Smart Cities in the Gulf
In this edited volume, academics and practitioners from various disciplines investigate the challenges, opportunities and frameworks in the implementation of Smart Cities in the Gulf.The volume presents insightful analyses and identifies key lessons learned through case studies covering four main themes including smart city frameworks and governance, resources and infrastructure, information and communication technologies, and the social perspective. In doing so, the book provides policy recommendations related to smart governance, as well as overall frameworks that cities can adopt in their process of transition, and knowledge that is integral to bridge the gap between various stakeholders in the Smart City milieu. This edited volume comprises extended versions of papers presented at a workshop held at the University of Cambridge, UK titled “Smart Cities in the GCC: Current State, Opportunities and Challenges.”
The Emerald Handbook of Smart Cities in the Gulf Region
This definitive reference edition uniquely integrates urban planning, advanced computational, and government policy-making aspects, with a focus on disseminating the momentum of Smart Cities Research in the Gulf Region.

Allah An introduction
In this book, a brief introduction has been given about Allah ie God. The extent of man is only subtle. It is not so easy to know and understand Allah, because man imagines on the basis of what he has got. How do you like this book? Please let me know if you have any more knowledge. Thank you, Also available in paperback version. Yours -- Abdul Waheed, Barabanki, UP, India.
Mechcomp3
The use of composite materials has grown exponentially in the last decades and has affected many engineering fields due to their enhanced mechanical properties and improved features with respect to conventional materials. For instance, they are employed in civil engineering (seismic isolators, long-span bridges, vaults), mechanical engineering (turbines, machine components), aerospace and naval engineering (fuselages, boat hulls and sails), automotive engineering (car bodies, tires), and biomechanical engineering (prostheses).Nevertheless, the greater use of composites requires a rapid progress in gaining the needed knowledge to design and manufacture composite structures. Thus, researchers ...
Environmentally Benign Machining
This book provides essential information on environmentally benign/sustainable machining processes including innovations and developments in conventional machining, considering economy, safety, and productivity. Developments in machine tools, recent research on green lubricants and lubrication techniques, process hybridization, and the role of optimization techniques are discussed. Green machining of difficult-to-machine materials and composites is also explained with attempts towards making electric discharge and electrochemical machining technologies. Features: Covers up to date and latest information on environmentally benign machining technologies. Includes current approaches regarding t...

The Foreign Policy of Smaller Gulf States
This book studies how smaller Gulf states managed to increase their influence in the Middle East, oftentimes capitalising on their smallness as a foreign policy tool. By establishing a novel theoretical framework (the complex model of size), this study identifies specific ways in which material and perceptual smallness affect power, identity, regime stability, and leverage in international politics. The small states of the Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates) managed to build up considerable influence in regional politics over the last decade, although their size is still considered an essential, irresolvable weakness, which makes them secondary actors to great p...
