Ivan Vanicek, Martin Vanicek, “Earth Structures: in Transport, Water and Environmental Engineering”
Springer | 2008-07 | ISBN: 1402039638 | 638 pages | PDF | 84,5 MB
Soil represents the oldest and most used building material. Current paradox is that up to now this subject of Earth structures was not fully covered. This book describes the principles of soil workability as construction material including two basic forms of its treatment using geosynthetics and stabilization. It describes logics of design and control of Earth structures that significantly differ from other building materials, which brings more uncertainty and risk. Therefore Earth structures are still offering wider space for detailing the design and improvement of financial calculations quality.

Following the general part, where the principles of limit states according to Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical design are also described in more detail, the book concentrates on earth structures of transport, water and environmental projects. The parts devoted to transport projects covers in more details limit states of stability and deformation. The part devoted to water engineering prioritizes the limit state of internal erosion. The part regarding earth structures of environmental structures describes new phenomenon where part of the structure is created from non standard materials, usually susceptible to internal collapse, double porosity, unsaturation, etc. It also concentrates on protection of the surrounding from contamination.




The book focuses on the principles, logic of processes, understanding of the most important problems, so that all participants of the construction (client, designer, contractor and supervisor) are able to build these earth structures more safely and economically.

The corporation is profoundly different than it was a 100 years ago – a vehicle created to acquire and manage enough capital so that owners could build the hardware to run a plant and to maintain a manufacturing operation. A contemporary corporation is a way of harnessing and focusing human capital. It is capable for people with smart ideas, who know how to innovate and run things. It is about people, and a network of people. Individual corporations are powerful because of their alliances.When there is a question or concern, people expect responsiveness from the corporation, and speed and transparency in its communications.

Fundamentals of Production Logistics: Theory, Tools and Applications
Publisher: Springer | 312 pages | November 1, 2008 | ISBN 3540342109 | PDF | 20 MB
This book comprehensively encapsulates for the first time the fundamentals of modeling Logistic Operating Curves for production and storage processes including how they can be derived and calculated based on standard operating data. In doing so, the authors clearly demonstrate the mutual dependencies between the often contradictory logistic objectives, i.e. on the one hand low throughput times and high delivery reliability and on the other hand low WIP levels and high rates of utilization. Moreover, they also explain how these objectives can be improved using the Logistic Operating Curve Theory and why this method thus provides an interesting alternative to simulations.

Dielectric Elastomers as Electromechanical Transducers: Fundamentals, Materials, Devices, Models and Applications of an Emerging Electroactive Polymer Technology
Publisher: Elsevier Science | 344 pages | March 10, 2008 | ISBN 0080474888 | PDF | 8 MB
This book provides a comprehensive and updated insight into dielectric elastomers; one of the most promising classes of polymer-based smart materials and technologies. This technology can be used in a very broad range of applications, from robotics and automation to the biomedical field.

The need for improved transducer performance has resulted in considerable efforts towards the development of devices relying on materials with intrinsic transduction properties. These materials, often termed as "smart" or "intelligent", include improved piezoelectrics and magnetostrictive or shape-memory materials. Emerging electromechanical transduction technologies, based on so-called ElectroActive Polymers (EAP), have gained considerable attention. EAP offer the potential for performance exceeding other smart materials, while retaining the cost and versatility inherent to polymer materials. Within the EAP family, "dielectric elastomers", are of particular interest as they show good overall performance, simplicity of structure and robustness. Dielectric elastomer transducers are rapidly emerging as high-performance "pseudo-muscular" actuators, useful for different kinds of tasks. Further, in addition to actuation, dielectric elastomers have also been shown to offer unique possibilities for improved generator and sensing devices.

Federico Bermudez-Rattoni "Neural Plasticity and Memory: From Genes to Brain Imaging (Frontiers in Neuroscience)"
CRC | 2007-04-17 | ISBN: 0849390702 | 368 pages | PDF | 6 MB
A comprehensive, multidisciplinary review, Neural Plasticity and Memory: From Genes to Brain Imaging provides an in-depth, up-to-date analysis of the study of the neurobiology of memory. Leading specialists share their scientific experience in the field, covering a wide range of topics where molecular, genetic, behavioral, and brain imaging techniques have been used to investigate how cellular and brain circuits may be modified by experience. In each chapter, researchers present findings and explain their innovative methodologies. The book begins by introducing key issues and providing a historical overview of the field of memory consolidation. The following chapters review the putative genetic and molecular mechanisms of cell plasticity, elaborating on how experience could induce gene and protein expression and describing their role in synaptic plasticity underlying memory formation. They explore how putative modifications of brain circuits and synaptic elements through experience can become relatively permanent and hence improve brain function. Interdisciplinary reviews focus on how nerve cell circuitry, molecular expression, neurotransmitter release, and electrical activity are modified during the acquisition and consolidation of long-term memory. The book also covers receptor activation/deactivation by different neurotransmitters that enable the intracellular activation of second messengers during memory formation. It concludes with a summary of current research on the modulation and regulation that different neurotransmitters and stress hormones have on formation and consolidation of memory.

Free radicals are molecules with an unpaired electron in the outer shell or an electron that was damaged from either attack or from a poor splitting bond. After a free radical is formed they will continue to attack other molecules, which usually results in the damage of tissue or destruction of a healthy cell. Free radicals arise normally through metabolism, however sometimes the body’s immune system will create them on purpose to neutralize viruses and bacteria. Free radicals are implicates in many ophthalmic disorders including uveitis, optic nerve damage, retinal ischemia, and macular degeneration. Free Radicals in Ophthalmic Disorders presents the most current knowledge pertaining to the role of free radicals/oxidants in ocular disorders, and the use of antioxidants in the prevention of these disorders
