Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.
Aquesta Carpeta Docent s'elabora dins del marc del Títol Propi d' Especialista Universitari en Pedagogia Universitària (EUPU), ofertat per el Institut de Ciències de l'Educació (ICE) de la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).L'objecte del EUPU és contribuir a la professionalització de la docència dels professors de la UPV. La professionalització de la docència suposa una sèrie de desafiaments. La Carpeta Docent es presenta com una oportunitat per a afrontar, des de la reflexió sobre què és per a mi la docència, què faig, per què ho faig, cóm ho faig, cóm ho valoren els alumnes, etc., aquells desafiaments.
Jaume Monfort i Signes és professor associat al departament de construccions arquitectòniques de la UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA (UPV). Durant el curs acadèmic 2011_12 va obtenir el títol d'ESPECIALISTA UNIVERSITARI EN PEDAGOGIA UNIVERSITÀRIA (EUPU) per aquesta universitat. La carpeta docent recull tota la tasca desenvolupada durant el curs amb la finalitat de millorar la seua pràctica docent. Des de les avaluacions inicials per conèixer el punt de partida, passant pels esforços realitzats i així com el balanç dels resultats aconseguits. NOTA: Edició en B/N.
Malliavin Calculus in Finance: Theory and Practice aims to introduce the study of stochastic volatility (SV) models via Malliavin Calculus. Malliavin calculus has had a profound impact on stochastic analysis. Originally motivated by the study of the existence of smooth densities of certain random variables, it has proved to be a useful tool in many other problems. In particular, it has found applications in quantitative finance, as in the computation of hedging strategies or the efficient estimation of the Greeks. The objective of this book is to offer a bridge between theory and practice. It shows that Malliavin calculus is an easy-to-apply tool that allows us to recover, unify, and general...
The IWA Performance Indicator System for water services is now recognized as a worldwide reference. Since it first appearance in 2000, the system has been widely quoted, adapted and used in a large number of projects both for internal performance assessment and metric benchmarking. Water professionals have benefited from a coherent and flexible system, with precise and detailed definitions that in many cases have become a standard. The system has proven to be adaptable and it has been used in very different contexts for diverse purposes. The Performance Indicators System can be used in any organization regardless of its size, nature (public, private, etc.) or degree of complexity and develop...

Social Cognition in Psychosis combines current research on phenotypes, neurobiology, and existing evidence on the assessment and treatment of various forms of psychoses. The book presents various treatment options, including assessment approaches, tools and training methods that aid in the rehabilitation of patients with psychotic disorders. Social cognition is a set of psychological processes related to understanding, recognizing, processing and appropriately using social stimuli in one's environment. Individuals with psychotic disorders consistently exhibit impairments in social cognition. As a result, social cognition has been an important target for intervention, with recent efforts trying to enhance early recovery among individuals with psychotic disorders.
In recent years, building information modeling has become a very active research area of construction informatics with investigation of ICT use within construction industry processes and organizations. The Handbook of Research on Building Information Modeling and Construction Informatics: Concepts and Technologies addresses the problems related to information integration and interoperability throughout the lifecycle of a building, from feasibility and conceptual design through to demolition and recycling stages. Containing research from leading international experts, this Handbook of Research provides comprehensive coverage and definitions of the most important issues, concepts, trends, and technologies within the field.
