Generating Electricity from the Sun: Volume 2
ISBN: 9780080409368 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The direct conversion of daylight into electricity by photovoltaic solar cells is one of the most promising of the renewable energy options. The importance of the technology is reflected in the growth in the field. What was largely technology for space programmes in 1976 produced 28.6 MW of terrestrial modules in 1987. The popularity of the technology can partly be explained by its versatility. Arrays of any size and voltage can be constructed from standard modules, with the conversion efficiency being practically independent from output. Photovoltaics are also well suited to on-site...

Activity-Based Approaches to Travel Analysis
ISBN: 9780080425849 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hardbound. Societal trends have made the need for better travel demand forecasts more urgent, at the same time as making people's travel and activity patterns far more complex. Traditional traffic flow models are no longer sophisticated enough to cope.Activity analysis is seen by many as the solution. It has had a short but intense history in geography, urban planning, time use research and, more recently, transportation. Pioneering activity-based models have now been developed to the point where, some argue, it is time to abandon the traditional four-step model for transportation demand...

Icrp Publication 74: Conversion Coefficients for Use in Radiological Protection Against External Radiation: Annals of the Icrp Volume 26/3
ISBN: 9780080427393 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. ICRP Publication 74 provides an extensive and authoritative set of data linking the operational quantities defined by ICRU with the dosimetric and protection quantities defined by ICRP. The operational quantities provide a satisfactory basis for most of the measurements for radiation protection against external radiations. In those cases where it is not so, the data given in the report provides a basis for designing special measurement programmes, properly interpreting their results and relating them to the protection quantities. The report should be useful to operational health physicists,...

Icrp Publication 78: Individual Monitoring for Internal Exposure of Workers: Annals of the Icrp Volume 27/3-4, Replacement of Icrp Publication 54
ISBN: 9780080427508 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. ICRP Publication 78 replaces the previous ICRP Publication 54 on individual monitoring programmes and the interpretation of results of measurements for intakes of radionuclides by workers. The updating was considered necessary because ICRP published new dose coefficients for intakes of radionuclides by workers in 1994 (ICRP Publication 68). Those new dose coefficients were based on the most recent general recommendations of the Commission (ICRP Publication 60). The present report uses this new information and takes account of the new principles for the radiological protection of workers...

Strategic Airport Planning
ISBN: 9780080427645 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The role of an airport within the air transport system used to be largely incontestable. The system is now being shaped less by the concept of social service and more by market forces. Progressive liberalisation of air transport, together with trends to privatisation and globalisation are causing the roles of airports to change, for planning to become increasingly decentralised, and for the traffic to become more volatile. Airports are increasingly in competition for markets. Yet the markets are limited, and airport expansion is made difficult by environmental pressures that push towards...

Compact Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design and Operation
ISBN: 9780080428390 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents the ideas and industrial concepts in compact heat exchanger technology that have been developed in the last 10 years or so. Historically, the development and application of compact heat exchangers and their surfaces has taken place in a piecemeal fashion in a number of rather unrelated areas, principally those of the automotive and prime mover, aerospace, cryogenic and refrigeration sectors. Much detailed technology, familiar in one sector, progressed only slowly over the boundary into another sector. This compartmentalisation was a feature both of the user industries...

Safety Management: The Challenge of Change
ISBN: 9780080430751 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hardbound. Not only is technology going through its revolutions faster, but the institutions and organisations which exploit that technology are also in the process of almost constant reshaping. This accelerating change is a double-edged sword for safety. On the one hand it offers the opportunity for improvement, but on the other it threatens the tried and trusted measures which have produced high safety levels in the past.Trial and error as a learning method is not acceptable in high risk technologies. We must not only get things right first time, but adapt the management of safety to the...
