<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> This paper explores the spatial considerations and relationship between necessity of expanding lignite mining, and urban resettlements as a context for human development and security. A situation is considered fragile when objective is to implement a strategy of safe resettlement. Moreover, those situations reflect how urban resettlement can be a social displeasure, despite health hazards of actual zones. The study presented in this paper explored the Shala neighbourhood of Hade village, focussing on urban resettlements, and environmental engineering issues. The research method consists of empirical observation throughout the zone, with an accent to the areas of resettlement. In order to receive a clear data and information, research is made within spatial regulation of urban planning, focusing on the environmental features regarding to the morphology of the area, air pollution, zones for expanding lignite mining and general hazards of public health. Case study was investigated through literature review, and the data collected includes maps, composition of urban structure, attributes of space, genius loci, and mining activities. Resettlements as a phenomenon pull away very sensitive social, safety and mental issues. We employ relatively new conceptual findings of urban planning, showing that the urban resettlement to a near village Shkabaj does not fulfil social, health and environmental objectives. Based on results of new resettlement area pollution, and urban planning issues presented in this paper, location for the resettlement of Shala neighbourhood of Hade village was not appropriate: as pattern for future urban resettlements in a context for environmental security and human development</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> A new methodology based on Principle of Quasi Work is used for calculating the deflections in plates. The basis of this methodology is concept of topologically similar systems. Present method uses a priory known solution for deflection of a simply supported plate for arriving at the deflection of any other topologically similar plate with different loading and boundary conditions. This priory known solution is herein referred to as reference equation. Present methodology is easy as deflections are obtained mostly by elementary mathematics for point loads and for other loads by integration that’s integrant is reference equation multiplied by the equation of load. In the present methodology solution of fourth order partial differential equation in two independent variables as used in lengthy and not so easy conventional method is bypassed.</abstract>

Deflection of Plates by Using Principle of Quasi Work

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The contribution presents a set of seismic analyses of multi - storey steel structures with semi-rigid beam column connections acted upon by seismic actions. Semi-rigidity of the structures beam to column connections is conferred by two types of beam to column connections: top and seat and web angle (TSW) and end-plate (EP) joints. Computed numerical results are associated to two classes (static and kinematic) of seismic behaviour parameters expressing the two contradictory effects of semi-rigidity. On one hand, the lateral flexibility induces larger lateral displacements while, on the other hand, it attracts smaller base shear seismic forces. Also, the constitutive relation M − θr induced into semi- rigid beam column connections by seismic actions is presented. The results are presented in their numerical form and in a comparative graphical manner allowing for relevant comments and conclusions</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The paper presents a first experimental version of the original QGIS plugin QWaveTransposition that numerically implements the geographic transposition of wave gauge data method proposed by Contini and De Girolamo (1998) for offshore wave hindcasting. The method allows one to transfer wave data measured at a given gauging station to a virtual station located offshore the area of interest, by comparing the effective fetches at both stations. The QWaveTransposition plugin was implemented in Python programming language, including the NumPy package for numerical computations. A graphical user interface was developed to manage the input/output data and model parameters. The fetch geometry at real and virtual stations can be imported by selecting appropriate vector layers from the QGIS map. An application to a sample site in southern Italy is presented for example purposes.</abstract>

Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences

 Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences (JAES) is a peer-reviewed, electronic and printed journal that publishes original, high-quality research on topics broadly related to Civil Engineering and Geodesy. The journal focuses on theoretical and application papers with especial attention to young scientists.  Aims and Scope Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences (JAES) is a scientifical journal devoted to presentation and discussion of information on the ultimate issues in the civil, installations, geodesic, electrical and energetical engineering fields. The journal addresses news and various problems which such fields confronts both national and international level. JAES is designed for scientists, researchers (including doctoral students), engineers and managers, regardless of their discipline, who are involved in scientific, technical or other issues related in the journal domains. Emphasis is placed on integrated approaches. These approaches require both technical and nontechnical factors. Even the dissemination and application of innovative information is very important, the implementation of existing literature in the JAES related topics and the address's contributions also requires a clear understanding from as many other scientific areas as possible.This journal presents original research in:  1.
