Capabilities for the Future: An Assessment of NASA Laboratories for Basic Research
ISBN: 9780309153515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past 5 years or more, there has been a steady and significant decrease in NASA's laboratory capabilities, including equipment, maintenance, and facility upgrades. This adversely affects the support of NASA's scientists, who rely on these capabilities, as well as NASA's ability to make the basic scientific and technical contributions that others depend on for programs of national importance. The fundamental research community at NASA has been severely impacted by the budget reductions that are responsible for this decrease in laboratory capabilities, and as a result NASA's ability...

Drinking Water Distribution Systems: Assessing and Reducing Risks
ISBN: 9780309103060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems -- consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances -- carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumersa (TM) taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health...

Effects of Nuclear Earth-Penetrator and Other Weapons
ISBN: 9780309096737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy... Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of... |

Hidden Costs of Energy: Unpriced Consequences of Energy Production and Use
ISBN: 9780309146401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 506 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite the many benefits of energy, most of which are reflected in energy market prices, the production, distribution, and use of energy causes negative effects. Many of these negative effects are not reflected in energy market prices. When market failures like this occur, there may be a case for government interventions in the form of regulations, taxes, fees, tradable permits, or other instruments that will motivate recognition of these external or hidden costs. The Hidden Costs of Energy defines and evaluates key external costs and benefits that are associated with the...Despite the many benefits of energy, most of which are reflected in energy market prices, the production, distribution, and use of energy causes ne... |
