Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With numerous examples, this handbook takes a practical approach to the basic notions, formulas, equations, problems, theorems, methods, and laws that frequently occur in scientific, engineering applications and education. The book addresses difficult issues that many engineers and students face and avoids special terminology whenever possible.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book presents the concepts of ICT supply chain risk management from the perspective of NIST IR 800-161. It defines a complete and correct set of processes, activities, tasks and monitoring and reporting systems.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Water resources in tourist islands have been severely threatened, especially in the Galápagos Islands, where the increased local population has generated attractive income from the tourist services. This study investigates water supply and demand in Santa Cruz, the most populated island of Galápagos. The research encompasses a thorough assessment of the water supply crisis, as well as the quantification of water demand from different categories (domestic, tourist, restaurants and laundries) through surveys, in the absence of water metering. The results yield a wide range of water consumption, questioning the current assumption of water scarcity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - High fluoride concentration in groundwater has made many drilled boreholes unusable for drinking in parts of Northern region of Ghana. Treatment of the groundwater by adsorption is also hampered by the lack of suitable locally available adsorbents. This thesis highlights through principal component analysis and saturation indices calculations that predominant mechanisms controlling the fluoride enrichment probably include calcite precipitation and Na/Ca exchange processes, which deplete Ca from the groundwater, and promote the dissolution of fluorite. Additionally, aluminium oxide coated media is capable of reducing fluoride in water, suggesting it is a promising defluoridation adsorbent.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Small hydropower is increasingly important on a global level, and the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions in rural areas in developing countries. This thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of low-cost machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, it explores effects of blade geometry, optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and channel bed conditions upstream and downstream to improve performance. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range, low-head hydropower machines seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book addresses the principal aspects of program management. It focuses on an innovative benefits realization model and calculation technique. The model is then integrated with fresh approaches to schedule, risk and issue management, capacity planning, procurement, and the earned benefit method for integrated progress tracking.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This introductory book broadly covers the foundations, principles, and methodologies of single molecule fluorescence and force probe techniques as applied to the most important and timely biological problems, providing a first introduction to key concepts and highlights the advantages and pitfalls of each of these exciting emerging methods.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The final of four volumes devoted to tumors and cancers, this volume focuses on the endocrine, hematopoietic and lymphoreticular systems. Each chapter presents a state of art review of a particular tumor/cancer in relation to its definition, biology, epidemiology, disease mechanism/pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - GlobalSoilMap: Digital Soil Mapping from Country to Globe contains contributions that were presented at the 2nd GlobalSoilMap conference, held 4-6 July 2017 in Moscow, Russian Federation. These contributions demonstrate new developments in the GlobalSoilMap project and digital soil mapping technology in many parts of the world, with special focus on former USSR countries. GlobalSoilMap: Digital Soil Mapping from Country to Globe aims to stimulate capacity building and new incentives to develop full GlobalSoilMap products in all parts of the world.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book, edited in partnership with the American College of Laboratory Medicine (ACLAM), is the most comprehensive reference available on in vivo animal studies as a critical part of biomedical research. It covers relevant laboratory animal species, specific organ systems and important classes of analytes.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a fundamental text covering the general spatial signals on the spatial signals on the plane and sphere. It includes information on spectral methods in geophysics and geodesy, but serves as more of a wider, introductory text with a unique perspective for students in the geosciences fields.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The fundamental goal of the revised edition of this acclaimed text is to provide comprehensive, practical, and straightforward information about the developing nervous system that is as relevant to those embarking on careers in pediatric neurology as it will be to the experienced practitioner who cares for infants, children, and adolescents. New to this edition are chapters on tumors of the nervous system, autism and related conditions, and practice parameters in child neurology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this first edition of 'Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health', international experts present state-of-the-art scholarly reviews of dietary and lifestyle effects on metabolic systems associated with cardiovascular health and disease.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Containing the latest scientific and engineering developments in the field of tubular steel structures, Tubular Structures XVI is a pertinent reference source for academics and professionals. The contributions cover various key and emerging subjects in the field of tubular structural sections, such as composite tubular members and connections, stainless and high-strength steel structures, material properties and section forming, and tubular structures under extreme loading including fire, earthquake, impact and blast.
