The stones are described, as well as their use in vernacular and contemporaneous architecture. Heritage stones are those stones that have special significance in human culture. Examples include some very important stones that have been either neglected because they are no longer extracted, or stones that have great significance in commercial terms but knowledge of their national and/or international heritage has not been well documented. In this collection of articles, we have tried to spread awareness of architectural heritage around the world, the natural stones that have been used in its construction, and the need to preserve historical quarries that once provided the source of such stones. Historical quarries are linked to regional culture and tradition. Because of the specific technical and aesthetical characteristics of heritage stones, which have lasted for centuries, these historical quarries should be preserved to be able to use the stones for the proper restoration of monuments and historical buildings to avoid negative actions that can be observed in many places in the restoration of buildings, which are some times part of World Heritage sites. The final intention of this book is to continuosly grow the interest on this fascinating subject of heritage stones.Cheomseongdaebuilding stonespetrographic analysisthe bay of Kotorquarry characterisationarchitectural heritagecultural heritage conservationultrafast pulse laserarchaeometrySopo?animarble depositsGuadeloupearchitectural conservationmultiscale roughnessrocks characterizationcultural stonerestorationpyroclastic rockDuomo di Milanodolostonegeological heritagehistorical and Archaeological sitesmodern principles of double-layered ventilated roofsheritageBargiolinadynamic centrifuge testsustainabilitycultural heritagegeoheritagemarketmarbleserpentinitesWestern AlpsSEM-EDSUnesco World Heritage SiteUNESCO World Heritage ListStudenicakaolinCoimbra Formationeastern Caribbeandimension stonelaser surface texturing2016 Gyeongju Earthquakehouses based on natural stoneindustrial mineralswettability propertiesfracturing patternnatural stoneGyeongju Historic Areasancient seismic design techniqueMartiniquequartzitesite-specific ground response analysisstone architectural heritageFrench West IndiesSardiniaquarryingquarriesstone architecture heritageCandoglia marbleUNESCO cultural heritagesite characterisationhydrophobicityChianocco marbleconservation requirementsmanagementheritage stoneisotopic analysisDino Giovanna1788194Catarino LidiaPereira LolaScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367758503321Natural Stone and Architectural Heritage4322712UNINA04206nam 2200685Ia 450 991097482010332120251117115720.01-280-08409-X978661008409810.1596/0-8213-5418-3(CKB)111098478192298(OCoLC)53369943(CaPaEBR)ebrary10038990(SSID)ssj0000085335(PQKBManifestationID)11119561(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000085335(PQKBWorkID)10009474(PQKB)11325281(MiAaPQ)EBC3050566(Au-PeEL)EBL3050566(CaPaEBR)ebr10038990(CaONFJC)MIL8409(The World Bank)2003045004(US-djbf)13106261(BIP)46125506(BIP)8321882(EXLCZ)9911109847819229820030227d2003 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnalyzing and managing banking risk a framework for assessing corporate governance and financial risk /Hennie van Greuning, Sonja Brajovic Bratanovic, with technical advice on treasury management by Jennifer Johnson-Calari2nd ed.Washington, DC World Bank2003xvi, 367 pages illustrations ;23 cmOriginally published under title: Analyzing bank risk.0-8213-5418-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Intro -- Contents -- Title -- Foreword to the Second Edition xiii -- Acknowledgments xv -- 1 Analyzing and Managing Banking Risk 1 -- 2 A Context for the Risk-Based Review of Banks 15 -- 3 Key Players in the Corporate Governance and Risk Management Process 31 -- 4 Balance Sheet Structure and Management 59 -- 5 Profitability 81 -- 6 Capital Adequacy 101 -- 7 Credit Risk Management 135 -- 8 Liquidity Risk Management 167 -- 9 Treasury Organization and Risk Management 189 -- 10 Management of the Stable Liquidity Investment Portfolio 221 -- 11 Market Risk Management and Proprietary Trading 231 -- 12 Interest Rate Risk Management 249 -- 13 Currency Risk Management 261 -- 14 Transparency in the Financial Statements of Banks 281 -- 15 The Relationship between Risk Analysis and Bank Supervision 297 -- Appendixes -- Boxes -- Figures -- Tables.This text provides a comprehensive overview of topics dealing with the assessment, analysis and management of financial risks in banking.
