The best news of 2012 is that six major auction lots, brought back from warehouse stints and the brink of decay and dispersal, are now headed for public view: A 1960s concrete map of the Gettysburg battlefield, studded with light bulbs that flashed to show troop movements, had been chopped up when the government auctioned it in September.
A concrete mapping between the phases of cognitive cycle and the phases of engineering design applied in DSS is also proposed thereby bridging the gap between the abstract and the practical implementation of cognitive techniques.
Other points of interest include the remarkable concrete relief map of the country in Minerva Park, the archaeological and historical museums, the colonial aqueduct, the central market, and Olympic City, built for the Central American Olympic Games of 1950.
The assumption followed herein for the flexibility of cracked concrete allows for the estimation of steel bar corrosion rate even beyond concrete cover cracking, by visual mapping of the width of longitudinal cracks.
The ER, IE and USW data collected by the robot are analyzed to generate the corrosion, delamination and concrete elastic modulus maps of the deck, respectively.
Non-destructive mapping of reinforcement in concrete elements of old buildings may be needed when changes or extensive maintenance is required.
Above all, there is no need of a concrete explicit mapping between the data space and the feature space.
But now let us go forward to meet one of the many reasons why Klein's description of spherical and hyperbolic geometries, far from being a matter of aesthetics, shows our concrete tools of map engineering the way to non-Euclidean places.
It becomes specific and concrete in their mental map of their environment beyond the campus gate".
