The International Conference on Civil, Architectural and Hydraulic Engineering series provides a forum for exchange of ideas and enhancing mutual understanding between scientists, engineers, policymakers and experts in these engineering fields. This book contains peer-reviewed contributions from many experts representing industry and academic es
Microorganisms are important participants in supporting the functionality and diversity of terrestrial ecosystems. The microbial community is a key component that determines the structure, function, and complex processes of terrestrial ecosystems. The patterns and mechanisms of microbial community structure and function with respect to geographical scales and environmental changes have always been a focal and hot topic in environmental microbiology, ecology, and geography research. However, with the intensification of climate change and changes caused by other human activities, the ability of terrestrial ecosystems to withstand disturbances and maintain their functionality is increasingly being put to the test. The role and changes of terrestrial ecosystem microorganisms in addressing this issue have become a global focus and challenge for research.
This book contains a selection of papers from the 16th International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH), the premier long-running forum in geographical information science. This collection offers readers exemplary contributions to geospatial scholarship and practice from the conference's 30th anniversary.
Encompassing a broad range of innovative studies on planning support science, this timely Handbook examines how the consequences of pressing societal challenges can be addressed using computer-based systems. Chapters explore the use of new streams of big and open data as well as data from traditional sources, offering significant critical insights into the field.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Simulated Evolution and Learning, SEAL 2017, held in Shenzhen, China, in November 2017.
