Book Description
Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 33: May, 1929 This afternoon when we had just sold enough writing to relax a while, Jack and I were idly theorizing over our pipes in Jerry's Restan rant. Having nothing to do and' plenty of time to do it in, we noticed a young girl, Sitting before the front window. There was something naively appealing about her freshness; and, in the play of sunlight and shadows, She made a charming picture. Evidently the young man at the third table away thought so too. When he heard Jerry demand roughly why she seldom ordered anything, Barry's heart went out to her. There were tears in her eyes. He gives twice who gives quickly, but all he could give her was the flower he had just bought. He had not enough money to buy his own supper now, but he had hoped that the hyacinth would give him an idea for a Sketch. Some thing about the girl reminded him of the white hyacinth. A step away from her, he hesitated. If he were embarrassed now, it was the first time in his life. As She turned and looked quizzically up at him, he blushed impudently.

Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 33: November, 1929 Few are the ones who saw it first; they too are growing Old They saw the slowly forming dreams; they cast them in the mold. We hail thee, relic Of the past, a workshop for new goals. Your captains throw to us the ropes that pull us through the shoals.

Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 33: April, 1929 Miss Blakely looked inquiringly at Mrs. Talbot, Junior. Ann was unconscious of the nurse, of anyone, in fact save John. He was leaving her. He was not trying to fight death. It was awful! She could not keep back the tears which were already too near the surface. John pressed her hand gently.

Book Description
According to the ancient Greeks, nature was composed of four elements: air, fire, water and earth. Engineers are continuously faced with the challenges imposed by those elements, when designing bridges and tall buildings to withstand high winds; constructing fire resistant structures, controlling flood and wave forces; minimizing earthquake damage; prevention and control of landslides and a whole range of other natural forces. Natural disasters occurring in the last few years have highlighted the need to achieve more effective and safer designs against extreme natural forces. At the same time, structural projects have become more challenging. Featuring contributions from the First International Conference on Engineering Nature, this book addresses the problems associated in this field and aims to provide solutions on how to resist extreme natural forces. Topics include: Hurricane, Tornadoes and High Winds; Aerodynamic Forces; Fire Induced Forces; Wave Forces and Tsunamis; Landslides and Avalanches; Earthquakes; Volcanic Activities; Bridges and Tall Buildings; Large Roofs and Communication Structures; Underground Structures; Dams and Embankments; Offshore Structures; Industrial Constructions; Coastal and Maritime Structures; Risk Evaluation; Surveying and Monitoring; Risk Prevention; Remediation and Retrofitting and Safety Based Design.

Book Description
This book traces the evolution of theory of structures and strength of materials - the development of the geometrical thinking of the Renaissance to become the fundamental engineering science discipline rooted in classical mechanics. Starting with the strength experiments of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, the author examines the emergence of individual structural analysis methods and their formation into theory of structures in the 19th century. For the first time, a book of this kind outlines the development from classical theory of structures to the structural mechanics and computational mechanics of the 20th century. In doing so, the author has managed to bring alive the differences between the players with respect to their engineering and scientific profiles and personalities, and to create an understanding for the social context. Brief insights into common methods of analysis, backed up by historical details, help the reader gain an understanding of the history of structural mechanics from the standpoint of modern engineering practice. A total of 175 brief biographies of important personalities in civil and structural engineering as well as structural mechanics plus an extensive bibliography round off this work.

Book Description
Towards the long-standing dream of artificial intelligence, two solution paths have been paved: (i) neuroscience-driven neuromorphic computing; (ii) computer science-driven machine learning. The former targets at harnessing neuroscience to obtain insights for brain-like processing, by studying the detailed implementation of neural dynamics, circuits, coding and learning. Although our understanding of how the brain works is still very limited, this bio-plausible way offers an appealing promise for future general intelligence. In contrast, the latter aims at solving practical tasks typically formulated as a cost function with high accuracy, by eschewing most neuroscience details in favor of brute force optimization and feeding a large volume of data. With the help of big data (e.g. ImageNet), high-performance processors (e.g. GPU, TPU), effective training algorithms (e.g. artificial neural networks with gradient descent training), and easy-to-use design tools (e.g. Pytorch, Tensorflow), machine learning has achieved superior performance in a broad spectrum of scenarios. Although acclaimed for the biological plausibility and the low power advantage (benefit from the spike signals and event-driven processing), there are ongoing debates and skepticisms about neuromorphic computing since it usually performs worse than machine learning in practical tasks especially in terms of the accuracy.
