Non-Conservative Systems New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria

Non-Conservative Systems New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria

Non-Conservative Systems: New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria summarizes the essential properties of non-conservative elastic systems (static stability and post-critical behavior) and the importance of novel stability criteria for such systems. Beginning with the history of non-conservative systems theory the text goes on to propose new theories regarding static stability in massless non-conservative systems and dynamic stability in systems with mass. Experiments are included as are computational models developed by the author along with an extensive bibliography. This new work is a valuable new resource for those working in the area of structural stability. | Non-Conservative Systems New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria

Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

In the face of resource depletion environmental changes lifestyle changes demographic and digital adaptation old ideologies of city building and expensive and complex automobility solutions are in freefall. These changes are creating severe friction between the old and new paradigms. This book provides new perspectives through the process of ideological disassociation and concepts of human mobility code. The basic premise of the book human mobility is an essential component of our creativity that comes from our unconscious desire to become a part of a community. Several new concepts in the book starts with the hallmark of new discovery of human mobility code and its implications of urban mobility boundary systems to stay within safe planetary zone. A new discovery of human mobility code from comprehensive research finding prove that each individual develops a unique mobility footprint and become our mobility identity. Beyond individual hallmarks human develops collective mobility codes through interaction with the third space on which entire mobility systems lie and are created by the fundamentals of city planning and the design process. Readers are introduced to an innovative mobility planning process and reinvention of multimodal mobility approaches based on new mobility code while formulating new concepts practical solutions and implementation techniques tools policies and processes to reinforce low-carbon mobility options while addressing social equity environmental and health benefits. Finally the book arms us with knowledge to prevent the disaster of full technological enlightenment against our natural human mobility code. | Shifting Mobility Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision

This study of plant anatomy is based on newly available data on the structure and spatial organization of the vascular system of plants. For the first time by means of a new technique of intracellular moulding the vascular system can be observed in its length. Many examples are chosen from among the major groups of the plant kingdom to illustrate the vast field of applications of histological moulding: anatomical structures that have so far been little understood or unknown are described and hypotheses relative to the cambial functioning are presented. Following a summary of basic concepts of xylem anatomy the text is illustrated with many diagrams and photographs of moulds made for the most part with scanning electron microscope. The successive steps of the technical implementation of moulding are described with precision. The book is addressed not only to scientists and students but also to professionals concerned with wood trees and plants in general. | Vascular Organization of Angiosperms A New Vision
