Alluvial Fan Flooding
ISBN: 9780309055420 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Alluvial fans are gently sloping, fan-shaped landforms common at the base of mountain ranges in arid and semiarid regions such as the American West. Floods on alluvial fans, although characterized by relatively shallow depths, strike with little if any warning, can travel at extremely high velocities, and can carry a tremendous amount of sediment and debris. Such flooding presents unique problems to federal and state planners in terms of quantifying flood hazards, predicting the magnitude at which those hazards can be expected at a particular location, and devising reliable mitigation...

Computer-Aided Materials Selection During Structural Design
ISBN: 9780309051934 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The selection of the proper materials for a structural component is a critical activity that is governed by many, often conflicting factors. Incorporating materials expert systems into CAD/CAM operations could assist designers by suggesting potential manufacturing processes for particular products to facilitate concurrent engineering, recommending various materials for a specific part based on a given set of characteristics, or proposing possible modifications of a design if suitable materials for a particular part do not exist. This book reviews the structural design process, determines...

The Role of Chromium in Animal Nutrition
ISBN: 9780309063548 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The American feed industry manufactures tons of dietary supplements and additives each year for inclusion in the diets of food-producing animals. Some scientists have suggested that chromium should be a key ingredient in nutritional supplements. Controversy exists, however, over whether chromium sources should be approved as feed additives and whether enough data exist to establish dietary requirements. Chromium use has been suggested to have positive impacts on farm profitability, and many animal health benefits have been attributed to chromium supplementation, including increased...
