Nuclear Methods in Mineralogy and Geology: Techniques and Applications
ISBN: 9781461374473 / Angielski / Miękka / 555 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book appears a century after the discovery of radioactivity. It was in 1896, when Henri Becquerel reported his first results about the penetrating radiation, which could darken the packed photographic plates. The initial fascination of radioactivity, e.g., the discovery of new radioactive elements, the first real description of the structure of atoms and their nuclei, the applications of radiotracers, the high sensitivity of activation analysis, etc., was followed by the use of atomic bomb in 1945. The mushroom cloud became a symbol of destructive nuclear power. And even nuclear energy...

Subsurface Hydrological Responses to Land Cover and Land Use Changes
ISBN: 9781461378143 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since human beings first appeared on the earth, we have changed land cover and land use for our own purposes, such as conveniences and high productivity. As a result of the land cover and land use changes, many serious environmental problems occur on the earth. Studying meteorological and hydrological effects of vegetation and land cover/use changes helps us to understand the environmental changes and problems happening near the earth surface, because the vegetation distributes the solar energy and water on the earth surface into atmosphere and geosphere. Subsurface hydrological responses to...

The Vestige of a Beginning, The Prospect of an End: An enquiry into the nature and causes leading to the dismemberment of the urkontinent of Pangea
ISBN: 9781482624700 / Angielski / Miękka / 618 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A novel theory explaining the geological make-up of the Earth is presented. It sheds new light on the origin of the Earth/Moon system, the timing of the break-up of Pangaea, and the progression of continental displacement including its implications for life on Earth and Mankind in particular. Where they strongly deviate from mainstream geologic thinking, the critical observations and provocative theories presented are underpinned with cosmological, geological, paleontological, biological, and anthropological arguments bringing to fore unexpected interrelationships. According to the theory...

Discrete Fracture Network Modeling of Hydraulic Stimulation: Coupling Flow and Geomechanics
ISBN: 9783319003825 / Angielski / Miękka / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Discrete Fracture Network Modeling of Hydraulic Stimulation describes the development and testing of a model that couples fluid-flow, deformation, friction weakening, and permeability evolution in large, complex two-dimensional discrete fracture networks. The model can be used to explore the behavior of hydraulic stimulation in settings where matrix permeability is low and preexisting fractures play an important role, such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems and gas shale. Used also to describe pure shear stimulation, mixed-mechanism stimulation, or pure opening-mode stimulation. A variety of...

Modeling Density-Driven Flow in Porous Media: Principles, Numerics, Software
ISBN: 9783642637193 / Angielski / Miękka / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modeling of flow and transport in groundwater has become an important focus of scientific research in recent years. Most contributions to this subject deal with flow situations, where density and viscosity changes in the fluid are neglected. This restriction may not always be justified. The models presented in the book demonstrate immpressingly that the flow pattern may be completely different when density changes are taken into account. The main applications of the models are: thermal and saline convection, geothermal flow, saltwater intrusion, flow through salt formations etc. This book not...

Diamonds
ISBN: 9780745672304 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Diamonds are a multi-billion dollar business involving some of the world's largest mining companies, a million and a half artisanal diggers, more than a million cutters and polishers and a huge retail jewellery sector. But behind the sparkle of the diamond lies a murkier story, in which rebel armies in Angola, Sierra Leone and the Congo turned to diamonds to finance their wars. Completely unregulated, so-called blood diamonds became the perfect tool for money laundering, tax evasion, drug-running and weapons-trafficking.
