The End of Conversation? --Bibliographical Essay --IndexEssayist Stephen Miller pursues a lifelong interest in conversation by taking an historical and philosophical view of the subject. He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling On Bullshit, so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline.Miller explores the conversation about conversation among such great writers as Cicero, Montaigne, Swift, Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Virginia Woolf. He focuses on the world of British coffeehouses and clubs in "The Age of Conversation" and examines how this era ended. Turning his attention to the United States, the author traces a prolonged decline in the theory and practice of conversation from Benjamin Franklin through Hemingway to Dick Cheney. He cites our technology (iPods, cell phones, and video games) and our insistence on unguarded forthrightness as well as our fear of being judgmental as powerful forces that are likely to diminish the art of conversation.Conversation analysisElectronic books.Conversation analysis.302.3/46Miller Stephenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut153552DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910452350003321Conversation2469891UNINA07085nam 2200493 450 99649035600331620230225082223.03-031-16895-X(CKB)5840000000091624(MiAaPQ)EBC7101977(Au-PeEL)EBL7101977(PPN)264954858(EXLCZ)99584000000009162420230225d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvances in building information modeling Second Eurasian BIM Forum, EBF 2021, Istanbul, Turkey, November 11-12, 2021 : revised selected papers /Ozan Önder Özener, Salih Ofluoglu, and Umit IsikdagCham, Switzerland :Springer International Publishing,[2022]©20221 online resource (206 pages)Communications in Computer and Information Science3-031-16894-1 Intro -- Preface -- Organization -- Contents -- BIM Adoption and Design Process -- Identifying Factors Limiting the Prevalent Use of BIM Technology in the Turkish Construction Industry -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Identifying the Potential Causes of Factors that Affect the Extensive Use of BIM Technology -- 3 Research Methodology and Material -- 4 Research Findings and Discussion -- 4.1 Research Findings -- 4.2 Discussion -- 5 Conclusions -- References -- The Use of Building Information Modeling in Early Architectural Design: Case Studies with AEC Firms -- 1 Introduction -- 2 BIM and Its Utilization in Early Design Stages -- 3 Case Studies -- 3.1 Research Methodology -- 3.2 Results and Analyses -- 4 Findings -- 5 Conclusion -- References -- BIM for Project and Facilities Management -- BIM-Based Value Engineering: Creating a Plug-In System for Time Saving and Quantity Management -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Methodology -- 3 The BIM Implementation Perspective in Ronesans -- 4 Plug-In Development Process Considering VE Phases -- 4.1 Information Phase -- 4.2 Function Analysis Phase -- 4.3 Creativity Phase and Evaluation Phase -- 4.4 Development Phase -- 4.5 Presentation Phase -- 4.6 Implementation Phase -- 5 Room-Related Surface Plug-In Usage Process -- 6 Case Study -- 6.1 Plug-In Usage Comparison -- 6.2 Survey Results -- 7 Conclusions -- References -- Leveraging Prefabricated Construction Supply Chain Management Through Building Information Modelling -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Related Works -- 2.1 Prefabricated Construction Supply Chain Management -- 2.2 The roles and Challenges in Construction Supply Chain Management -- 2.3 Capabilities of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Construction Supply Chain Management -- 3 Methodology -- 4 Results and Discussion -- 4.1 Development of Process Map -- 4.2 Validation of Process Map -- 5 Conclusion -- References.A Simplified Guide on BIM Integration to Mitigate Facilities Management Risks of Modular Construction Projects -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Research Methodology -- 3 Facilities Management Risks and Risk Factors of Modular Projects -- 4 Achievements from Facilities Management Inclusion at the Design Stage of Modular Construction -- 5 BIM Integration Process with FM and Design Team -- 5.1 Maintenance of Modules and Space Management -- 5.2 Energy Efficient Approach -- 5.3 Quality Guarantee and Safety in Operation -- 5.4 Analysis of Validations from Experts -- 6 Conclusion -- References -- A Proposal of a BIM and AR Integrated Application Against Fall Risks in Construction Projects -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Occupational Safety in the Construction Sector -- 3 Existing Studies for Occupational Safety in the Construction Sector -- 4 The Proposal of the AG-IGU Application for the Fall Risk in Construction Projects -- 4.1 The AG-IGU Software Architecture -- 4.2 The Working Methodology of AG-IGU -- 5 Conclusion and Future Scope -- References -- BIM Education -- BIM Integration in Architectural Education: Where Do We Stand?

Taking into consideration the vast number of proposals offered by scholars and diplomatic delegations on this subject matter, as well as the principles of comparative law, a compromise to allow for peaceful development is the only way forward. The author argues for setting the delimitation of the frontier between air space and outer space at 100 km above mean sea level through an international treaty. This would also regulate passage rights for space objects during launchings and reentries, as long as those space activities are peaceful, conducted in accordance with international Law and respecting the sovereign interests of the territorial State. Continuing expansion of the commercial space industry and conflicting national laws require a stable and fair legal framework best adjudicated by the United Nations, instead of allowing a patchwork system to persist. The proper framework for developing such regulation is carefully discussed from all angles with a practical recommendation for policy-makers in the field.SpringerBriefs in Space Development,2191-8171Law of the seaInternational lawAerospace engineeringAstronauticsEnvironmental lawEnvironmental policyLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Spacehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojusticehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002Law of the sea.International law.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Environmental law.Environmental policy.Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.341.4786.95bclBittencourt Neto Olavo de Olivieraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792264MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300412703321Defining the Limits of Outer Space for Regulatory Purposes2503099UNINA03664nam 22005895 450 991046823140332120230810171833.03-030-59512-910.1007/978-3-030-59512-8(CKB)4100000011665185(DE-He213)978-3-030-59512-8(MiAaPQ)EBC6455989(EXLCZ)99410000001166518520201218d2020 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAffective Decision Making Under Uncertainty Risk, Ambiguity and Black Swans /by Donald J. Brown1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (XIII, 81 p. 7 illus., 6 illus. in color.) Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,2196-9957 ;6913-030-59511-0 This book is an exploration of the ubiquity of ambiguity in decision-making under uncertainty. It presents various essays on behavioral economics and behavioral finance that draw on the theory of Black Swans (Taleb 2010), which argues for a distinction between unprecedented events in our past and unpredictable events in our future. The defining property of Black Swan random events is that they are unpredictable, i.e., highly unlikely random events. In this text, Mandelbrot’s (1972) operational definition of risky random unpredictable events is extended to Black Swan assets – assets for which the cumulative probability distribution or conditional probability distribution of random future asset returns is a power distribution. Ambiguous assets are assets for which the uncertainties of future returns are not risks. Consequently, there are two disjoint classes of Black Swan assets: Risky Black Swan assets and Ambiguous Black Swan assets, a new class of ambiguous assets with unpredictable random future outcomes. The text is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on affective moods, introduces affective utility functions and discusses the ambiguity of Black Swans. The second part, which shifts the spotlight to affective equilibrium in asset markets, features chapters on affective portfolio analysis and Walrasian and Gorman Polar Form Equilibrium Inequalities. In order to gain the most from the book, readers should have completed the standard introductory graduate courses on microeconomics, behavioral finance, and convex optimization. The book is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and post docs specializing in economic theory, experimental economics, finance, mathematics, computer science or data analysis.Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,2196-9957 ;691Experimental economicsEconomicsPsychological aspectsGame theoryEconometricsExperimental EconomicsBehavioral FinanceGame TheoryQuantitative EconomicsExperimental economics.EconomicsPsychological aspects.Game theory.Econometrics.Experimental Economics.Behavioral Finance.Game Theory.Quantitative Economics.843.7Brown Donald1954-946972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910468231403321Affective decision making under uncertainty2139491UNINA
