Seeing and Hearing
Author: Marie D. Jones
Publisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
ISBN: 1448869609
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Our eyes and ears are our windows on the world. For our vision and hearing to stay amazingly robust, and hold up under a lot of use, it is vitally important to make wise choices that will keep them healthy and serving us well. The fascinating text explains the anatomy of the eye and ear and how these organs work with the brain to allow us to see images and hear sounds. Chapters discuss preventable vision and hearing problems and ways young people can prevent damage to their sight and hearing, including practicing good hygiene to prevent infections, wearing protective gear during sports, and turning down the volume on mobile music players. Also discussed is how professionals evaluate sight and hearing and address deficits so people can see and hear more clearly.

Contemporary Issues in Soil Mechanics
Author: Sayed Hemeda
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030019411
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This volume is of interest to practical engineers. It discusses some contemporary issues related to soil mechanics in earthwork projects which are critical components in civil construction and often require detailed management techniques and unique solution methods to address failures. Being earth bound, earthwork is influenced by geomaterial properties at the onset of a project. Hence, an understanding of the in-situ soil properties is essential. Slope stability is a common problem facing earthwork construction, such as excavations and shored structures. Analytical methods for slope stability remain critical for researchers due to the mechanical complexity of the system. Striving for better earthwork project managements, the geotechnical engineering community continues to find improved testing techniques for determining sensitive properties of soil and rock, including stress-wave based, non-destructive testing methods. To minimize failure during earthwork construction, past case studies and data may reveal useful lessons and information to improve project management and minimize economic losses. This volume discusses these aspects using appropriate methods in a simple way. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).
