Maurice Schwartz, Editor of the much acclaimed Encyclopedia of Beaches and Coastal Environments (Hutchinson Ross, 1982) has now brought forth a new volume with a fresh interdisciplinary approach that includes geomorphology, ecology, engineering, technology, oceanography, and human activities as they relate to coasts. Within its covers the Encyclopedia of Coastal Science includes many aspects of the coastal sciences that are only to be found scattered among scientific literature.

MATLAB is used in a wide range of applications in geosciences, such as image processing in remote sensing, generation and processing of digital elevation models and the analysis of time series. This book introduces basic methods of data analysis in geosciences using MATLAB. The text includes a brief description of each method and numerous examples demonstrating how MATLAB can be used on data sets from earth sciences. All MATLAB recipes can be easily modified in order to analyse the reader's own data sets.
This book introduces some of the most important methods of data analysis in earth sciences by means of MATLAB examples. The examples can be used as recipes for the analysis of the reader as real data after learning their application on synthetic data. The introductory Chapter 1 deals with data acquisition (Chapter 1.2), the expected data types (Chapter 1.3) and the suitable methods for analyzing data in the field of earth sciences (Chapter 1.4). Therefore, we first explore the characteristics of a typical data set. Subsequently, we proceed to investigate the various ways of analyzing data with MATLAB.

Features
Provides a structure to support architecture in the enterprise that benefits all stakeholders
Summarizes the current state of "architectural chaos" that separates IT from business goals
Provides a framework for aligning technology with business needs
Explains the Strategic, Conceptual, and Execution framework components that enable project success
Includes an LEA Artifacts guide
Illustrates key symptoms of dysfunctional enterprise architecture
Summary
The author developed Lightweight Enterprise Architecture (LEA) to enable a quick alignment of technology to business strategy. LEA's simple and effective framework makes it useful to a wide audience of users throughout an enterprise, coordinating resources for business requirements and facilitating optimal adoption of technology.
Lightweight Enterprise Architectures provides a methodology and philosophy that organizations can easily adopt, resulting in immediate value-add without the pitfalls of traditional architectural styles. This systematic approach uses the right balance of tools and techniques to help an enterprise successfully develop its architecture.
The first section of the text focuses on how enterprises deploy architecture and how architecture is an evolving discipline. The second section introduces LEA, detailing a structure that supports architecture and benefits all stakeholders. The book concludes by explaining the approach needed to put the framework into practice, analyzing deployment issues and how the architecture is involved throughout the lifecycle of technology projects and systems.
This innovative resource tool provides you with a simpler, easily executable architecture, the ability to embrace a complex environment, and a framework to measure and control technology at the enterprise level.

Eleven peer-reviewed papers focus on new adhesives, particularly from the perspective of the newer test methods emerging to better determine adhesive reliability. Subjects cover:
• Test methods and specification that improve the ability to determine long-term bond durability
• Bonding and debonding of wood products
• Test methods that generate more meaningful material information on adhesive reliability
• Method of measuring viscoelastic behavior of adhesives
• Accurate method of measuring yield strength of adhesives and other materials
• Characterizing fracture properties of adhesive joints under impact loading conditions
• Fracture mechanics applied to adhesive joints
• Coating adhesion testing
• Diffusion of fluids in pressure sensitive adhesives
STP 1463 is a valuable resource for design engineers and those with interest in advanced test methods for adhesive validation

I found a excel sheet about "pushover perf. point", this excel sheet is totally questionable because as far in my knowledge it's just the first step of procedure to get perf. point, still there others steps must do before find perf. point
It's manual pushover analysis lesson which usually given di master / doctoral degree program in USA & Europe.
This excel sheet is very dangerous & can cause misleading for user without strong basic knowledge of pushover analysis.
I'm really curious & don't understand
This excel sheet firstly shared since 03-23-2010 ( nearly 9 month in this forum ) & no one in this forum say it's wrong ?
We currently have 27,703 members registered, until today I post this thread.
To avoid misleading to our 27,703 members, I propose idea : we create "CivilEA Technical Team" to review specially for exel sheet, example of calculation shared in our forum
Where member of "CivilEA Technical Team" minimally is VIP level of our forum.
We have uploader team, we can create "CivilEA Technical Team" too ?
I understand that all of us have work, duty & daily activity ... maybe no need instantly review each new shared excel sheet or example calculation, but, "CivilEA Technical Team" when they have time, they will seriously review it & announce if found "misleading" excel sheet or example of calculation.
Hopely my idea useful for all of us & accepted by Admin & all protectors, moderators & all member of CivilEA
Thx
Perfect didactical structure, inclusion of the latest research results for contemporary teaching Covering materials science from undergraduate till graduate student level Unique approach and mixture of topics for introductory and also graduate courses in materials science In-depth treatment of the constitution and properties of materials Crystallography, lattice defects, microstructural analysis and to phase equilibria included
This book offers a strong introduction to fundamental concepts on the basis of materials science. It conveys the central issue of materials science, distinguishing it from merely solid state physics and solid state chemistry, namely to develop models that provide the relation between the microstructure and the properties.
The book is meant to be used in the beginning of a materials science and engineering study as well as throughout an entire undergraduate and even graduate study as a solid background against which specialized texts can be studied. Topics dealt with are "crystallography", "lattice defects", "microstructural analysis", "phase equilibria and transformations" and "mechanical strength". After the basic chapters the coverage of topics occurs to an extent surpassing what can be offered in a freshman's course.
About the author
Prof. Mittemeijer is one of the top scientists in materials science, whose perceptiveness and insight have led to important achievements. This book witnesses of his knowledge and panoramic overview and profound understanding of the field. He is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart.
