Proceedings of AICCE'19
This book gathers the latest research, innovations, and applications in the field of civil engineering, as presented by leading national and international academics, researchers, engineers, and postgraduate students at the AWAM International Conference on Civil Engineering 2019 (AICCE’19), held in Penang, Malaysia on August 21-22, 2019. The book covers highly diverse topics in the main fields of civil engineering, including structural and earthquake engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, highway and transportation engineering, water resources engineering, and geomatic and construction management. In line with the conference theme, “Transforming the Nation for a Sustainable Tomorrow”, which relates to the United Nations’ 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development, it highlights important elements in the planning and development stages to establish design standards beneficial to the environment and its surroundings. The contributions introduce numerous exciting ideas that spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations between various specialists in the field of civil engineering.
Revista Trabalhista: Direito e Processo N.63
A Revista Trabalhista de Direito e Processo do Trabalho, organizada pela ANAMATRA — Associação Nacional dos Magistrados da Justiça do Trabalho em parceria com a LTr Editora, trata nesta edição sobre o tema previamente escolhido para o 20o CONAMAT — Congresso Nacional dos Magistrados da Justiça do Trabalho, maior e mais importante evento voltado aos associados (as), que além de temas jurídicos, discute a política associativa e direciona a atividade institucional da entidade. Em razão do agravamento da pandemia da Covid-19, o evento teve que ser cancelado e retomará o seu calendário normal em 2022. Apesar do exposto, o tema que seria tratado na edição de 2020 permanece altame...
Direito Rural do Trabalho para o Século XXI
O livro DIREITO RURAL DO TRABALHO PARA O SÉCULO XXI: Interfaces e Conexões com os Direitos Ambiental e Agrário se originou da parceria entre o Grupo de Pesquisa A Transformação do Direito do Trabalho na Sociedade Pós-moderna e seus Reflexos no Mundo do Trabalho (GEDTRAB) – Subgrupo Trabalho Rural da Faculdade de Direito de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (FDRP-USP) e o Grupo de Pesquisa Reformas Trabalhistas e os Retrocessos no Mundo do Trabalho: Perspectivas para a América Latina da Faculdade de Direito (FADIR) da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) que realizaram estudos e debates conjuntos sobre o Direito Rural do Trabalho e as relações jurídicas de trabalh...
Compressibility of Sandstones
This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for example, due to withdrawal of fluid from a reservoir, or due to the redistribution of stresses caused by the drilling of a borehole. Although the emphasis is on reservoir-type sandstones, results and methods discussed are also applicable to other porous rocks.Part One concerns the effect of stress on deformation and discusses porous rock compressibility coefficients. Elasticity theory is used to derive relationships between the porous rock compressibility coefficients, the porosity, and the mineral grain compr...
The Roman Banquet
Dining was an important social occasion in the classical world. Scenes of drinking and dining decorate the wall paintings and mosaic pavements of many Roman houses. They are also painted in tombs and carved in relief on sarcophagi and on innumerable smaller grave monuments. Drawing frequently upon ancient literature inscriptions as well as archaeological evidence, this book examines the visual and material evidence for dining through Roman antiquity. Richly illustrated, Roman Banqueting offers the fullest and varied picture of the role of the banquet in Roman life.
Car Safety Wars
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
Industrial Green Chemistry
The editors and authors, with backgrounds in academia and industry, tie together recent and established technologies for the upcoming change to sustainable industrial chemistry. The extensive worldwide activities towards that goal are exemplified with a series of green processes. Some of these processes are already commercially applied (squalene to squalane, hydraulic fluids from vegetable oils, biosourced polycarbonates), others are ready for a large scale implementation (glycerol to acrylic acid, biosourced acrylonitrile and levulinic acid, polyamides from fatty nitriles-esters hydrogenation, butadiene from bioethanol) or are being developed (cyclic carbonates from epoxides, selective pyrolysis of biomass). This book is an indispensable source for the researchers and professionals who work for a greener chemical industry. The chapters have been arranged to guide students through the design of new processes for more sustainable chemistry, using case studies as examples.
Ubiquitous Music
This is the first monograph dedicated to this interdisciplinary research area, combining the views of music, computer science, education, creativity studies, psychology, and engineering. The contributions include introductions to ubiquitous music research, featuring theory, applications, and technological development, and descriptions of permanent community initiatives such as virtual forums, multi-institutional research projects, and collaborative publications. The book will be of value to researchers and educators in all domains engaged with creativity, computing, music, and digital arts.
No Accident
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
The SEED of GOD
The Seed of God is a book of transformation and change, with a simple message of motivation and spirituality that excites and assists us to find ways to happiness and the realization of our dreams.
