The Variability of the Surface Pco2 in the North Atlantic Ocean
ISBN: 9783838108650 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The major goal of the EU-funded project CAVASSOO (Carbon Variability Studies by Ships of Opportunity) project was to establish an international network in the North Atlantic consisting of commercial vessels that are equipped with pCO2 measurement devices. The installation of an autonomously working unit onboard the carcarrier M/V Falstaff was completed in 2002. Measurements started a month later with the first transatlantic crossing. In the following months continuous and discrete samples were analyzed. It was examined whether it is possible to correlate the oceanic pCO2 with parameters that...

Landfill cover systems modelling for Tropical climate
ISBN: 9783639173772 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Leachate management technology has evolved over
time, varying with the type and complexity of leachate. The technologies in temperate countries may not satisfactorily operate under tropical conditions. It is important to prevent the volume of leachate generated to reduce the cost of treatment and to minimize pollution. Leacheate treatment is expensive and the method of treatment may be ineffective. This book discussed various landfill cover options to provide an efficient technology to minimise the volume of leacheate generated. The models described are based on VHELP software...

Partially coherent beam propagation in turbulent atmosphere
ISBN: 9783639184907 / Angielski / Miękka / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The design of either LaserCom or LIDAR systems requires a reliable but tractable theoretical foundation (analytical model) for the calculation of phase and/or intensity statistics of the wave at the receiver under a wide range of atmospheric conditions. All rigorously developed results existing in the literature are unfortunately constrained to certain regimes (weak atmospheric fluctuations, quasi-incoherent sources, fully diffuse targets, etc.). Moreover, there are no analytic results describing the behavior of partially coherent waves in moderate-to-strong fluctuations. We establish...

ISBN: 9783639169263 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hydro-meteorological data are very essential for the proper development and management of water resources. But these data are not measured adequately and made available for utilizations in most areas. In the absence of adequate data one of the options to estimate the design flow is to develop models applicable to ungauged catchments. One of such model is synthetic unit hydrograph. This Book has been designed as a general guideline for the development of Synthetic Unit Hydrographs (SUH). It shows the easies methods and procedures that can be applied in developing SUH. It clearly shows the...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making for Sustainable Energy and Transportation Systems: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Multiple Criteria Decision Making, Auckland, New Zealand, 7th -
ISBN: 9783642040443 / Angielski / Miękka / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the twenty-first century the sustainability of energy and transportation systems is on the top of the political agenda in many countries around the world. Environmental impacts of human economic activity necessitate the consideration of conflicting goals in decision making processes to develop sustainable systems. Any sustainable development has to reconcile conflicting economic and environmental objectives and criteria. The science of multiple criteria decision making has a lot to offer in addressing this need. Decision making with multiple (conflicting) criteria is the topic of...

In recent years, a greater level of integration of the world economy and an opening of national markets to trade has impacted virtually all areas of society. The process of globalization has the potential to generate long-term benefits for developing countries, including enhanced technology and knowledge transfers and new fina- ing options supporting agricultural and economic development. However, risks of political and economic instability, increased inequality, and losses in agricultural income and production for countries that subsidize their agricultural and other e- nomic sectors...

Participation and the Quality of Environmental Decision Making
ISBN: 9780792352648 / Angielski / Twarda / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is clear that our society must become a more sustainable one. To that end, we must change both our production and our consumption patterns. Some argue that this implies the abolition of democratic processes, and thus of citizens' participation in environmental policy. Others argue the opposite: the only way to avoid impending environmental disaster is by engaging in common deliberation and contemplation. Is participation, then, a negative force or not? This volume is one of the first coordinated attempts to study the relationship between democratic, participatory forms of... It is clear that our society must become a more sustainable one.

Monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty: Surface Waves
ISBN: 9783764365516 / Angielski / Miękka / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On September 1996, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), prohibiting nuclear explosions worldwide, in all environments. The treaty calls for a global verification system, including a network of 321 monitoring stations distributed around the globe, a data communications network, an international data center (IDC), and on-site inspections to verify compliance. Seismic methods play the lead role in monitoring the CTBT. This volume concentrates on the measurement and use of surface waves in monitoring the CTBT. Surface waves have three...

Floods and Landslides: Integrated Risk Assessment
ISBN: 9783540649816 / Angielski / Twarda / 373 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reviews the state of the art of natural disasters like floods and landslides, highlighting the possibility of safe and correct land planning and management by means of a global approach to territory. In fact, the events deriving from slope dynamics (gravitational phenomena) and fluvial dynamics (floods) are commonly triggered by the same factor (heavy rainfall), occur at the same time and are closely related. For this reason, this book analyses floods and slope stability phenomena as different aspects of the same dynamic system: the drainage basin.
