Human Interface and the Management of Information
The three-volume set LNCS 8016, 8017, and 8018 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2013, held in Las Vegas, NV, USA in July 2013. The total of 1666 papers and 303 posters presented at the HCII 2013 conferences was carefully reviewed and selected from 5210 submissions. These papers address the latest research and development efforts and highlight the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer Interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. This volume contains papers in the thematic area of human interface and the management of Information, addressing the following major topics: learning, education and skills transfer, art and cultural heritage, collaborative work, business integration and decision support.
The Foundation Engineering Handbook
Considering how structures interact with soil, and building proper foundations, is vital to ensuring public safety and to the longevity of buildings. Understanding the strength and compressibility of subsurface soil is essential to the foundation engineer.

The Foundation Engineering Handbook, Second Edition
Considering how structures interact with soil, and building proper foundations, is vital to ensuring public safety and to the longevity of buildings. Understanding the strength and compressibility of subsurface soil is essential to the foundation engineer. The Foundation Engineering Handbook, Second Edition provides the fundamentals of foundation engineering needed by professional engineers and engineering students. It presents both classical and state-of-the-art design and analysis techniques for earthen structures and examines the principles and design methods of foundation engineering needed for design of building foundations, embankments, and earth retaining structures. It covers basic s...
Monotonic, Cyclic and Postcyclic Shear Behavior of Low-plasticity Silt
This book gathers the main research findings on monotonic, cyclic and postcyclic shear behavior of low-plasticity. Drawing on the low-plasticity silt from the Mississippi River Valley, it determines that the silt’s critical state line can be changed due to liquefaction, and thus offers valuable insights and reference data for further investigations on soil mechanics and engineering applications to verify the above research findings. Low-plasticity silt with a plasticity index of less than 10, though commonly found around the world, nonetheless differs greatly from sand and clay in terms of its shear behavior. Failure to take into account the differences in shear characteristics between silt, clay and sand will lead to overconservative designs of offshore structures. In particular, dynamic loading from earthquakes, trains and ocean waves can set off the liquefaction of low-plasticity silt, and with it, major disasters and losses of properties. Additionally, some civil infrastructures have failed not only due to cyclic loading during an earthquake, but also due to reduction of shear strength or stiffness after that.
Bevölkerung als Problem?
Die Sorge um das Bevölkerungswachstum in der »Dritten Welt« setzte ab den 1950er Jahren weltweit Menschen, Institutionen und Gelder in Bewegung. Familienplanung war die neue entwicklungspolitische Lösungsformel, mit deren Hilfe »unterentwickelte« Länder in die Moderne geführt werden sollten. Annika Hartmann untersucht die teils erbittert geführten Auseinandersetzungen um Bevölkerung und deren Regulierung in Guatemala, wo Familienplanungsprogramme schon früh als misslungen galten. Indem sie das »Narrativ des Scheiterns« historisiert, liefert sie ein vielschichtiges, nuanciertes Bild einer transnational verflochtenen Familienplanungsbewegung und deren Wirken in einem gesellschaftlich wie ethnisch tief gespaltenen Land.
Encyclopedia of Technological Hazards and Disasters in the Social Sciences
The Encyclopedia of Technological Hazards and Disasters in the Social Sciences brings together an array of global experts to investigate, explore and analyse human-caused disaster events. Providing insights into both the origins and aftermaths of disaster events, it offers advanced understanding of a broad range of disaster events facing society during the Anthropocene.
