Author: Bruce R. Sutherland | Size: 10 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 394 | ISBN: 9780521839150
The study of internal gravity waves provides many challenges: they move along interfaces as well as in fully three-dimensional space, at relatively fast temporal and small spatial scales, making them difficult to observe and resolve in weather and climate models. Solving the equations describing their evolution poses various mathematical challenges associated with singular boundary value problems and large amplitude dynamics. This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the theory for small and large amplitude internal gravity waves. Over 120 schematics, numerical simulations and laboratory images illustrate the theory and mathematical techniques, and 130 exercises enable the reader to apply their understanding of the theory. This is an invaluable single resource for academic researchers and graduate students studying the motion of waves within the atmosphere and ocean, and also mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in the properties of propagating, growing and breaking waves.
A History of Architectural Conservation expands knowledge about the conservation of ancient monuments, works of art and historic buildings. It includes the origins of the interest in conservation within the European context, and the development of the concepts from Antiquity and the Renaissance to the present day. Jokilehto illustrates how this development has influenced international collaboration in the protection and conservation of cultural heritage, and how it has formed the principal concepts and approach to conservation and restoration in today's multi-cultural society.
This book is based on archival research of original documents and the study of key restoration examples in countries that have influenced the international conservation movement. Accessible and of great interest to students and the general public it includes conservation trends in Europe, the USA, India, Iran and Japan.
* Uses world-wide examples to give a complete overview of the modern approach to conservation and restoration
* Provides a thorough explanation of the development of the concepts of conservation from traditional to modern society
* Learn from the knowledge of this experienced and well respected author

Urban Design: A typology of Procedures and Products.
Illustrated with 50 Case Studies
Urban Design provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to urban design, presenting a 3 dimensional model with which to categorise the processes and products involved. It not only defines the subject, but also considers the future direction of the field and what can be learned from the past. 50 international case studies demonstrate the variety of urban design efforts that have occurred in recent history.
* Enables students and professionals to understand the meaning of urban design by presenting an analysis of case studies from the past 5 decades.
* Illustrates how urban design guidelines and processes have been used in a broad range of projects around the world.
* Helps architects and planners to define their goals and to confidently predict design outcomes.

DETERMINISTIC VS. PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT: AN EXAGGERATED AND OBSTRUCTIVE DICHOTOMY
About the author:
This very useful article is written by Professor Julian J. Bommer from Imperial College, UK. Authored and co-authored more than 100 publications in scientific journals, international conferences, book chapters and technical reports. He is a member of Editorial Boards of Engineering Geology and Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering; and formerly a member of Editorial Board of Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. He is a member of Project Team PT1 for drafting and update of Part 1 of Eurocode 8 on seismic actions for design.
Abstract:
Deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment are frequently represented as irreconcilably di erent approaches to the problem of calculating earthquake ground motions for design, each method fervently defended by its proponents. This situation often gives the impression that the selection of either a deterministic or a probabilistic approach is the most fundamental choice in performing a seismic hazard assessment. The dichotomy between the two approaches is not as pronounced as often implied and there are many examples of hazard assessments combining elements of both methods. Insistence on the fundamental division between the deterministic and probabilistic approaches is an obstacle to the development of the most appropriate method of assessment in a particular case. It is neither possible nor useful to establish an approach to seismic hazard assessment that will be the ideal tool for all situations. The approach in each study should be chosen according to the nature of the project and also be calibrated to the seismicity of the region under study, including the quantity and quality of the data available to characterise the seismicity. Seismic hazard assessment should continue to evolve, unfettered by almost ideological allegiance to particular approaches, with the understanding of earthquake processes.
