Environmental remote sensing is the measurement, from a distance, of the spectral features of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. These measurements are normally made by instruments carried by satellites or aircraft, and are used to infer the nature and characteristics of the land or sea surface, or of the atmosphere, at the...

When classifying fracturing fluids and their additives, it is important that production, operation, and completion engineers understand which chemical should be utilized in different well environments. A user's guide to the many chemicals and chemical additives used in hydraulic fracturing operations, Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals and...

Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology is a practical guide to desinging a data center from inception through construction. The fundamental design principles take a simple, flexible, and modular approach based on accurate, real world requirements and capacities. This approach...

Multisensor data fusion is an emerging technology with important applications in both the military and civilian sectors, such as target recognition, robotics, medical diagnostics, and "smart" buildings. It draws on techniques from wide-ranging disciplines, including artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and statistical...
