Download or read book Hashi written by Alastair Chisholm and published by Crombie Jardine. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hashi (short for Hashiwokakero, meaning "build bridges") is a new logic puzzle from Japan. In Hashi, the goal is to join islands together with up to two vertical or horizontal bridges, so that every island is connected. The larger in number value the island, the more bridges connect to it (an island of size 6 must be connected to 6 bridges), and no bridge can cross another. Successful logic puzzles have certain things in common: a unique game with one solution, easy to pick up, fun and challenging, able to be put down and picked back up again. Hashi has all these qualities, and puzzle master Alastair Chisholm has created 201 puzzles in three levels of difficulty--Easy, Medium, and Hard; you'll be thinking about them even when you're not working on them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - The symposium Homo ex Data - Design in the Age of Big Data and this publication mark the launch of the Red Dot Network pilot project on topical issues such as Big Data, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality from a design perspective The development of social media, online services, smartphones and devices, autonomous vehicles and robots has meant that both software and hardware, programs and products, as well as computers and machines are increasingly participating in human communication. A new artificial intelligence is evolving that no longer tries to copy natural human intelligence, but incessantly collects data we make available to it by using the Internet and owning smart and mobile appliances. With the help of algorithms, behavior patterns are identified, and predictions made whose significance increase with the amount of data we supply. The articles in this book, which have been written for the symposium Homo ex Data - Design in the Age of Big Data, also show that we have more decisions to make about the subject of artificial intelligence than just those about 0 and 1. Designers whose views are expressed in this anthology and who are closely involved with the design of digital media and products will have to make further decisions if they wish to shape human activity, behavior and experience. This realization is reflected in the breadth and scope of the various contributions.

Book excerpt: "20 years after the publication of the first edition of the book Designing Success, Professor Dr. Peter Zec, an expert on design and business communications, now presents a comprehensively revised version of his book that has long been out of print. Designing Success - Design as a Corporate and Product Strategy takes account of the social and economic changes of recent years and provides companies with an up-to-date guideline that explains how they can achieve success with the help of design. The book highlights the important role that design can play not only in product development, but also for the strategic orientation of an organisation - both in business management, as well as in company and product communication. The author furthermore offers numerous best-practice examples to illustrate how well-known companies have used design in the past in order to be successful in the market." --
Download or read book Model Code for Service Life Design written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: fib Bulletin 34 addresses Service Life Design (SLD) for plain concrete, reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete structures, with a special focus on design provisions for managing the adverse effects of degradation. Its objective is to identify agreed durability related models and to prepare the framework for standardization of performance based design approaches. Four different options for SLD are given: - a full probabilistic approach, - a semi probabilistic approach (partial factor design), - deemed to satisfy rules, - avoidance of deterioration. The service life design approaches described in this document may be applied for the design of new structures, for updating the service life design if the structure exists and real material properties and/or the interaction of environment and structure can be measured (real concrete covers, carbonation depths), and for calculating residual service life. The bulletin is divided into five chapters: 1. General 2. Basis of design 3. Verification of Service Life Design 4. Execution and its quality management 5. Maintenance and condition control It also includes four informative annexes, which give background information and examples of procedures and deterioration models for the application in SLD. The format of Bulletin 34 follows the CEB-FIP tradition for Model Codes: the main provisions are given on the right-hand side of the page, and on the left-hand side, the comments. Note: An Italian translation of Bulletin 34 is also available; contact us for further details.
