Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces

Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces

Product Description
It must be appreciated that no building surface is perfectly flat and that the best that can be expected is the appearance of flatness. Unfortunately, this appearance can easily be destroyed by the effect of glancing light, whether natural or artificial. Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces shows the effect of different light sources on a variety of lining materials and paints so that best effects can be achieved.Different types of building surfaces are investigated, including set plaster, fibrous plaster, hardboard and gypsum board with gloss and semi-gloss paint applied. This full-color edition also discusses new building materials such as cement sheet, polystyrene and various composite panels, as well as new building practices, low embodied energy materials and higher energy efficiency of buildings.

Illumination and Decoration of Flat Surfaces is a must-have for people involved in the building industry, both commercial and residential.

Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation: Proceedings of the conference held at the Kingston University

Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation: Proceedings of the conference held at the Kingston University

Product Description

The concrete industry has embraced innovation and ensured high levels of long-term performance and sustainability through creative applications in design and construction. As a construction material, the versatility of concrete and its intrinsic benefits mean it is still well placed to meet challenges of the construction industry. Indeed, concrete has kept evolving to satisfy ever more stringent, as well as demanding design requirements and calls to improve the performance. This has been achieved through the introduction of new constituent materials, technologies and construction methods.

The current challenges faced by concrete construction may not necessarily be the same as those in the future. However, an ongoing programme of innovation and product development means that concrete should continue to provide cost effective sustainable solutions that are able to turn a challenge into an opportunity.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Conference on Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation (Kingston-upon-Thames, UK, 9–10 September 2008). Excellence in Concrete Construction through Innovation deals with recent innovation in concrete science, technology and practice, and discusses challenges from new materials, technologies,
environmental concerns and economic factors in maintaining concrete construction excellence. The book will be of interest to engineers, designers, researchers and scientists.

The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame: Medievalism and the Monsters of Modernity

The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame: Medievalism and the Monsters of Modernity

The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame: Medievalism and the Monsters of Modernity

Product Description

Most of the seven million people who visit the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris each year probably do not realize that the legendary gargoyles adorning this medieval masterpiece were not constructed until the nineteenth century. The first comprehensive history of these world-famous monsters, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame argues that they transformed the iconic thirteenth-century cathedral into a modern monument. Michael Camille begins his long-awaited study by recounting architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc's ambitious restoration of the structure from 1843 to 1864, when the gargoyles were designed, sculpted by the little-known Victor Pyanet, and installed. These gargoyles, Camille contends, were not mere avatars of the Middle Ages, but rather fresh creations—symbolizing an imagined past—whose modernity lay precisely in their nostalgia. He goes on to map the critical reception and many-layered afterlives of these chimeras, notably in the works of such artists and writers as Charles Méryon, Victor Hugo, and photographer Henri Le Secq. Tracing their eventual evolution into icons of high kitsch, Camille ultimately locates the gargoyles' place in the twentieth-century imagination, exploring interpretations by everyone from Winslow Homer to the Walt Disney Company.

Lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred images of its monumental yet whimsical subjects, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame is a must-read for historians of art and architecture and anyone whose imagination has been sparked by the lovable monsters gazing out over Paris from one of the world's most renowned vantage points.

Human Error, Safety and Systems Development (IFIP International Federation for Information Processing)

Human Error, Safety and Systems Development (IFIP International Federation for Information Processing)

Product Description

Recent accidents in a range of industries have increased concern over the design, development, management and control of safety-critical systems. Attention has now focused upon the role of human error both in the development and in the operation of complex processes. Human Error, Safety and Systems Development gathers contributions from practitioners and researchers presenting and discussing leading edge techniques that can be used to mitigate the impact of error (both system and human) on safety-critical systems. Some of these contributions can be easily integrated into existing systems engineering practices while others provide a more theoretical and fundamental perspective on the issues raised by these kinds of interactive systems. More precisely the contributions cover the following themes:
?Techniques for incident and accident analysis;
?Empirical studies of operator behaviour in safety-critical systems;
?Observational studies of safety-critical systems;
?Risk assessment techniques for interactive systems;
?Safety-related interface design, development and testing;
?Formal description techniques for the design and development of safety-critical interactive systems.

Many diverse sectors are covered, including but not limited to aviation, maritime and the other transportation industries, the healthcare industry, process and power generation and military applications.

This volume contains 20 original and significant contributions addressing these critical questions. The papers were presented at the 7th IFIP Working Group 13.5 Working Conference on Human Error, Safety and Systems Development, which was held in August 2004 in conjunction with the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress in Toulouse, France, and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Configuration Management Best Practice Handbook: Building, Running and Managing a Configuration Management Data Base, CMDB

Configuration Management Best Practice Handbook: Building, Running and Managing a Configuration Management Data Base, CMDB

Product Description
Covers every detail, including some missed in other books. This thorough book provides a clear roadmap to designing, implementing and operating Configuration Management. The author leaves no key process out and completely covers everything from initial concept to measuring effectiveness and process improvement.

The book starts with an initial strategy that is focused on planning Configuration Management services that are completely aligned to requirements and are based on a mission statement. This business-oriented approach is refreshing and will keep IT grounded in the real reasons for a Configuration Management. More importantly is the process for careful selection of services to provide. An overly ambitious set of service goals will kill a Configuration Management implementation early in its life by offering too much before there is a stable Configuration Management process in place. This book is realistic and lays the foundation for a successful implementation.

The section on the actual design of the Configuration Management structure provides insights and information that can be applied to a large number of solutions. Since Configuration Management will be organized in accordance with requirements and unique mission statements, this section of the book is like a catalog of patterns. It has excellent tips on how to best structure Configuration Management to meet requirements and mission. The information on accurately estimating requirements is consistent with industry best practices and something that, believe it or not, is often overlooked when Configuration Management is established.

This book gets into the meat by thoroughly covering the processes that are essential to running Configuration Management. There are many topics that stand out as both unique [to books of this genre] and reflect best practices by the best-run Configuration Management Managers. Examples are change control, disaster recovery and vendor management. These topics show that the author not only considers business alignment, but also cross-functional alignment within IT.

Professional resources and underlying technology are provided in detail.

This book contains an in-depth coverage of operational requirements for Configuration Management once it has been implemented. It hits all of the critical success factors, such as performance metrics, service level agreements, communications and internal evaluations. It even has a chapter on marketing, which is something that is important but not often done by most Configuration Management Managers. This proactive approach to keeping users (your customers) informed of new services, accomplishments and tips is excellent and will go a long way towards attaining high customer satisfaction scores – not to mention proving the value of the Configuration Management to IT and business management.

You will find this book to be one of the best for planning and implementing world-class Configuration Management.
