This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este capítulo se describen las técnicas más adecuadas para presentar la información geológica para su análisis y utilización en proyectos ingenieriles, la cual puede ser a través de gráficas, imágenes, tablas o inclusive en forma escrita. Los mapas, las secciones o cortes verticales, los bloques isométricos y los diagramas estereográficos son las formas de representación gráfica más efectivas para mostrar los hechos y procesos geológicos.Por otro lado, los diagramas (alfa-numéricos) tratan de ordenar, sintetizar, integrar y hacer más clara la información que puede ser voluminosa en un momento dado.En los trabajos de ingeniería geológica se presenta la información en forma individual o integrada, para la cual se utilizan representaciones tales como, mapas geológicos, mapas geotécnicos, perfiles geotécnicos individuales, perfiles geotécnicos integrados, imágenes y fotografías,y diagramas. El objetivo principal de los mapas geológicos y del proceso cartográfico es representar de manera fiel, y objetivala ocurrencia y distribución de las rocas y suelos, así como de las estructuras geológicas que se encuentran en la superficie del terreno y del subsuelo. El resultado de toda exploración geológica de un sitio, ya sea durante la etapa preliminar, de detalle, construcción, operación o mantenimiento, se podrá presentar en uno o varios informes geológicos. La compilación de la información geológica existente y del levantamiento geológico-geotécnico es primordial para la integración del informe, y de gran utilidad para los ingenieros encargados de la construcción de la obra civil. En los informes de estudios de detalle se deberán tener en cuenta únicamente los problemas relacionados directamente con el proyecto y con el tipo de obra. Ello ayudará a prever y planear adecuadamente los lineamientos de investigación y dificultades a las que se enfrentarán.
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este capítulo se describen los temas de obtención y análisis de la información geológica. Para la obtención de datos geológicos que requiere un estudio con enfoque geotécnico, hay que establecer una descripción de los objetivos y una metodología de un programa de exploración, así como un breve análisis de las actividades que se desarrollaran en las distintas etapas. Posteriormente, se presentan en forma detallada los diferentes métodos que existen para obtener los datos geológicos necesarios en cada una de las etapas de investigación de un sitio.La información necesaria para determinar la factibilidad de un proyecto de obra civil desde el punto de vista geológico incluye: litología, discontinuidades, estratigrafía, geomorfología, hidrología, geodinámica externa, geodinámica interna, materiales de construcción, y las modificaciones del medio natural debidas a la acción del hombre.El objetivo general de un programa de exploración con fines geotécnicos, es identificar las características del entorno geológico que pueden influir o impactar en la construcción de una obra civil incluyendo los siguientes pasos: definición de la naturaleza, definición de las condiciones geo-hidrológicas, identificación de los riesgos geológicos, obtención de muestras en exploración subdividiendo los métodos directos e indirectos los cuales son la cartografía superficial para precisar las condiciones geológicas, seccionamiento del subsuelo, muestreo de materiales, y realizar pruebas in situ. La exploración de un sitio para un proyecto, diseño y construcción de una obra civil se desarrolla en etapas, las cuales quedan enmarcadas dentro de la ingeniería de diseño que es una actividad socio económica para beneficio de la sociedad, en la cual, los principios científicos, los de ingeniería y los de conducta, aunados a información técnica y a la experiencia, se aplican con habilidad, imaginación y juicio, en la creación de proyectos, procesos o sistemas económicamente funcionales, estéticamente agradables y ambientalmente aceptables.
Download or read book Museum Theory written by Andrea Witcomb and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MUSEUM THEORY EDITED BY ANDREA WITCOMB AND KYLIE MESSAGE Museum Theory offers critical perspectives drawn from a broad range of disciplinary and intellectual traditions. This volume describes and challenges previous ways of understanding museums and their relationship to society. Essays written by scholars from museology and other disciplines address theoretical reflexivity in the museum, exploring the contextual, theoretical, and pragmatic ways museums work, are understood, and are experienced. Organized around three themes—Thinking about Museums, Disciplines and Politics, and Theory from Practice/Practicing Theory—the text includes discussion and analysis of different kinds of museums from various, primarily contemporary, national and local contexts. Essays consider subjects including the nature of museums as institutions and their role in the public sphere, cutting-edge museum practice and their connections with current global concerns, and the links between museum studies and disciplines such as cultural studies, anthropology, and history.
Download or read book Social Media and the Post Truth World Order written by Gabriele Cosentino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses post-truth not merely as a Western issue, but as a problematic political and cultural condition with global ramifications. By locating the roots of the phenomenon in the trust crisis suffered by liberal democracy and its institutions, the book argues that post-truth serves as a space for ideological conflicts and geopolitical power struggles that are reshaping the world order. The era of post-truth politics is thus here to stay, and its reach is increasingly global: Russian trolls organizing events on social media attended by thousands of unaware American citizens; Turkish pro-government activists amplifying on Twitter conspiracy theories concocted via Internet imageboards by online subcultures in the United States; American and European social media users spreading fictional political narratives in support of the Syrian regime; and Facebook offering a platform for a harassment campaign by Buddhist ultra-nationalists in Myanmar that led to the killing of thousands of Muslims. These are just some of the examples that demonstrate the dangerous effects of the Internet-driven global diffusion of disinformation and misinformation. Grounded on a theoretical framework yet written in an engaging and accessible way, this timely book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers and citizens concerned with the impact of social media on politics.
Download or read book The Soils of Mexico written by Pavel Krasilnikov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico is an extensive country with an extremely complex mosaic of landscapes. The soils of Mexico have still not been completely studied, and there are few publications available on this subject. This book provides a state-of-the-art view on Mexican soils, their geographical distribution, their use and degradation. This is a first attempt to give a systematized characteristic of the soil resources of Mexico. Land resources of the second-biggest economy in Latin America are critical for its sustainable development, and a demand for adequate soil information is high. The information contained within can be used for any soil-related research done in Mexico and in neighboring countries. The book includes detailed characteristics of soils of all the physiographic regions of Mexico with maps, photos and explanatory schemes. The book is based on the experiences of the authors in research and soil survey, as well as on the existent, mainly ‘grey’ literature on Mexican soils. The book is recommended for researchers and university readers, students of all levels and decision-makers, working in the area of soil science, environmental issues, Earth sciences, land management and nature conservation.
Download or read book The Metainterface written by Christian Ulrik Andersen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the interface has moved from the PC into cultural platforms, as seen in a series of works of net art, software art and electronic literature. The computer interface is both omnipresent and invisible, at once embedded in everyday objects and characterized by hidden exchanges of information between objects. The interface has moved from office into culture, with devices, apps, the cloud, and data streams as new cultural platforms. In The Metainterface, Christian Ulrik Andersen and Søren Bro Pold examine the relationships between art and interfaces, tracing the interface's disruption of everyday cultural practices. They present a new interface paradigm of cloud services, smartphones, and data capture, and examine how particular art forms—including net art, software art, and electronic literature—seek to reflect and explore this paradigm. Andersen and Pold argue that despite attempts to make the interface disappear into smooth access and smart interaction, it gradually resurfaces; there is a metainterface to the displaced interface. Art can help us see this; the interface can be an important outlet for aesthetic critique. Andersen and Pold describe the “semantic capitalism” of a metainterface industry that captures user behavior; the metainterface industry's disruption of everyday urban life, changing how the city is read, inhabited, and organized; the ways that the material displacement of the cloud affects the experience of the interface; and the potential of designing with an awareness of the language and grammar of interfaces.
Download or read book The Andes written by Axel Borsdorf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este capítulo trata sobre la importancia de la geología moderna en general, y de la información geológica en particular para resolver proyectos ingenieriles. La Geología moderna es la ciencia natural encargada del estudio de la Tierra, de los materiales que la constituyen, de los procesos internos que causan el movimiento de su corteza, y del estudio de los procesos externos que genera la acción del movimiento de los fluidos de la atmósfera y de la hidrósfera. Es una ciencia compleja que utiliza a las ciencias exactas como la Física, la Matemática y la Química para cuantificar mejor los procesos geológicos.A través de las obras de ingeniería civil y de la minería, se ha descubierto que los suelos y rocas, cuando se les considera como material ingenieril, están sujetas a una serie de condiciones mecánicas y de resistencias particulares. La estabilidad de las excavaciones en roca, tanto superficiales y subterráneas dependerá de la resistencia de la propia roca y de la resistencia al corte a lo largo de los planos de discontinuidad. Durante las exploraciones geológicas del terreno, los primeros datos directos se obtienen de las visitas preliminares, de fotografías aéreas, imágenes de satélite, mapas geológicos, cartas topográficas, y en general, de toda la información geológica-geotécnica publicada disponible, y de la información directa inicial derivada de los levantamientos de reconocimiento. En el caso particular de las excavaciones superficiales y subterráneas, las condiciones y características que contribuyen de manera significativa en la estabilidad del macizo rocoso se pueden dividir en los siguientes factores: Geológicos, Hidrogeológicos, y Geotécnicos. El objetivo de los estudios geológicos y geotécnicos es asegurar que los factores geológicos condicionantes se tomen en consideración, y se interpreten correctamente, así como la prevención o reducción de los efectos de los riesgos geológicos en las obras de ingeniería.
Download or read book The Graphic Novel written by Jan Baetens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides both students and scholars with a critical and historical introduction to the graphic novel. Jan Baetens and Hugo Frey explore this exciting form of visual and literary communication, showing readers how to situate and analyse graphic novels since their rise to prominence half a century ago. Several key questions are addressed: what is the graphic novel? How do we read graphic novels as narrative forms? Why is page design and publishing format so significant? What theories are developing to explain the genre? How is this form blurring the categories of high and popular literature? Why are graphic novelists nostalgic for the old comics? The authors address these and many other questions raised by the genre. Through their analysis of the works of many well-known graphic novelists - including Bechdel, Clowes, Spiegelman and Ware - Baetens and Frey offer significant insights for future teaching and research on the graphic novel.

Download or read book Autobiographical Comics written by Elisabeth El Refaie and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A troubled childhood in Iran. Living with a disability. Grieving for a dead child. Over the last forty years the comic book has become an increasingly popular way of telling personal stories of considerable complexity and depth. In Autobiographical Comics: Life Writing in Pictures, Elisabeth El Refaie offers a long overdue assessment of the key conventions, formal properties, and narrative patterns of this fascinating genre. The book considers eighty-five works of North American and European provenance, works that cover a broad range of subject matters and employ many different artistic styles. Drawing on concepts from several disciplinary fields--including semiotics, literary and narrative theory, art history, and psychology--El Refaie shows that the traditions and formal features of comics provide new possibilities for autobiographical storytelling. For example, the requirement to produce multiple drawn versions of one's self necessarily involves an intense engagement with physical aspects of identity, as well as with the cultural models that underpin body image. The comics medium also offers memoirists unique ways of representing their experience of time, their memories of past events, and their hopes and dreams for the future. Furthermore, autobiographical comics creators are able to draw on the close association in contemporary Western culture between seeing and believing in order to persuade readers of the authentic nature of their stories.
