Economy - Energy - Environment Simulation: Beyond the Kyoto Protocol
دانلود:شبیه سازی محیطی-انرژی و اقتصادی
Summary:
The volume is based on a policy
simulation model linking sixty countries and regions at a detailed industrial
level, covering 99.5% of the world's economic activities. Country models are
linked by trade matrices that explicitly describe annual trade flow among world
regions. Energy demand and supply is explained in response to changing prices
reflecting emission trading and other market-oriented policy instruments. The
impact on global environment is gauged through CO2 emission. Simulation results
to 2010 with an explicit description of economy-energy-environment feedback
under different scenarios serve as an open platform for policy debate.
Comparisons with results from other research works are provided, together with
methodological comparisons. An annotated bibliography is also
included.

This richly illustrated volume completes Robert G.
Bailey's celebrated study of ecoregions, begun in the landmark Ecosystem
Geography (1996) and further articulated in Ecoregions (1998). In this third
installment, the author expands his system for defining large-scale ecological
zones to encompass principles of land management, regional planning, and design.
In an engaging, nontechnical discussion, he shows how larger patterns and
processes that characterize a region--its climate, topography, soils,
vegetation, fauna, and human culture--provide essential keys to the
sustainability of ecosystems. Ecoregion-Based Design for Sustainability will be
welcomed by land and resource managers, landscape architects and urban planners,
ecologists, students, and anyone interested in ecology-based design. "Bob Bailey
[is] the man behind the ecosystem mapping of the world." -Lingua Franca Reviews
of Ecoregions: "The book provides easy access to the geographic distribution,
characteristics, and processes operating behind every major ecosystem in the
world." -Geoscience Canada "Ecoregions offers an invaluable source of
description, interpretation and analysis of global patterns of ecosystem
distribution and successfully provides the reader with a means of making sense
of these patterns." -Geography Robert G. Bailey is a geographer with the United
States Forest Service in Fort Collins, Colorado. Formerly the leader of the
agency's Ecosystem Management Analysis Center, he is currently in charge of
ecoregion studies at the Inventory and Monitoring Institute.

Review
Endorsement:
"I know of no similar work (in scope,
content and orientation). That is why we are all waiting so anxiously for this
volume to be completed. Its perspective is unique."
Charles Finkel, Editor to
the "Journal of Coastal Research"
Reviews:
"The contents and approach are interdisciplinary and,
under a single cover, one finds subjects normally scattered throughout
scientific literature."
"The topics cover a broad spectrum, so does the
geographic range of the contributors. besides geomorphologists, biologists,
ecologists, engineers, geographers, geologists, oceanographers and technologists
will find information related to their respective fields . Inclusion of
appendices is very useful. The illustrated glossary of geomorphology will prove
very useful for many of us ."
Roger H. Charlier, Journal of Coastal Research, Volume 21, Number 4, Page 866, West Palm Beach, Florida, July 2005.
"It is an excellent work that should be included in any carefully selected list of best science reference books of the year."...."The editor has made a considerable effort to improve on Beaches. In both editions, the contributors' list is notable for having authors from all over the world, and the entries are about the same length, from a long paragraph to several pages."...."Summing Up: Highly recommended. For reference collections in university libraries and for other libraries located in coastal areas."
M.L. Larsgaard, Choice, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 989, Middletown, February 2006
"This volume is a comprehensive collection of articles covering all aspects of the subject: social and economic, engineering, coastal processes, habitats, erosion, geological features, research and observation." ... "As with similar works reviewed, I chose to read articles on familiar topics to see if they covered the expected, and some on unfamiliar topics to see if they could be readily understood. The book passed both tests, but the style is denser and more fact-filled than most of the encyclopedias I have reviewed."

Product Description
Soils long have been taken for granted being so commonplace and lacking often striking features. However, soil is one of the most complex media on Earth, vital for the biogeosphere and human civilization. With increased usage of soil for world food production, building materials, waste repositories, etc awareness has grown for the need of better global understanding of soil and its processes.
The Encyclopedia of Soil Science provides a comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume. It constitutes a wide ranging and authoritative collection of about 160 academic articles covering the salient aspects of soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, technology, genesis, morphology, classification and geomorphology.
The longer articles by leading authorities from around the world are being supplemented by ca 430 definitions of common terms in soil sciences. It should be emphasized though that the volume is not a dictionary but represents a compendium of knowledge.

Description:
The field of endocrine disruption or endocrine active
compounds (EACs), which is just emerging and still controversial, is
comprehensively covered by leading experts in Volume 3, Subvolumes L (the
present volume, Part I) and M (Part II). The major classes of endocrine active
chemicals are discussed, as well as methods for their detection and their
association with health disturbances in humans and wildlife. The etiology of
several of the human diseases associated with endocrine disruptors, e.g. breast
and prostate cancer, decreased fertility and malformations, is still poorly
understood, and the current state of knowledge is presented. Since hormonally
active agents appear to have the potential of both adverse and beneficial
effects, the evidence of health benefits associated with endocrine active
compounds in humans is also presented. Basic chapters on the mode of action of
EACs and on the etiology of the associated diseases facilitate the understanding
of this complex subject for non-medical readers.

Environmental Stratified Flows
دانلود کتاب:جریانهای لایه ای شکل در محیط زیست
The dynamics of flows in density-stratified fluids are an important topic for scientific enquiry. Flows arise in many contexts, ranging from industrial settings to the oceanic and atmospheric environments. Both the ocean and atmosphere are characterized by the basic vertical density stratification, and this feature can affect the dynamics on all scales ranging from the micro-scale to the planetary scale. This volume provides a state-of-the-art account of stratified flows as they are relevant to the ocean and atmosphere, with a primary focus on meso-scale phenomena; that is, phenomena whose time and space scales are such that the density stratification is a dominant effect, so that frictional and diffusive effects on the one hand and the effects of the earth's rotation on the other, can be regarded as of less importance.
Environmental Stratified Flows is essential to researchers in the field of oceanography, coastal and marine engineering, and environmental fluid dynamics.

دانلود کتاب:واپاشی اشعه ماوراء بنفش در محیط زیست
This publication originates from
the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Environmental Radiation: Impact on
Ecosystems and Human Health and Predictive Models, held in Pisa, Italy, in June
2001. The book offers not only basic information on the action mechanisms of UV
radiation on ecosystems and various biological systems, but also a picture of
the possible scenarios of the long-term global increase of environmental UV
radiation, with emphasis on the research aspects aimed at the proper
quantitative assessment of risk factors and the formulation of reliable
predictive models. The purpose of the authors is to present a critical
discussion on how changes in UV radiation will affect ecosystems and the
biological processes needed to sustain life on Earth and to provide useful hints
for future actions of governmental and international agencies, as well as
non-governmental organizations. The book is structured in four sections: the
first one is devoted to a general overview of the consequences of ozone
depletion and to the basic concepts of radiation measurements and monitoring;
the other three sections are devoted to the effects on plants, aquatic
ecosystems and human
health.
Eutrophication Management and Ecotoxicology
دانلود کتاب:مدیریت انباشتگی آبهای خوراکی
This book aims to bridge the gap between ecotoxicology and limnology. The intended readers of the book are water managers, policy makers with a scientific background as well as researchers/advisors in the area of water management. The book provides an ecotoxicological perspective on lake management and describes eutrophication of shallow, temperate lakes. It surveys the influence of toxic substances (e.g., agricultural pesticides) on the aquatic ecosystem, especially the relation between algae and daphnids. The message of the book is that nutrients such as phosphorus are not the only important factor in explaining and managing eutrophication: toxic disturbance of to-down control is also an important factor to be considered. The results of extensive studies and experiments (some unpublished) on lake eutrophication are presented in this book.

Excavations and Foundations in Soft Soils
دانلود کتاب:حفاری در خاکهای نرم
The book reviews the experiences with, as well as recent developments and research results on excavations and foundations in and on soft soil deposits. Geotechnical design and execution of civil engineering structures on very soft soils are usually associated with substantial difficulties. The aim of the authors is to give the readers an overview of the state of the art of material properties of soft soils and their application in excavations, different types of foundations and stabilization methods. The authors emphasize, however, that an underground with soft soil layer should not a priori be classified as extremely difficult and highly cost intensive. By making use of advance knowledge in soft soil engineering so far as available in the field of geotechnical engineering, it is possible to attain a technically safe and economically justifiable solution for a particular construction project. The book is expected to contribute much in this regard. The book is intended to serve practising as well as research engineers in the field of geotechnical engineering, moreover civil and structural engineers and advanced students may also find it a useful reference work

Book
Description:
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds
of natural or anthropogenic origin that resist photolytic, chemical and
biological degradation. They are characterized by low water solubility and high
lipid solubility, resulting in bioaccumulation in fatty tissues of living
organisms. These properties of unusual high persistence and semi-volatility,
coupled with other characteristics, have resulted in the presence of POPs all
over the world, even in regions where they have never been used. With the
evidence of long-range transport of these substances to regions, the
international community has now, at several occasions called for urgent global
actions to reduce and eliminate releases of these chemicals. Many countries have
already banned or severely restricted the production and use of the twelve POPs
in recent decades. Yet they remain a serious problem around the world. Because
these chemicals have the ability to travel long distances from their original
sources, relying on national-level action alone is ultimately a futile
effort.
This book employs a science-based approach to identify and take
action against POPs, and additionally, provides access to technical information
on POPs. The book will be an overview of the existing POP monitoring activities
and programs.

The
book fills a gap in the steadily expanding field of applying fractals to the
earth science system. In this book the concept of fractal-scaling is applied to
a variety of geophysical problems, illustrating what scaling laws really tell us
and how they can used to solve various geophysical problems. Keeping in mind the
broad range of readers interested in understanding earth’s nonlinear dynamics,
the authors address diverse recent advances related to fractals and scaling.
These include broad applications of fractal theory in potential field methods,
electrical and electromagnetic methods, geothermics and seismology, written by a
panel of internationally known earth scientists from around the globe.
Fuel Oxygenates
دانلود کتاب:جریانهای اکسیژن
Product Description:
The state of the art on fuel oxygenates, and in particular of MTBE in groundwater, is presented. Historically, oxygenates like MTBE were developed in the 1970s as octane enhancers to replace toxic additives like lead, which were phased out of gasoline. The presence of oxygenates in gasoline promotes cleaner fuel combustion within the engine, boosts fuel octane values and reduces vehicle emissions.
Another relevant oxygenate is ethyl-tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), which has increasingly replaced MTBE. Ethanol is by far the most commonly used alcohol oxygenate and bio-ethanol in particular is being increasingly used as a replacement for other fuel oxygenates.
Today the discussion on the increase on corn production to produce bio-ethanol in order to reduce our dependency on oil is in the press. As a consequence corn cultivation started to increase in Europe, the US and Brazil with subsidiary plans from the governments up to 0.4 Euros/liter of biethanol produced.
Other alcohols that can be used as fuel oxygenates are methanol and tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA). TBA is, in addition, the main degradation product of MTBE and a potential impurity from the MTBE manufacturing process.
This book deals mainly with the problems associated with the contamination of groundwater by MTBE and TBA, but ETBE is also considered. The book, written by recognized specialists in the field, is organized in sections covering state-of-the-art analytical methods, including specific isotopic analysis, occurrence in the environment, transport and degradation processes, treatment technologies and human health risks. It offers a unique opportunity not only for scientists who want to get more comprehensive information on this subject but also for policy makers and stakeholders that need to manage real-world environmental problems associated with fuel oxygenate contamination of our groundwater resources.
