The tourist industry in Cyprus, from its early beginning until now, has traveled a path of more than one century. Tourism on the island makes its first steps during the British rule. It establishes itself as an influential ...

This article intends to investigate in a theoretical framework the possible expansion of Place Branding in a cross-border and inter-national basis in order to develop partnerships and to strengthen the relationships between ...

Η συμβολή αυτή στη μελέτη της Βυζαντινής Αγιογραφίας εστιάζει στη χωρική και χρονική κατανομή των Βυζαντινών Αγιογραφιών, ευελπιστώντας να προσφέρει μια χαρτογραφική ανάγνωσή τους, κατάλληλη, τόσο για τους επιστήμονες ή ...

Η εργασία αυτή μελετά το Ειδικό Πλαίσιο Χωροταξικού Σχεδιασμού και Αειφόρου Ανάπτυξης για τον Τουρισμό εμβαθύνοντας στην σκιαγράφηση του ρόλου που διαδραματίζουν οι παραδοσιακοί οικισμοί στον χωροταξικό σχεδιασμό. Μεθοδολογικά, ...

Since its birth, property taxation has been a major source of revenue. Taxation in general, is an important conduit to generate revenue and also a tool to redistribute wealth. It can act as a tool to manage land use, urban ...

Δύο δεκαετίες έρευνας οδήγησαν στην γέννηση ενός νέου εργαλείου στα χέρια των μηχανικών. Ενός προγράμματος, δηλαδή, ηλεκτρονικού υπολογιστή που χρησιμοποιεί τις διαθέσιμες σύγχρονες τεχνολογίες, και που δίνει την δυνατότητα ...

In this paper the complete analytical solution concerning the linear soil pressure on rigid spread rectangular footings is formulated. All five distinct regions on the eccentricity map are related to five possible types ...

The frequency response of nonproportionally (or nonclassically or non-Raleigh) damped linear lumped mass systems is discussed here. The exact method, via Laplace transforms, is presented and the practical difficulties ...

This paper forms a literature survey on lumped and distributed parameter, linear, viscously damped, dynamic systems, possessing non-classical modes.

Although the response of undamped or at least proportionally damped linear systems can be determined easily by modal analysis, the prediction of the response of nonproportionally damped linear systems requires either more ...

Due to earthquakes, many structures suffered extensive damages that were attributed to the torsional effect caused by mass, stiffness or strength eccentricity. Due to this type of asymmetry torsional moments are generated ...

In this article, a number of design approaches for 3D reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are formulated in the framework of structural optimization problems and are assessed in terms of their performance under earthquake ...

The objective of this paper is to obtain the optimum design of 3D reinforced concrete buildings in terms of their performance under earthquake loading. This goal is achieved by considering the minimization of the ...
