This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of urban geology. Along with a rapidly growing world population, the wave of urban growth continues, causing cities to swell and new metropolitan centers to emerge. These global trends also open new ventures for underground city development. Engineering geology plays a major role in facing the increasing issues of the urban environment, such as: finding aggregates for construction works; providing adequate water supply and waste management; solving building problems associated to geological and geomorphological conditions; evaluating host rock conditions for underground constructions; preventing or mitigating geolo...
This volume contains the papers of the 1st Workshop IFToMM for Sustainable Development Goals (I4SDG), held online on November 25-26, 2021. The main topics of the workshop include the aspects of theory, design and practice of mechanism and machine science which are instrumental in reaching a sustainable development, such as: biomechanical engineering, sustainable energy systems, robotics and mechatronics, green tribology, computational kinematics, dynamics of machinery, industrial applications of mechanism design, gearing and transmissions, multibody dynamics rotor dynamics, vibrations, humanitarian engineering, and socio-technical systems for sustainable and inclusive development. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists, demonstrating that medical and service robotics will drive the technological and societal change in the coming decades.
This book collects the papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (RACR-2017) held in Ostrava/Prague, Czech Republic, on June 5-9, 2017, organized by VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The overall theme of the sixth international conference on risk analysis and crisis response is Risk Analysis and Management – Trends, Challenges and Emerging Issues, highlighting science and technology to improve risk analysis capabilities and to optimize crisis response strategy. This book contains primarily research articles of risk issues. Underlying topics include natural hazards and major (chemical) accidents prevention, disaster risk red...
Die Möglichkeiten für eine Bestimmung des Zerstörungsausmaßes in Gebieten, welche durch Naturkatastrophen oder durch Menschen herbeigeführte Zerstörungen betroffen wurden, hängen von der Art bzw. Schwere der Ereignisse, wie zum Beispiel Erdbeben, Hurrikane oder Kriege, sowie von den Zerstörungsbereichen, wie zum Beispiel Gebäuden und Infrastrukturen, ab. Ein Gesamtbild des Zerstörungsausmaßes stellt im Endeffekt einen notwendigen Schritt für die späteren richtigen Maßnahmen dar, welche zum stabilen Wiederaufbau führen. Diese Forschungsarbeit befasst sich ausschließlich mit der Ermittlung des Schadengrads an Gebäuden im Einzelnen oder in kleinen Gruppen und nicht mit der Schadenermittlung anderer Arten von betroffenen Bereichen, wie zum Beispiel Wälder oder Infrastrukturen. Sie stellt aber einen wichtigen Ansatz für weitere Entwicklung mit dem Ziel einer genaueren Betrachtung des Schadenausmaßes in dem gesamten betroffenen Gebiet dar und dient gleichzeitig zur Kooperation bei der Auswertung der Ergebnisse von anderen Diensten sowie Software, die andere Schäden an Gebäudekonstruktionen und Infrastrukturen ermitteln.
A vast catalog dedicated to Leonardo's entire oeuvre on the occasion of the largest exhibition realized on the genius, symbol of Italian art and creativity, during Milan Expo 2015. This volume represents a unique opportunity to admire and understand Leonardo's extraordinary complexity as an artist, painter, and sketcher, and, in part, his work as a scientist and technologist. This volume is meant to illustrate, through twelve sections, some central themes in Leonardo's entire artistic and scientific career, underlining some constants in his vision as an artist and a scientist, as well as his interdisciplinary vocation and continuous intermingling of interests. Two final sections show the inf...
