Pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, this book offers detailed insights into the empirical relationships between overall social key figures of states and cultures in the fields of information and communication technology (ICT) (digital divide/inequality), the economy, education and religion. Its goal is to bridge the ‘cultural...
Research, development, and commercialization of emerging non-volatile memories
(NVMs) are being aggressively pursued by the design community to supplement
and/or substitute conventional volatile and NV memory technologies that are facing
stiff scalability challenges. The emerging NVMs such as Magnetic RAM (MRAM),...
The concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) structure
is a new type of steel-concrete composite structure. It inherits the
advantages of conventional concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST)
structures, including high strength, good ductility and durability, high fire resistance and favorable constructability....
This book introduces the use of the distinct element method (DEM) in modeling crowd behavior and simulating evacuation processes. Focusing on the mathematical computation of the uncertain behavior of evacuees, which is switching action behavior, it subsequently reproduces the crowd evacuation process under several conjectural...
Seismic data is one of the fundamental tools used to interpret subsurface geology
with application to understanding of earth processes, tectonic evolution, and energy
exploration in particular. This book is written for technical specialists who are new
to seismic geophysics. It introduces the seismic data set including how the data...
