 James E. Beavers, Ph.D., P.E., "Seismic Hazard Design Issues in the Central United States (Council on Disaster Risk Management Monograph 7" English | 2014 | pages: 171 | ISBN: 0784413207 | PDF | 5,4 mb Papers presented at the Seismic Hazards Workshop, held in Memphis, Tennessee, April 10, 2012. Sponsored by the Council on Disaster Risk Management of ASCE. Seismic Hazard Design Issues in the Central United Statescontains nine papers focusing on seismic design issues arising from the implementation of the new International Building Code and ASCE Standard 7-10 in the central United States and specifically in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Topics include: deep soil site response in the Mississippi Embayment and the unique aspects of liquefaction in the area; history of seismic design in the central United States; changes in the earthquake response spectra for critical facilities; adoption and implementation of new seismic safety regulations and design standards in Tennessee and Kentucky; unreinforced masonry and safe school design; resiliency measures to reduce seismic hazard impact; and modeling multihazard events and resulting consequences. This CDRM Monograph will be of interest to engineers, geologists, emergency response planners, and policymakers working to develop comprehensive seismic design procedures.

 Carmen Diana Deere, "Rural Women And State Policy: Feminist Perspectives On Latin American Agricultural Development" English | ISBN: 036730189X | 2020 | 282 pages | EPUB | 2 MB "The UN Decade for Women coincided with an economic crisis in Latin America comparable only to that of the Great Depression. This text synthesizes what has been learned over the past decade with regard to agricultural development for rural women, taking into account the impact of the economic crisis, models of development in the region, and the scope and consequences of ""women in development"" projects and policies.  Stuart A. Cohen, "Routledge Handbook on Israeli Security" English | ISBN: 1138217301 | 2018 | 350 pages | EPUB | 1288 KB The Routledge Handbook on Israeli Security provides an authoritative survey of both the historical roots of Israel's national security concerns and their principal contemporary expressions. Following an introduction setting out its central themes, the Handbook comprises 27 independent chapters, all written by experts in their fields, several of whom possess first-hand diplomatic and/or military experience at senior levels. An especially noteworthy feature of this volume is the space allotted to analyses of the impact of security challenges not just on Israel's diplomatic and military postures (nuclear as well as conventional) but also on its cultural life and societal behavior.  Robust Nonlinear Control Design: State-Space and Lyapunov Techniques By Randy A. Freeman, Petar Kokotović (auth.) 1996 | 257 Pages | ISBN: 0817647589 | PDF | 6 MB This book presents advances in the theory and design of robust nonlinear control systems. In the first part of the book, the authors provide a unified framework for state-space and Lyapunov techniques by combining concepts from set-valued analysis, Lyapunov stability theory, and game theory. Within this unified framework, the authors then develop a variety of control design methods suitable for systems described by low-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Emphasis is placed on global controller designs, that is, designs for the entire region of model validity. Because linear theory deals well with local system behavior (except for critical cases in which Jacobian linearization fails), the authors focus on achieving robustness and performance for large deviations from a given operation condition.The purpose of the book is to summarize Lyapunov design techniques for nonlinear systems and to raise important issues concerning large-signal robustness and performance. The authors have been the first to address some of these issues, and they report their findings in this text. For example, they identify two potential sources of excessive control effort in Lyapunov design techniques and show how such effort can be greatly reduced.The researcher who wishes to enter the field of robust nonlinear control could use this book as a source of new research topics. For those already active in the field, the book may serve as a reference to a recent body of significant work. Finally, the design engineer faced with a nonlinear control problem will benefit from the techniques presented here."The text is practically self-contained. The authors offer all necessary definitions and give a comprehensive introduction. Only the most basic knowledge of nonlinear analysis and design tools is required, including Lyapunov stability theory and optimal control. The authors also provide a review of set-valued maps for those readers who are not familiar with set-valued analysis. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in control theory, serving as both a summary of recent results and a source of new research problems. In the opinion of this reviewer the authors do succeed in attaining these objectives."- Mathematical Reviews  Ran Zilca, Philip Zimbardo, Deepak Chopra, "Ride of Your Life: A Coast-to-Coast Guide to Finding Inner Peace" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1533179085 | | EPUB | pages: 184 | 0.6 mb Have you hit a crossroads in your career or life? Do you feel stuck and know you have more to offer the world than what you are doing right now? If you are yearning to make a change in life, Ride Of Your Life will be your inspiration and guide. Back in 2010, research scientist and entrepreneur Ran Zilca set out from his home in New York on a motorcycle, bound for California in search of the next chapter in his life. Along this soul-searching journey, he spent hundreds of hours in contemplation on the road, met with fellow travelers from all walks of life, and interviewed leading experts in research labs, spiritual centers, and temples all across the country. Six-thousand miles later, he returned home, sold his company, and moved to a different continent. Ride of Your Life chronicles this transformative journey, sharing the collective wisdom Ran learned from one-on-one discussions with spiritual leaders and researchers, including Deepak Chopra, Phil Zimbardo, and Sonja Lyubomirsky. This groundbreaking book in the field of positive psychology is part travel memoir, part spiritual compass, and a practical handbook for personal transformation. Ride of Your Life will help you awaken your dreams and answer your own calling for a happier and more meaningful life.  Reviews of Physiology Biochemistry and Pharmacology, Volume 127 By B. Brüne, S.
