Evaluating Water Loss and Planning Loss Reduction Strategies (Water Research Foundation Report)
by Paul Fanner
A comprehensive literature search was done on all aspects of water loss management. Standardization of water loss accounting was desirable due to widely varying reporting and evaluation methods prevalent in North America. The International Water Association's Manual of Best Practice Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services (2000) was the most valuable method of water loss accounting. However, some minor modifications of the methodology were necessary for North American utilities. The...
Transport Properties of Molecular Junctions (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics, #254)
by Natalya A. Zimbovskaya
A comprehensive overview of the physical mechanisms that control electron transport and the characteristics of metal-molecule-metal (MMM) junctions. As far as possible, methods and formalisms presented elsewhere to analyze electron transport through molecules are avoided. This title introduces basic concepts--a description of the electron transport through molecular junctions-and briefly describes relevant experimental methods. Theoretical methods commonly used to analyze the electron transport...

Early Warning and Management of Surface Water Taste-and-Odor Events (Water Research Foundation Report)
by W Taylor, R. Losee, M. Torobin, G. Izaguirre, D. Sass, D. Khiari, and Khalil Z. Atasi
The objective of the report was to focus on the detection and management of Taste-and-Odor (T&O) events in source waters prior to reaching the treatment plant and therefore prior to consumer complaints. The goal was to achieve control at the source or through strategic use of storage and conveyance facilities, thus relieving or reducing the burden on the plants. The difficulty in meeting these objectives lies in the extreme sensitivity that many individuals have for the most difficult to manage...

Performance Assessment of Urban Infrastructure Services
Performance assessment has been one of the hottest topics in the water industry in the past decade. In that period, the International Water Association has played a key role, and the performance indicators systems developed for drinking water and wastewater utilities have become a reference worldwide. This book represents a collection of the papers presented to the Pi08 Conference, in Valencia, Spain (March 2008). The conference represents the final stage in the COST C18 Action, funded by the...

Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions in Ab2x4 Chalcogenide Compounds (Springer Series in Materials Science, #189)
This book on pressure-induced phase transitions in AB2X4 chalcogenide compounds deals with one important AmBnXp material. The interest in these materials is caused by their properties. The results are discussed for three main groups of structural families: cubic-spinel structures, defective tetragonal structures, and other structures like layered and wurtzite-type modifications. A systematic analysis of the behavior of cubic (spinel), tetragonal (defect chalcopyrites and stannites) and other cry...

The Governance of Water Regulators (OECD Report)
by OECD: Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development
The establishment of dedicated regulatory bodies in charge of regulating water services, whilst being recent, is nevertheless a consistent trend among OECD and non-OECD countries. This report presents a picture as of September 2014 of the governance arrangements, operational modalities and use of regulatory tools across a sample of 34 established water regulators. It relies on the OECD Best Practice Principles for Regulatory Policy: The Governance of Regulators to structure the information colle...
This book describes how surface tension effects can be used by engineers to provide mechanical functions in miniaturized products (1 mm). Even if precursors of this field such as Jurin or Laplace already date back to the 18th century, describing surface tension effects from a mechanical perspective is very recent. The originality of this book is to consider the effects of capillary bridges on solids, including forces and torques exerted both statically and dynamically by the liquid along the 6 d...
