Southern Space Studies,2523-37183-030-15765-2 Broadband access for remote un-serviced communities -- Requirements definition -- Conceptual design -- Detailed design -- Impact -- Financing the construction and operation of the BARC -- Conclusions.This book investigates how broadband internet can be provided to remote and isolated communities through the use of satellite and other enabling technologies, in the form of a self-contained broadband apparatus. It discusses how the proposed design can help bridge the digital divide by removing one of the main hurdles to adopting technologies: infrastructure. In turn, the book explores how the lack of infrastructure, especially with regard to connectivity and electricity, can be addressed by exploiting new technological advances in a number of fields, notably the newly proposed large broadband satellite constellations. In closing, it uses concrete examples to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of a “broadband ecosystem” on economics, governance and society, and on achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.Southern Space Studies,2523-3718Electrical engineeringAerospace engineeringAstronauticsEconomic developmentCommunications Engineering, Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Regional Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050Electrical engineering.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Economic development.Communications Engineering, Networks.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Regional Development.621.382025.042Kotze Christoffelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061730BOOK9910366577903321A Broadband Apparatus for Underserviced Remote Communities2519911UNINA03817nam 22006135 450 991056828930332120251204110209.09783030972479(electronic bk.)978303097246210.1007/978-3-030-97247-9(MiAaPQ)EBC6986457(Au-PeEL)EBL6986457(CKB)22371876700041(BIP)083059903(DE-He213)978-3-030-97247-9(EXLCZ)992237187670004120220512d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Collapse Frequency of Structures Bridges - Dams - Tunnels - Retaining structures - Buildings /by Dirk Proske1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (149 pages)Print version: Proske, Dirk The Collapse Frequency of Structures Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030972462 Introduction and Initial Position -- Preliminary Considerations -- Bridges -- Dams -- Tunnel -- Retaining Structures -- Buildings and Structures -- Stadiums -- Wind Turbines -- Nuclear Power Plants -- Concluding Remarks.The mathematical verification of the safety of structures can be done by determining the probability of failure or by using safety elements. Observed damages and collapses are usually assessed within the framework of expert reports, which seems reasonable due to the large number of unique structures in the construction industry. However, there should also be an examination of observed safety across all structures. Therefore, in this book the collapse frequencies are determined for different types of structures, such as bridges, dams, tunnels, retaining structures and buildings. The collapse frequency, like the failure probability, belongs to stochasticity. Therefore, the observed mean collapse frequencies and the calculated mean failure probabilities are compared. This comparison shows that the collapse frequencies are usually lower than the calculated failure probabilities. In addition, core damage frequencies and probabilities are given to extend the comparison toanother technical product. About the Author: Prof. (FH) Dr.-Ing. habil.
