Civil paths to peace. 330 $a"Recent acts of terrorism and the current unrest in the Middle East remind us how important it is to understand the relationship between peace and democracy. In an insightful introductory essay to this report, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen challenges widely accepted explanations for violence. He makes a plea for a global, multilateral debate on the causes of conflict, and an understanding of the multiple identities of the individuals involved. The introductory essay draws on the findings of the Commonwealth Commission on Respect and Understanding, which was chaired by Sen, and established to promote mutual communication and understanding among all faiths and communities in the Commonwealth. Its timely report, "Civil Paths to Peace", suggests that governments, media and educators?indeed, everyone?must take the time to understand the complexities around violent behaviour and its causes, without prejudging what these might be."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aOpen reports series ;$vvolume 1.$x2399-6676. 606 $aPeace$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDemocracy 610 $aorganised violence 610 $acivil paths to peace 610 $aviolence 610 $aprejudice 610 $apeace 610 $acommonwealth commission on respect and understanding 610 $acommonwealth secretariat 610 $aamartya sen 610 $aterrorism 610 $awar 610 $ademocracy 610 $aidentity 610 $aMultilateralism 610 $aYouth 615 0$aPeace$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a303.6609171241 700 $aSen$b Amartya$4edt$0119897 701 $aSen$b Amartya$0119897 712 02$aCommonwealth Secretariat, 712 02$aCommonwealth Commission on Respect and Understanding. 712 02$aOpen Book Publishers, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141561103321 996 $aPeace and democratic society$91991007 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03546nam a2200337Ii 4500 001 991003218439707536 008 070806s2004 ne a jsb 001 0 eng d 020 $a9780750661645 020 $a075066164X 035 $ab13650385-39ule_inst 082 04$a624.15$222 100 1 $aWolf, John P.$043683 245 10$aFoundation vibration analysis$h[e-book] :$ba strength-of-materials approach /$cJohn P.

However, this approach is not extensively used in geotechnical engineering, partly because 3-D media (soil, rock) are present, but more importantly because until recently the methods necessary to carry out this form of analysis did not exist. In the last ten years efforts at modelling practical problems in foundation analysis using a strength-of-materials approach have developed the concept of the conical bar or beam as a tool. Such cone models can be used to model a foundation in a dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis with a variation of the properties with depth. This book develops this new approach from scratch in a readable and accessible manner. A systematic evaluation for a wide range of actual sites demonstrates sufficient engineering accuracy. A short computer program written in MATLAB and a user-friendly executable program are provided, while practical examples ensure a clear understanding of the topic. *Simplifies complex 3-D analysis of soil-structure interaction. *Applies strength-of-materials approach to geotechnical engineering. *Illustrated with practical examples. *Executable program and MATLAB program for foundation vibration analysis 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aFoundations$xVibration 650 1$aStrength of materials 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aDeeks, Andrew J. 776 1 $cOriginal$z075066164X$z9780750661645$w(DLC) 2004040363$w(OCoLC)54046748 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750661645$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2004040363-d.html 907 $a.b13650385$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003218439707536 996 $aFoundation vibration analysis$91213430 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
