Spacecraft Water Exposure Guidelines for Selected Contaminants: Volume 2
ISBN: 9780309103794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The International Space Station is a closed and complex environment, so some contamination of its internal atmosphere and water system is expected. To protect space crews from contaminants in potable and hygiene water, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) requested that the National Research Council (NRC) provide guidance on how to develop water exposure guidelines and review NASAa (TM)s development of the exposure guidelines for specific chemicals. NASA selects water contaminants for which spacecraft water exposure guidelines (SWEGs) will be established; this involves...

Zero-Sustainment Aircraft for the U.S. Air Force: A Workshop Summary
ISBN: 9780309272612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Overall Air Force weapon system sustainment (WSS) costs are growing at more than 4 percent per year, while budgets have remained essentially flat. The cost growth is due partly to aging of the aircraft fleet, and partly to the cost of supporting higher-performance aircraft and new capabilities provided by more complex and sophisticated systems, such as the latest intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. Furthermore, the expectation for the foreseeable future is that sustainment budgets are likely to decrease, so that the gap between budgets and sustainment needs will...

Completing the Forecast: Characterizing and Communicating Uncertainty for Better Decisions Using Weather and Climate Forecasts
ISBN: 9780309102551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of weather, seasonal climate, and hydrological prediction, and no forecast is complete without a description of its uncertainty. Effective communication of uncertainty helps people better understand the likelihood of a particular event and improves their ability to make decisions based on the forecast. Nonetheless, for decades, users of these forecasts have been conditioned to receive incomplete information about uncertainty. They have become used to single-valued (deterministic) forecasts (e.g., "the high temperature will be 70 degrees Farenheit...

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...

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...

Reusable Launch Vehicle: Technology Development and Test Program
ISBN: 9780309054379 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but...

For the people of the United States, the 20th century was one of unprecedented population growth, economic development, and improved quality of life. The critical infrastructure systems-water, wastewater, power, transportation, and telecommunications-built in the 20th century have become so much a part of modern life that they are taken for granted. By 2030, 60 million more Americans will expect these systems to deliver essential services. Large segments and components of the nation's critical infrastructure systems are now 50 to 100 years old, and their performance and condition are...For the people of the United States, the 20th century was one of unprecedented population growth, economic development, and improved quality of lif... |
