Marine Acoustics: Direct and Inverse Problems

SIAM, 2003

‘This book is a very thorough mathematical treatise on direct and inverse problems in marine acoustics. Waveguide inversion problems have not received the attention they deserve in the literature and this book may correct some of this inattention.’ John A. DeSanto, Mathematical Reviews

This book presents current...

Water Quality & Treatment: A Handbook on Drinking Water

McGraw-Hill, 2010

This sixth edition of Water Quality & Treatment: A Handbook on Drinking Water serves as a handbook for scientists, engineers, and other professionals who study and work in drinking water—particularly the quality of water supplies, the quality of treated drinking water, and water treatment processes. It is meant as a resource for...

Fluid-Structure Interactions, Second Edition: Slender Structures and Axial Flow

Academic Press, 2014

This book deals with the dynamics of slender, mainly cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical, bodies in contact with axial flow—such that the structure either contains the flow or is immersed in it, or both. Dynamics is used here in its generic sense, including aspects of stability, thus covering both self-excited and free or forced...

Extending the Scalability of Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithms: Theory & Practice (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2005

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques based on principles of evolution and widely applied to solve problems in many disciplines. However, most GAs employed in practice nowadays are unable to learn genetic linkage and suffer from the linkage problem. The linkage learning genetic algorithm (LLGA) was proposed to tackle the linkage...

Reservoir Engineering Handbook

Gulf Professional, 2001

"...this publication provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference tool for the reservoir engineer or reservoir engineering student. It covers reservoir fluid behaviour and properties, including laboratory analysis and reservoir fluid flow. It provides a guide to predicting oil reservoir performance through analysis of oil recovery...

Integrated Operations in the Oil and Gas Industry: Sustainability and Capability Development

IGI Global, 2012

The concept of a capability platform can be used to argue how firms engage networked relationships to embed learning/performance into distinctive practices rather than focusing only on technology. In fact the capability language allows us to unpack the role of technology by emphasizing its interaction with people, process, and...

Offshore Wind Energy Generation: Control, Protection, and Integration to Electrical Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2014

The offshore wind sector’s trend towards larger turbines, bigger wind farm projects and greater distance to shore has a critical impact on grid connection requirements for offshore wind power plants. This important reference sets out the fundamentals and latest innovations in electrical systems and control strategies deployed in...

Now reorganized and updated throughout, the fifth edition of this well-regarded introductory global issues text continues to reflect the most important aspects of an increasingly globalized world.

Reorganized into more accessible chapters better suited to semester-long courses, with new sections covering development,...

Adsorption by Powders and Porous Solids: Principles, Methodology and Applications

Academic Press, 1999

The declared objective of this book is to provide an introductory review of the various theoretical and practical aspects of adsorption by powders and porous solids with particular reference to materials of technological importance. The primary aim is to meet the needs of students and non-specialists, who are new to surface science or who wish to...

Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2007

As I wrote in my second edition preface, since the publication of the second edition in 2003, there have been tremendous changes in the fields of computer science and information sciences. During this period, we have become more dependent on computer and telecommunication technology than ever before. As we, individually and as nations, become more...

Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility: Oil Multinationals and Social Challenges

Cambridge University Press, 2009

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an important approach for addressing the social and environmental impact of company activities. Yet companies are increasingly expected to go beyond this. They are now often expected to assist in addressing many of the world's most pressing problems, including climate change, poverty and...

Valve Selection Handbook, Fifth Edition: Engineering Fundamentals for Selecting the Right Valve Design for Every Industrial Flow Application

Gulf Professional, 2003

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a...
