Identification of Clouds and Snow in Northern Pakistan
ISBN: 9783844312003 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Northern Area of Pakistan consists of the mountainous region, which is rich in snow cover. The concentration of snow in this area is main hydrological resource for Pakistan. Accurate mapping of snow for this area is inevitable for the forecasting of snow-melt discharge for flood control, energy production and irrigation. MODIS snow-cover product (MOD10A1) is generated through an automated procedure which detects and masks clouds from snow surface using a global default algorithm. This distinction is challenging since snow and cloud have comparable reflectance and often comparable...

Double-Diffusive Salt Finger Convection in a Laminar Shear Flow
ISBN: 9783844329261 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents an experimental study of the buoyancy fluxes produced by salt fingers in the presence of a laminar shear flow. An annular tank was used in the experiments. Sugar and salt were used as the diffusing components. Salt fingers, initially aligned in the vertical, were observed to tilt when the shear flow was imposed. The fingers were also observed to be 3-dimensional structures at all times during the experiments. A consistent decrease in the salt fluxes (FT ) was measured as the the Reynolds number (Re) was increase by increasing the shear velocity magnitudes.

Study on The Financial Feasibility of Proposed BRT System in Dhaka
ISBN: 9783845401409 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Movement in cities is not an end in itself. Movement of people occurs in order to gain access to people and things. But in car-oriented cities, activities tend to spread out. This forces people to travel further and further for the same level of accessibility as before. So the main concern of transportation planning should be on moving people and goods rather than vehicles. In dense cities, public transport saves valuable space and energy compared to private transport and can make a healthy profit at the same time. Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated cities of the world. To serve...
