This book comprehensively accounts the advances in data-based approaches for hydrologic modeling and forecasting. Eight major and most popular approaches are selected, with a chapter for each -- stochastic methods, parameter estimation techniques, scaling and fractal methods, remote sensing, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, wavelets, and nonlinear dynamics and chaos methods.
These approaches are chosen to address a wide range of hydrologic system characteristics, processes, and the associated problems. Each of these eight approaches includes a comprehensive review of the fundamental concepts, their applications in hydrology, and a discussion on potential future directions.

This work guides bridge designers, working for either the owner or a constructor, on how to improve the buildability of common highway bridge structures. Checklists of actions provide a reminder of "conceptual" and "specific" issues related to design for buildability and can be extended to suit individual projects.

Series on Stability, Vibration and Control of Systems, Series A, Volume 5> Presents the idea of zero-range potentials and shows the limitations of the point models used in structural mechanics. Offers specific examples from the theory of generalized functions, regularization of super-singular integral equations and other specifics of the boundary value problems.

Details the effects of light spectrum
Organizes lighting requirements from the perspective of driving tasks rather than technology
Incorporates a coherent philosophy for lighting based on the supply of visual information
Provides a review of the latest findings on the most effective use of lighting for road safety
Examines future trends in road, signal, and vehicle lighting
Summary:
Integrates Vehicle, Signal, and Road Lighting into a Unified System
Many people drive many miles after dark and rely on lighting to help them gather information about the road ahead and the presence and intentions of other people on and near the road. With new technology on the industry’s horizon, Lighting for Driving: Roads, Vehicle, Signs and Signals conveys the crucial role lighting plays in road safety and examines how it could be used more effectively.
Authored by a lighting and visibility expert, this book explains the thinking and scientific reasoning behind various forms of lighting and analyzes their contribution to the driver’s understanding of real and potential road hazards. Filled with useful information, this resource straightforwardly addresses a wide range of safety factors encountered in real driving situations, such as weather conditions, complex signage, and driver age. It also deals with the often-ignored consequences of too much light, such as light trespass and sky glow.
Comprehensively Explores the Field, Emphasizing Improved Safety
Vehicle, road, sign, and signal lighting are provided to enable drivers to reach their destinations quickly and safely. However, the attention given to how these forms of lighting function is likely to change as new technology is introduced and understanding of ergonomics and human factors improves. This book effectively illustrates how these forms of lighting can be modified to work together to best provide a coherent flow of information to the driver.

Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relations between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

I am in urgent need of the solutions of the over-mentioned book. At this time, up to chapter 7 is sufficient.
I am hoping that any generous civil/geotechnical engineer/student can help me providing that.
Regards,
Z
