In un’epoca in cui sia l’opinione pubblica, sia la normativa assegnano un ruolo centrale all’igiene e alla sicurezza degli alimenti, tutte le industrie del settore alimentare – dalla trasformazione delle materie prime fino alla vendita e alla somministrazione – avvertono l’esigenza di procedure di sanificazione sempre più efficaci e perfezionate.
The first world atlas ever compiled on vernacular architecture, this comprehensive work illustrates the variety and ingenuity of the world's vernacular building traditions from a multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural and comparative approach, using over sixty world and regional maps.
Since the spread of classical design and construction amongst the upper echolons of British society in the late seventeenth century, traditional construction methods have largely fallen by the wayside.
The security and economic stability of many nations and multinational oil companies are highly dependent on the safe and uninterrupted operation of their oil, gas and chemical facilities.
This book is based on several decades of authors' research and practical experience in the areas of industrial and commercial buildings ventilation and energy efficiency as well as in process optimization in different types of industrial facilities.
Drawing upon the smart experiences of "e;world class"e; cities in North America, Canada and Europe, this book provides the evidence to show how entrepreneurship-based and market-dependent representations of knowledge production are now being replaced with a community of policy makers, academic leaders, corporate strategists and growth management alliances, with the potential to liberate cities from the stagnation which they have previously been locked into by offering communities: the freedom to develop polices, with the leadership and strategies capable of reaching beyond the idea of "e;creative slack"e;; a process of reinvention, whereby cities become "e;smarter,"e; in using intellectual capital to not only meet the efficiency requirements of wealth creation, but to become centres of creative slack; the political leadership capable of not only being economically innovative, or culturally creative, but enterprising in opening-up, reflexively absorbing and discursively shaping the democratic governance of such developments; the democratic governance to sustain such developments.
Ein Baustoff hat die Art des Bauens im Zuge der technischen Entwicklung und der Industrialisierung in den letzten Jahrzehnten besonders stark verändert: Stahlbeton.
E-maintenance is the synthesis of two major trends in today's society: the growing importance of maintenance as a key technology and the rapid development of information and communication technology.
Siting of permanent and temporary buildings in process areas requires careful consideration of potential effects of explosions and fires arising from accidental release of flammable materials.
Praise for Construction Project Management by Peter Fewings: "e;The complexity of the subject matter has at least been reinforced in an informative document with a large helping of common sense .
This state of the art report from an international task group (TG44) of CIB, the International Council of Building Research Organizations, presents a highly authoritative guide to the application of innovative technologies on response control and seismic isolation of buildings to practice worldwide.
Die Sicherung von Baugruben ist in den vergangenen Jahren eine zunehmend komplexere und schwierigere Ingenieuraufgabe geworden, da Baugruben immer größer, tiefer und oft neben vorhandenen Bauwerken ausgeführt werden mußten.
Synthetic biology offers powerful remedies for some of the world's most intractable problems, but these solutions are clouded by uncertainty and risk that few strategies are available to address.
Managing Change in Construction Projects: a knowledge-based approach offers a new perspective on construction project change by viewing the process of change management as a knowledge-intensive activity, where team members bring their tacit and explicit knowledge into the situation; share, create and capture this collective knowledge for future re-use in similar situations.
