This book examines the patterns, characteristics, causes and coping mechanisms of the poor in Afghanistan applying econometric and statistical techniques. The authors address and identify the extent of poverty in Afghanistan over the years, the spatial patterns and regional imbalances of poverty in Afghanistan, the distinguishing characteristics of the poor in Afghanistan, and explore shocks faced by the poor in Afghanistan as well as subsequent coping strategies. Based on household level data collected under the ‘National Risk Vulnerability Assessment’ (NRVA) survey of 2003, 2005, 2007/08 and 2011/12 of Afghanistan, the authors identify options that may enable policy makers and other stakeholders to further enable the inclusion of the poor in development processes and to successfully cope with poverty and its adverse outcomes. This short book will be of interest to students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, international agencies and NGOs at international and national levels.
Soixante-dix pour cent de la terre est entour e d'eau et il peut y avoir beaucoup de mati res premi res encore inexplor es. Un tre humain ne peut pas plonger plus longtemps car la respiration peut tre l'une des principales contraintes. Pour les applications en eaux profondes telles que l'enl vement des d bris, l'inspection des pipelines, les enqu tes, l'assistance aux t l communications, la recherche et la maintenance, il faut une technologie capable de s'aventurer au fond de l'eau sans aucune contrainte. La technologie des robots sous-marins est la meilleure solution, car les robots n'ont pas besoin de respirer comme les tres humains. Mais les robots sous-marins posent des probl mes. L'un des principaux probl mes est le contr le de la trajectoire du lien. En raison du couplage dynamique entre la base et le lien, sur lequel diverses forces agissent sur le lien et le manipulateur, le bras d vie de sa trajectoire d sir e en pr sence de forces de flottabilit . Ce travail de th se pr sente la mod lisation dynamique et le contr le de la trajectoire d'un robot sous-marin l'aide d'un graphe de liaison, qui comprend la base de l'installation, un bras de liaison et le moteur. Le robot sous-marin est mod lis avec l'int gration du contr leur crasant. Le mod le de bond graph int gr est galement r alis pour le v hicule sous-marin complet.
Il 70% della Terra circondato dall'acqua e potrebbero esserci molte materie prime ancora inesplorate. Un essere umano non pu immergersi pi a lungo perch la respirazione potrebbe essere una delle principali limitazioni. Per le applicazioni in alto mare, come la rimozione di detriti, l'ispezione di condutture, i rilievi, il supporto alle telecomunicazioni, la ricerca e la manutenzione, necessario disporre di una tecnologia in grado di avventurarsi in profondit senza alcuna limitazione. La tecnologia dei robot subacquei la soluzione migliore, perch i robot non devono respirare come un essere umano. Ma i robot subacquei presentano dei problemi. Uno dei problemi principali il controllo della traiettoria del collegamento. A causa dell'accoppiamento dinamico tra la base e il link, su cui agiscono varie forze, il braccio devia dalla traiettoria desiderata in presenza di forze di galleggiamento. Questo lavoro di tesi presenta la modellazione dinamica e il controllo della traiettoria di un robot subacqueo utilizzando un grafo di legame, che include la base dell'impianto, un braccio di collegamento e il motore. Il robot subacqueo viene modellato con l'integrazione di un controllore travolgente. Il modello integrato di bond graph stato realizzato anche per il veicolo subacqueo completo.

Siebzig Prozent der Erde sind von Wasser umgeben, und es k nnte noch viele unerforschte Rohstoffe geben. Ein Mensch kann nicht l nger tauchen, weil die Atmung eine der gr ten Einschr nkungen sein k nnte. F r Tiefseeanwendungen wie die Beseitigung von Tr mmern, die Inspektion von Pipelines, Vermessungen, Telekommunikationsunterst tzung, Forschung und Wartung wird eine Technologie ben tigt, die sich ohne Einschr nkungen nach unten wagen kann. Die Unterwasserrobotertechnologie ist die beste L sung daf r, da Roboter nicht wie Menschen atmen m ssen. Aber es gibt Probleme bei Unterwasserrobotern. Eines der Hauptprobleme ist die Steuerung der Flugbahn der Verbindung. Aufgrund der dynamischen Kopplung zwischen der Basis und dem Glied, bei der verschiedene Kr fte auf das Glied und den Manipulator wirken, weicht der Arm in Gegenwart von Auftriebskr ften von seiner gew nschten Flugbahn ab. In dieser Dissertation werden die dynamische Modellierung und die Steuerung der Flugbahn eines Unterwasserroboters mit Hilfe eines Bindungsgraphen vorgestellt, der die Basis der Anlage, einen Verbindungsarm und den Motor umfasst. Der Unterwasserroboter wird mit der Integration des berw ltigenden Reglers modelliert. Das integrierte Bond-Graph-Modell wird auch f r das komplette Unterwasserfahrzeug erstellt.
Automotive industry is continuously working for the development of the vehicles. New innovative features and advance methods of power generation are being innovated so that the industry can minimize the use of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel to save them for future. Global warming has also become a major problem for the world and to control the temperature increase, we have to control the emission of vehicle exhaust. The electric vehicles are the best alternative for this and to solve the problem of more consumption of electric power, the vehicles with the installed solar panels can be the best option because we know that sun is the best renewable energy source which is going to last till the existence of human life. This report concludes the designing parameters required for the designing of the vehicle according to the need of future utilization and which can be merged with the solar and electric power source. The objective of the report is to design a vehicle which consist the features like light weight, good ergonomics, compatible with electric system on safety parameters, and good aesthetics.
This book will cover the basic principles and salient features of EIA. The authors attempt to cover the shortcomings observed in EIA reports, the manner of conducting EIA for proposed projects, and also to facilitate the preparation of good quality EIA reports. The book is written in a straightforward format avoiding long descriptive texts to enhance the reader experience Although the focus is on the Indian context, the concepts and techniques of EIA described in this book are applicable universally. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is also discussed, and this is an essential aspect of EIA in countries where priority is on economic development by way of development projects and when the EIA process has inherent weaknesses. For the continual improvement of EIA reports, EIA consultants maybe assigned the task of implementing and operationalizing the suggested EMP in addition to conducting an EIA study and in preparation of an EIA report. The system of peer review of EIA reports is also expected to improve EIA quality. “Environmental Impact Assessment: A Journey to Sustainable Development” is an attempt to cover EIA according to new knowledge acquired through research and experiences which will make this tool more versatile and dynamic. The authors recognise that since EIA is continuously expanding and developing there will always be potential for improving the scope of this book to make it more useful to the users as per their requirement. This book will be of interest to academics, EIA professionals and consultants, EIA review/appraisal authorities and particularly stakeholders in emerging economies where major developmental work is being undertaken and which is expected to continue in decades to come.
