Advanced Solutions and Practical Applications in Road Traffic Engineering

Advanced Solutions and Practical Applications in Road Traffic Engineering
Advanced Solutions and Practical Applications in Road Traffic Engineering
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031223586 | 271 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 38 MB
This book presents many valuable tips for making decisions related to traffic flow in transport networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the decision support systems described in this book, finds interest among people who face the daily challenge of searching for advanced solutions and practical applications in road traffic engineering. The publication is therefore addressed to local authorities related to the planning and development of development strategies for selected areas with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional dimension) and to representatives of business and industry, as people directly involved in the implementation of traffic engineering solutions.

Acoustics and Aerodynamic Sound

Acoustics and Aerodynamic Sound
Michael Howe, "Acoustics and Aerodynamic Sound"
English | ISBN: 1107044405 | 2014 | 304 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Music, calm speech, whispering leaves fluttering in a breeze are pleasant and desirable sounds. Noise, howling gales, explosions and screeching traffic are less so. A quantitative understanding of the sources of all such sounds can be obtained by careful analysis of the mechanical equations of motion. This is provided by Acoustics and Aerodynamic Sound, which serves as a short, one semester introduction to acoustics and aerodynamic sound at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. Sound is treated as a branch of fluid mechanics, which is possible because students embarking on an advanced course in acoustics will be familiar with this topic. It is also desirable because an ability to relate acoustic events to hydrodynamic phenomena provides insight into acoustic principles, in particular into the role of vorticity in the mechanics of sound production by vibrating bodies and in the scattering and diffraction of sound.

Achieving Our World Toward a Global and Plural Democracy

Achieving Our World Toward a Global and Plural Democracy
Achieving Our World: Toward a Global and Plural Democracy By Fred Reinhard Dallmayr
2001 | 223 Pages | ISBN: 0742511847 | PDF | 17 MB
Referring to Richard Rorty's "Achieving Our Country" in his title, yet rejecting Rorty's focus as both ethnocentric and too limited, Dallmayr presents a philosophical and political examination of the alternatives to globalization. Separating the philosophical and political sections of the book, yet insisting that the two are inextricably linked, he first examines the possibilities for cosmopolitan democracy to arise from grassroots movements intimately connected to local cultural traditions, rather than imposed from above by the West. Next, he looks at concepts of self vs. other and cross-cultural encounters as foundational ideas for the process of achieving global democracy.

Academic Writing and Information Literacy Instruction in Digital Environments A Complementary Approach

Academic Writing and Information Literacy Instruction in Digital Environments A Complementary Approach
Tamilla Mammadova, "Academic Writing and Information Literacy Instruction in Digital Environments: A Complementary Approach"
English | ISBN: 3031191595 | 2022 | 246 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of academic writing and information literacy in a new digital dimension, drawing on recent trends towards project-based writing, digital writing and multimodal writing in Education, and synthesising theory with practice to provide a handy toolkit for teachers and researchers. The author combines a practical orientation to teaching academic writing and information literacy with a grounding in current theories of writing instruction in the digitalized era, and argue that as digital environments become more universal in modern society - particularly in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic - the lines between traditional academic writing and multi-modal digital writing must necessary become blurred. This book will be of use to teachers and instructors of academic writing and information literacy, particularly within the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), as well as students and researchers in Applied Linguistics, Pedagogy and Digital Writing.

A Social History of Administrative Science in Italy Planning a State of Happiness from Liberalism to Fascism

A Social History of Administrative Science in Italy Planning a State of Happiness from Liberalism to Fascism
Andrea Rapini, "A Social History of Administrative Science in Italy: Planning a State of Happiness from Liberalism to Fascism "
English | ISBN: 3031170466 | 2022 | 189 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book traces the origins, life and death of Administrative Science in Italy as an academic discipline between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It does so by combining the study of ideas, institutional history, intellectual history and social history. The Faculty of Law first introduced Administrative Science in 1875, with the aim of providing the elite with the necessary tools to distribute wealth more equally, to take care of the population and, thus, to make the young Italian State more legitimate in the eyes of the emerging masses. Law and social sciences were merged with the aim of increasing reforms, including that of creating a State of Happiness for all citizens. Throughout its 70-year existence, Administrative Science was deprived of its contents and scientific independence, and academically overshadowed by Administrative and Public law. Finally, although the liberal elites discarded the reformer project of Administrative Science even before Fascism turned everything upside down, most of the original traits of this knowledge were absorbed into Fascist corporate and totalitarian structures.

A Primer on Fluid Mechanics with Applications

A Primer on Fluid Mechanics with Applications
A Primer on Fluid Mechanics with Applications by Sudhir Ranjan Jain , Bhooshan S. Paradkar , Shashikumar M. Chitre
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 284 Pages | ISBN : 3031204867 | 17.8 MB
This textbook is a pedagogic introduction to a number of phenomena employing fluid mechanics. Beginning with basic concepts and conservation laws for neutral and charged fluids, the authors apply and develop them to understand aerodynamics, locomotion of micro-organisms, waves in air and water, shock waves, hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic instabilities, stars and black holes, blood flow in humans, and superfluids. The approach is to consider various striking topics on fluid mechanics, without losing necessary mathematical rigor. The book balances the qualitative explanations with formal treatment, in a compact manner. A special focus is given to the important and difficult subject of turbulence and the book ends with a discussion on turbulence in quantum fluids. The textbook is dotted by a number of illustrative examples, mostly from real life, and exercises.
