Borderlands culture.September 11, 2001 marked the beginning of a new era of security imperatives for many countries. The border between Canada and the United States suddenly emerged from relative obscurity to become a focus of constant attention by media, federal and state/provincial governments on both sides of the boundary, and the public at large. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the Canada-USA border in its 21st century form, placing it within the context of border and borderlands theory, globalization and the changing geopolitical dialogue. It argues that this border has been reinvented as a 'state of the art', technology-steeped crossing system, while the image of the border has been engineered to appear consistent with the 'friendly' border of the past. It shows how a border can evolve to a heightened level of security and yet continue to function well, sustaining the massive flow of trade. It argues whether, in doing so, the US-Canada border offers a model for future borderlands. Although this model is still evolving and still aspires toward better management practices, the template may prove useful, not only for North America, but also in conflict border zones as well as the meshed border regions of the EU, Africa's artificial line boundaries and other global situations.Border regions series.BorderlandsUnited StatesBorderlandsCanadaBorder securityUnited StatesBorder securityCanadaNational securityUnited StatesNational securityCanadaTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyUnited StatesTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyCanadaSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001InfluenceUnited StatesRelationsCanadaCanadaRelationsUnited StatesBorderlandsBorderlandsBorder securityBorder securityNational securityNational securityTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyTerrorismPreventionGovernment policySeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Influence.303.48/273071Konrad Victor A.939990Nicol Heather N(Heather Nora),1953-881672MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154583303321Beyond walls2119444UNINA02782nam 22005895 450 991074610020332120260331150002.0981-19-6254-510.1007/978-981-19-6254-7(MiAaPQ)EBC30745201(Au-PeEL)EBL30745201(DE-He213)978-981-19-6254-7(PPN)272738808(CKB)28225229900041(EXLCZ)992822522990004120230914d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGeotechnical Reliability Analysis Theories, Methods and Algorithms /by Jie Zhang, Te Xiao, Jian Ji, Peng Zeng, Zijun Cao1st ed. 2023.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (323 pages)Print version: Zhang, Jie Geotechnical Reliability Analysis Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789811962530 Chapter 1: Basics of probability theory -- Chapter 2: First order reliability methods -- Chapter 3: Simulation-based methods -- Chapter 4: Response surface methods -- Chapter 5: Modeling of spatial variability -- Chapter 6: Reliability-based design in geotechnical engineering -- Chapter 7: Bayesian methods.This textbook systematically introduces the theories, methods, and algorithms for geotechnical reliability analysis. There are a lot of illustrative examples in the textbook such that readers can easily grasp the concepts and theories related to geotechnical reliability analysis. A unique feature of the textbook is that computer codes are also provided through carefully designed examples such that the methods and the algorithms described in the textbook can be easily understood. In addition, the computer codes are flexible and can be conveniently extended to analyze different types of realistic problems with little additional efforts.Engineering geologyComputer simulationGeoengineeringComputer ModellingMecànica dels sòlsthubLlibres electrònicsthubEngineering geology.Computer simulation.Geoengineering.Computer Modelling.Mecànica dels sòls624.151Zhang Jie639315Xiao Te1427864Ji Jian1427865Zeng Peng1427866Cao Zijun970635MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910746100203321Geotechnical Reliability Analysis3562776UNINA
