Following the same format as the highly successful Volume 1, Volume 2 applies the principles of deformation to the analysis of folds and fractures. There are 13 sessions, each providing 3 hours of practical work and problems. The problems are well-illustrated with photographs and drawings, and the solutions are discussed in detail. All the sessions are drawn from actual geological examples and are extensively illustrated with photographs taken in the field and with micrographs, giving students a feeling for what actually occurs in nature.

Modern Structural Geology, Volume 3 gives a practical introduction to how mathematical tools (continuum mechanics) can be used to model geological structures (i.e., naturally deformed rocks).
It provides a strong emphasis on the application of mathematics to solving real geological problems.
This is the third volume of a highly successful textbook series. It sets out in detail many fundamental and modern research techniques, some for the first time.
It is richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams of naturally deformed rocks. Very few books in the field contain even a fraction of this illustrative material.

Multi Purpose Center Usce - Belgarde Serbia - Architectural drawing
» Introduction
The first regional shopping centre feature 130,000 square metres of gross buildable space in one of the best locations in the city, which could be labelled the very heart of the city. The intention of MPC Properties was to create a modern and sophisticated atmosphere where shopping, entertainment, and business can be combined.
Over 160 exclusive stores from famous domestic and foreign brands is located in the shopping centre. Many of these brands are making their first appearance on the Serbian market. Furthermore, the supermarket have over 4,000 square metres of space. At such a convenient location, this supermarket is attractive to shoppers from both sides of river.
Restaurants and bars occupy approximately 1,000 square metres of space and they offer a completely different concept from that is usually offered in large shopping centres. In addition, the Usce Shopping Centre have a multiplex cinema with 11 theatre halls. This combination makes the Usce Shopping Centre a unique destination that offers an amazing mix of shopping and entertainment.

Geological Storage of CO2: Modeling Approaches for Large-Scale Simulation
Author: Jan Martin Nordbotten, Michael A. Celia | Size: 2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2012 | pages: 243 | ISBN: 0470889462
Despite the large research effort in both public and commercial companies, no textbook has yet been written on this subject. This book aims to provide an overview to the topic of Carbon Capture and Storage (CSS), while at the same time focusing on the dominant processes and the mathematical and numerical methods that need to be employed in order to analyze the relevant systems. The book clearly states the carbon problem and the role of CCS and carbon storage. Thereafter, it provides an introduction to single phase and multi-phase flow in porous media, including some of the most common mathematical analysis and an overview of numerical methods for the equations. A considerable part of the book discusses the appropriate scales of modeling, and how to formulate consistent governing equations at these scales. The book also illustrates real world data sets and how the ideas in the book can be exploited through combinations of analytical and numerical approaches.

Urban Design in the Real Estate Development Process
Author: Steve Tiesdell and David Adams | Size: 23.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Year: 2011 | pages: 344 | ISBN: 1405192194
Urban design enables better places to be created for people and is thus seen in Urban Design in the Real Estate Development Process as a place-making activity, rather than the application of architectural aesthetics. Urban design policy can change the ‘decision environment’ of developers, financiers, designers and other actors in the real estate development process to make them take place-making more seriously.
This book reports diverse international experience from Europe and North America on the role and significance of urban design in the real estate development process and explores how higher quality development and better places can be achieved through public policy.
The book is focused on four types of policy tool or instrument that have been deployed to promote better urban design: those that seek to shape, to regulate or to provide stimulus to real estate markets, along with those that aim to build
capacity. Urban design is therefore seen as a form of public policy that seeks to steer real estate development towards policy-shaped rather than market-led outcomes. The editors set the examples, case studies and evidence from
international contributors within a substantive discussion of the impact of urban design policy tools and actions in specific development contexts.
Contributions from leading urban design theorists and practitioners explore how:
Masterplanning and infrastructure provision encourage high quality design
Design codes reconcile developers’ needs for certainty and flexibility
Clear policy combined with firm regulation can transform developer behaviour
Intelligent parcelisation can craft the character of successful new urban districts
Powerful real estates’ interests can capture regulatory initiatives
Stimulus instruments can encourage good design
Development competitions need careful management
Design review can foster developer commitment to design excellence
• Speculative housebuilders respond in varied ways to the brownfield design challenge
Physical-financial models could help in assessing the benefits of design investment
Urban design can add value to the benefit of developers and cities as a whole

Despite our growing awareness of the vital role they play in the global environment, wetlands remain among the most endangered ecosystems on Earth and are still being destroyed and degraded at an alarming rate. This much-needed publication, which includes contributions from leading researchers and practitioners, presents a holistic perspective on the restoration of wetland ecosystems such as shallow lakes, streams, floodplains and bogs. Through the use of carefully chosen case studies, the authors examine European wetland restoration projects from Scandinavia to Bulgaria and from Ireland to Belarus, focusing on the lessons they can teach to a new generation of conservationists. As well as reviewing the sum of current knowledge on the subject, the text is a store of practical know-how, covering a wide range of conservation approaches and techniques. It analyzes the major problems in the field and identifies key principles for achieving sustainability in wetland restoration.
The topics covered include:
the role of wetlands in landscape functioning
human interference with natural processes such as water and matter cycles and energy dissipation
the impact of land use on global problems such as climate change, floods and droughts
the role played by diversity in wetland functioning
The work shows that without sustainable land use over the totality of their catchment areas, and without cohesive inter-agency cooperation, individual restoration projects will have a short life span. The balance between scientific background and practical restoration makes this book a valuable resource for scientists as well as wetland managers, decision makers and land use planners, as well as students of ecology, nature conservation and environmental protection.
