The 4th International Conference on Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (PBD-IV) is held in Beijing, China. The PBD-IV Conference is organized under the auspices of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - Technical Committee TC203 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems (ISSMGE-TC203). The PBD-I, PBD-II, and PBD-III events in Japan (2009), Italy (2012), and Canada (2017) respectively, were highly successful events for the international earthquake geotechnical engineering community. The PBD events have been excellent companions to the International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (ICEGE) series that TC203 has held in Japan (1995), Portugal (1999), USA (2004), Greece (2007), Chile (2011), New Zealand (2015), and Italy (2019). The goal of PBD-IV is to provide an open forum for delegates to interact with their international colleagues and advance performance-based design research and practices for earthquake geotechnical engineering.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Germanistische Sprachwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Dialektologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Für die Dialektforschung spielt das Transkriptionssystem eine wichtige Rolle, die akustischen Formen der Sprache möglichst detailliert zu verschriftlichen. Zwar kann man mit dem Alphabet der Standardsprache manche lautlichen Verhältnisse darstellen, aber es gibt mehr Laute als Buchstaben, d.h. die Buchstaben können mehrere Laute vertreten. Es ist daher notwendig, die Transkriptionssysteme zu entwickeln. Seit dem sechzehnten Jahrhundert wurden zahlreiche Transkriptionssysteme entworfen, die allerdings nicht in weiteren Kreisen verbreitet wurden. Deswegen werde ich am Anfang des zweiten Kapitels die Anforderungen an phonetischer Umschrift darstellen, um zu erklären, warum die ehemaligen Transkriptionssysteme nicht durchgesetzt werden konnten. Der große Teil des Kapitels zwei beschäftigt sich um die Darstellung der verschiedenen Transkriptionsmöglichkeiten. Es gibt zwei unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen bei der Transkription, nämlich phonetische und phonologische Lautumschreibung. In Kapitel drei geht es um die Frage, warum die Teuthonista in der deutschen Dialektologie weit verbreitet ist. Zuerst werde ich von der Entwicklungsgeschichte der Teuthonista ausgehen, um zu erklären, warum die Teuthonista mit historischer Rücksicht eingehalten werden soll. Anschließend handelt es sich um die Ablehnung der API-Transkription durch die deutsche Dialektologie. Dazu werde ich hauptsächlich die im API selbst verankerten Gründe darstellen. Dann geht es um die praktischen Vorteile der Teuthonista für die Feldforschung, die von Ruoff (1973) zusammengefasst werden. Zum Schluss dieses Kapitels werde ich ein Beispiel des Siebenbürgisch-Sächsischen Wörterbuch einführen, in denen einige von der Teuthonista abweichende Symbolisierungen vorkommen. In Kapitel vier geht es um die Infragestellung in Bezug auf die wissenschaftliche Phonetik. Zuerst werde ich das Theorie-Defizit der Teuthonista untersuchen. Zum Schluss geht es um die immer größere Verbreitung der API-System, besonders um die auf deutsche Verhältnisse abgefasste neue API-Lautschrift.

Microsoft Kinect changes the notion of user interface design. It differs from most other user input controllers as it enables users to interact with the program without touching the mouse or a trackpad. It utilizes motion sensing technology and all it needs is a real-time cameras, tracked skeletons, and gestures. This title will help you get into the world of Microsoft Kinect programming with the C/C++ language. The book covers the installation, image streaming, skeleton and face tracking, multi-touch cursors, and gesture emulation. Finally, you will end up with a complete Kinect-based game.

This thesis focuses on the seismic response of piles in liquefiable ground. Lastly, it studies axial pile force and settlement during post-earthquake reconsolidation, showing pile axial force to be irrelevant in the reconsolidation process, while settlement is process dependent.

The Chinese imperial examination system is unique in traditional Chinese society with origins dating back 1,300 years, and has had a far-reaching impact not only on contemporary Chinese society, but also on government systems of other countries around the world. The system was originally created as a political institution to recruit officials to serve the Chinese imperial government. During the period of its use, from 605 through 1905, the imperial examination system played a central role in the Chinese imperial government. It served as a tool for the political and ideological control, functioned as a proxy for education, produced the elite social class, and became a dominant culture in the traditional Chinese society. During its 1,300 years, the system generated countless publications, including the imperial government publications and a variety of non-government works.After the abolition of the system in 1905, numerous publications produced by the international research community spawned the Chinese imperial examination studies. The interdisciplinary study involved a whole range of disciplines, including history, political science, sociology, education, psychology, culture, literature, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, religion, mathematics, economics, and archive studies. It would be impossible for one to understand China without knowing the imperial examination system and the vast collection of the imperial examination studies. This book provides an annotated bibliography for 214 publications that are relevant to the imperial examination studies, and each entry includes a review to serve as a guide to readers for this collection. Of the 214 publications, 155 are written in Chinese, and 59 are English publications. Although the 214 publications only comprise a fraction of the imperial examination studies, with a variety of subjects and research quality, this bibliography represents in considerable depth the scope of the development of the imperial examination studies. Through selecting, presenting, and reviewing a variety of significant publications, this book provides quick access to the essential literature of the imperial examination studies. College students, faculty, or any other readers who are interested in learning, teaching, or researching the Chinese imperial examination system, Chinese history, the Chinese government systems, culture, ideology, education, literature, and current social issues will find The Chinese Imperial Examination System: An Annotated Bibliography to be an important addition to their research

Presents various results including the first case of human carbon monoxide (CO) deficiency. This book also discusses disorders where the cardiovascular effects of CO might have been altered, including hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and ischemic heart damage.
