This book provides an overview and up-to-date synthesis of the most commonly used non-destructive technologies for the reverse engineering of built infrastructure facilities. These technologies tackle both the geometric and radiometric characterization of built structures, and thus, validated technologies such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, and multispectral remote sensing are presented in depth, from their fundamentals to their application to management systems for diverse applications in civil engineering (damage inspection, structural calculations, road inventory and inspections, BIM, etc.). Alternative methods are therefore presented for routine sub-surface inspections by using non-invasive geophysics (e.g. magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic), as well as thermography for the nearest sub-surface.
The book is divided into three sections, whose main features are as follows:
Section 1: Fundamentals, principles and applications of: laser scanning, photogrammetry, geophysics, ground penetrating radar, IR thermography, multispectral imaging.
Section 2: Applications to the inspection of infrastructure facilities: tunnels, breakwaters, railways, roads, and modeling of existing buildings (damage inspection in constructions, thermographic 3D modeling, structural modeling of industrial constructions).
Section 3: new management tools and intelligent modeling: infrastructure management systems based on non-destructive technologies for masonry arch bridges, computational approaches for GPR processing and interpretation, automatic processing and object recognition from laser scanning data, BIM for existing buildings.
This cutting-edge edited volume will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and professional engineers with an interest in non-destructive technologies and their applications to reverse engineering of structures and infrastructure.

Описание:
We are now becoming numbed by the outrageous events taking place within the political arena of our country. Throughout our nation, the division between factions continues to hold firm. The issue of how movement toward reconciliation can occur has become ever more pressing. Nothing short of our democracy is at stake. This book looks to the writings of the nineteenth-century Danish religious philosopher Soren Kierkegaard as a resource for thinking in fresh ways about how the divine power of creative transformation is at work in the world. Through divinity's empowering of our practices in relating to others, democracy can be resurrected to a new, healthy life.
Six important themes from Kierkegaard's thought are used to do a comparative examination of Donald Trump together with his world and Kierkegaard and his world. The story of this standoff--between one of the world's most famous and well-publicized figures and one of the world's greatest thinkers--constitutes a compelling investigation and presents quite a contrast. Uncovered in the storytelling process of Kierkegaard trumping Trump are the "Sweet 16" sixteen ways in which resurrection can be practiced in people's lives and help to restore our democracy to a fuller and more vibrant version of itself.
Popular culture is lying to you -and it was lying to me in the 1960's in much the same way.My story is not uncommon, but it is mostly untold. Many people lived through that era and went on to live productive lives. But many died, not from war, but from drugs, alcoholism and a plethora of sexual diseases. And many survived, but live wounded, too afraid or too ashamed to talk about the result of the poor choices we all made -- the ones popular culture was telling us to make - the ones that nearly destroyed us.This book shines a light on the dark side of sexual liberation - to look at the real trajectory of what the 60's era of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll did to women and children, what it did to families and what it did to me. The "Make Love - Not War" propaganda was a Big Lie and its impact on society was damaging, particularly to women, entrapping them in a cycle of loneliness while it advertised their freedom.Mine is a story of coping, covering up, limping along and being in denial and miserable until I came to the end of myself and found a Greater Truth that healed the wounds of my adolescence and gave joy to adulthood. So, it is also a story of overcoming, of victory, of love and joy and purpose. There is healing in revealing one's story, if only in private confession, and a lightness that comes when you do. Join me as I share how a Greater Truth silenced the lies in my head, gave me the power to live with a grace that acknowledges my failures and still calls me to be my very best. This is how to overcome and to find a path back to your true self, to the amazing person you were really created to be.

Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring Techniques for Renewable Energy Industrial Assets integrates state-of-the-art information and discusses future developments and their significance to the improvement of the renewable energy industry. Renewable energy assets are complex systems with several critical components that require inspection and adequate maintenance in order to ensure their high availability and uninterrupted operation. This is the first book to apply NDT and condition monitoring to these complex systems.
Covers inspection and condition monitoring for a broad range of renewable energy systems, including wind turbines, wave energy devices, CSP and photovoltaic plants, and biofuel/biomass power plants
Includes a review of common types of NDT techniques
Discusses future developments in NDT and condition monitoring for renewable energy systems
"It is possibly the funnest book with an agenda ever published." (Breeni Books) The use of comics at the beginning of the chapters had me chuckling and anticipating what I would read in the following chapter instead of just flipping through page after page of words, words, and more words. (Teresa, reviewer) StupidParty: Math vs Myth is a sometimes comical look at the current state of the Grand Old Party and how their Tea Party conservatives are missing the truth behind the numbers. The book should be required reading for Republicans and Democrats alike. Common sense and attention to reality seem to be the only way to reverse course on the gridlock and progress in Washington today. (Brian, reviewer) It is brimming over with cartoons, photographs, graphs, maps, data comparisons and quotes that serve to crystallize the author's points. He is careful to document everything in the book with readily accessible source information that is easily clickable. (Grady, reviewer) I consider myself a moderate Republican and could relate easily with many of the conclusions presented by Andendall. Common sense and shared power in American politics is necessary for maintain our values and standards of living. An insightful look that every citizen should review to keep themselves informed and making better choices of how we're governed.
