Bed, Bank and Shoreline Protection

Design of shoreline protection along rivers, canals and the sea; load on bed and shoreline by currents, wind waves and ship motion; stability of elements under current and wave conditions; stability of shore protection elements; design methods, construction methods.
Flow: recapitulation of basics from fluid mechanics (flow, turbulence), stability of individual grains (sand, but also rock) in different type of flow conditions (weirs, jets), scour and erosion. Porous Media: basic equation, pressures and velocities on the stability on the boundary layer; groundwater flow with impermeable and semi-impermeable structures; granular filters and geotextiles. Waves: recapitulation of the basics of waves, focus on wave forces on the land-water boundary, specific aspects of ship induced waves, stability of elements under wave action (loose rock, placed blocks, impermeable layers) Design: overview of the various types of protections, construction and maintenance; design requirements, deterministic and probabilistic design; case studies, examples Materials and environment: overview of materials to be used, teraction with the aquatic environment, role of the land-water boundary as part of the ecosystem; environmentally sound shoreline design.

Créer votre application Web avec Java EE

Si vous souhaitez acquérir des compétences en  Java EE , ce cours est pour vous. Java EE  ( Java Enterprise Edition ) est un standard de développement d’ applications  d’ entreprises  multi-niveaux, basées sur des  composants . La plate-forme  JEE  présente une solution optimale pour développer des applications robustes, sécurisées et évolutives. On parle généralement de plate-forme  Java EE  pour désigner l’ensemble constitué des  services  ( API ) offerts et de l’infrastructure d’exécution. Je suis sûr que vous souhaitez développer votre  application Web  rapidement! Donc, vous êtes au bon endroit. Si tel est le cas, ce cours vous convient parfaitement, car il contient des exemples concrets et des tactiques permettant de développer différents types d'applications avec  Java EE . Je sais comment y parvenir et je souhaite partager cette connaissance avec vous! Qu'allez-vous apprendre dans ce cours?...

Java Programming Language for Beginners

If you are looking at gaining skill in  java , this course is for you. Java is an  object-oriented programming language  created by James Gosling and Patrick Naughton, employees of  Sun Microsystems , with the support of Bill Joy (co-founder of Sun Microsystems in 1982), officially presented on May 23, 1995 at SunWorld Sun was then acquired in 2009 by  Oracle , which now owns and maintains Java. The peculiarity and central purpose of Java is that software written in this language must be very  easily portable  on several  operating systems  such as Unix, Windows, Mac OS or GNU / Linux, with little or no modifications. I am sure you want to grow your language quickly! So you are in the right place. If so - this course is a great fit for you, because it contains real-world  examples  & tactics for developing different types of  programming in java . I know how to achieve that, and I want to share this knowledg...

CRS-17 Mission - SpaceX

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, May 4 for an instantaneous launch of its seventeenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-17) at 2:48 a.m. EDT, or 6:48 UTC, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about 9 minutes after liftoff and attach to the space station on Monday, May 6. The Dragon spacecraft that will support the CRS-17 mission previously supported the CRS-12 mission in August 2017. Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
