture
According to Prof. D. Despommier, by the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Furthermore, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. New land will be needed to grow enough food to feed them. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. What can be done to avoid this impending disaster? One possible solution is indoor farming. However, not all crops can easily be moved in an indoor environment. Nevertheless, to secure the food supply, it is necessary to increase the automation level in agriculture significantly. This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and automation examples in agriculture.
Jews of Weequahic
Known as Newark's "Jewish Frontier," Weequahic was home to 35,000 Jewish residents from the 1930s to the 1960s. Homes built on farm lots, known as Lyons Farms, attracted the city's upwardly mobile Jewish families. Weequahic High School still remains at the heart of the community, drawing generations of alumni for annual reunions and events. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Roth, a Weequahic High School graduate, found inspiration in the community, documenting its intricacies in his work. The high school still houses a mural, The Enlightenment of Man, painted by New Deal painter Michael Lenson. This mural is regarded as one of the most important pieces of public art in the state. Jews of Weequahic captures the life of this vibrant community that has become one of Newark's legendary neighborhoods.
Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.
