Hydrological Response to Climate Change
ISBN: 9783639328615 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We all are aware that climate change is evident and will cause adverse impacts on the social and natural systems of all nations; however, its impact will hit developing countries the worst and the hardest. This book focuses on the impact of climate change on the Lake Tana Basin - a source of the Blue Nile river. The Lake Tana has vital role for the livelihoods of the people residing in the region in particular and the downstream countries in general. In this work, GCM derived scenarios of climate change data are used for predicting the plausible future climate of the region. Statistical...

Monitoring of hull condition of ships
ISBN: 9783639328479 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When a ship has sailed for a while without hull maintenance, the resistance will increase over time due to increased fouling on the hull. This will lead to a speed loss of the ship. It is difficult to monitor the extent of this speed loss on a ship only due to fouling accurately. This is because there are many other varying added resistance types that include in the total added resistance. The scope of this thesis is to remove by calculations all important added resistance types except fouling resistance from the ship over a period of time. When all other resistance types are corrected for,...

The Naturalisation of Animals and Plants in New Zealand
ISBN: 9781108108317 / Angielski / Miękka / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Thomson (1848 1933) was born in Calcutta, grew up in Scotland and emigrated to New Zealand at 20. He settled there, working as a teacher and analytical chemist, and was eventually elected to the House of Representatives in 1908. Thomson had an interest in natural history, but he was especially fascinated by the biological battles between native species of plants and animals and more recent arrivals. Realising New Zealand's unique advantage in having written records about the introduction of new species from the period of Captain Cook's second voyage in 1773 onwards, Thomson was able to...

Do We Need Nuclear Power in the UK?
ISBN: 9781907962356 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An ever increasing population has increased the amount of energy used in the UK throughout the last century and this trend is set to continue into the future. Energy produced from fossil fuels does not fit into the Government's carbon reduction targets. This means that an alternative cleaner source is required to meet the UKs future energy needs. How can the UK achieve a clean and stable supply of energy? Is it possible that this can be achieved through renewable energy? Or, does the fulfilment of our energy needs mean that nuclear power is required?

PBDEs - Peril or Safeguard?
ISBN: 9783639311532 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Artificially created substances, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) have been widely used by manufacturers since the mid-20th century. Incorporating PBDEs into the products, such as furniture or electric appliances, substantially reduces the intensity of fire as they act as artificial flame retardants. Although, once released into the environment, PBDEs exhibit strong resistance towards environmental degradation and by certain pathways they may collect in various tissues of the human body. PBDEs contamination has been detected across the globe. It is presumed that at some level, PBDEs can...
