Gain a stronger foundation with optimal ground improvement Before you break ground on a new structure, you need to analyze the structure of the ground. Expert analysis and optimization of the geo-materials on your site can mean the difference between a lasting structure and a school in a sinkhole. Sometimes problematic geology is expected because of the location, but other times it's only unearthed once construction has begun. You need to be able to quickly adapt your project plan to include an improvement to unfavorable ground before the project can safely continue. Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement is the only comprehensive, up-to-date compendium of solutions to this critical a...
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience and the most frequent causes for patients to seek medical care. Persistent chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, causing low quality of health and emotional status, as well as posing a significant social and economic burden. Chronic pain is the long-standing pain that are classified as different types, including chronic primary pain and secondary pain types caused by various diseases. The complexity of cause and symptom in chronic pain is associated with changes in different levels of nervous system, from molecular interaction, synaptic connection, cellular response, and neural circuits. The development of new treatments to manage chronic pain shall base on the better standing of the neuropathological mechanism underlying the symptom, the exploration on the methods of a better diagnosis, and the communication of clinical application standards and results.
Some of the most beautiful studies in Mathematics are related to Symmetry and Geometry. For this reason, we select here some contributions about such aspects and Discrete Geometry. As we know, Symmetry in a system means invariance of its elements under conditions of transformations. When we consider network structures, symmetry means invariance of adjacency of nodes under the permutations of node set. The graph isomorphism is an equivalence relation on the set of graphs. Therefore, it partitions the class of all graphs into equivalence classes. The underlying idea of isomorphism is that some objects have the same structure if we omit the individual character of their components. A set of graphs isomorphic to each other is denominated as an isomorphism class of graphs. The automorphism of a graph will be an isomorphism from G onto itself. The family of all automorphisms of a graph G is a permutation group.
"Marc S. Abramson's portrait of this complex, multiethnic empire draws on political writings, religious texts, and other cultural artifacts, as well as comparative examples from other empires and frontiers. Abramson argues that various constituencies, ranging from Confucian elites to Buddhist monks to "barbarian" generals, sought to define ethnic boundaries for various reasons but often in part out of discomfort with the ambiguity of their own ethnic and cultural identity. The Tang court, meanwhile, sought to absorb some alien populations to preserve the empire's integrity while seeking to preserve the ethnic distinctiveness of other groups whose particular skills it valued. Abramson demonstrates how the Tang era marked a key shift in definitions of China and the Chinese people, a shift that ultimately laid the foundation for the emergence of the modern Chinese nation."--BOOK JACKET.
The Turkic Muslims known as the Uighur have long faced social and economic disadvantages in China because of their minority status. Under the Heel of the Dragon: Islam, Racism, Crime, and the Uighur in China offers a unique insight into current conflicts resulting from the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and the Chinese government’s oppression of religious minorities, issues that have heightened the degree of polarization between the Uighur and the dominant Chinese ethnic group, the Han. Author Blaine Kaltman’s study is based on in-depth interviews that he conducted in Chinese without the aid of an interpreter or the knowledge of the Chinese government. These riveting conversations expose...

The 5th International Conference on Civil Engineering and Urban Planning (CEUP2016) was held in Xi'an, China on August 23 - 26, 2016. CEUP2016 gathered outstanding scientists and researchers worldwide to exchange and discuss new findings in civil engineering and urban planning associated with transportation and environmental topics. The conference program committee is also greatly honored to have four renowned experts for taking time off to present their keynotes to the conference.The conference had received a total of 410 submissions, which after peer review by the Technical Program Committee, only 108 were selected to be included in this conference proceedings, which covers Architecture and Urban Planning; Civil Engineering and Transportation Engineering.
