Taylor & Francis Inc Geologic Disposal of Low and IntermediateLevel
Book SynopsisThis book will address concepts and techniques for preparation and disposal of low- (LLW) and intermediate-level (ILW) radioactive waste from the nuclear industry, the weapons industry, university labs, research institutes, and from the commercial industry. It will aid decision-makers in finding optimal technical/economical solutions, including how site investigations, design, construction, identification and selection of construction materials (clay and concrete), and monitoring can be made. It will also examine techniques for isolating soil and rock contaminated by leaking nuclear plants and from damaged nuclear reactors such as those at the Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear plants.Trade Review"Geologic Disposal of Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Waste is very valuable…. IAEA published the technical reports on disposal of Low-and Intermediate-Level radioactive waste. But this book is obviously more instructive for the studies of disposal and safety management of radioactive wastes generated form NPPs. It would also ensure the confidence of publics respecting to the safety operation of reactors." — Xiaodong Liu, East China University of Technology, Shanghai, China"I believe that this book will be a new chart for the future radioactive disposal management."— Masashi Kamon, Research Institute for Environmental Geotechnics, Japan"Many works on radioactive waste management focus on specialist details. Geologic Disposal of Low- and Intermediate-Level Radioactive Waste provides the fuller picture. This book takes radioactive waste management from the sphere of the researcher to reality in the field."— Stephan Jefferis, Environmental Geotechnics Ltd., Oxford, United Kingdom"I was favorably impressed by the thoroughness, recommendations, and case history illustrations of discussed topics; i.e., site investigation, design schemes, construction considerations, and monitoring for LLW and ILW disposal both above and underground in soil or rock. The book is a valuable, understandable source for engineers dealing with the design of economical solutions to the disposal of nuclear wastes."— Frank C. Townsend, University of Florida, USA"This is a valuable reference for practitioners and researchers involved in the design of safe, long-term disposal of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. In addition, the book’s clear and comprehensive approach allows for seamless integration of the material in graduate-level courses." — Kristin M.

Taylor & Francis Inc Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization: An
Book SynopsisThe practitioner or researcher often faces complex alternatives when selecting a method to characterize properties governing a soil process. After years of research and development, environmental and agricultural professionals now have an array of methods for characterizing soil processes. Well-established methods, however, may not be suitable for the specific conditions of a study since many soil characteristics are intrinsically variable. An objective, integrated approach for soil characterization is needed to more effectively quantify parameters.Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization goes beyond technical guidance and addresses the complicating factors such as spatial and temporal variability of soil processes, scale issues, soil structure, and the trade-offs between methods. It focuses on advanced methods for the monitoring and modeling of mass transfer processes in soil. Expert contributors present limitations to well-known methods and alternatives, discussing their practical applications for characterization efforts, evaluating strengths and weaknesses, and focusing on a reduced set of selected techniques. Three in-depth sections cover everything from multidisciplinary approaches for assessing subsurface non-point source pollution to techniques for characterizing water and energy balances at the soil-plant-atmosphere interface, field methods for monitoring soil water status, and computer models for characterizing the effect of chemicals in soil. This single-source reference is transforming method selection and our understanding of the principles, advantages, and limitations of the available monitoring techniques. Written in a simple and straightforward manner, Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization is a detailed cookbook and a useful, practical reference for students, practitioners, and researchers.Table of Contents Table of Contents.

Taylor & Francis Inc Electronics: Fundamentals for the Water and
Book SynopsisThis is the only book series devoted to explaining the full range of specialized areas required of water and wastewater plant operators. Each volume is designed to give operators the basic knowledge of a subject needed for certification, licensure, and improved job performance. Checkpoints, self-tests and a final examination with questions based on actual operator certification exams provide a practical review. All books are clearly illustrated with key ideas and highlighted points throughout. Electronics explains the fundamental structure and operation of the electronic hardware that underlies many automated processes in a treatment plant. It provides an introduction to electrical circuits, diodes, transistors, and transformers, which are explained in the context of device control.Table of ContentsIntroduction. Basic Equations. Direct Current (D-C) Review. The PN Junction Diode. Transistors. Alternating Current (A-C) Review. Resonance. Transistor Amplifiers. Oscillators. Power Supplies. Transformers.

Momentum Press A Systems Approach to Modeling Community Development Projects
Book SynopsisThis book makes the case for a systems approach to small-scale community development projects. It specifically looks at the application of one branch of systems science, called system dynamics, to develop conceptual models of small-scale communities and address specific issues they might be facing at different scales. A systems approach recognizes that, by definition, communities are complex adaptive systems consisting of multiple subsystems and parts (e.g., individuals, institutions, and infrastructure) that are interconnected, driven by some purpose, follow certain rules, and interact with each other and with their surrounding environment. In order to address community issues and problems, complexity and uncertainty must be embraced and dealt with. Inside, the author emphasizes and shows how to include a system- and complexity-aware approach in the different phases of small-scale community project management. Adopting this approach comes with unique challenges such as dealing with ill-defined problems, considering uncertainty, recognizing that no unique and best solutions to complex problems exist, and accepting satisficing solutions. The text demonstrates the need for community development practitioners to integrate in all stages of their projects: participation, systems thinking, continuous reflection-in-action, and a combination of critical and creative tools.

Cognella, Inc Building Structures: Fundamentals of Crossover Design
Book SynopsisBuildings embody ineffable, yet sensible aesthetic and functional qualities that merge from a number of domains, such as space, form, and structure. The particular connection that exists between structures and architecture is what is referred to as the crossover design in building structures.Building Structures: Fundamentals of Crossover Design introduces young architects, engineers and builders to the fundamental concepts of building structures. It seeks to develop proper understanding and interpretation of structural behavior and concepts within various architectural expressions, which is accomplished using clear 3D illustrations, photographs and graphical details. Mathematic is kept to a basic level by incorporating simple hand calculations. This ensures the primary emphasis on behavioral and conceptual aspects is not lost behind complex analytical methods. Examples inspired by real world projects are also presented throughout the text, which aim to give readers a solid knowledge base for understanding building structures. This book offers an essential introduction to building structures for anyone interested in architecture, civil and structural engineering, building construction and technology.
