Understanding Earth's Deep Past: Lessons for Our Climate Future
ISBN: 9780309209151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is little dispute within the scientific community that humans are changing Earth's climate on a decadal to century time-scale. By the end of this century, without a reduction in emissions, atmospheric CO2 is projected to increase to levels that Earth has not experienced for more than 30 million years. As greenhouse gas emissions propel Earth toward a warmer climate state, an improved understanding of climate dynamics in warm environments is needed to inform public policy decisions. In Understanding Earth's Deep Past, the National Research Council reports that rocks and...

C4isr for Future Naval Strike Groups
ISBN: 9780309096003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group;...

Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of Epa's Standards
ISBN: 9780309101288 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most people associate fluoride with the practice of intentionally adding fluoride to public drinking water supplies for the prevention of tooth decay. However, fluoride can also enter public water systems from natural sources, including runoff from the weathering of fluoride-containing rocks and soils and leaching from soil into groundwater. Fluoride pollution from various industrial emissions can also contaminate water supplies. In a few areas of the United States fluoride concentrations in water are much higher than normal, mostly from natural sources. Fluoride is one of the drinking...

The military is currently attempting to develop itself into a force capable of networkcentric operations. While this effort has highlighted the militarya (TM)s dependence on interacting networks, it has also shown that there is a huge gap between what we need to know about networks and our fundamental knowledge about network behavior. This gap makes the military vision of NCO problematic. To help address this problem, the Army asked the NRC to find out whether identifying and funding a new field of a oenetwork sciencea could help close this gap. This report presents an examination of... The military is currently attempting to develop itself into a force capable of networkcentric operations. While this effort has highlighted the mil... |
