    Geotechnical engineering is now a fundamental component of construction projects. The second volume of this book addresses the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and the role of water in geotechnical projects and assessments. Applied Geotechnics for Construction Projects 2 outlines the hydraulic properties of soils and the basic concepts of water in soil, detailing the principles of permeability measurement tests and giving concrete test cases, and then goes on to outline the basic notions of soil mechanics as applied in geotechnics: from consolidation to short- and long-term notions via the swelling phenomena of clayey soils, soil shear strength and slope stability. The third chapter presents a comprehensive overview of geotechnical expertise using examples of concrete projects either with or without damage in the context of geotechnical construction works. Each chapter of this second volume provides concrete examples of applications to real projects and the rules and lessons we must remember. The result is a combination of geotechnical expertise and lessons learned from experience, both of which are highly valuable in the field of applied geotechnics for construction projects.

    Understand and navigate the coming tumultuous period of political, societal, and economic unrest In The Great Reset, noted financial expert and multiple New York Times best-selling author John Mauldin helps you understand the enormous and widespread social, political, and financial problems we are facing. Multiple different cycle theories all suggest a crisis coming at the end of the decade. Mauldin enables you to find your own personal path through them, as various crises reach a breaking point in the next few years. Analyzing the theories of leading thought leaders in the field along with viewpoints of his own, Mauldin delivers a nuanced view of historical cycles and what they tell us about the rest of this decade. In this book, readers will learn about the theories of: Neil Howe, who originally predicted the very conditions we are going through today in the 90s George Friedman, who argues there are actually two geopolitical cycles of 50 and 80 years, and for the first time we are at the end of both concurrently, as well as the revolt against "experts" wanting to control our lives Peter Turchin, who focuses on the overproduction of "elites" and the disparities in income and wealth it creates and forecasts a potentially violent pushback Ray Dalio, who uses a 16-variable model to quantify and predict past and probable future cycles and now suggests a 40% possibility of a civil war Mauldin explains how the explosion of government debt will bring about the End of the Debt SuperCycle and trigger the crises mentioned above Most importantly, this is ultimately an optimistic book as it predicts a powerful and positive outcome as a period of cooperation, something now inconceivable, develops as it always does during crises and the future is enhanced by amazing new technologies and fabulous opportunities on the near horizon. The Great Restart is an essential, timely read for all individuals and families seeking clarity on the problems plaguing humanity, protection from the chaos, and insight on how we can pave a profitable and better path forward for ourselves, families, friends and countries

Designed specifically for non-specialists, this reader-friendly resource covers the fundamentals of financial reporting and writing in jargon-free English. The books value is enhanced by offering the unique view of not just how financial information is interpreted from external parties reading financial reports from the "outside looking in", but more importantly, how financial information is accumulated, prepared, and reported from the "inside looking out", to the target audience, whether external professionals or internal management. Veteran financial consultant and author Tage C. Tracy breaks down the content provided in this book into three easy-to-understand parts. To start, part one helps readers understand the importance of effectively communicating financial information to their target audience, especially concerning where the data is sourced from, how the data is consolidated, and more. The basics of financial statements, reports, and information is covered second, as no one can write a financial report without this fundamental knowledge. Tracy concludes by discussing the importance of utilizing different financial statements, reports, information, KPIs, and other strategies in presenting the financial performance story that needs to be communicated to all the readers of your report, even if they aren't experts in accounting and finance. How to Write a Financial Report earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of investors, lenders, business leaders, analysts, and managers looking for the practical knowledge needed to write an effective and communicative financial report from start to finish.

    The genome of a living being is composed of DNA sequences with diverse origins. Beyond single-copy genes, whose product has a biological function that can be inferred by experimentation, certain DNA sequences, present in a large number of copies, escape the most refined approaches aimed at elucidating their precise role. The existence of what 20th century geneticists had already perceived (and wrongly described as "junk DNA"!) was confirmed by the sequencing of the first complex genomes, including that of Homo sapiens. A large part of what defines a living thing is not unique, but repeated, sometimes a very large number of times, increasing in complexity with successive duplications and multiplication. Understanding and defining the many functions of this myriad of repeated sequences, as well as their evolution through natural selection, has become one of the major challenges for 21st century genomics.

    Outer space is subject to a legal framework; there is a set of rules specifically dedicated to outer space and to the activities carried out there. These rules have developed since 1957, the year the first artificial satellite was launched. Major changes have also affected the technology used and the actors involved, as well as the domains concerned by the exploration and use of outer space. Space Law will lay out the progressive densification of the legal framework that is applicable to outer space and the activities that are carried out there. Without claiming to be exhaustive, the aim of this book is to present the main primary sources of space law, its main principles, the diversity of its fields of application and the challenges and issues that the development of space activities inevitably raises.

    From a cluster of interconnected HTML pages to online service platforms, websites are constantly changing in form and function. These transformations have led, on the one hand, to human and social sciences renewing or inventing analytical methodologies; and on the other hand, to a reconsideration of the practices of non-specialists and digital professionals. The Web factory is equally included on the agenda of communication training, according to an alternative approach that is complementary to the one that has been implemented for computer scientists. From these two perspectives and drawing upon several case studies, Analyzing Websites presents epistemological and methodological contributions from researchers in Information and Communication Sciences exploring websites as sociotechnical, semi-discursive and communicational devices. This study covers website design as well as their integration into the digital strategies of organizations in the public, associative and private sectors.

    This book presents how Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the use of shared representation of built assets facilitate design, construction and operation processes (ISO 19650). The modeling of public works data disrupts the art of construction. Written by both academics and engineers who are heavily involved in the French research project Modélisation des INformations INteropérables pour les INfrastructues Durables (MINnD) as well as in international standardization projects, this book presents the challenges of BIM from theoretical and practical perspectives. It provides knowledge for evolving in an ecosystem of federated models and common data environments, which are the basis of the platforms and data spaces. BIM makes it possible to handle interoperability very concretely, using open standards, which lead to openBIM. The use of a platform allows for the merging of business software and for approaches such as a Geographic Information System (GIS) to be added to the processes. In organizations, BIM meets the life cycles of structures and circular economy. It is not only a technique that reshapes cooperation and trades around a digital twin but can also disrupt organizations and business models.

    This book deals with the geological record and the evolution of ideas concerning the Variscan orogenic belt in France and neighboring regions. Volume 1 is based on a general introduction concerning the imprint of the Variscan period on the geology of France, as well as on the particularities of the study of this ancient orogen. A history of the concepts applied to the Variscan belt is proposed in order to consider this orogen in the history of Earth Sciences. A paleogeodynamic analysis of the Variscan cycle sets the general framework for the evolution of the orogen, which is then tackled through the prism of the magmatic, metamorphic and tectonic record of the early phases (from Cambrian to Lower Carboniferous). Volume 2 proposes an analysis of the late evolution of the Variscan orogenic belt, reflecting its dismantling in a high-temperature context during the Upper Carboniferous and Permian. The sedimentary archives are described, as well as the questions raised by the specificities of this ancient orogen.

    This book on energy physics and energy efficiency discusses two essential components of energy physics: the fundamentals and the criteria. It covers the historical basis of Carnot models, the thermostatic cycles of double-function heat pumps and the optimization of thermomechanical engines, and discusses the results of various investigations, bringing together a number of previous works. The latter half of this book introduces the concept of "Circular Thermoeconomics" and assesses the physical costs of recycling waste in increasingly complex industrial processes. It then goes on to present "Relative Free Energy", allowing us to create a new mathematical theory of thermodynamic costs in order to diagnose malfunctions in thermal systems. The book shows the progression of knowledge on the existence of successive energy, power and efficiency, and pairs this with the economic aspects, which are already becoming linked to growing environmental concerns.
