Titre : Constructing futures : industry leaders and futures thinking in construction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Chan, Auteur ; Rachel Cooper, Auteur Editeur : Chichester [(UK)] : Hoboken Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 240 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4051-5797-1 Note générale : Bibliogr. p.195. Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Technology et Engineering civil -- Sustainable construction -- Leadership -- Great Britain Index. décimale : 69 Industrie de la construction. Matériaux de construction. Méthodes et pratiques de la construction Résumé : There is growing interest in future scenario planning of the construction industry but a disconnect between thinking about the future at the policy-making level and implementing real change. Constructing Futures: industry leaders and futures thinking in construction takes a thematic approach to the future of the UK construction industry by presenting the results of a series of in-depth interviews conducted with leading construction figures and structuring this material into chapters addressing the key contemporary issues in the industry. These high-profile figures are drawn from a wide range of stakeholder groups representing the realities of construction, including architects, client organisations (public-sector and private-sector), consultants, contractors, developers, lobby groups with special interests, policy makers, professional institutions, and trade unions. A total of 15 influential figures were interviewed for the book, from Sir Michael Latham and Bob White to Wayne Hemmingway and Kevin McCloud. Part One looks to the past by reviewing a series of foresight studies undertaken of the construction industry and re-presenting stories of our interviewees' lives to explain the development of leadership in the context of the construction industry. In Part Two, the authors look at the present and discuss two fundamental issues: sustainable development and governance of the construction industry. In Part Three the book concludes with an afterthought for the future, highlighting key lessons learnt putting forward a series of research questions derived from this scholarly reflection of 'futures thinking' in construction. Throughout, the authors juxtapose the views of the 15 influential figures interviewed with a review of the salient points found in the relevant and authoritative sources of theoretical literature, both in the mainstream literature and the field of construction management. This allows the reader to benefit from the practical insights of those interviews whilst gaining a rapid understanding of the key debates of the theoretical subject under scrutiny. Note de contenu : In summary :

Titre : Construction practice Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brian Cooke, Auteur Editeur : Chichester [(UK)] : Hoboken Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 392 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4443-3668-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Building-- Technology et Engineering-- Construction General--Baubetrieb. Index. décimale : 69 Industrie de la construction. Matériaux de construction. Méthodes et pratiques de la construction Résumé : "Construction is a highly practical subject. Students on all built environment degree programmes are expected to know and understand building technology from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. Construction site visits are a popular way for students to become acquainted with the practical aspects of construction, but these visits can only show students a small proportion of the technology of construction. Based around a series of full colour photographic sequences, augmented by carefully chosen line illustrations and text, Construction Practice provides students with a comprehensive overview of practical construction technology. The sequences follow a logical progression through the subject and include contemporary and established practice, as well as modern methods of construction. The book also includes some examples of continental European construction methods where these differ from established UK practice"-- Note de contenu : In summary :

Titre : Fundamentals of digital image processing : a practical approach with examples in Matlab Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chris Solomon, Auteur ; Toby Breckon, Auteur Editeur : Chichester [(UK)] : Hoboken Année de publication : 2011 Importance : XIV, 328 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-470-84472-4 Note générale : Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Image processing -- Digital techniques
Traitement d'imagesIndex. décimale : 004.93 Traitement des images Résumé : This is an introductory to intermediate level text on the science of image processing, which employs the Matlab programming language to illustrate some of the elementary, key concepts in modern image processing and pattern recognition. The approach taken is essentially practical and the book offers a framework within which the concepts can be understood by a series of well chosen examples, exercises and computer experiments, drawing on specific examples from within science, medicine and engineering.
Clearly divided into eleven distinct chapters, the book begins with a fast-start introduction to image processing to enhance the accessibility of later topics. Subsequent chapters offer increasingly advanced discussion of topics involving more challenging concepts, with the final chapter looking at the application of automated image classification (with Matlab examples) .
Matlab is frequently used in the book as a tool for demonstrations, conducting experiments and for solving problems, as it is both ideally suited to this role and is widely available. Prior experience of Matlab is not required and those without access to Matlab can still benefit from the independent presentation of topics and numerous examples.Note de contenu : In summary:
1. Representation
