Modelling of damage patterns of RC concrete columns under demolition by blasting
No full textA numerical study for damage of RC columns under demolition blasting has been carried out and the results were compared with available experimental work. Basic considerations for the finite element method of the LS-DYNA Program are introduced. Equations of state models as well as three constitutive material models (the concrete mass, the reinforcing steel, and the high energy explosive material) are described in detail. In the present work, three Finite Element modeling of steel bars as beam, solid elements or by converting reinforcement quantity into concrete solid elements have been examined through comparison with available experimental work. The influence of different parameters on the blasting damage pattern of RC columns has been investigated. These parameters include steel rebar arrangement, explosive factors and the concrete strength of columns. The results have been presented and discussed. Keywords: demolition, blast, damage pattern, RC column, explosive factors, LS- DYNA, experimental results, solid element, beam element, finite element models
Principles of microbial diversity / James W. Brown, Department of Biological Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina.
No full textIncludes index.pharmacy bookfair2016xvi, 390 pages :Every speck of dust, drop of water, and grain of soil and each part of every plant and animal contain their own worlds of microbes.
Designed as a key text for upper-level undergraduates majoring in microbiology, genetics, or biology, Principles of Microbial Diversity provides a solid curriculum for students to explore the enormous range of biological diversity in the microbial world. Within these richly illustrated pages, author and professor James W. Brown provides a practical guide to microbial diversity from a phylogenetic perspective in which students learn to construct and interpret evolutionary trees from DNA sequences. He then offers a survey of the “tree of life†that establishes the necessary basic knowledge about the microbial world. Finally, the author draws the student’s attention to the universe of microbial diversity with focused studies of the contributions that specific organisms make to the ecosystem.
Principles of Microbial Diversity fills an empty niche in microbiology textbooks by providing an engaging, cutting-edge view of the “microbial zoo†that exists around us, covering bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, and viruses

Evaluation of ridge changes in immediate implant placement in split crest technique
No full textObjectives: This research was carried out to evaluate crestal bone level changes around dental implants immediately installed after split-crest technique in mandible. Materials and Methods: Ten patients receiving 20 dental implants with inadequate mandibular buccolingual dimension, 23 mm of crestal width; and sufficient height from the tip of the alveolar ridge to the inferior alveolar canal were evaluated in this retrospective study. All the patients underwent split-crest technique with immediate implant insertion. Implant placement was conducted through a conventional two- step procedure. After 4 months the patients received a mandibular (partial or complete) overdenture retained by ball and socket attachments. Crestal bone level changes around dental implants were assessed using cone beam computed tomography.Results: Using the split ridge technique showed high rate of success and minimal ridge height changes
Geoinformation : remote sensing, photogrammetry, and geographic information systems / Gottfried Konecny.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.xxxv, 436 pages ;"Preface In the 1990s, surveying and mapping underwent a transition from disciplineoriented technologies, such as geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, and cartography, to the methodology-oriented integrated discipline of geoinformatics. This is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), or GPS, positioning, remote sensing, digital photography for data acquisition, and a geographic information system (GIS) for data manipulation and data output. This book attempts to present the required basic background for remote sensing, digital photogrammetry, and GIS in the new geoinformatics concept in which the different methodologies must be combined. For remote sensing, the basic fundamentals are the properties of electromagnetic radiation and their interaction with matter. This radiation is received by sensors and platforms in an analogue or digital form, and is subject to image processing. In photogrammetry, the stereo concept is used for the location of information in 3D. With the advent of high-resolution satellite systems in stereo, the theory of analytical photogrammetry restituting 2D image information into 3D is of increasing importance, merging the remote sensing approach with that of photogrammetry. The result of the restitution is a direct input into geographic information systems in vector or raster form. The fundamentals of these are described in detail, with an emphasis on global, regional, and local applications. In the context of data integration, a short introduction to the GPS satellite positioning system is provided. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers from advanced undergraduates to all professionals in the growing field of geoinformation"-

The Method of moments in electromagnetics / Walton C. Gibson, Tripoint Industries Inc..
No full textengineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xxiii, 425 pages ;"This book discusses the use of integral equations in electromagnetics, covering theory only when necessary to explain how to apply it to solve practical problems. To introduce the method of moments, coupled surface integral equations are derived and solved in several domains of pragmatic concern: two-dimensional problems, thin wires, bodies of revolution, and generalized three-dimensional problems. Focusing on real-world implementation, the Second Edition includes a treatment of electromagnetic scattering from objects that may be either conducting or comprise a composite conducting/dielectric (material) geometry.
