Pipejacking & Microtunnelling
ISBN: 9780751401028 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The installation of new pipelines and sewers and the replacement and renovation of these structures without extensive surface excavation has been one of the major advances in engineering over the last ten years. Sophisticated items of machinery and instrumentation have been developed, and have been tried and tested in the most diverse and difficult ground conditions with tremendous success. Pipejacking and microtunnelling techniques offer considerable savings over conventional trenching methods and this, combined with the greatly reduced surface disturbance, is leading to an acceleration in...

Applied Electrostatic Precipitation
ISBN: 9780751402667 / Angielski / Twarda / 522 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many industrial, power generation and chemical processes produce unwanted fine particulate material as a consequence of their operation. Electrostatic precipitation is a highly efficient method of removing entrained particulate contaminants from exhaust gases and is extensively used in these industries to limit particulate emissions. New legislation aimed at improving the environment by further limiting these discharges has resulted in the technique undergoing considerable development over the past decade, to the point where it has become the method of choice, over a wide range of...

Risk and Society: The Interaction of Science, Technology and Public Policy
ISBN: 9780792313700 / Angielski / Twarda / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Life in the last quarter of the twentieth century presents a baffling array of complex issues. The benefits of technology are arrayed against the risks and hazards of those same technological marvels (frequently, though not always, arising as side effects or by-products). This confrontation poses very difficult choices for individuals as well as for those charged with making public policy. Some of the most challenging of these issues result because of the ability of technological innovation and deployment to outpace the capacity of institutions to assess and evaluate implications. In many...

ISBN: 9780792318057 / Angielski / Twarda / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of the attention with respect to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations centers around three issues: human-generated sources of carbon, mostly from burning fossil fuels; tropical deforestation, which accelerates the production of atmospheric carbon while causting havoc with biodiversity and the economic development of tropical countries; and the temperature increase that may accompany increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.
This is the first book to focus extensively on the reverse to emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), i.e. the... Most of the attention with respect to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations centers around three issues: human-generated sources o...

Integrated Soil and Sediment Research: A Basis for Proper Protection: Selected Proceedings of the First European Conference on Integrated Research for
ISBN: 9780792323211 / Angielski / Twarda / 763 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Increasing awareness of the irreversible and long-lasting impacts of deterioration and pollution of soils and sediments has had an important influence on environmental policies and research in the last decade. The complexity of the soil and sediment systems and its processes cannot be tackled properly unless scientists from different disciplines work together. With this in mind, a number of multidisciplinary soil research programmes have been started in various European countries. They involve different disciplinary approaches and they aim at different fields of application: agriculture, land...

Engineering Risk in Natural Resources Management: With Special References to Hydrosystems Under Changes of Physical or Climatic Environment
ISBN: 9780792330103 / Angielski / Twarda / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for estimating space-time stochastic properties of local climatic factors reflecting global climate change. Specifically, daily precipitation amount and daily mean temperature are considered and illustrated with application to the state of Nebraska, U. S. A. Furthermore, a drought index with and without global climate change is examined. The magnitude and consequences of regional response to anticipated climatic changes are uncertain (Houghton et al., 1990). Typical questions to be answered are: can time series of hydrological events or...

The Danube: A River Basin in Transition
ISBN: 9780792345589 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. International river basins first captured my interest while I worked on water resource issues in the US Department of the Interior during the 1970s and '80s. I was especially intrigued with the way the US resolved long and recurring disputes with Mexico over the shared use of the Colorado River. The elements of decision making common to basins throughout the world were present in these transboundary conflicts and their resolution. In 1985 I began collaborating with Dr. Eleonora Sabadell, who was then a specialist in water resources at George Washington University and who is now with the US...

Demilitarisation of Munitions: Reuse and Recycling Concepts for Conventional Munitions and Rocket Propellants
ISBN: 9780792346548 / Angielski / Twarda / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hitherto the disposal of munitions was mostly concerned with obsolete stocks, but the political developments in the states of the former Soviet Union have necessitated the disposal of vast quantities of current and obsolete stocks. Obviously, open burning/open detonation cannot be used on such a large scale, not least for environmental considerations.
There are two main technical problems associated with the disposal of munitions on the scale required. First, the materials are not simple wastes or rubbish. Their handling, storage, packaging and transportation are subject to very rigid...
