eThekwini’s Green and Ecological Infrastructure Policy Landscape: Towards a Deeper Understanding

Springer, 2020

This book offers the reader a deeper understanding of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality’s green and ecological infrastructure policy landscape. The author utilises the PULSE3 analytical framework to conduct an in-depth examination and to show how experts frame and implement the municipality’s green and ecological infrastructure...

Classification, Parameter Estimation and State Estimation: An Engineering Approach Using MATLAB

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

Engineering disciplines are those fields of research and development that attempt to create products and systems operating in, and dealing with, the real world. The number of disciplines is large, as is the range of scales that they typically operate in: from the very small scale of nanotechnology up to very large scales that span whole regions,...

New Geometric Data Structures for Collision Detection and Haptics (Springer Series on Touch and Haptic Systems)

Springer, 2013

Starting with novel algorithms for optimally updating bounding volume hierarchies of objects undergoing arbitrary deformations, the author presents a new data structure that allows, for the first time, the computation of the penetration volume. The penetration volume is related to the water displacement of the overlapping region, and thus...

The Age of Living Machines: How Biology Will Build the Next Technology Revolution

W W Norton, 2019

From the former president of MIT, the story of the next technology revolution, and how it will change our lives.

A century ago, discoveries in physics came together with engineering to produce an array of astonishing new technologies: radios, telephones, televisions, aircraft, radar, nuclear power,...

Surface Properties of Non-conventional Cellulose Fibres (SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science)

Springer, 2019

The authors describe how sustainable textile fibers from crops such as quinoa, grass, hops, corn and wheat stems, etc. have recently begun to generate great interest. The structure-property relationships of such non-conventional cellulose fibers are studied in this brief, as are their sorption and surface properties which are of primary...

AD HOC NETWORKS: Technologies and Protocols

Springer, 2004

Wireless mobile networks and devices are becoming increasingly popular as
they provide users access to information and communication anytime and anywhere.
Conventional wireless mobile communications are usually supported
by a wired fixed infrastructure. A mobile device would use a single-hop wireless
radio communication to...

In its 3rd annual edition, The Little Green Data Book 2004 is a pocket-sized ready reference on key environmental data for over 200 countries. Key indicators are organized under the headings of agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, energy, emission and pollution, and water and sanitation.

Profiles of each country include 48 key development...

Plant Growth and Climate

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences physiological processes. At larger scales,...

Data-Driven Modeling: Using MATLAB® in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering (Water Science and Technology Library)

Springer, 2013

“Data-Driven Modeling: Using MATLAB® in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering” provides a systematic account of major concepts and methodologies for data-driven models and presents a unified framework that makes the subject more accessible to and applicable for researchers and practitioners. It integrates important...

Risk and Interdependencies in Critical Infrastructures: A Guideline for Analysis (Springer Series in Reliability Engineering)

Springer, 2012

Today’s society is completely dependent on critical networks such as water supply, sewage, electricity, ICT and transportation. Risk and vulnerability analyses are needed to grasp the impact of threats and hazards. However, these become quite complex as there are strong interdependencies both within and between infrastructure...

Introduction to Reticular Chemistry: Metal-Organic Frameworks and Covalent Organic Frameworks

John Wiley & Sons, 2019

A concise introduction to the chemistry and design principles behind important metal-organic frameworks and related porous materials

Reticular chemistry has been applied to synthesize new classes of porous materials that are successfully used for myraid applications in areas such as gas separation, catalysis, energy, and...

Environmental Pollution and Control, Fourth Edition

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1997

Complex environmental problems are often reduced to an inappropriate level of simplicity. While this book does not seek to present a comprehensive scientific and technical coverage of all aspects of the subject matter, it makes the issues, ideas, and language of environmental engineering accessible and understandable to the nontechnical...
