Chen delivers a feasible framework for applying airborne Lidar data to urban research. In addition to providing a general introduction to the subject, this book explains a series of case studies to show how theoretical models can be employed to address practical urban issues.
The Aravalli Range’s Past, Present and Future Prospects
The Aravalli Mountains’ rich heritage is at a crossroads. Drawing on advanced geospatial technology and field research, this essential guide identifies critical threats and provides a powerful roadmap for sustainable, community-driven conservation.
The Architecture of Jens Fredrick Larson
After becoming an ace with the Royal Flying Corps, Jens Fredrick Larson became an architect for more than thirty-five colleges. This text explores his major projects and the challenges faced late in his career when Modernism denigrated and misunderstood the Georgian style.
This book examines why modern architecture lacks humanity and creates environmental errors. It studies historical styles to show how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century by aggressive, reductionist ideologies that attack our inherited communities.
The Art of Artificial Intelligence
This book explores artificial intelligence through the unique lens of art, showing how we can engage with AI without being subjugated by it. Each chapter begins with a work of art to guide the reader through philosophical keywords like “author,” “memory,” and “human.”
The Art of Building at the Dawn of Human Civilization
This book offers an unconventional outlook on architecture’s evolution, showing how prehistoric people developed building by solving complex problems. It demonstrates building to be in synergy with the advancement of human abstract thought, proposing a new field of study.
The Art of Supposition
What if our reality is shaped by what we suppose? This book introduces a groundbreaking framework, redefining the human experience through the lens of Homo Putans, the “supposing human.” Enter a world where every thought is an invitation to question, explore, and suppose.
The Baseline Mass Transfer Coefficient
This book presents a revolutionary achievement: the Standard Specific Baseline Mass Transfer Coefficient. It solves the long-standing inability to correlate mass transfer coefficients between tests, transforming the design and operation of water and wastewater aeration systems.
This book deepens the theoretical understanding of mesoscale dynamics with new research results. By integrating theory with practice, it introduces forecast methods for rainstorms and other disastrous weathers. For operational forecasters, researchers, and students.
The Change of Paradigm in Nuclear Fuel Optimization
Current nuclear fuel optimization cannot predict accidents and suffers from great uncertainty. This book details a new philosophy based on the synergic paradigm to minimize radioactive leakage, resolve the safety-efficiency contradiction, and ensure safer reactor operation.
When the spherical molecule C60 was discovered in 1985, a science journalist did more than just report the news. He linked the glamorous discovery to the world of soot science, contriving a spectacular argument between scientists to promote the discoverers’ claim to fame.
For students of medicine and biosciences, this book explains biomolecule-related organic chemistry. It explores fundamental theories not covered in basic textbooks and describes the chemistry of important biomolecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
This book highlights friccohesity chemistry: the cohesive and adhesive forces in nanoformulations. It shows how this chemistry overcomes the quantum energy barrier to homogenize, encapsulate, and create kinetically balanced nanoemulsions.
This unique monograph explores the in-depth chemistry of allelopathy—the chemical interactions between plants. It covers the development of bioherbicides and the nanoencapsulation of allelochemicals for agriculture, a valuable resource for scientists, students, and industry.
The Color Chemist’s Handbook
For students, professionals, and lab technicians, this is your indispensable guide to paint & coatings lab operations. Master raw materials management, the latest lab instruments, and crucial Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) practices.
This book covers Monté Carlo Methods and computer simulation for applications like calculating Pi, integration, areas, and volumes. It also introduces the novel Complex Probability Paradigm. For scholars and students in mathematics, computer science, and science in general.
The modern world’s continuous use of energy suspended the natural alternation between light and dark, warmth and cold. In The Culture of Energy, historians, social scientists and architects examine this energy culture, from lighting to nuclear power.
This book presents research on optical filters for communication systems. These devices are designed and optimized to accurately filter channels from multiplexed optical signals through wavelength tenability, produced via thermo-optic, electro-optic, and strain effects.
The Digital Generation Reaches Maturity
This book explores the changing landscape of business and consumer behaviour, shaped by digital disruption and post-pandemic conditions. It identifies emerging trends, considering context and generation, to help you understand our world and develop better products and services.
This book presents the direct integration method, a tool for analyzing the elastic response of nonhomogeneous solids to thermal and force loadings. By reducing elasticity problems to integral equations, this method provides efficient, closed-form solutions for these materials.
