Book excerpt: El libro presenta resultados de varios procesos del Grupo de Investigación y Desarrollo en Operación del Tránsito (GIDOT), obtenidos de estudios realizados en el marco de proyectos de investigación y consultorías. Aquí se integran proyectos como el de "Dinámicas urbanas" (SGI 840 de la UPTC), en que se diseñó una síntesis metodológica, conceptual sobre el sistema de gestión en la prevención del riesgo de accidentes viales; además, se incluyeron métodos para la selección y procesamiento de fuentes de información con el uso del análisis espacial como propuesta para el tratamiento geoestadístico de los datos de accidentes en zonas urbanas. El proyecto "Implementación de un programa de investigación en accidentes de tránsito aplicando pruebas piloto de intervención en terreno, para el fortalecimiento de la seguridad vial en corredores críticos de accidentalidad vial del transporte público intermunicipal" (Mintransporte, Minciencias y SENA), donde se obtuvo el diseño de metodologías con aplicación de instrumentos técnicos para la implementación de pruebas pilotos que apoyaron la identificación de tramos de concentración de accidentes, con estrategias para incidir en su seguridad vial. El proyecto sobre la estructuración y creación del "Observatorio de seguridad vial del departamento de Boyacá" (ITBOY), que facilitó la creación de este organismo de recopilación-investigación-extensión, encargado de la gestión de bases de datos de accidentalidad, sus labores se concentraron en proyectos de seguridad vial con directrices y recomendaciones formuladas para informar al público, a las comunidades y a los entes legisladores, operadores y órganos responsables, así como para la aplicación de programas nacionales, regionales y locales con propósitos de disminución de los índices de accidentalidad. Finalmente, se suma el proyecto desarrollado para la Secretaría Distrital de Movilidad de Bogotá, que determinó la investigación de acciones para la actualización del manual de auditoría de seguridad vial.

Book excerpt: On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Biological Wastewater Treatment written by Mogens Henze and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1881 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.
