Free Download Srinivas Peeta, "Sustainable and Resilient Critical Infrastructure Systems: Simulation, Modeling, and Intelligent Engineering"
English | 2010 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 3642114040 | PDF | 6,2 mb
Sustainable and resilient critical infrastructure systems is an emerging paradigm in an evolving era of depleting assets in the midst of natural and man-made threats to provide a sustainable and high quality of life with optimized resources from social, economic, societal and environmental considerations. The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of civil and other interdependent infrastructure systems (electric power, energy, cyber-infrastructures, etc.) require inter- and multidisciplinary expertise required to engineer, monitor, and sustain these distributed large-scale complex adaptive infrastructure systems. This edited book is motivated by recent advances in simulation, modeling, sensing, communications/information, and intelligent and sustainable technologies that have resulted in the development of sophisticated methodologies and instruments to design, characterize, optimize, and evaluate critical infrastructure systems, their resilience, and their condition and the factors that cause their deterioration.

The Resilient Caregiver Nurturing Yourself While Helping Others


Free Download The Resilient Caregiver: Nurturing Yourself While Helping Others by bright days
English | November 5, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DM6ZDC7M | 60 pages | EPUB | 0.89 Mb
The essence of caregiving lies in the delicate balance between compassion and self-preservation. Caregivers often step into their roles driven by a genuine desire to help others, yet this altruism can sometimes lead to situations where their own needs are neglected. Understanding the importance of setting boundaries is crucial for caregivers, allowing them to provide support without compromising their well-being. Establishing clear limits not only protects the caregiver from emotional exhaustion but also fosters healthier dynamics in their relationships with those they assist.

Countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have economies that are categorised as capital deficit, whereas economieswith abundant capital – such as those in Western Europe and North America – have lost little value in comparison during the global pandemic and other economic periods of this downturn. It is therefore a question of resilience that separates these developing economies.
