Sediment Transport Dynamics

Sediment Transport Dynamics

This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in surface waters. It covers sediment properties open channel flows sediment particle settling incipient motion bed forms bed load suspended load total load cohesive sediments water-sediment two-phase flows hyperconcentrated flows debris flows wave-induced sediment transport turbidity currents and physical modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation this book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves and currents in coasts and estuaries hyperconcentrated and debris flows in rivers as well as turbidity currents in lakes reservoirs channels and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the water-sediment two-phase flow theory which is considered the basis of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special topics have that emerged in recent years such as the transport of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments biofilm-coated sediments and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various sources in English and non-English literature and includes important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from all over the world. It balances the breadth depth fundamental importance practical applicability and future advancement of the covered knowledge and can be used as a text and reference book. The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared which also highlight the important topics for instructors to select.

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.

Molecules That Amaze Us

Molecules That Amaze Us

This new book is by two knowledgeable and expert popularizers of chemistry and deals exclusively with molecules and compounds rather than with the simpler atoms and elements. It is based on the very successful �Molecule of the Month� website that was begun by Paul May fifteen years ago and to which his co-author Simon Cotton has been a frequent contributor. � The authors � strike an excellent balance between introducing the novice to the world of molecules while also keeping the expert chemist interested. � I highly recommend this book to all readers. It will vastly expand your knowledge and horizons of chemistry and the human ingenuity that surrounds it. �From the Foreword by Dr. Eric Scerri UCLA Los Angeles website: www. ericscerri. com Author of �The Periodic Table Its Story and Its Significance� and several other books on the elements and the periodic table. The world is composed of molecules. Some are synthetic while many others are products of nature. Molecules That Amaze Us presents the stories behind many of the most famous and infamous molecules that make up our modern world. Examples include the molecule responsible for the spicy heat in chilies (capsaicin) the world�s first synthetic painkiller (aspirin) the pigment responsible for the color of autumn leaves (carotene) the explosive in dynamite (nitroglycerine) the antimalarial drug (quinine) the drug known as speed (methamphetamine) and many others. Other molecules discussed include caffeine adrenaline cholesterol cocaine digitalis dopamine glucose insulin methane nicotine oxytocin penicillin carbon dioxide limonene and testosterone. In all the book includes 67 sections each describing a different molecule what it does how it is made and why it is so interesting. Written by experts in the field the book is accessible and easy to read. It includes amusing anecdotes

Aviation Design and Innovation

Aviation Design and Innovation

In order to facilitate the safe efficient and cost effective exchange of passengers and cargo between ground and sky airports require the provision of adequate runways aircraft manoeuvring areas cargo sheds and passenger processing facilities. Airports are capital intensive facilities and planning errors which result in the over or under-provision of capacity are both costly and problematic to rectify and so understanding the optimal configuration of passenger terminals is paramount. Of course the design of passenger terminal buildings is influenced not only by levels of demand the commercial requirements of airlines and tenant companies the availability of investment funds and political influence but also by the aircraft that will be using the facility both now and in the future. Indeed the introduction of the first generation of passenger jets in the 1950s and higher-capacity wide-bodied aircraft in the late 1960s required not only the expansion of gate areas and passenger processing facilities but also the introduction of new technologies such as the travelator the baggage reclaim carousel and the airbridge. The introduction of the A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ into revenue passenger service in 2007 similarly demanded a reconfiguration of the airports it serves and practitioners need to be cognisant of the options for accommodating a new generation of large aircraft. While large aircraft generally require a lengthy turn around period between flights and the extensive provision of expensive fixed ground support infrastructure low cost carriers pursue a business model based on very short turnarounds and minimal use of airport infrastructure assets such as airbridges. One of the main challenges facing airport operators is how to accommodate the diverse and dynamic requirements of different operators and these issues are addressed in this Volume. Traditionally aircraft were made and manufactured by small companies within one country but as costs have increased and technology has become more sophisticated a relatively small number of manufacturers which are supported by international supply chains have come to dominate the commercial aircraft market. Originally all aviation jet fuels were derived from crude oil. However concerns about future oil supply and energy security combined with the need to improve aviation’s environmental performance and sustainability has driven the development of alternative fuel sources. However the development and adoption of alternative aviation fuels is not straightforward and the Volume examines the opportunities and challenges of widespread biofuel adoption in terms of production capacity emissions reductions cost and commercial viability. The final essays in this Volume address business model innovation in the airline and airport sector and include considerations of the future evolution of low cost carriers the potential for airline-airport alliances and the development of multi-airport multinational operating companies. | Aviation Design and Innovation
