PostDomestiCity is an inquiry and speculative exercise into the conditions of obsolescence in the post-industrial city, from a contemporary perspective. Working with three paradigmatic cases that were conceived from industrial logics—the Packard plant in Detroit, Lima’s PREVI neighbourhood, and theGrand’Mare complex in Rouen—, we explore alternative ways of reusing, reprogramming, and redensifying the built environment as alternatives to demolition. Relevant voices in the field of architecture share their approaches and visions of the future for the pre-existing city, helping us imagine post-domesticity in the current climate crisis and socio-technological context.

The book provides a series of reflections on Heritage Problems, Causes and Solutions, that have maturated during many years of study and research in Europe. It shows how this subject is inside the Critical Restoration. Its central nucleous of study is composed by specific in-depth three thematic sessions: Part I Methodological Approach to Conservation; physical approach. Part II Heritage Problems, causes and solutions. Part III Construction applied to Heritage. The authors have collected thematic essays on key issues during their didactic experiences in the course of Theory and Practice on Conservation in Faculty of Architecture, Sapienza University of Rome, and in courses of the Department of Construction and Technologics applied to Architecture, in ETSAM, UPM, and in other european universities.
After the success of the first edition, Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell has been thoroughly updated and revised to provide a complete grounding in the principles and techniques of programming with functions. The second edition uses the popular language Haskell to express functional programs. There are new chapters on program optimisation, abstract datatypes in a functional setting, and programming in a monadic style. There are complete new case studies, and many new exercises. As in the first edition, there is an emphasis on the fundamental techniques for reasoning about functional programs, and for deriving them systematically from their specifications. The book is self-contained, assuming no prior knowledge of programming and is suitable as an introductory undergraduate text for first- or second-year students.
El REY VICTORINO es una historia que nos abre una definida pero infinita ventana al tiempo del Reino prometido por el Hijo de Dios. Aquí no hay prolepsis que destruya ni luchas entre palabras agudas, esdrújulas, graves o regulares, sino un prolijo enlace desde ese futuro en que se nos predijo desde antaño.En ella el lector reirá por las simpáticas ocurrencias del rey y los que lo rodean junto a las aventuras que le suceden no solo en el 'Reino del Tocororo', donde él gobierna a su pueblo, pero también en el viaje que emprende durante los últimos siete años del Gran Reino Milenario; es decir, desde el año 992 al 999 del GRM, comenzando con la travesía que en carrozas engalanadas cruza primeramente por la Región Atlántica: ahora tierra seca convertida en un Edén de proporciones inimaginables.En el transcurso de la historia los personajes y caracteres alrededor del rey Victorino interactúan en diálogos y situaciones atrapadas dentro del viaje, mientras el rey rememora todos los pasajes bíblicos que en el 'viejo siglo' nos anunciaban la promesa del Reino Milenario; es por tanto un libro que cita la Palabra de Dios con frecuencia, aunque por tratarse de varias esta vez a pie de página se nos agregan las citas donde pueden ser encontradas; y asegurándonos que la justicia eterna no es promesa hueca, sino aumentativa locomotora que se acerca a la velocidad que Dios el Creador ha predestinado en la dispensación del tiempo y las épocas.

The work of geotechnical engineers contributes to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax all over the world. Advances are constantly being made, and the expertise of the profession becomes ever more important with the increased pressure on space and resources. This book presents the proceedings of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2015. This conference, held every four years, is an important opportunity for international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies to meet and exchange ideas and research findings in the areas of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, mining and environmental engineering. The articles are divided into nine sections: transportation geotechnics; in-situ testing; geo-engineering for energy and sustainability; numerical modeling in geotechnics; foundations and ground improvement; unsaturated soil behavior; embankments, dams and tailings; excavations and tunnels; and geo-risks, and cover a wide spectrum of issues from fundamentals to applications in geotechnics. This book will undoubtedly represent an essential reference for academics, researchers and practitioners in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, approximately 65% of the contributions are in English, and 35% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.
O livro, "... Não Verá a Deus" é um livro que tenta transmitir, não a ideia de que o Homem morre na Terra, sem ver Deus porque como Deus transmitiu ao Homem, este vê-lo-á aquando do seu julgamento no Céu, mas sim, que o Homem não verá a Deus só porque não acredita na existencia de Deus. Pode-se até considerar a morte do Homem, na Terra, como a razão do sentido da vida do Homem, que é ver Deus e, por isso, o Homem não morre por morrer, mas sim, com a razão de ver a Deus, no Seu dominio que é o Céu, pelo que se não fosse esta razão, a morte não existia. E, por isso, tal como a montanha não vai a Maomé, embora existindo, vai Maomé à montanha e, da mesma forma, não vindo Deus ao Homem, embora já o tenha feito hão dois mil anos atrás, sem ter sido reconhecido pelo Homem, vai este a Deus que tambem existe, tal como a montanha.
