This book presents 10 actions for practical results in seismology. Through statistical analysis, we can estimate the probability of the next earthquake and identify foreshocks. From seismic waves, we can deduce an earthquake’s energy, magnitude, and the fault’s orientation.
Energy, Climate and Tourism
Approaching the issues of climate, energy, and tourism in an original way, the study illustrates the place of energy in contemporary society. It suggests the implementation of tourism standards to control the negative effects of tourism at a local and regional level.
Mainframe Computer Systems
This volume describes General Electric’s venture into mainframe computers. GE pioneered commercial timesharing, and its hardware was used to develop the BASIC language and the influential Multics system. Unable to compete with IBM, GE sold its computer division to Honeywell.
This textbook is a unique treatise on the present status of particle physics summarised for physics students at an introductory level: it provides insights into essential experimental and theoretical techniques and will gradually deepen the reader’s understanding of the field.
Sound is a major tool for studying the ocean environment and marine life. Understanding Ocean Acoustics focuses on environmental research using low frequencies relevant to fish and sea mammals, covering geoacoustic properties missing in most books on underwater acoustics.
This book provides insights into the dynamics of control systems, highlighting the first-time use of Morse theory to describe global dynamics. It is an accessible source of definitions, examples, theorems, and open questions for students, researchers, and professionals.
This book covers the theory and practice of hypothesis testing: deciding on the plausibility of models based on data. Useful for researchers and practitioners at all levels, it discusses important practical problems and provides detailed algorithms for their solutions.
Semakov highlights some of the most important fundamental results related to crossings problems in the context of aviation. The result is a work that will appeal to engineers and scientists who are interested in the applications of random processes theory and its methods.
The Health Consequences of Urban Planning
This book is a warning. The design of our urban environments is causing a rise in preventable, non-communicable diseases. It presents evidence on how our cities cause illness and provides an alternative for designing truly resilient environments fit for the future.
For physics scholars and general readers, this book explores the action of ultra-low doses on biological systems. It covers medicinal remedies like homeopathy, the influence of color and form, and the Twin Correlation.
Responsible Pedagogies in Architecture
This book highlights how Manipal University Jaipur’s School of Architecture and Design is addressing climate change. Through its research, teaching, and community outreach, it pursues ‘responsible pedagogies’ for environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
This book sheds light on controversial questions about interventions on religious heritage buildings. Since Vatican II, the renewal of Catholic churches has been problematic for historic buildings. How can we reform what has already been reformed?
This textbook explains the physical processes governing the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Designed for undergraduates, the theory is developed from first principles, covering planetary dynamics, magnetic fields, and the fluid dynamics of circumstellar disks.
Large Dam and River Dynamics
This book explores fluvial geomorphology and its role in floodplain management. It details quantitative and statistical techniques for analyzing river dynamics and highlights applications in managing land and water resources. For researchers, planners, and policy makers.
Neuroinformatics and Semantic Representations
This book proposes a neural network for structural information analysis. Inspired by the human brain, this approach reconstructs a model of the world to interpret behaviour and enables automatic semantic analysis of text, constructing a semantic portrait from any stream.
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.
Rediscovering the Hindu Temple
This volume examines the Hindu temple as an architectural and urban form. Going beyond stereotypes, this study reveals the temple as a complex cultural entity: both monumental and modest, historic and modern, and deserving of a far deeper understanding.
Explore the improved optical detectors, from UV to far-infrared, that power a new era of measurement. This guide helps scientists and engineers select, build, and calibrate instruments for superior accuracy and expanded applications.
This book describes the physics and modeling of the near-Earth medium and its disturbances from seismic and solar sources. It explores the coupling between the Earth’s solid and gaseous shells, providing a basis for natural disaster prediction. For scientists and students.
History can teach leaders to solve complex environmental problems. Through case studies of forest management in Australia and the USA, this book reveals how non-linear thinking leads to success. While historical contexts change, the principles for tackling them do not.
