Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Publisher: Editorial de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia - UPTC
ISBN: 9586608131
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : es
Pages : 392
Book Description
El libro presenta resultados de varios procesos del Grupo de Investigación y Desarrollo en Operación del Tránsito (GIDOT), obtenidos de estudios realizados en el marco de proyectos de investigación y consultorías. Aquí se integran proyectos como el de "Dinámicas urbanas" (SGI 840 de la UPTC), en que se diseñó una síntesis metodológica, conceptual sobre el sistema de gestión en la prevención del riesgo de accidentes viales; además, se incluyeron métodos para la selección y procesamiento de fuentes de información con el uso del análisis espacial como propuesta para el tratamiento geoestadístico de los datos de accidentes en zonas urbanas. El proyecto "Implementación de un programa de investigación en accidentes de tránsito aplicando pruebas piloto de intervención en terreno, para el fortalecimiento de la seguridad vial en corredores críticos de accidentalidad vial del transporte público intermunicipal" (Mintransporte, Minciencias y SENA), donde se obtuvo el diseño de metodologías con aplicación de instrumentos técnicos para la implementación de pruebas pilotos que apoyaron la identificación de tramos de concentración de accidentes, con estrategias para incidir en su seguridad vial. El proyecto sobre la estructuración y creación del "Observatorio de seguridad vial del departamento de Boyacá" (ITBOY), que facilitó la creación de este organismo de recopilación-investigación-extensión, encargado de la gestión de bases de datos de accidentalidad, sus labores se concentraron en proyectos de seguridad vial con directrices y recomendaciones formuladas para informar al público, a las comunidades y a los entes legisladores, operadores y órganos responsables, así como para la aplicación de programas nacionales, regionales y locales con propósitos de disminución de los índices de accidentalidad. Finalmente, se suma el proyecto desarrollado para la Secretaría Distrital de Movilidad de Bogotá, que determinó la investigación de acciones para la actualización del manual de auditoría de seguridad vial.

Undeniable Atrocities
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781940983622
Category : Disappeared persons
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
"Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
