This book addresses earth observation data policy.

This title offers more than 100 papers covering up-to-date research on a widening range of methods for recharge enhancement and groundwater quality protection and improvement. These include: bank filtration; aquifer storage; and recovery and soil ...

This work reviews soil mechanics in the light of critical state soil mechanics. A number of exercises are provided, and a microcomputer program, "Cris", used for simulation of the behaviour of soil samples.

Examining the results of more than forty-five laboratory studies and four prototype investigations, this text provides an understanding of stepped channel hydraulics, which is suitable for both researchers and professionals in the area.

This volume is an outcome of the symposia on the Crustacean Issues in the annual meeting of The Crustacean Society. It examines in depth timely topics at issue in contemporary carcinology. The volume covers studies of growth rate and life history in two of the major categories of crustaceans.

This volume is an outcome of the annual meeting of the crustacean society symposia on Crustacean Issues 2. It examines issues in contemporary carcinology. The volume emphasises on larval and postlarval growth in decapods.

This manual provides the procedures and data necessary to calculate discharges over and through hydraulic structures. Topics covered include discharge measurement structures; discharge relationships and component head losses.

With information on the latest industry developments, this text for practising hydraulic engineers, addresses issues relating to computing and controlling the scour process, its time-dependent character, and the predictability of scour relations.

Enamel, the shiny material covering the teeth of vertebrates is the hardest tissue the vertebrate body can produce and one of the most impressive products of biomineralization. This text covers such topics as ontogeny, prism level, enamel type lev...

The papers in this volume deal with the demonstration of the possibilities offered by computational technology as to finding better solutions to problems in different fields of structural dynamics, with a special emphasis on earthquake structural dynamics.

This textbook is the student edition of the work on vibrations, dynamics and structural systems. There are exercises included at the end of each chapter.

This book looks at attempts being made to improve mine fire combat efforts and their prevention, taking advantage of developments in the fields of science and technology.

This work describes the key results of the European research project called PROVERBS to develop and implement probability-based methods for the design of monolithic coastal structures and breakwaters subject to sea wave attacks.

Produced for the International Association for Hydraulic Research, this monograph covers fluctuating and mean hydrodynamic forces, hydrodynamic forces on high-head gates, and hydrodynamic forces on low-head gates.

Discussing issues related to the geology of Egypt and Libya, this text covers topics such as the tectonic framework of the two countries, a review of the stratigraphy of Libya, and the geology of the Pan-African Shield.

Linear mathematical assumptions for procedures in other branches of engineering have little relevance for geoengineering, which must accommodate non-linear behaviors.

A study on rock mechanics in salt mining, this work includes coverage of the exploration and opening of salt mining, deformation and failure of the salt, strata mechanics and control for different mining systems, and stability analyses of the mine.

This volume provides an overview of the proceedings of the XIIth ECSME Conference 1999. It covers a variety of topics, from summaries of workshops and sessions, to the emergence of information technology and information retrieval.

This book contains papers that reflect the wide-ranging interests of the Dutch archaeologist Maurits van Loon-prehistory, art history, and ancient history. It is a mine of useful information and synthesis for archaeologists working in the region of northern Syria.

This work discusses the state of the art in the field of rock scour assessment due to falling high-velocity jets. It covers topics such as: physical modelling; prototype observations; and numerical modelling and protection measures.

A compendium of terms, concepts, issues and methods involved in tunnel and chamber excavations and in lake-tap blasting, considering all aspects of the process from a conceptual to a practical involvement.

This book discusses the nutritional requirements, physiology, and diseases of prawn, and analyzes the contents of various techniques of prawn culture and the related problems, so as to help prawn culture to progress and to increase the production rate.

The pressuremeter test consists of placing a cylindrical probe in the ground expanding the probe to pressurize soil or rock horizontally. The pressure on the soil and the relative increase in cavity radius are obtained and give an in situ stress s...

This study investigates the use of constructed wetlands as a cheaper and more effective alternative method of treating domestic wastewater in tropical environments. This book determines the technical viability of the model, with respect to treatme...

Presenting a detailed coverage of the core aspects of fluid flow phenomena in a jointed rock mass, this text incorporates original research findings and discussion of various laboratory triaxial apparatus.

This text presents findings from the 3rd International Geotechnical Seminar, held in Ghent, Belgium. Topics include: American experiences with large diameter bored piles; case histories; static, dynamic and pile integrity testing; and installation...

This monograph seeks to strengthen the study of problems of mechanical vibrations and noise. It presents research covering such topics as structural damping.

This volume summarizes the results of experimental investigations on the mechanical behaviour of rock. These experiments have been conducted over a 40 year period in the Laboratory for the Physics of Rocks at High Pressure.

The increasing pollution of the environment as deliberate or unintentional consequences of human activities has to a great extent spoiled sensitive karst ecosytems. This text examines such consequences and proposals for what can be done in the future.
