The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with environmental protection and the design of chemical and mechanical processes, is increasingly important. ...
To keep pace with the rapidly emerging area of chemometrics, this volume presents basic principles together with real applications in environmental chemistry. It provides an overview in relation to quantitative environmental analysis, and a review of descriptive statistical concepts. It covers environmental sampling considerations, experimental ...
These themes are also subject to economic research, and economic insights are increasingly finding their way into the design of environmental policy. Still, the reception of academic findings by policy makers as well as the timely identification of policy-relevant questions ...
As the global nature of pollution becomes increasingly obvious, successful hazardous waste treatment programs must take a total environmental control approach that encompasses all areas of pollution control. With its focus on new developments in innovative and alternative environmental technology, design criteria, effluent standards, managerial ...
Radiation Effects on Embedded Systems aims at providing the reader with the major guidelines for coping with radiation effects on components supposed to be included in today’s applications devoted to operate in space, but also in the atmosphere at high altitude or at ground level. It contains a set of chapters based on the tutorials presented at the International School on Effects of Radiation on ...
This collection focuses on methods for measuring the role of the physical environment in the disablement process and the limitations of current theory, knowledge, and research in the field. Linking the chapters is a new paradigm of research on accessibility, which emphasizes that disability is both a social and an individual process and is consistent with recent developments in a disability ...
This annually-updated looseleaf format textbook, co-authored by our President, Paul MacLean, is one of only a few comprehensive manuals on the practice of HSE systems auditing. The three authors bring a diverse set of skills to its pages, providing interesting reading on why and how audits can take place, the benefits, the perceptions and the pitfalls. It includes a rich set of example tools to ...

This book introduces a new concept in ecosystem theory and discusses it in an interdisciplinary framework, originating in succession theory, network theory and thermodynamics. The central hypothesis claims that there are certain system attributes which are regularly optimized in the course of ecosystem development. Many of these orientators can also be interpretated as general attributes for ...
Eleven peer-reviewed papers provide the latest information on the structural integrity of fasteners, including the effect s of environmental and stress corrosion cracking. For Sections cover:Fatigue and Crack Growth Experimental Techniques—three papers cover the development of a fastener structural element test for certifying navy fasteners material; experimental crack growth behavior for ...
Many coastal areas around the world are experiencing dramatic landscape changes as a result of increased tourism development and the "sea change phenomenon" – the migration of affluent urbanites to small coastal towns seeking beautiful, natural surroundings. In response to these changes local residents in these places often complain that the distinctive character of their towns and/or individual ...
- The PILOT is a tool, that enables you to find measures to environmentally improve your product within a short time. The instructions given are formulated in the language of product design and can be implemented directly in product development. ...
