This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows po…
Buku ini merupakan hasil kerjasama akademik antara para sarjana di Norwegia, Sudan, Zambia, dan Afrika Selatan, dan merupakan titik akhir dari perjalanan yang dimulai di Omdurman, Sudan pada tahun 2007, ketika para sarjana dari empat negara bertemu untuk membahas mata kuliah master di pendidikan internasional dan pembangunan melintasi batas geografis dan epistemologis. Pada bulan Desember 2012,…
Consolidating existing knowledge in Design Science, this book proposes a new research method to aid the exploration of design and problem solving within business, science and technology. It seeks to overcome a dichotomy that exists in the field between theory and practice to enable researches to find solutions to problems, rather than focusing on the explanation and exploration of the problems …
Berdasarkan keahlian para praktisi kebijakan dan akademisi dari seluruh dunia, rangkaian ini didedikasikan untuk kerja keras masyarakat sipil pada umumnya dan organisasi non-pemerintah (LSM di sini didefinisikan sebagai swasta, non-profesional yang secara manajerial independen dari pemerintah) masyarakat pada khususnya. Serial ini mengkaji teknik diplomasi dan negosiasi untuk LSM yang terlibat …
Annotation This 'ICME-13 Topical Survey' reviews the state-of-the-art by first exploring the roots and scope of design science. Second, it presents two examples of current design science projects that focus on substantial learning environments including a student and a teacher perspective. Subsequently, the book elaborates on how empirical research can be conceptualised within design science. L…
This book explores, through eight chapters, how design thinking vocabulary can be interpreted and employed in educational contexts. The theoretical foundations of design thinking and design in education are first examined by means of a literature review. This is then followed by chapters that characterize design thinking among children, pre-service teachers and in-service teachers using researc…
The papers in this volume present a broad range of applications for reinforced fiber composites - from thin shell structures to tires. Linear and nonlinear structural behavior (from linear buckling to nonlinear yelding and fracture) are discussed as well as different materials are presented. Latest developments in computational methods for constructíons are presented which will help to save m…
This is a new edition of Kleijnens advanced expository book on statistical methods for the Design and Analysis of Simulation Experiments (DASE). Altogether, this new edition has approximately 50% new material not in the original book. More specifically, the author has made significant changes to the bookℓ́ℓs organization, including placing the chapter on Screening Designs immediately after…
The book is about the key elements required for designing, building and controlling effective artificial swarms comprised of multiple moving physical agents. Therefore this book presents the fundamentals of each of those key elements in the particular frame of dynamic swarming, specifically exposing the profound connections between these elements and establish some general design principles for…
This book focuses on the design of a 3rd Order CT-??M where the integrator stages of the filter are implemented with Bipolar-Junction Transistors (BJT) differential pairs. These circuits are fully analyzed and the design method is carefully explained. The design method is validated through experimental measurements of several prototype circuits
