Initiatives, such as INSPIRE and the US DHS Geospatial Data Model, are working to develop a rich set of standards that will create harmonized models and themes for the spatial information infrastructure. However, this is only the first step. Semantically meaningful models must still be developed in order to stimulate interoperability. Creatin

In this fully up-to-date volume, important new developments and applications of discrete element modelling are highlighted and brought together for presentation at the First International UDEC/3DEC Symposium. Papers covered the following key areas: * behaviour of masonry structures (walls, bridges, towers, columns) * stability and deformation of tunnels and caverns in fractured rock masses * geomechanical modelling for mining and waste repositories * rock reinforcement design (anchors, shotcrete, bolts) * mechanical and hydro-mechanical behaviour of dams and foundations * rock slope stability, deformation and failure mechanisms * modelling of fundamental rock mechanical problems * modelling of geological processes * constitutive laws for fractured rock masses and masonry structures * dynamic behaviour of discrete structures. Numerical Modelling of Discrete Materials in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Earth Sciences provides an ultra-modern, in-depth analysis of discrete element modelling in a range of different fields, thus proving valuable reading for civil, mining, and geotechnical engineers, as well as other interested professionals.

Stroke-Survivor's Pathway of Success! COMMON COMPUTER ABBREVIATIONS Up-to-Date Reference Guide to Abbreviations in Computers and Internet By: John S. DeSousa, B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E. (Stroke-Survivor)This book has been written with non-technical individuals in mind, and every effort has been made to collect the most frequently used abbreviations. In first part of this book, few hundreds of pages are dedicated to listings of abbreviations used in Computers and Internet. In second part ten useful appendices are given as: 1. Appendix A: Electrical information to operate a computer or laptop. 2. Appendix B: SI electrical characteristic symbols. 3. Appendix C: Scietific usage of Greek Alphabet. 4. Appendix D: Decimal prefixes used in computers. 5. Appendix E: Latin and Roman numerical symbols. 6. Appendix F: "Smiley Faces" in E-mail and Newsgroup. 7. Appendix G: "Country Code E-mail" to locate origin of an E-mail. 8. Appendix H: A guide to metric measurement conversion. 9. Appendix I: US spelled words versus International English. 10.Appendix J: Inspiring and motivation words.

Globalisation has not led to the ‘death of geography’. Intensified relations between communities in different parts of the world have only highlighted the need for understanding and managing phenomena on a variety of geographic scales. From global warming to credit crunch, and from epidemics to terrorism, causes and solutions are sought on local, regional, national as well as inter-continental levels. With the advent of Geospatial Technology, scholars, policymakers and entrepreneurs have valuable tools in hand to proceed. This book offers the first systematic account of the science behind this mental and technological revolution. Tracing the adoption and dissemination of Geospatial Technology in a range of disciplines, it examines the impact this technology has had, and is likely to have, on the explanation of spatial behaviour, phenomena and processes. At the same time, stressing innovative usage, it explores scientific contributions to technology advancement.
