Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

The word conservation when used in the context of the preservation of built heritage implies an intrinsically complex concept that evolved over time since it has been influenced by the perception of history throughout time. This volume emphasises why an understanding of the cultural evolution of the conservation approach must be considered a prerequisite for architects and engineers if they are to cooperate in full harmony with historic-artistic culture for the preservation of global built heritage. In particular the volume highlights how during the second half of the last century the preservation process also involved engineering – the science of making practical applications of knowledge – which for a long time made an uncritical use of techniques and materials and devised interventions on historical heritage that were heavily invasive. The volume also devotes special attention to the problems related to seismic risk to which Italy Greece and Portugal are particularly prone. Problems that emerge during the crisis and reconstruction phases are dealt with in detail as is scheduled maintenance as this latter approach always constitutes an improvement in the performance of the monument and is the most appropriate tool for the conservation of the built heritage. Finally the volume collects examples of building restoration with case studies of many outstanding monuments. The work will appeal to professionals and academics in the broader fields of civil engineering (both geotechnical and structural engineering) architecture art history the history of architecture restoration and cultural heritage management. This book will: Provide a critical reading of the history of conservation; Discuss materials and techniques of ancient architecture; Cover seismic vulnerability and preservation of the historic integrity of the monument; Advocate an approach based on programmed maintenance; Feature numerous case histories including St Mark’s Basilica in Venice and the complex restoration of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. | Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage A History of Conservation Culture and its More Recent Developments

Analytic Combinatorics A Multidimensional Approach

Analytic Combinatorics A Multidimensional Approach

Analytic Combinatorics: A Multidimensional Approach is written in a reader-friendly fashion to better facilitate the understanding of the subject. Naturally it is a firm introduction to the concept of analytic combinatorics and is a valuable tool to help readers better understand the structure and large-scale behavior of discrete objects. Primarily the textbook is a gateway to the interactions between complex analysis and combinatorics. The study will lead readers through connections to number theory algebraic geometry probability and formal language theory. The textbook starts by discussing objects that can be enumerated using generating functions such as tree classes and lattice walks. It also introduces multivariate generating functions including the topics of the kernel method and diagonal constructions. The second part explains methods of counting these objects which involves deep mathematics coming from outside combinatorics such as complex analysis and geometry. Features Written with combinatorics-centric exposition to illustrate advanced analytic techniques Each chapter includes problems exercises and reviews of the material discussed in them Includes a comprehensive glossary as well as lists of figures and symbols About the author Marni Mishna is a professor of mathematics at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. Her research investigates interactions between discrete structures and many diverse areas such as representation theory functional equation theory and algebraic geometry. Her specialty is the development of analytic tools to study the large-scale behavior of discrete objects. | Analytic Combinatorics A Multidimensional Approach

Rock Fall Engineering

Rock Fall Engineering

Rock falls can be a public safety issue. This book provides comprehensive information on identification of these hazards and design and construction of protection methods. Rock Fall Engineering describes first the theoretical background to rock fall behavior in terms of the impact and trajectory phases of rock falls and second how this information is applied to modeling of rock falls and the design of ditches fences and sheds. The theory of rock fall behavior is verified by comparing the calculations with five carefully documented case studies. The book covers four main topics as follows: Describes causes of rock falls including geology climate and topography and provides detailed documentation on rock fall impacts and trajectories at five sites with a wide variety of topographic and geologic features Discusses theory of impact mechanics and its application to velocity and energy changes during impacts and trajectories Reviews methods of modeling rock fall events and presents analyses for the five case studies Examines rock fall protection in terms of selecting appropriate method(s) for site conditions and design principles in which the objective is to absorb impact energy in an efficient manner This book which contains many worked examples is of interest to practitioners and researchers working in the fields of geological engineering and natural hazards. Duncan C. Wyllie is a principal with Wyllie & Norrish Rock Engineers in Vancouver Canada and a registered professional engineer in British Columbia. He has worked on rock fall hazard projects involving the design and construction protection measures since the 1970s. He is the author of Foundations on Rock Second Edition and Rock Slope Engineering Fourth Edition both published by CRC Press.

LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization

LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization

NB-IoT is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology used for cellular communication. NB-IoT devices deliver much better capability and performance such as: increased area coverage of up to one kilometer; a massive number of devices—up to 200 000—per a single base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal such as underground garages. The cellular NB-IoT technology is a challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30 projects presented in this book covering many use cases and scenarios this book provides hands-on and practical experience of how to use the cellular NB-IoT for smart applications using Arduino™ Amazon Cloud Google Maps and charts. The book starts by explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-IoT modem; data serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for connecting NB-IoT devices; setting up rules policy security certificates and a NoSQL database on the cloud; how to store and read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-IoT device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor datasets. Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile operator and cellular network; perform communication using different network protocols such as TCP HTTP SSL or MQTT; how to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-IoT modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects such as a 7-segment display or a real-time clock. The third part explains how NB-IoT can be used with sensor devices such as ultrasonic and environmental sensors. Finally the fourth part explains how NB-IoT can be used to control actuators such as stepper motors and relays.
