Reflecting the latest developments in the green building movement, and updated to include coverage of LEED 2009,Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, Second Edition guides construction and design professionals through the process of developing commercial and institutional high-performance green buildings in today's marketplace.
In this revised edition, Charles Kibert delivers a detailed, and passionate, overview of the entire process of green building, covering the theory, history, state of the industry, and best practices in green building. Kibert uses not only the dominant LEED assessment system, but includes such newer ones as Green Globes and several noteworthy building assessment systems from other countries. Sections introduce the background of the green building movement and walk you through such aspects as the background of high-performance green building design, green-building assessment, the green building process, and ecological design.
Broad enough to cover the needs of faculty and students in architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, interior design, and construction management, yet focused enough to serve as a reference for building owners and buyers of construction services, Sustainable Construction is a comprehensive look at an emerging process that is environmentally sounds while making good economic sense.

How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper

Publisher:
Edition: Second Edition
Date : 2008
Pages : 178
Format : PDF
Language : English
ISBN-10 : 052187890X
We, the Civil Engineers, like other fields experts need to often write scientific papers and illustrate our findings. Hope this book can be a good supplement in this regard.
This second edition of How to Write and Illustrate a Scientific Paper will help both first-time writers and more experienced authors, in all biological and medical disciplines, to present their results effectively. Whilst retaining the easy-to-read and well-structured approach of the previous edition, it has been broadened to include comprehensive advice on writing compilation theses for doctoral degrees, and a detailed description of preparing case reports.
Illustrations, particularly graphs, are discussed in detail, with poor examples redrawn for comparison. The reader is offered advice on how to present the paper, where and how to submit the manuscript, and finally, how to correct the proofs. Examples of both good and bad writing, selected from actual journal articles, illustrate the author's advice - which has been developed through his extensive teaching experience - in this accessible and informative guide.

I am trying to install the AutoCad2010 on Win 7.
During the installation a get the message "Please Insert CD1" and the installation process stops.
There is no CD1 because I am installing it from ISO-file mounted by PowerIso.
Also this problem happened to me last year while I was installing the AutoCad2008.

Product Description
The essentials of regression analysis through practical applications
Regression analysis is a conceptually simple method for investigating relationships among variables. Carrying out a successful application of regression analysis, however, requires a balance of theoretical results, empirical rules, and subjective judgement. Regression Analysis by Example, Fourth Edition has been expanded and thoroughly updated to reflect recent advances in the field. The emphasis continues to be on exploratory data analysis rather than statistical theory. The book offers in-depth treatment of regression diagnostics, transformation, multicollinearity, logistic regression, and robust regression.
This new edition features the following enhancements:
Chapter 12, Logistic Regression, is expanded to reflect the increased use of the logit models in statistical analysis
A new chapter entitled Further Topics discusses advanced areas of regression analysis
Reorganized, expanded, and upgraded exercises appear at the end of each chapter
A fully integrated Web page provides data sets
Numerous graphical displays highlight the significance of visual appeal
Regression Analysis by Example, Fourth Edition is suitable for anyone with an understanding of elementary statistics. Methods of regression analysis are clearly demonstrated, and examples containing the types of irregularities commonly encountered in the real world are provided. Each example isolates one or two techniques and features detailed discussions of the techniques themselves, the required assumptions, and the evaluated success of each technique. The methods described throughout the book can be carried out with most of the currently available statistical software packages, such as the software package R.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
