This comprehensive survey of textiles from every region of the Indian subcontinent runs the gamut of commercial, tribal and folk textiles. The authors first place them in cultural context by examining the history, materials and various techniques weaving, dyeing, printing and painting. They then give a detailed region-by-region account of traditional textile production, including chapters on Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. A dazzling array of images provides an unsurpassed visual account of the textiles, while a detailed reference section with further reading, museums and information on technical terms completes this essential guide.

The growing mobility needs of travellers have led to the development of increasingly complex and integrated multi-modal transit networks. Hence, transport agencies and transit operators are now more urgently required to assist in the challenging task of effectively and efficiently planning, managing, and governing transit networks. A pre-condition for the development of an effective intelligent multi-modal transit system is the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) tools that will support the needs of transit operators and travellers. To achieve this, reliable real-time simulation and short-term forecasting of passenger demand and service network conditions are required to provide both real-time traveller information and successfully synchronise transit service planning and operations control. Modelling Intelligent Multi-Modal Transit Systems introduces the current trends in this newly emerging area. Recent developments in information technology and telematics have enabled a large amount of data to become available, thus further attracting transport researchers to set up new models outside the context of the traditional data-driven approach. The alternative demand-supply interaction or network assignment modelling approach has improved greatly in recent years and has a crucial role to play in this new context.s

A principio de los años noventa, cuando combinábamos nuestro trabajo en el campo de la seguridad con el estudio de la Prevención de Riesgos Laborales, y nos enfrentábamos entonces a nuestros primeros planes de autoproteccion, experimentamos la necesidad de disponer de informacion sobre experiencias reales que pudieran aclarar todo el caudal teorico de conocimientos que estabamos recibiendo. Veinte años mas tarde, cuando decidimos escribir el presente manual para cubrir la carencia o vacio detectado, tuvimos claro desde el principio que este deberia constar de tres partes. La primera parte no presento dudas, ya que se trataba de relacionar lo dispuesto en la Norma Basica de Autoproteccion con toda la normativa tecnica al respecto, tratando de exponerlo de una manera sencilla y clara.Para la parte segunda y tercera de este libro decidimos incluir en el manual un caso real de plan de autoproteccion y su correspondiente simulacro,con el objeto de ofrecer al lector un instrumento valido que le facilite la tarea de realizar un plan de autoproteccion y su implantacion de manera practica y profesional, asumiendo con ello los autores las limitaciones que podia plantear el ejemplo, con sus pros (exposicion y tratamiento de un caso real) y sus contras (limitar a un unico ejemplo la

This book is an introduction to the theory, practice, and implementation of the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method, a powerful computational fluid dynamics method that is steadily gaining attention due to its simplicity, scalability, extensibility, and simple handling of complex geometries. The book contains chapters on the method's background, fundamental theory, advanced extensions, and implementation. To aid beginners, the most essential paragraphs in each chapter are highlighted, and the introductory chapters on various LB topics are front-loaded with special "in a nutshell" sections that condense the chapter's most important practical results. Together, these sections can be used to quickly get up and running with the method. Exercises are integrated throughout the text, and frequently asked questions about the method are dealt with in a special section at the beginning. In the book itself and through its web page, readers can find example codes showing how the LB method can be implemented efficiently on a variety of hardware platforms, including multi-core processors, clusters, and graphics processing units. Students and scientists learning and using the LB method will appreciate the wealth of clearly presented and structured information in this volume.
