Land Subsidence Analysis in Urban Areas
by David G. Zeitoun Eliyahu WakshalCities built on unconsolidated sediments consisting of clays, silt, peat, and sand, are particularly susceptible to subsidence. Such regions are common in delta areas, where rivers empty into the oceans, along flood plains adjacent to rivers, and in coastal marsh lands. Building cities in such areas aggravates the problem for several reasons: 1. Construction of buildings and streets adds weight to the region causing additional soil deformations. 2. Often the regions have to be drained in order to be occupied. This results in lowering of the water table and leads to hydro-compaction. 3. Often the groundwater is used as a source of water for both human consumption and industrial use. 4. Levees and dams are often built to prevent or control flooding. Earth fissures caused by ground failure in areas of uneven or differential compaction have damaged buildings, roads and highways, railroads, flood-control structures and sewer lines. As emphasized by Barends , "in order to develop a legal framework to claims and litigation, it is essential that direct and indirect causes of land subsidence effects can be quantified with sufficient accuracy from a technical and scientific point of view." Most existing methods and software applications treat the subsidence problem by analyzing one of the causes. This is due to the fact that the causes appear at different spatial scales. For example, over-pumping creates large scale subsidence, while building loading creates local subsidence/consolidation only. Then, maximum permissible land subsidence (or consolidation) is a constraint in different management problems such as: groundwater management, planning of town and/or laws on building construction. It is, therefore, necessary to quantify the contribution of each cause to soil subsidence of the ground surface in cities urban area. In this text book, we present an engineering approach based on the Biot system of equations to predict the soil settlement due to subsidence, resulting from different causes. Also we present a case study of The Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA).

Land Cover Classification of Remotely Sensed Images: A Textural Approach
by S. JenickaThe book introduces two domains namely Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing. It discusses remote sensing, texture, classifiers, and procedures for performing the texture-based segmentation and land cover classification. The first chapter discusses the important terminologies in remote sensing, basics of land cover classification, types of remotely sensed images and their characteristics. The second chapter introduces the texture and a detailed literature survey citing papers related to texture analysis and image processing. The third chapter describes basic texture models for gray level images and multivariate texture models for color or remotely sensed images with relevant Matlab source codes. The fourth chapter focuses on texture-based classification and texture-based segmentation. The Matlab source codes for performing supervised texture based segmentation using basic texture models and minimum distance classifier are listed. The fifth chapter describes supervised and unsupervised classifiers. The experimental results obtained using a basic texture model (Uniform Local Binary Pattern) with the classifiers described earlier are discussed through the relevant Matlab source codes. The sixth chapter describes land cover classification procedure using multivariate (statistical and spectral) texture models and minimum distance classifier with Matlab source codes. A few performance metrics are also explained. The seventh chapter explains how texture based segmentation and land cover classification are performed using the hidden Markov model with relevant Matlab source codes. The eighth chapter gives an overview of spatial data analysis and other existing land cover classification methods. The ninth chapter addresses the research issues and challenges associated with land cover classification using textural approaches. This book is useful for undergraduates in Computer Science and Civil Engineering and postgraduates who plan to do research or project work in digital image processing. The book can serve as a guide to those who narrow down their research to processing remotely sensed images. It addresses a wide range of texture models and classifiers. The book not only guides but aids the reader in implementing the concepts through the Matlab source codes listed. In short, the book will be a valuable resource for growing academicians to gain expertise in their area of specialization and students who aim at gaining in-depth knowledge through practical implementations. The exercises given under texture based segmentation (excluding land cover classification exercises) can serve as lab exercises for the undergraduate students who learn texture based image processing.
Land Acquisition, Industrialization and Livelihoods: A case study on JSW Bengal Steel Plant
by Ramkrishna Maiti Sumanta Prakash SheeThis book provides an assessment of the impacts of human intervention on the natural environment and peoples' livelihoods through land-use conversion due to industrialization. Problems of land acquisition and the execution thereof have varying consequences that depend on the specific geographical as well as socio-political contexts in which they occur. This book covers a specific study of JSW Bengal Steel Ltd., which in 2014 planned to set up a 10.0 million ton per year integrated steel plant at the upper catchment of Sundra basin, the tributary of the Shilabati that ultimately pours to the river Rupnarayan, located at Salboni Block of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. The project was ultimately put on hold, but caused many lingering environmental and socioeconomic problems due to the acquisition of formerly productive lands. The book examines this case to generate a database on the different aspects of land acquisition and its negative impacts on the geomorphology and hydrological of non-timber forest products, agricultural impacts resulting in livelihood changes, policy dimensions of land acquisition, and the impacts of delays in project implementation through a comparative analysis between projects-affected areas and non-project areas. The book will appeal to environmental managers and industry workers, as well as students and researchers in environmental economics, anthropology, and human geography.

Laboratory Experiments in Information Retrieval: Sample Sizes, Effect Sizes, and Statistical Power (The Information Retrieval Series #40)
by Tetsuya SakaiCovering aspects from principles and limitations of statistical significance tests to topic set size design and power analysis, this book guides readers to statistically well-designed experiments. Although classical statistical significance tests are to some extent useful in information retrieval (IR) evaluation, they can harm research unless they are used appropriately with the right sample sizes and statistical power and unless the test results are reported properly. The first half of the book is mainly targeted at undergraduate students, and the second half is suitable for graduate students and researchers who regularly conduct laboratory experiments in IR, natural language processing, recommendations, and related fields.Chapters 1–5 review parametric significance tests for comparing system means, namely, t-tests and ANOVAs, and show how easily they can be conducted using Microsoft Excel or R. These chapters also discuss a few multiple comparison procedures for researchers who are interested in comparing every system pair, including a randomised version of Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test. The chapters then deal with known limitations of classical significance testing and provide practical guidelines for reporting research results regarding comparison of means. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss statistical power. Chapter 6 introduces topic set size design to enable test collection builders to determine an appropriate number of topics to create. Readers can easily use the author’s Excel tools for topic set size design based on the paired and two-sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and confidence intervals. Chapter 7 describes power-analysis-based methods for determining an appropriate sample size for a new experiment based on a similar experiment done in the past, detailing how to utilize the author’s R tools for power analysis and how to interpret the results. Case studies from IR for both Excel-based topic set size design and R-based power analysis are also provided.
Labnet: Toward A Community of Practice (Technology and Education Series)
by Richard Ruopp Shahaf Gal Brian Drayton Meghan PfisterConnected by a computer telecommunications network, ninth-graders from eight high schools scattered thousands of miles across Alaska work together, building a robot submarine to gather samples from the floor of Prince William Sound. This is high school science as some teachers and educational reformers today envision it -- centered on student projects that encourage learning by doing...supported by modern technology...enriched by collaboration among students and teachers, both face to face and far apart. This example is drawn from LabNet, a three-year effort funded by the National Science Foundation. The project was conducted by Technical Education Research Centers (TERC), a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving mathematics and science education. Eventually reaching 562 teachers in 37 states, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa, LabNet had a direct impact on their classroom practice. In a follow-up evaluation, the majority said they had assigned their students more projects and had used LabNet's telecommunications network to exchange project ideas with other teachers. This book is the story of LabNet as told by its editors, with 14 additional essays on science projects -- both theoretical and practical -- by LabNet teachers and TERC staff.

La Singularité Économique: L'intelligence artificielle et le capitalisme de luxe entièrement automatisé
by Calum ChaceLa Singularité Économique La singularité économique désigne le moment où la majorité de la population se retrouvera au chômage, car les machines pourront accomplir toutes les tâches humaines plus rapidement, plus efficacement et à moindre coût. Si certains affirment qu’elle est impossible, beaucoup de spécialistes en IA l’envisagent, même s'ils divergent sur l’échéance à laquelle elle surviendra. L'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) est déjà plus performante que l'humain dans sa capacité d'assimilation et de traitement de l'information. Les robots deviennent de plus en plus habiles, flexibles et sécurisés (à l'exception des robots militaires). L'IA est la plus puissante de nos technologies, il est devenu vital de la comprendre. Cette troisième édition du best-seller de Calum Chace bénéficie d'une mise à jour et d'une extension substantielles. Il affirme que la singularité économique constitue le plus grand défi de l'humanité de la première moitié du XXIe siècle, mais aussi l'opportunité la plus prometteuse. Les voitures autonomes et les smartphones avec lesquels il est possible de dialoguer sont sans doute « les canaris dans la mine de charbon », qui tireront la sonnette d'alarme pour tous ceux qui n'y prêtent pas encore attention. Tous les métiers seront concernés, des McJobs de la restauration rapide, aux avocats et aux journalistes. La tendance à croire que le Revenu de Base Universel soit la solution idéale n'est que partiellement correcte. Nous aurons vraisemblablement besoin d'un tout nouveau système économique. Nous devons commencer dès maintenant à nous préparer à la Singularité Économique. Selon Chace, elle pourrait avoir une issue très positive. Nous pourrions vivre dans un monde où les machines se chargent de toutes les tâches ennuyeuses et où les humains font ce qui leur plaît. Mais il met en garde contre les risques majeurs, que nous ne pourrons éviter qu

La nació en portada: El debat de Catalunya i Espanya a la premsa
by Antoni BassasÉs Catalunya una nació? És Espanya plurinacional? Una invitació al debat des d'un periodisme rigorós. El 12 de setembre de 2019, el periodista Antoni Bassas va pronunciar una conferència al Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid amb motiu de la festa nacional de Catalunya, que va acabar amb una llarguíssima ovació dels presents i milers de reproduccions posteriors a YouTube. Bassas, una de les veus amb més credibilitat i influència en el panorama informatiu contemporani, hi va presentar una selecció de portades de la premsa de Barcelona i de Madrid dels darrers 40 anys, en un exercici de periodisme comparat que permetia percebre el canvi de tonalitats de la vida social i política a Catalunya i Espanya i que van de l'afirmació nacional catalana a través de l'Estatut d'Autonomia fins al col·lapse de la via estatutària que dona pas a la reclamació del dret a l'autodeterminació, el referèndum de l'1 d'octubre de 2017 i la condemna per sedició dels seus responsables polítics en sentència del Tribunal Suprem el 2019. Ja fa més de quaranta anys que es va aprovar la Constitució i la reivindicació nacional de Catalunya ha acabat per condicionar decisivament l'actuació de tots els actors de la vida institucional espanyola. I Bassas es pregunta: «Si, com repeteixen els mitjans espanyols, el Procés constitueix el desafiament més gran de la història recent d'Espanya i si Catalunya pot posar Espanya de panxa enlaire, no deu ser que no estem davant d'una comunitat autònoma més? I que la recepta no pot ser policies i jutges, sinó la negociació política i el referèndum pactat, com a Escòcia o al Quebec?».

Kurdish Identity, Discourse, and New Media
by Jaffer SheyholislamiInformed by the interdisciplinary approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and theories of identity, nation, and media, this study investigates the ways Kurds, the world's largest stateless nation, use satellite television and Internet to construct their identities. This book examines the complex interrelationships between ethno-national identities, discourses, and new media. Not only does this book offer the first study of discursive constructions of Kurdish identity in the new media,this book is also the first CDA-informed comparative study of the contents of the two media. The study pushes the boundaries of the growing area of studies of identity, nationalism and transnationalism, discourse studies, minority language, and digital media.
