Long-Term Performance of Permeable Reactive Barriers: Volume 7
ISBN: 9780444515360 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While extensive research has been performed on many technological aspects of permeable reactive barriers and a number of contaminants have so far been successfully treated by PRB systems, long-term performance has not been extensively considered and little is known about the processes influencing long-term behaviour. This gap in our knowledge is all the more disadvantageous as design life has a decisive influence on the economic viability of PRBs.
The book describes methods for evaluation and enhancement of the long-term performance of PRB systems, especially of those targeting heavy... While extensive research has been performed on many technological aspects of permeable reactive barriers and a number of contaminants have so far been...

Spitsbergen Push Moraines: Including a Translation of K. Gripp: Glaciologische Und Geologische Ergebnisse Der Hamburgischen Spitzbergen-Expeditio
ISBN: 9780444515445 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The book deals with push moraines on Spitsbergen. The main body is a translation of the original German report by Karl Gripp on a 1927 expedition. The quality of Gripp's work is evaluated to see whether it stands the test of time. It is found that it is very modern, every year people still go into the field with the same research questions. It is also found that most likely Gripp's report contains the first description of features that we now take for granted, for instance the description of looped moraines to detect surges. Push moraines are still being studied and to show where we stand now...

New Developments in High-Pressure Mineral Physics and Applications to the Earth's Interior
ISBN: 9780444516923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 638 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Geophysical measurements, such as the lateral variations in seismic wave velocities that are imaged by seismic tomography, provide the strongest constraints on the structure of the Earth's deep interior. In order to interpret such measurements in terms of mineralogical/compositional models of the Earth's interior, data on the physical and chemical properties of minerals at high pressures and temperatures are essential. Knowledge of thermodynamics, phase equilibria, crystal chemistry, crystallography, rheology, diffusion and heat transport are required to characterize the structure and...

Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements in the Rhizosphere
ISBN: 9780444519979 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 465 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The rhizosphere in soil environments refers to the narrow zone of soil influenced by the root and exudates. Microbial populations in the rhizosphere can be 10 - 100 times larger than the populations in the bulk soil. Therefore, the rhizosphere is bathed in root exudates and microbial metabolites and the chemistry and biology at the soil-root interface is governed by biotic (plant roots, microbes) and abiotic (physical and chemical) interactions.
The research on biotic and abiotic interactions in the rhizosphere should, thus, be an issue of intense interest for years to come. This... The rhizosphere in soil environments refers to the narrow zone of soil influenced by the root and exudates. Microbial populations in the rhizosphere c...
