Springer Verlag, Singapore Hydraulic Fracturing and Rock Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis open access book is the first to consider the effect of non-uniform fluid pressure in hydraulic fractures. The book covers the key topics in the process of hydraulic fracture nucleation, growth, interaction and fracture network formation. Laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling are combined to elucidate the formation mechanism of complex fracture networks. This book is suitable for master’s/Ph.D. students, scientists and engineers majoring in rock mechanics and petroleum engineering who need to use a more reliable model to predict fracture behavior.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- Part I Laboratory observation.- 2 Rock mechanics in hydraulic fracturing operations.- Part II Laboratory observation.- 3 Reservoir characteristics.- 4 Constant flow injection.- 5 Constant pressure injection.- Part III Theoretical modeling considering Nonuniform fluid pressure.- 6 Fracture initiation.- 7 Fracture propagation.- 8 Fracture interaction behaviors.- Part IV Field implication.- 9 Formation of complex networks.- Epilogue.- References.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive, one-volume encyclopedia covers the sedimentological aspects of sediments and sedimentary rocks. It features more than 250 entries by some 180 eminent contributors from all over the world, excellent indices, cross references, and extensive bibliographies. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "…Like all other volumes in the "Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series," this is sure to be a classic, essential for earth science reference collections. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and higher."(M. L. Larsgaard, Choice, January 2004) "Primarily for advanced undergraduates, this Encyclopedia does provide comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the processes that form sedimentary rocks. It will prove invaluable to both students of geology and professionals"(Helen Ashton, Science and Technology, Vol. 18, no 2, 2004) "This massive tome is part of the series Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences … . Most articles also give copious bibliographic references to both general texts and research articles and there is an index of authors cited, which is very useful. The illustrations are … with some good diagrams and reasonable photographs. … Primarily for advanced undergraduates, this Encyclopedia does provide comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the processes that form sedimentary rocks. It will prove invaluable to both students of geology and professionals." (Reference Reviews, Vol. 18 (2), 2004)Table of ContentsList of Contributors. Preface. Guide to the Reader.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Citrus Production
Book SynopsisThe citrus industry is one of the world's most important fruit production industries, but global climate change, pests, diseases, and improper handling are affecting plant yields. Citrus Production: Technological Advancements and Adaptation to Changing Climate presents information on advancements in the citrus industry examining various aspects of citrus from its production to harvest. It looks at the challenges and approaches in stress tolerance improvements, increasing citrus crop productivity, and reducing postharvest losses. The book details taxonomy, genetic diversity, and metabolic and molecular responses in citrus crops, as well as abiotic and biotic stresses affecting citrus production. Featuring numerous full-color illustrations throughout, this book poses new harvesting techniques along with postharvest physiology of citrus fruits, devising strategies to prevent crop losses.Citrus Production: Technological Advancements and Adaptation to Changing Climate is an essential resource for researchers, academicians, and scientists looking to expand their knowledge of citrus, particularly horticulturists, food scientists, and botanists.Table of ContentsCitrus Taxonomy. Challenges to the Citrus Industry. Part I: Genetic Diversity in Citrus. Challenges and Advances in Citrus Breeding. Genetic Improvement in Citrus. Part II: Abiotic Stresses and Citrus: Physiology, Metabolic and Molecular Responses. Citrus Response and Tolerance against Salinity. Drought. Water Logging. Temperature Stress. Light Stress. Heavy Metals. Nutritional Imbalance. Part IV: Recent Biotic Stresses Faced by Citrus Production. Citrus Greening. Citrus Response to Diseases. Insects that Threaten Citrus Production. Part V: Harvest and Postharvest Challenges. Harvesting Factors that Influence Citrus Production. Preharvest Conditions that Influence Postharvest Losses. Post-harvest Physiology and Quality Maintenance of Citrus Fruit. The Supply Value Chain of Fresh Citrus Fruit. Citrus Nutritional Value and Human Health.
