Despite the nature of the understanding and conceptualization of the 25 world by the people of that time, ground-breaking ideas and descriptions of hydrological and hydrogeological 26 perceptions such as components of hydrological cycle, groundwater quality and even driving factors for 27 groundwater flow were presented in the book. Although some of these ideas may have been presented elsewhere, 28 to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a whole book was focused on different aspects of hydrology 29 and hydrogeology.

    Timeline / 1860 to 1900 Date Country Theme 1860 - 1900 Tunisia Cities And Urban Spaces Following development of the Port of La Goulette, new districts relating to trade and industrial activities are born. The neighbourhood is given the name of “Little Sicily”, which is suggestive of its role as host to a poor immigrant population mainly from southern Italy. 1860 Tunisia Great Inventions Of The 19th Century The restoration of the Aqueduct of Zaghouan is completed, running water arrives in Tunis. 1860 - 1863 Tunisia Economy And Trade Restoration of the Zaghouan Aqueduct, Tunisia’s largest water-service network, allows supply to the capital and its suburbs. 1860 Romania Fine And Applied Arts 7 November: on the initiative of painter Gheorghe Panaitescu-Bardasare, a School of Fine Arts and an art gallery are founded in Ia#i. 1860 France Travelling First trip by Napoleon III to Algeria; the second will take place in 1865. 1860 - 1870 Jordan Reforms And Social Changes By the 1860s, population density has decreased drastically. The border of the sawn cultivated land had been pushed westwards under the pressure of the nomadic tribes from the east. Several reasons are suggested for this decline, including maladministration and the taxation policies of the Ottoman Empire. Some of the regions south of Ajlun, including Amman area, and along the escarpment of the Jordan valley were almost completely abandoned. Recovery starts during the last quarter of the 19th century. 1860 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces The unification of Italy leads to urban expansion outside the old city walls, which have lost their defensive value.

  • Systematic Thesis on Network Arches 2013 by Per Tveit, Dr. Ing. Uia, Norway
    Systematic Thesis on Network Arches 2013 By Per Tveit, dr. ing. UiA, Norway Co-authors: B. Brunn, M. Chan, W. Graße, F. Millanes, M. Ortega, R. Presland, R. Lee, L. Šašek, F. Schanack, P. Steere, G. Wollmann, T. Zoli. The author prefers network arches with concrete ties and H profiles in the arch. A network arch of this type normally saves around ⅔ of the steel weight needed for other steel bridges. If there are steel beams in the tie, around 1/3 of the steel weight is likely to be saved. Network arches look nice. Network arches have been designed in many different ways. See chapter H: Network arches built or planned. My main publication: “The Network Arch” can be found on my homepage: http://home.uia.no/pert/ under the button “The Network Arch”. It was started in 2000 and is the result of an organic growth. Thus readers will often have a hard time if they are seeking information on specific items. The present publication should be more readable and should lead interested readers more directly to what they are looking for. This publication can only be found on the internet. It will be updated at least till 2014. There are many references in the text. They are supposed to lead to more information on the same subject. Thus the system of references at the bottom of the page is important. Contents Chapter A is a general chapter. The network arch is an arch bridge where some hangers cross each other at least twice. The hangers give the arches efficient support and high buckling strength.

We are very pleased to welcome you to the fourth Biennial EARLI - SIG 5 Conference, Learning and Development in Early Childhood. The theme of the 2016 SIG5 conference is “Bridging Multiple Perspectives in Early Childhood Education”. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange findings, discuss their work and learn from the work of others around early childhood education and research in the contexts of home, early childhood settings, and school. We are proud to present three keynote speakers, Professors Catherine Snow (Harvard Graduate School of Education; USA), Karine Verschueren (University of Leuven; Belgium) and Manuel Sobrinho Simões (Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology at the University of Porto; Portugal). Additionally, the program includes one panel discussion around recent societal changes in Europe and their challenges for research, which will be facilitated by Tove Mogstad Slinde, who will exchange and elicit fresh ideas from Michel Vandenbroeck, Miriam Leuchter, Athanasios Gregoriadis, and Paul Leseman, and bring the audience into the discussion. The presentations cover a broad range of topics related to early childhood development and care. The 2016 EARLI - SIG 5 conference is jointly organized by the University of Porto (Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences) and the EARLI (European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction).

  • Arch Bridges in East Blacksea Region of Turkey and Effects of Infill Materials on a Sample Bridge
    Arch bridges in East Blacksea Region of Turkey and effects of infill materials on a sample bridge A. Ural and A. Doğangün Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Civil Engineering, Trabzon, Turkey ABSTRACT: Arch bridges are one of the most invaluable historical heritages of almost all countries in the world. In Turkey, there are so many masonry arch bridges of different periods, which are protected by the state and have the status of “Cultural Heritage”. However, most of them have been suffered due to natural hazards like floods, earthquakes and time deformations etc. This paper presents the general characteristics of historical stone arch bridges located in the East Blacksea Region of Turkey and investigating the infill effects on the general behavior of a sample bridge with changing the infill and arch material parameters respectively. Finite element method is used for the case study and the model has been assumed as macro modeling proce- dure due to the excessive number of nodes. Obtained results from the analyses indicate that the infill strongly affects the general behavior of the stone arch bridge. 1 INTRODUCTION Anatolia (Turkey) has been hosted various civilizations throughout centuries and it has become one of the oldest settlements all over the world due to the geographical location. Thus, it has ac- commodated innumerable historical structures remain from the past civilizations. Stone arch bridges are one of the most invaluable historical structures between them. However, they have been frequently damaged or collapsed due to the natural disasters and also manmade damages. Stone arch bridges in Anatolia have generally not given the importance they deserve.
