This book offers an exciting journey into the most recent architectural achievements, seen in their complexity and plurality, and described in the most objective and truthful way. The development of contemporary architecture is presented as it commenced more than a century ago, as it tried to reconcile democratic ideals with the forces of the Industrial Era. In contrast to many books on the modern-day art of building, the development of architecture is not described chronologically here, but, rather, independently for each selective architectural trend. This allows a better explanation of some evolutionary processes and the continuity of each trend. Thanks to such an approach, this book will serve as a convenient tutorial for courses on history of contemporary architecture in all art and architectural schools.
The volume presents advances in materials research and technology in the area of terotechnology, i.e. the technology of installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of plant machinery and equipment, reliability analysis, technical diagnostics, tribology and technical safety.

This latest version of Information Resources in Toxicology (IRT) continues a tradition established in 1982 with the publication of the first edition in presenting an extensive itemization, review, and commentary on the information infrastructure of the field. This book is a unique wide-ranging, international, annotated bibliography and compendium of major resources in toxicology and allied fields such as environmental and occupational health, chemical safety, and risk assessment. Thoroughly updated, the current edition analyzes technological changes and is rife with online tools and links to Web sites. IRT-IV is highly structured, providing easy access to its information. Among the "hot topi...
This book is a must-read for all network planners and other professionals wishing to improve the quality and cost efficiency of 3G and LTE networks In this book, the authors address the architecture of the 2/3G network and the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The book proposes analytical models that make the analysis and dimensioning of the most important interfaces, i.e. WCDMA or Iub, possible. Furthermore, the authors include descriptions of fundamental technological issues in 2/3 G networks, basic traffic engineering models and frequent examples of the application of analytical models in the analysis and dimensioning of the interface of cellular networks. The specific knowledge included...
Worldwide the attention for health, innovation, and productivity is increasing. The need for knowledge and its applications is large and this book contributes to knowledge development as well as its application. The content varies from the effect that a new office interior has on its occupants, to the most efficient design for a glove. It examines topics as diverse as the facilitation of human interaction through workplace design and the improvement of virtual reality applications. Its 90 articles represent 24 countries on five continents.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Rough Sets and Emerging Intelligent Systems Paradigms, RSEISP 2007, held in Warsaw, Poland in June 2007 - dedicated to the memory of Professor Zdzislaw Pawlak. The 73 revised full papers papers presented together with 2 keynote lectures and 11 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on foundations of rough sets, foundations and applications of fuzzy sets, granular computing, algorithmic aspects of rough sets, rough set applications, rough/fuzzy approach, information systems and rough sets, data and text mining, machine learning, hybrid methods and applications, multiagent systems, applications in bioinformatics and medicine, multimedia applications, as well as web reasoning and human problem solving.
This volume contains research from the 10th International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning. The papers included in this volume form a collection of research from academics, policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders from across the globe who discuss the latest advances in the field. Problems related to development and planning, which affect rural and urban areas, are present in all regions of the world. Accelerated urbanisation has resulted in deterioration of the environment and loss of quality of life. Urban development can also aggravate problems faced by rural areas such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, amongst many others. Taking into considerat...
„Ta przeglądowa monografia jest książką trudną, nawet bardzo trudną. Niemniej jest ona istotnym wkładem w nowopowstającą dziedzinę filozofii, tj. topoontologię. Niewątpliwie wyzwaniem jest zmierzenie się z zaawansowanymi konstrukcjami, które przywołuje Bartłomiej Skowron. Nie waha się on balansować na granicy poznawalności. Kto jednak podejmie trud analizy owych problemów wraz z autorem, z pewnością dostrzeże, że zarówno koncepcje Skowrona, jak i dociekania omawianych przez niego krytycznie filozofów, rzucają nowe światło na wiele tradycyjnych problemów filozoficznych. Cierpliwość i wysiłek Czytelnika zaowocuje. Jestem tego pewien.” dr hab. Janusz Kaczmarek, prof.
