The optimal approach to design, build, operate, and maintain buildings With this strategic guide to building information modeling (BIM), you'll learn how to implement this new technology as part of a comprehensive systems approach to the design, construction, management, operation, maintenance, and use of buildings. The authors, among the leading experts and pioneers in BIM, show you how BIM supports more streamlined, integrated, and efficien...

Successfully managing rare book collections requires very specific knowledge and skills. This handbook provides that essential information in a single volume.

This conference on both the physics and chemistry of laser-induced processes in molecules was organized by the Quantum Electronics Divisional Board of the European Physical Society whose membership is given on p.367. The confer­ ence aim, to mix physicists and chemists interested in this exciting field both from Europe and further afield, was well fulfilled by the attendance of around 250 participants and the submission of about 100 papers, wh...

But their humdrum habits are suddenly disrupted when the elder Bailey begins dating a woman half his age. As Harry gets drawn back into the surprises of a rediscovered life, he grows increasingly preoccupied both...

Dr Smith here presents essential mathematical and computational ideas of network optimization for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in mathematics, computer science and operational research. He shows how algorithms can be used for finding optimal paths and flows, identifying trees in networks, and optimal matching. Later chapters discuss postman and salesperson tours, and demonstrate how many network problems are related to the ''...
