TRAFFIC CONTROL HANDBOOK FOR MOBILE OPERATIONS AT NIGHT
This report is a synthesis of current practices for performing mobile highway operations at night. The information presented in this report is based on a review of work zone manuals from a selection of state and local highway agencies, discussions with highway officials, and field observations of a select number of nighttime highway mobile work zone operations.

Design and Build Housing for the Boomer Generation
This unique resource provides the latest housing data, options, and trends to help you plan, design, and construct homes and communities to meet the requirements and expectations of aging baby boomers. There are 77 million boomers in the United States alone who continue to set the new, higher standard for product change and innovation as they have been doing for decades. Building for Boomers offers targeted information for architects, builders, engineers, developers, remodelers, and suppliers interested in capitalizing on this exploding market.
LEARN HOW TO:
Plan neighborhoods based on local and regional factors, including zoning and other regulations
Understand different types of neighborhoods, such as age-targeted, mixed generations, transit-oriented design (TOD), traditional neighborhood developments (TNDs), cohousing, and others
Integrate aging in place, universal, and green building design concepts
Incorporate technology infrastructure into your designs, including communication, entertainment, lighting, environment, protection, and healthcare
Design single family homes, townhouses, condos, and apartments
Explore various design options for living spaces, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and storage

The book gives an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. Finally, examples are described of the processes in different classes of materials, i.e. semiconductors, ceramics, metals, intermetallic materials, and quasicrystals. The processes are illustrated by many electron micrographs of dislocations under stress and by video clips taken during in situ straining experiments in a high-voltage electron microscope showing moving dislocations. Thus, the users of the book also obtain an immediate impression and understanding of dislocation dynamics.

Engineering system dynamics is an exciting and challenging field and is a multidisciplinary subject. This book is designed and organized around the concepts of vibration analysis and control systems engineering as they have been developed in the frequency and time domain for an introductory undergraduate course for engineering students of all disciplines.
This book includes the coverage of classical methods of control systems and vibration, engineering: matrix analysis, Laplace transforms and transfer functions, root locus analysis and design, Routh - Hurwitz stability analysis, frequency response methods of analysis including Bode, Nyquist, and Nichols, steady-state error analysis, second order systems approximations, phase and gain margin and bandwidth, state space variable method, and controllability and observability. With this foundation of basic principles, the book provides opportunities to explore advanced topics in engineering system dynamics.

With the current water shortage in Australia, there is a need as well as opportunities to look for alternative sources of water for use in concrete production. Water authorities are increasing the supply of recycled water as ‘greywater’ for domestic use and as ‘reclaimed water’ for agricultural and industrial needs. They also encourage sewer mining by the private sector. In addition, it is possible to reuse higher proportions of wash water as well as combined wash water and slurries from concrete production operation (CPO) which will move the concrete industry toward zero-discharge facilities.
This report presents current information on the quality of concrete mixing water in terms of: mandatory limits and guidelines on impurities, as well as permissible performance variations stipulated in leading National and International Standards; and the impact of CPO water on concrete performance. New sources of reclaimed water which are or will be available for industrial usage are identified in terms of quality and impact on Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S). Based on this review, new opportunities and gaps in knowledge will be identified.
The objectives of this study are to:
- compile guidelines on quality of water suitable for making concrete in terms of the presence and limits on impurities;
- review the reuse of water from concrete production operation (CPO);
- review alternative sources of water supply, quality and impact on OH&S.
