Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

In the face of resource depletion environmental changes lifestyle changes demographic and digital adaptation old ideologies of city building and expensive and complex automobility solutions are in freefall. These changes are creating severe friction between the old and new paradigms. This book provides new perspectives through the process of ideological disassociation and concepts of human mobility code. The basic premise of the book human mobility is an essential component of our creativity that comes from our unconscious desire to become a part of a community. Several new concepts in the book starts with the hallmark of new discovery of human mobility code and its implications of urban mobility boundary systems to stay within safe planetary zone. A new discovery of human mobility code from comprehensive research finding prove that each individual develops a unique mobility footprint and become our mobility identity. Beyond individual hallmarks human develops collective mobility codes through interaction with the third space on which entire mobility systems lie and are created by the fundamentals of city planning and the design process. Readers are introduced to an innovative mobility planning process and reinvention of multimodal mobility approaches based on new mobility code while formulating new concepts practical solutions and implementation techniques tools policies and processes to reinforce low-carbon mobility options while addressing social equity environmental and health benefits. Finally the book arms us with knowledge to prevent the disaster of full technological enlightenment against our natural human mobility code. | Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Despite the fact that crystals make up an estimated 80% of chemical and pharmaceutical products few resources exist that provide practical guidance on achieving precision control of their size and size distribution. Based on a model developed by the author and his colleagues Precision Crystallization: Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size presents scientists and product engineers with the tools to control crystal nucleation enabling them to ultimately control crystal size and size distribution for batch and continuous crystallizations. At the cutting edge of crystallization science and technology this volume presents information never before available. Introducing the Balanced Nucleation and Growth (BNG) model the book demonstrates how the results of the nucleation process are quantitatively related to practical experimental control values such as:reaction addition ratecrystal solubilitytemperatureresidence time (continuous crystallizations)the effect of ripening agents (crystal supersizing) during nucleationthe effect of crystal growth restrainers (crystal nanosizing) during nucleationcontrol of renucleationThe author shows how the BNG theory predicts previously unknown phenomena and also how it corrects erroneous perceptions of the importance of reaction volume on the outcome of crystal nucleation. Going above and beyond classical nucleation theories which rely to a large extent on guesswork the BNG model gives precise guidance to scientists working in a range of critical areas leading to promising implications for research quality control product development production processes pilot plant operations and manufacturing. | Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. Looking closely at the human blueprint it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this ‘junk’ code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our ‘junk code’ in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI. The book author Eve Poole received an OBE in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to education and gender equality. | Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Soil Liquefaction A Critical State Approach Second Edition

Soil Liquefaction A Critical State Approach Second Edition

A Rigorous and Definitive Guide to Soil LiquefactionSoil liquefaction occurs when soil loses much of its strength or stiffness for a time—usually a few minutes or less—and which may then cause structural failure financial loss and even death. It can occur during earthquakes from static loading or even from traffic-induced vibration. It occurs worldwide and affects soils ranging from gravels to silts. From Basic Physical Principles to Engineering PracticeSoil Liquefaction has become widely cited. It is built on the principle that liquefaction can and must be understood from mechanics. This second edition is developed from this premise in three respects: with the inclusion of silts and sandy silts commonly encountered as mine tailings by an extensive treatment of cyclic mobility and the cyclic simple shear test and through coverage from the element scale seen in laboratory testing to the evaluation of boundary value problems of civil and mining engineering. As a mechanics-based approach is necessarily numerical detailed derivations are provided for downloadable open-code software (in both Excel/VBA and C++) including code verifications and validations. The how-to-use aspects have been expanded as a result of many conversations with other engineers and these now cover the derivation of soil properties from laboratory testing through to assessing the in situ state by processing the results of cone penetration testing. Downloadable software is supplied on www. crcpress. com/product/isbn/9781482213683Includes derivations in detail so that the origin of the equations is apparent Provides samples of source code so that the reader can see how complex-looking differentials actually have pretty simple formOffers a computable constitutive model in accordance with established plast | Soil Liquefaction A Critical State Approach Second Edition
