This book explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on material science and construction practices in the Industry 4.0 landscape. It enquires into AI history and applications, examining material optimization, smart materials, and AI in construction. Covering automation, robotics, and AI-assisted design, the book provides insights into ethical considerations and future trends. A modern reference for scholars and professionals, it bridges academia and practical applications in the dynamic intersection of AI and materials science.
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are mechanisms for monitoring and controlling processes using computer-based algorithms. In the construction industry, CPSs help to increase the viability of construction projects by reducing costs, time and management effort. This book aims to develop the fundamental concepts of construction project management associated with the CPSs and their applications within the modern construction industry in alignment with the scope of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0). The book has been structured in a systematic way for easy understanding by construction industry researchers and academic faculty. The first part of the book helps readers to develop a basic under...
This paper compares the effects of aggregate and sectoral public investments on sectoral private investment, output, and employment. We estimate the elasticities of private investment with respect to aggregate and sectoral public investments to find crowding-out or crowding-in phenomena in Pakistan. The study also reveals the changes in labor absorption or replacement due to additional capital and the effects on output. Our data covers eight sectors of the Pakistan economy and uses annual time series data from 1964 to 2011. This study uses vector autoregressive (VAR) techniques, as applied by Pereira (2000, 2001), which allows measuring the dynamic feedback effects among the variables.
Taxes are the major revenues for a country that are collected from citizens, companies, investors, and so on to generate the economy. In today's global society, redistribution mechanisms are necessary due to the fulfillment of core state obligations. The necessity of their financing, where taxes often make up the largest portion of state budget income, also affects government spending as the fundamental weapon of economic policy. Regardless of the prevailing economic system, tax income is a crucial tool for the government to meet budgeted expenditures and aids in achieving established growth targets over time. The type of direct or indirect taxes that are now in place in an economy might aid in predicting a growth pattern for future planning and policy execution. Over the years, economists have been curious to learn what influences different nations' rates of economic growth and levels of wealth accumulation. This book provides stronger policy implications and recommendations to the country's revenue authority, accelerating economic growth and fostering a greater understanding of the role that taxes play in growth.
The field of `science and religion' is exploding in popularity among both academics and the reading public. This is a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the debate, written by the leading experts yet accessible to the general reader.
Mankind must certainly be tired of the misfortunes, misadventures, and turmoil in the world. A study of world events offers a frame of perspective for overcoming our troubles. If man studies past history and events, he will see how the Lord his creator dealt with earlier civilizations that disobeyed Him. If those civilizations never attained peace and prosperity on their own accord, present civilizations will also never attain that goal after disobeying the Lord. As a physician, Dr. Mustapha believes that man has no alternative to peace, progress, and his needs without going to back to his base of innocence, and offering complete obedience to his Lord of the universe who created him. The law...
