A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Design is about the creation of meaningful connections to solve problems and advance human wellbeing; the discipline has always explored the beneficial links between form and function technology and meaning beauty and utility people and artefacts and problems and solutions among others. This book focuses on the crucial connection between design research and design education. Contemporary society grows increasingly hyper-complex and globally competitive. This state of affairs raises fundamental questions for both Design Education and Design Research: Should research skills be integrated into undergraduate courses? How can we modify design courses without compromising the positive aspects of the educational studio experience? Can the three cycles of higher education in design be combined into a creative and inquisitive educational continuum? To examine the relationship between research and education in Design we must address the topic of knowledge keeping in mind that the development and dissemination of new and useful knowledge is the core purpose of a University. If we agree that design has its own things to know and ways to find out about them then design knowledge resides in people processes products and philosophy. This book explores the intersection of these four areas with the aim of uncovering insights to advance the current state of the design discipline. | Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Mechanics of Elastic Waves and Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation

Mechanics of Elastic Waves and Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation

Summary:This book presents necessary background knowledge on mechanics to understand and analyze elastic wave propagation in solids and fluids. This knowledge is necessary for elastic wave propagation modeling and for interpreting experimental data generated during ultrasonic nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E). The book covers both linear and nonlinear analyses of ultrasonic NDT&E techniques. The materials presented here also include some exercise problems and solution manual. Therefore this book can serve as a textbook or reference book for a graduate level course on elastic waves and/or ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. It will be also useful for instructors who are interested in designing short courses on elastic wave propagation in solids or NDT&E. The materials covered in the first two chapters provide the fundamental knowledge on linear mechanics of deformable solids while Chapter 4 covers nonlinear mechanics. Thus both linear and nonlinear ultrasonic techniques are covered here. Nonlinear ultrasonic techniques are becoming more popular in recent years for detecting very small defects and damages. However this topic is hardly covered in currently available textbooks. Researchers mostly rely on published research papers and research monographs to learn about nonlinear ultrasonic techniques. Chapter 3 describes elastic wave propagation modeling techniques using DPSM. Chapter 5 is dedicated to an important and very active research field – acoustic source localization – that is essential for structural health monitoring and for localizing crack and other type of damage initiation regions. Features• Introduces Linear and Nonlinear ultrasonic techniques in a single book. • Commences with basic definitions of displacement displacement gradient traction and stress. • Provides step by step derivations of fundamental equations of mechanics as well as linear and nonlinear wave propagation analysis. • Discusses basic theory in addition to providing detailed NDE applications. • Provides extensive example and exercise problems along with an extensive solutions manual. | Mechanics of Elastic Waves and Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation

Methods for the Quantitative Assessment of Channel Processes in Torrents (Steep Streams)

Methods for the Quantitative Assessment of Channel Processes in Torrents (Steep Streams)

An important part of the risk management of natural hazards in mountain regions concerns the hazard assessment and the planning of protection measures in steep headwater catchments i. e. torrent control and slope stabilization. Torrent processes in steep channels have their rightful place among the various alpine natural hazards and the corresponding control measures have a long tradition in the European alpine countries. In the planning and execution of such measures professional experience has been of paramount importance. This experience was based primarily on observations made during and after hazardous events as well as on regular field visits in the catchments of a steep headwater stream. Quantitative measurements e. g. of the discharge and of the eroded and deposited solid materials have been increasingly carried out only in the last decades. This set the basis to develop and improve quantitative methods to predict flow hydraulics bedload transport and debris flows in torrent catchments. This publication presents an overview of methods to quantify channel processes in steep catchments. The understanding and the quantitative description of channel processes provides an essential basis for the planning of protection measures. | Methods for the Quantitative Assessment of Channel Processes in Torrents (Steep Streams)
