Understanding Construction Drawings is intended for students in construction programs in two-year and four-year colleges and technical institutes, as well as apprentice training. Designed for a course in print reading focused on both residential and commercial construction, the book helps you learn to read the drawings that are used to communicate information about buildings. It includes drawings for buildings that were designed for construction in several parts of North America. The diversity of building classifications and geographic locations ensures that you are ready to work on construction jobs anywhere in the industry. Everyone who works in building construction should be able to read and understand the drawings of the major trades.

"Eco-Urban Design" focuses on the unprecedented challenges currently faced by architects and designers. In a world where climate change, diminishing natural resources and an increasing global population have become indisputable facts of life there is now a rising demand for evolved buildings that no longer endanger the Earth's fragile ecological systems.
This book endeavours to tell the positive side of the story by featuring considered design solutions provided by the world's most innovative architects and engineers. By only including realised projects which have been subjected to post construction monitoring this publication provides evidence-based information that measured reductions in carbon emissions, water and energy usage can actually be achieved in the field and not just on the drawing board.
These completed projects demonstrate best practice and will inspire a new hybrid generation of designers who will combine architecture and engineering skills to resolve a key environmental challenge. Furthermore, these creative construction projects from a variety of genres including, commercial property, public buildings, social housing and private homes give testimony to the fact that investment in green

I have found a problem recently when our forum changed from "www.forum.civilea.com" to "www.civilea.com", our links in the search area still refer to "www.forum.civilea.com/..." which are not found by internet browsers with the 404 Not Found error (Is there anyone got the same problem?). I have to delete the "forum." phrase in the address bar in order to move to where the links transfer. It is inconvenient, isn't it!!!
Could you please take a look and correct it so that our page can be used normally. Correct me if i am wrong!
Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the 'programming concept' and the 'power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications.

THE CHANGING EARTH, a leader in the Introductory Geology course, is the only text specifically written for the combined physical and historical geology course. The Fourth Edition's content is based on the best-selling texts PHYSICAL GEOLOGY: EXPLORING THE EARTH and HISTORICAL GEOLOGY: EVOLUTION OF EARTH AND LIFE THROUGH TIME, both written by James Monroe and Reed Wicander. Briefer than the previous edition and maintaining a consistent and clear writing style throughout, the text provides a balanced coverage of physical and historical geology with engaging, real-life examples that draw students into the material.
Examples in the Fourth Edition include new two-page art spreads, new paleogeographic maps, and "Geology in Unexpected Places"-a favorite feature from PHYSICAL GEOLOGY: EXPLORING THE EARTH, Fifth Edition. Known for its competitive and robust ancillary package, the Fourth Edition now features GeologyNow, the first assessment-centered student tutorial technology developed for the Geology market. The seamless integration of GeologyNow with chapter concepts emphasizes the connections between the content and students' own lives, through visual 3-D animations and chapter quizzes, helping students develop a greater appreciation for geology.

The tremendous developments that continue to evolve in the field of information communication technology (ICT) are affecting nearly all aspects of human lives. Mobile phones currently support many applications and deliver services that go well beyond basic voice communication. Wireless sensor networks with ubiquitous embedded processors can sense various parameters and generate the appropriate responses. These are some examples of systems that are being driven by advancements in ICT. Another important ICT driven field is the smart home. This field has been the subject of concerted research effort for some time and is beginning to develop practical products for a market that is expected to grow substantially in the relatively near future.
Smart homes are intelligent environments that interact dynamically and respond readily in an adaptive manner to the needs of the occupants and changes in the ambient conditions. The realization of systems that support the smart homes concept requires the integration of technologies from different fields. Among the challenges that the designers face is to make all the components of the system interact in a seamless, reliable and secure manner. Another major challenge is to design the smart home in a way that takes into account the way humans live and interact. This later aspect requires input from the humanities and social sciences fields. The need for input from diverse fields of knowledge reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the research and development effort required to realize smart homes that are acceptable to the general public.
The applications that can be supported by a smart home are very wide and their degree of sophistication depends on the underlying technology used. Some of the application areas include monitoring and control of appliances, security, telemedicine, entertainment, location based services, care for children and the elderly… etc.

Author: Pei-Gee Peter Ho | Size: 91 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2009 | pages: 598 | ISBN: 9789533070032
This book covers latest and futuristic developments in remote sensing novel theory and applications by numerous scholars, researchers and experts. It is organized into 26 excellent chapters which include optical and infrared modeling, microwave scattering propagation, forests and vegetation, soils, ocean temperature, geographic information , object classification, data mining, image processing, passive optical sensor, multispectral and hyperspectral sensing, lidar, radiometer instruments, calibration, active microwave and SAR processing. With rapid technological advances in both sensors and computing, signal processing and image processing are playing increasingly important roles in remote sensing. In chapter 15, 16 and 21, the state of the art Kernel Learning Machine method, Support Vector Machine and Maximum A Posteriori statistical classification schemes are presented. The use of electromagnetic waves for remote sensing can be separated into active and passive remote sensing. Active remote sensing utilizes an external source to irradiate the object or phenomena. The interaction of the object and radiation is used to extract information about the object. Most active remote sensors such as radars operate at the microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. On the other hand, the optical systems such as lidars are getting more commonly use. In passive remote sensing, the natural radiation properties of the object are utilized to extract information. Sensors that handle illumination from sunlight are generally categorized as passive sensors. They cover the entire electromagnetic spectrum from microwave frequencies to the visible region and beyond. Due to the fact that the strength of natural sources is weak, passive sensors require very sensitive detectors as compared with active sensors. Chapter 4, 12, 13, 18, 20, 25 and 26 contain detailed contents of these particular active/passive sensors’ new technologies. In chapter 14, the important and newer remote sensing techniques for land cover change detection are introduced. Nevertheless, in chapter 3, the development of the high resolution wireless sensor network for monitoring volcanic activity is very well introduced.
