CONTEMPORARY TRENDS AND TYPES OF CHECK DAMS FORTORRENT CONTROL IN EUROPE""Check dams are a potentially effective instrument for planning of hydrological risks and soil conservation. Cross structure sequences have been used in numerous areas in the world to control flooding, recharge aquifers and stabilize mountain streams, gullies and high-gradient ephemeral channels. Nevertheless, it is little known of the effectiveness of check dams and their morphological effects. This book is an attempt to compile different based-field and laboratory research works in torrential head water areas. Bed stability variations will be investigated according to check dams types, bedrock control, bed slope, channel roughness, lateral sediment input, and highly variable sediment transport capacity. Though the main purpose of check dams is to stabilize the channel bed and diminish the boundary sheer stress reaching a minor longitudinal slope, they can reduce the volume of channel-stored material favouring local scour processes downstream and occasionally destabilize the hill slopes upstream.Environmental science, engineering and technology series.DamsStream channelizationSoil conservationDams.Stream channelization.Soil conservation.627/.8Consesa Garcia Carmelo1863940Lenzi Mario A(Mario Aristide)1863941MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958117703321Check dams, morphological adjustments and erosion control in torrential streams4470645UNINA03550nam 22005895 450 991038073370332120251204104700.09781484256503148425650610.1007/978-1-4842-5650-3(CKB)4100000010348561(DE-He213)978-1-4842-5650-3(MiAaPQ)EBC6040129(CaSebORM)9781484256503(PPN)242982166(OCoLC)1165363691(OCoLC)on1165363691(EXLCZ)99410000001034856120200204d2020 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBeginning Game Programming with Pygame Zero Coding Interactive Games on Raspberry Pi Using Python /by Stewart Watkiss1st ed. 2020.Berkeley, CA :Apress :Imprint: Apress,2020.1 online resource (XX, 348 p. 59 illus.)

Focused on making games rather than teaching programming theory, in this book you're more likely to see code on how gravity affects a missiles trajectory instead of the most efficient way to search through data. Even then the code is kept simple as games should be about playability rather than complex physics. There are links to the official documentation when you need to lookup information that isn't included in the book. Start with a simple text based game to grasp the basics of programming in Python. Then moves on to creating simple graphical games in Pygame Zero. Not only will you learn object oriented programming to make it easier to make more complex games, you'll also work to create your own graphics and sounds. 3D graphics are a little complex. So we focus on 2D games, including spins on some classic boardgames and arcade games. All the games are designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. They will work on any Raspberry Pi, butwill also work on any other computer that supports Python 3 along with Pygame Zero. The games you make will be playable and hopefully fun to play. And by the end of the book, you can step beyond the provided source code to develop your own unique games and programs. You will: Code in Python Generate sounds and graphics for 2D games Grasp object oriented programming with Pygame Zero .MakerspacesPython (Computer program language)MakerPythonMakerspaces.Python (Computer program language).Maker.Python.794.81526Watkiss Stewartauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut917407MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910380733703321Beginning Game Programming with Pygame Zero2143187UNINA
