In diesem Buch wird eine systematische praxisbezogene Grundlage fur viele unterschiedliche Prufaufgaben vermittelt. Der Leser ist in kurzer Zeit in der Lage, Probleme der Messtechnik zu erkennen und fur eine optimale Loesung richtig zu analysieren. Durch zahlreiche aktuelle Praxisbeispiele werden auch Veranderungen des Messergebnisses durch Fremdfelder betrachtet. Die Gesamtmessunsicherheit wird mit Hilfe von Modellgleichungen analysiert und dokumentiert. Das Buch eignet sich sehr gut als Nachsc...

This book presents a first-of-its-kind exposition on the emerging technology of jute fiber geotextiles. The book covers the characteristics of jute fiber and jute yarns, types and functions of jute geotextiles, and the mechanism of control of surficial soil with jute geotextiles. The content also includes applications such as the mechanisms of functioning of jute geotextiles in strengthening road sub-grade and controlling river bank erosion, stabilization of earthen embankments, management of se...

This volume focuses on the possible impact of global warming on trans-boundary resources such as water and fish, and the ability of regional organizations to deal with this impact. Using a historical approach, the ways in which regional organizations have responded to changes in the location and amount of resources are assessed. The text concludes by suggesting that policy-makers review the possible roles for regional organization in issues related to environmental change.

From a writer and expert who has been at the center of the fight for more than thirty years, a brilliant, big-picture reckoning with our shocking failure to address climate change. Fire and Flood focuses on the malign power of key business interests, arguing that those same interests could flip the story very quickly—if they can get ahead of a looming economic catastrophe. Eugene Linden wrote his first story on climate change, for Time magazine, in 1988; it was just the beginning of his investi...

Our climate is now changing at a rapid rate, and even greater climate change is very likely in the 21st century. Temperatures are projected to rise more rapidly in the next one hundred years than in the last 10, 000 years. This Assessment has involved thousands of Americans in an ongoing national dialogue about climate change and its impacts. The report identifies key climatic vulnerabilities of particular regions and sectors in the context of other changes in the nation's environment, resources...

This volume presents the results of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis that can be used for conceptual studies of product design, detail product development, process troubleshooting. It demonstrates the benefit of CFD modeling as a cost saving, timely, safe and easy to scale-up methodology.

Das Buch bietet eine Einführung in die Schnee-, Eis- und Lawinenmechanik. Die physikalischen Grundlagen zum Verständnis des mechanischen Verhaltens von Schnee und Eis sowie ein- und mehrdimensionale Modelle zur Beschreibung ihres Verhaltens werden dargestellt. Anhand dieser Modelle lassen sich typische Aufgaben der alpinen Bautechnik bearbeiten. Ziel ist es, ein Verständnis der mechanischen Modellierung zu vermitteln, das Anwender vor der Black-Box-Anwendung aktueller Simulationssoftware bewahrt...

Since the pioneering work of Shannon in the late 1940's on the development of the theory of entropy and the landmark contributions of Jaynes a decade later leading to the development of the principle of maximum entropy (POME), the concept of entropy has been increasingly applied in a wide spectrum of areas, including chemistry, electronics and communications engineering, data acquisition and storage and retreival, data monitoring network design, ecology, economics, environmental engineering, ear...

This volume makes available to the scholarly world the Otot ha-Shamayim, Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Hebrew version of Aristotle's Meteorology, completed in 1210. This treatise, based on the Arabic paraphrase of the Meteorology by Ibn al-Bitriq, was the first Aristotelian work to be translated into Hebrew. As it contains quotations from the lost Arabic translation of Alexander of Aphrodisias' commentary on the Meteorology and from Ibn Rushd's commentary, it provides a more complete picture of Aristotle'...
