Set-up and Incorporation of an Atmospheric Chemistry Scheme Suitable for Long-term Integration into the Regional Climate Model REMO

····· lezzter Preis 18.05€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The general aim as formulated at the start of this Ph.D. research has been to compose a state-of-the-art three-dimensional regional scale atmospheric transport chemistry model (CTM) which can be used for both long-term tropospheric chemistry and regional air quality simulations. REMO has been extended by a photo-chemical reaction scheme, ReLACS (Crassier et al., 2000) as a secondary lumped chemistry mechanism of the RACM (Stockwell et al., 1997) is used for that purpose. A program that allows on-line photolysis rate calculations (FAST-J2) (Wild et al., 2000) and an efficient ODE solver (CHEMEQ2) based on alpha-QSS approach (Mott et al, 2000 Mott and Oran et al., 2001) are utilized. We refer to this extended REMO as RECCM (REgional Climate Chemistry Model). With the aid of this model the processes and their interactions that control the chemical composition of the troposphere can be investigated.In order to reach the aim described above the first step is to build up and validate the chemical module, which is one of the most important components in the 3-D model. With well-designed scenarios (Poppe et al., 2001) a validation test of the chemical module was carried out using our box model. The test results was analyzed and evaluated through comparing with reference based on RACM. The processes involved in continuity equation of species include horizontal advection, vertical advection and turbulent diffusion, re-distribution due to cumulus convective system, chemical transformation, dry deposition and emission rates. The appropriate numerical schemes for solving each process by operator splitting are proposed. The interface between REMO and the chemical module is developed through which the real time variables, i.e., cloud optical depth, surface albedo, pressure and temperature profiles from REMO are transferred into chemical module for chemical rate constants and photolysis rates calculations at each time step. The modeled ozone profile is used for ozone input for photolysis rates calculation. A proper approach to deal with EMEP emission data is proposed. This approach can provide the hourly input of emissions to the model. In result the first version of RECCM becomes available. The baseline simulation of the year of 1999 is carried out after model set up is finished. Annual cycle of ozone and oxidants are obtained by the simulation. The quality of model runs are analysed by comparing with wide range of observation data over Europe. The basic features of ozone spatial distribution and seasonal variation over Europe in 1999 are identified from the measurements. The three typical patterns over Europe derived from observations agree well with the results from measurements covered the time period March 1989 - February 1993(Scheel et al., 1997). The model simulations have ability to reproduce the regional patterns. The case study of early spring ozone in Spain shows the ability of RECCM to simulate this ongoing debate issue. The results suggest that early spring ozone for this case is mainly caused by downward transport of ozone rich air from upper levels rather than due to regional scale photochemistry. In addition the simulation of a pronounced high ozone episode during 29 July to 4 August 1999 is presented and analyzed. RECCM performance is reasonable according to comparing simulations against observations. The model is evaluated based on model quality objectives (MQO). The model quality is comparable with three of six models involved in inter-comparison of CTMs within GLOREAM. However the same kind of simulation data, for example, one annual cycle of 1999 from these models is needed if a full version inter-comparison has to be implemented. ····· 10361169685

Characteristics and implications of surface gravity waves in the littoral zone of a large lake (Lake Constance)

····· lezzter Preis 18.05€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Summary This thesis is the first long-term investigation that gives a detailed characterization of the surface wave field including small-amplitude waves with a high temporal resolution in a lacustrine environment. In Lake Constance, wind as well as ship waves contribute to the overall wave field, whereas ship waves are as important as wind waves on an annual scale and even dominate the wave field during summer. The specific occurrence and properties of wind and ship waves cause different temporal patterns and have various implications on sediment resuspension and the underwater light climate, which in turn affect biotic processes in the littoral ecosystem. The results of this thesis demonstrate the strong linkages between physical processes and biological conditions, which supports the need of integrated research. ····· 10361169914

Social Representation of Climate Change

····· lezzter Preis 19.90€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In this report we underline the importance of studying the social representation of climate change for climate policy, especially in a democracy such as India. Social representations are, from a social science point of view, no epiphenomena of real issues, but the very fabric of individual reality and, building on that, collective decision making. If climate change is not socially represented, it is not there in a society. We brie y characterise the Indian climate discourse, which we perceive as being more complex (heterogeneous) than the European or American one. After a brief look at other studies of climate change perceptions, we turn to our own small sample of qualitative interviews (n=16) in Hyderabad, covering a broad range of issues. We then focus on the way our respondents do represent climate change in the context of weather changes, of its causes, and of possible solutions. We present a typology of cognitive maps of climate change, and relate them to the lifestyle and the social context of the respondents that adhere to it. We also try to identify some starting points for a meaningful climate change discourse in Hyderabad, aiming at the improvement of both local adaptation and local mitigation. The report ends with some general conclusions. ····· 10361173015

Impact of SmallholdersAccess to Land and Credit Markets on Technology Adoption and Land Use Decisions

····· lezzter Preis 25.65€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study examines the impact of smallholders` access to land and credit markets and ist impact on the adoption of technologies as well as land use decisions in the vicinity of the Lore-Lindu national park, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study focuses on upland areas which are devoted to cocoa and coffee because these agricultural activities contribute to the pressure on the Lore Lindu National Park. At the current level of forest encroachment, these activities threaten the existence of the Lore Lindu National Park. The adoption of technologies as an indicator of agricultural intensification can play an important role in reducing the pressure on the forest. A necessary condition to apply advanced technology is the availability of sufficient financial capital. However, most of the farm households in the vicinity of the Lore Lindu National Park are categorized as smallholders and face a lack of capital. Therefore the role of rural financial services to relax their liquidity constraint is important. In the analyses the rural financial services are divided into informal and formal credit institutions. The various econometrics model used in the analysis are: (1) the determinants of land possessions by households, by using a tobit model (2) the determinants of households access to and participation in informal credit markets by using a probit model (3) the determinants of technology adoption by using a two step and recursive model (4) The determinants of the households` credit constraint by applying a probit model and (5) the impact of households credit constraint on land use decisions by using a switching regression model. ····· 10361158205

Spatial variability of soils on national and hillslope scale in Uganda

····· lezzter Preis 25.65€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Uganda`s soil degradation problems have emerged as a major concern and are threatening the food security of many farmers. In order to tailor site-specific corrective land management, this study investigates the spatial variability of key soil-quality parameters on a national and hillslope scale and assesses the soil redistribution rates on hillslopes in Uganda. Soil and environmental data were collected from 107 villages and 2 hillslopes in Uganda. On a national scale, a GIS-based stratification produced 18 spatial development domains that serve as a pre-classification of soils in Uganda. Within these domains, a zonation algorithm can further delineate hillslopes into landscape elements based on soil variability. This can be done by farmers. The Caesium-137 modeling approach is a suitable technique to estimate soil erosion and sedimentation rates and processes on the hillslopes. These GIS-based maps and hillslope delineation tools can help policy makers and farmers in tailoring appropriate land use systems to their fields and landscapes. ····· 10361158067

En el presente estudio, se hace énfasis en la zonificación del riesgo de deslizamientos en carreteras debido a que, en Bolivia, particularmente en Cochabamba, existen varios tramos carreteros que están constantemente con este problema. Se hace incapié en la necesidad de una metodología que haga frente a esta tarea y que a su vez contemple el hecho de que en paises en vías de desarrollo la información para análisis de este tipo es excasa y/o inexistente. Con esto en cuenta la metodología tiene como variables principales la geología, la topografía, datos de precipitación y de sismos en el área de estudio. Todos estos datos son combinados con ayuda de un Sistema de Información Geográfica y organizados en una esrtuctura jerárquica para emplear el Análisis Jerárquico de Procesos (AHP)en la obtención del mapa final de riesgos. Con los resultados obtenidos es posible establecer zonas dónde son requeridos estudios a más detalle.

Ein besseres Verständnis der genetischen Diversität und ihrer Verteilung ist nicht nur für eine effektive Nutzung der genetischen Ressourcen in Züchtungsprogrammen notwendig, sondern auch für die Gestaltung von Sammelreisen und Erhaltungsprojekten. Dazu wurde die Diversität bei äthiopischen tetraploiden Weizenlandsorten mittels morphologischer und molekularer Marker untersucht. Für die morphologische Analyse wurden 271 Akzessionen auf 13 morphologische und agronomische Merkmale untersucht. Zur Anwendung kamen statistische Verfahren wie der Shannon Weaver Diversitäts-Index und multivariate Techniken (Clustering, Ordination, Diskriminanz-Analyse). Die Ergebnisse der Hauptkomponenten - Analyse ergaben, dass die ersten fünf Hauptkomponenten mit Eigenvalues >175, 42% der Gesamtvariation aller Akzessionen bestimmen. Sowohl die Cluster-Analyse als auch Scatter-Plot von PC1 gegenüber PC2 zeigten das Fehlen eines klaren Musters einer regionalen Gruppenierung, da die Akzessionen verschiedener Gebiete über viele Cluster verteilt waren. Mit der Diskriminanz-Analyse konnten die Akzessionen mit einer mittelren korrekten Klassifikationsrate von 60,9% differenziert werden. Wichtige Variablen der Diskriminanz-Analyse waren Tage bis zum Ährenschieben und Ährenlänge. Der Shannon-Weaver Diversitäts-Index für alle Merkmale betrug 0,74. Die Aufteilung der phänotypischen Gesamt-Diversität in eine Diversität zwischen den und in eine solche innerhalb der Regionen ergab Werte von 0,71 bzw. 0,29. Im allgemeinen zeigte die phänotypsche Diversität beträchtliche Unterschiede für jedes Merkmal in verschiedenen geographischen Regionen und Höhenklassen. ····· 10361158274

Chinesische Touristen in Deutschland DrostenDoktorarbeit

····· lezzter Preis 28.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
`Wir rechnen damit, dass im Laufe der Zeit jeder Chinese einmal Deutschland besucht.` (Altbundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder, 2003)Fakt oder Fiktion Tatsache ist, dass Prognosen davon ausgehen, dass China mit 100 Millionen Auslandstouristen im Jahr 2015 mittelfristig Deutschland als Reiseweltmeister ablösen wird. Tatsache ist auch, dass sich der Quellmarkt China in jüngster Vergangenheit unter großer medialer Aufmerksamkeit ins Rampenlicht des Interesses von Touristikern rund um den Globus katapultiert hat. Tatsache ist zudem, dass sich in einer Zeit, in der kaum ein Bundesbürger die `kameraschwingenden` chinesischen Touristen mit ihren bei Zeiten `ungewöhnlichen` Verhaltensweisen von japanischen oder koreanischen Gästegruppen unterscheiden kann, das China-Fieber auch Deutschland erreicht hat. Doch Tatsache ist letztendlich auch, dass trotz der erheblichen Potentiale, die der chinesische Auslandstourismus bei oberflächlicher Betrachtung birgt, er sich in der Praxis nur allzu oft als Irrgarten voller Hindernisse entpuppt. Chinesische Touristen werden unweigerlich dem globalen Tourismus ihren Stempel aufdrücken und auch in der touristischen Destination Deutschland Akzente setzen. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt den chinesischen Auslandstourismus unter die Lupe. Sie untersucht die Entwicklung, die er in der Vergangenheit nahm, entschlüsselt die Ursachen der globalen Euphorie, die er in jüngster Zeit ausgelöst hat, beschreibt seine zentrale Charakteristika und analysiert seine Bedingungen sowie Auswirkungen im Hinblick auf zwei zentrale Fragen: Kann China ein Zukunftsquellmarkt für die Destination Deutschland sein und inwieweit ist Deutschland überhaupt darauf vorbereitet, Reiseziel für chinesische Touristen zu sein ····· 10361205386

The Art of Exploration

für 28.50€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The upstream oil business is an important branch to employ people with geo-scientific education. Beyond clear geological HC-schoolbook-traps there is a certain gap between pure geosciences and a final G&G model in hydrocarbon exploration. The absolute knowledge of geosciences about Mother Earth will always remain on an intermediate level somewhere in between zero and hundred percent. Aiming from such trusted intermediate standpoint for a final scientific solution of a given exploratory problem, the number of possible G&G models would increase to infinity then. Geosciences provide the general technical platform for all exploratory tasks, but to achieve the final decision level for a monetary investment in hydrocarbon exploration a human filter must be added to this G&G technology. Such human filter consists of the personal experience of people and the solid technical brain trust of upstream oil companies. Solely this human filter could delimitate the number of possible scientific solutions in hydrocarbon exploration to just one final G&G model which has then to face the economic project hurdles and the exploratory risk.It`s a fully normal behaviour when human beings are permanently trying to avoid risks because we all have an immanent adherence to safeness. But in hydrocarbon exploration only those characters will be successful who could accept a failure to be a landmark on their way to success. The discrepancy amongst pure geosciences and the requirements of hydrocarbon exploration may be generally defined to be the gap in experience between a junior and a senior G&G position in the upstream oil business. This book aims to close this gap with a closer look on the basic requirements of hydrocarbon exploration. In addition, this book describes the general economic rules of the upstream oil business and tries to pass some practical information to the next generation of explorationists. At the very end, to become explorationists in the upstream oil branch, people with university degrees in Geology and Geophysics must learn to stand up again after having drilled a failed wildcat and fight for their next project chance in hydrocarbon exploration with the same unbowed belief. ····· 1036114562

Sticky triangles: New tools for experimental phasing of biological macromolecules

····· lezzter Preis 30.64€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
X-ray crystallography is the prime method for the elucidation of three-dimensional molecular structures. The determination of novel structures is hampered by the crystallographic phase problem. For biological macromolecules experimental phasing is one technique to solve this phase problem it usually requires the incorporation of heavy atoms in the protein crystal. In this thesis a new class of compounds was developed that combines heavy atoms for experimental phasing with functional groups for interaction with biological macromolecules. Three functional groups interact with protein residues and make the compounds sticky. Three halogen atoms provide a strong anomalous signal and may be used for experimental phasing. The halogen atoms form an equilateral triangle, which is easily recognised in the heavy-atom substructure. So far several novel protein structures have been solved with the iodine triangle compound. The sticky compounds of the current work are readily available and easy to use. ····· 10361192989

Major Aspects of the Chronostratigraphy and Geologic Evolutionary History of Mars

····· lezzter Preis 34.20€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This thesis was conducted in the framework of the German Research Foundation`s priority program Mars and the Terrestrial Planets as part of the project Chronostratigraphy of Mars. All global stratigraphic and geologic systems for Mars have been based on remote sensing data gathered during the Mariner 9 and Viking mission (Tanaka, 1986 Tanaka et al., 1992a), culminating in three 1:15M-scale geologic maps by Scott and Tanaka (1986) Greeley and Guest (1987) Tanaka and Scott (1987). Generally, most of the surface-forming processes were placed in the early phase of the Martian evolution. Chrono-stratigraphic schemes for Mars are derived from imagery and crater frequencies observed during Mariner 9 and Viking missions, and however, led to a wide range of chronologic systems with no clear consensus on the absolute ages (Hartmann, 1973b Soderblom et al., 1974 Neukum and Wise, 1976 Hartmann et al., 1981 Neukum and Hiller, 1981 Neukum, 1983 Strom et al., 1992). Missions launched in the late 1990ies, such as Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey revealed very young volcanic surfaces, correlating in age with Martian meteorite crystallization ages (Hartmann, 1999a). Additionally, global topography (Smith et al., 1999a,b, Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) and gravity data (Zuber et al., 2000) as well as the discovery of strong remnant magnetization of the older Martian crust (Acu¿na et al., 1999), implied a more continual and diverse evolution than previously thought. ····· 10361158266

Changes in Saxon Precipitation Characteristics

Changes in regional precipitation pattern as well as in daily, monthly and seasonal precipitation extremes were analysed for more than 100 rain gauge stations in Saxony, Germany and surrounding areas. Trend analysis was done for a variety of heavy precipitation and drought indicators. The results were compared for study periods of different length like 1951¿2000 and 1901¿2006 and of varying digital data availability. Usually, the trends of dry and wet precipitation extremes are simi-lar to the general precipitation trends. Drought events increased during the summer half of the year (April to September), while wet extremes got more frequent and se-vere in the winter half year. Trends opposite to those of average precipitation like the slight increase of heavy precipitation events in summer were mainly noticed for indicators of more extreme and thus particularly rare events. Nevertheless, those tendencies are generally less robust and significant. The spatio-temporal (trend) patterns of individual indicators suggest dependencies of and changes in large scale circulation pattern. ····· 10361192582

Una evaluación de riesgo a la salud (ERS) es un estudio técnico que, basado en la información científica disponible sobre la peligrosidad de una o más sustancias presentes en el ambiente, analiza la posibilidad que organismos expuestos (humanos o biota) sufran efectos negativos para la salud como resultado de ese contacto. En esta obra se estudia las posibilidades que ofrecerían la integración de las ERS a los Sistemas de información Geográfica para constituir herramientas de evaluación de la calidad del agua. Sobre la base de información sobre sustancias tóxicas en el agua subterránea que se usa para bebida, se plantean las bases para desarrollar ERS probabilísticas georreferenciadas que permitan integrar la distribución espacial del riesgo con otras capas de información (población, área cubierta, ubicación de fuentes de contaminación, plumas contaminantes, etc.).

La predicción del terremoto de 1906 ¿ciencia o fantasía?

für 35.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Después del trágico terremoto del 16 de agosto de 1906 en Valparaíso, Chile, se supo que el sismo había sido pronosticado 10 días antes por el Capitán de Corbeta Arturo Middleton Cruz, Jefe de la Sección de Meteorología de la Armada de Chile, quien trabajaba con una teoría astrológica posteriormente llamada Solectrics , del marino inglés Alfred Jopling Cooper. Después de más de 100 años, cuando aún los sismos no pueden anticiparse, la leyenda de Middleton sigue siendo contada por los historiadores y la prensa sin ninguna reflexión. En este trabajo el autor no sólo rescata detalles fundamentales que se publicaron entre 1901 y 1917 y que cambian totalmente la actual interpretación del pronóstico, sino que además especula sobre cuál pudo haber sido la historia de Cooper y de su teoría. El trabajo desmitifica el pronóstico y los supuestos aciertos de Cooper, muestra que Middleton no trabajó solo y revela el triste final de su historia. Siempre mirando los hechos desde el punto de vista de la ciencia, el autor observa cómo las omisiones y errores que se propagan de artículo en artículo, tergiversan y ocultan la historia en favor de los nuevos profetas que siguen y seguirán apareciendo. ····· 10361136347

Klimawandel und nachhaltige Ökonomie

für 42.00€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Klimawandel und nachhaltige Ökonomie sind zwei Aspekte derselben, vielleicht größten politischen Aufgabe unserer Zeit. Die Problematik erstreckt sich von unsicheren Hintergrundinformationen über fundamentale Ziel- und Interessenkonflikte bis hin zu berechtigten politischen Meinungsverschiedenheiten. Dem akut empfundenen Handlungsbedarf stehen schleppende, nahezu ergebnislose Verhandlungen gegenüber, und einseitiges Handeln erweist sich als kontraproduktiv. Sind wir dieser Herausforderung gewachsen Durch die gezielte Zusammenführung ausgewählter, teils auch gegensätzlicher Perspektiven aus Naturwissenschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft ist in diesem Band eine gleichermaßen aktuelle wie grundlegende Erörterung dieses Themas zustande gekommen. Es wird deutlich: -wie weit die Erkenntnisse der Wissenschaft reichen und welche Fragen offen bleiben müssen, -welche grundsätzlichen Zielkonflikte zu entscheiden sind und welche strategischen Interdependenzen es dabei zu berücksichtigen gilt,-welche Schlüsse daraus diejenigen ziehen, die heute für politische und wirtschaftliche Entscheidungen verantwortlich sind. Interessierte Wissenschaftler, Entscheidungsträger und zunehmend auch persönlich betroffene Bürger finden in diesem Buch einen reichen Schatz an Informationen, Erläuterungen und Stellungnahmen von exponierten Persönlichkeiten der Klimawandel-Debatte. Einen thematischen Schwerpunkt bilden ökonomische Grundsatzfragen und Dilemmata, deren Verständnis zur fundierten Meinungsbildung und Entwicklung realistischer Lösungsansätze unerlässlich ist.Abschließend ist die Resolution wiedergegeben, die anlässlich des 3. Internationalen Ökonomentags am 28.10.2011 von den Ökonomenverbänden bdvb und VÖWA verabschiedet wurde. ····· 10361108518

Over the last decade, the technological development has revolutionized the world. Electrical and electronic products have become ubiquitous in modern day life. The technological boom has, however, brought with it a new problem the problem of e-waste that barely existed to cause concern two decades ago. The e-waste now represents the biggest and fastest growing manufacturing of wastes with as high as about 40 million tons a year at the global level. Generation and use of e-product and it`s widespread distribution eventually leads to hazardous problem of e-waste, which has been largely taken as `out of sight out of mind` issue by doth developed and developing nations. While the developing world has consumed the largest share of more than 1 billion PC sold, the less developed countries end to bear the environmental cost, as most of them welcome their shipment for recycling. Even though, the inevitable consequence on the natural resources and subsequent impact on the health and livelihood base of poor communities are yet to be established, the problem with e-waste will continue to grow faster as the pace of development takes greater leaps as has been in last few decades. ····· 10361361

Drought influences in great amount of agricultural production in tropical region. It threatens almost half the population and food insecurity regularly.Despite in most of developing country of the people are engaged in agriculture, the production of crop is also practiced by rain fed and production is affected by non-regular distribution of weather system. These can cause a problem of food insecurity for the region. With this back ground, the research try to address and investigate how some of the climatic parameters would be factored into the local maize yield related policies and planning so that social and economic resources could be utilized optimally amongst the grass-root levels. The results of this study would therefore create awareness among the Climate- yield related service providers and produce user-tailored information that enable the society to mitigate the possible climate related burden and minimize the likelihood risks. ····· 10361529

The main idea of this paper could be summarized by the Latin proverb: Audiatur et altera pars - literally, hear the other side. One of my greatest concerns is that history is studied from only one perspective as the well known saying goes history is written by the winners. This paper will be controversial because I explore the positive side of the Canadian Indian residential schools. I am fully aware of the fact that residential schools were about suffering, pain and often about sexual abuse. I do not intend to question the survivals account of horror or call in doubt their validity. On the other hand, in order to do justice to all former students of residential schools I consider it essential to show the other side of the coin. We were taught by history books which were written from one perspective and it was said that if we want to understand residential schools we will have to read more about them to have a clear view. But books are often edited from one perspective. Whose perspective is it Are we entitled to neglect the other side Do we have the right to decide even if the the other side is not known... ····· 1036120396

Creating awareness about representations is one of the objectives of the study. Before forming an opinion about the representation of print media in films it is important to know what those representations represent. Today there are online newspapers and it co-exists with the traditional print media. Thus the researcher has found it more important to study the portrayal of the print media in films in the context of today s time and space. The researcher is not trying to appeal that print media should be potrayed in a certain way. The research contains analysis of some films to study the representation. Researcher is not being judgemental about the representations but only investigating the depiction of print media, journalists and professions in films, as film is a different medium from print. The researcher, a student of Communication feels the necessity of this enquiry about the representation of the print media in the films and the way in which it has been represented. ····· 1036121140

The minimum terminal decline rate method starts with the Arps Hyperbolic Method. The model then switches to the Exponential form of the equation at a predetermined decline rate. This procedure is widely used for estimating future production, however if the assumptions of the Arps Models- namely boundary dominated flow- are not met, the application of this methodology may not be appropriate. This monograph reviews the findings from applying the Minimum Terminal Decline Rate Method to two well types that are unlikely to satisfy this criterion: vertical layered fractured wells in tight formations and horizontal multi-fractured wells in shale formations. Both simulated and real well data are evaluated at various points throughout the life of the well and varying terminal decline rates are applied. The forecasted outcomes are compared to the known production results. This process can allow the reader to make conclusions regarding wells with similar properties. ····· 1036187532

The IVICV was investigated in a reactive mode for IW with full production network and the results compared with those of a Open Hole Completion. The Smart well case with reactive control strategy was preferred for the field,as it can be used as a tool for maximizing reserves recovery-as reservoir management tool, by the use of robust permanent temperature and pressure sensors which have capability to function in HT/HP harsh environment. Another advantage that smart completion have is that, PDM Multiphase Flow Meters, Seismic Sensors, and electrodes have the ability to deliver formation imaging away from the well bore. With better data management, they can be connected from control centers and immediate action taken to changes in down hole conditions. Also the data that is obtained from ICs is used to continually enhance and update the field model and simulations carry out production tests and interpretations based on individual zones and laterals prediction of sand and water encroachment measure water cut and flow rate. ····· 1036187783

Future Climate change scenarios of precipitation and potential evaporation were developed using output of dynamically downscaled data of ECHAM5 (GCM) under A1B emission scenario condition for 2030 s (2031-2040) and 2090 s (2091-2100). The projected climate variable showed an increasing trend from the 1991-2000(base period) level. The monthly mean minimum and maximum temperature shows an increasing trend. It is estimated that the average seasonal and annual potential evaporation in the watershed for 2030 s might increase up to 5.2% and 4% respectively and in 2090 s the average potential evaporation might increase up to 15.85% seasonally and 12.66% annually. Besides, at 2030 s it is exhibited that the average seasonal precipitation might increase from 12.14% up to 62.79% and annually 30.22%. The simulation results obtained from the investigation indicated that there was a significant variation in the seasonal and monthly flow in both future period scenarios.

Many countries across the world, except in Africa, have established national eco-labels since the 1990s. Coincidentally, most of these countries enjoy significant economic development. The establishment of a national eco-label requires the involvement of different stakeholders such as government, consumers, producers, academia and civic society. Credibility of the eco-label is brought about by establishment of strict but achievable standards which are certified by an independent body. The assessment of environmental attributes of the product/service category must be based on Life Cycle Assessment or part of it for objectivity. Namibia must thus seriously consider adopting a national eco-label so as to easily access export markets and become and remain competitive. The National Eco-label Board/Council composed of wide stakeholders is proposed to drive the initiative. The Ministry of Trade and Industry and that of Environment and Tourism must play an active role to provide administrative, financial and moral support to the initiative. ····· 10361118171

Climate change has emerged as a contentious environmental issue, occurring due to increasing concentration of green house gases in atmosphere since the pre industrial times. The cost-effective reduction of GHG emissions to avert the most severe impacts of climate change remains one of the widely accepted priorities for global action. The Kyoto Protocol, adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1997, was designed to address this priority while promoting sustainable development. The report discusses certain salient features on development of methane recovery from wastewater treatment and elucidates their interrelationship. To elaborate the modalities, a case study of a power generation project from two Sewage treatment plants has been incorporated. The objective is to estimate the emission reductions that will be achieved after the implementation of the project activity and hence establish the baseline. It also elaborates on the principle and concept of CDM and how it can help project to become viable by the additional income generated from the CDM component which acts as a driving force for developing nations to promote waste to energy projects. ····· 1036187181

Uno de los problemas a que se enfrenta a la planificación territorial, es la ineficacia de los planes de ordenamiento ecológico y desarrollo urbano instrumentados por los gobiernos estatales y municipales. La sectorización del ordenamiento territorial en ecológico y urbano ha ocasionado que los programas de ordenamiento aparezcan desarticulados y con una visión fragmentada del territorio. ····· 1036123222

Knitted Spacer Structure for Inner Garment of CBRN Protective Clothing

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
A new concept of a knitted fluid accumulator structure to be used as an inner layer for CBRN clothing is presented that would enable the wearer to remain comfortable for a longer period. The fluid accumulator is constructed as a three layered knitted spacer fabric using a monofilament yarn for the two outer layers and a highly absorbent yarn, knitted in-between these two layers as a middle absorbent layer. The inner monofilament layer is used as a wicking layer that would only transport liquid (sweat) without absorbing it into the structure, while the middle absorbent layer would absorb and hold it in its structure. The outer monofilament layer can be coated with an impermeable finish to avoid water contamination with other protective layers of the CBRN clothing. Absorbency results obtained from a Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System (GATS) demonstrate the basic principle behind the knitted spacer accumulator structure. ····· 1036120294

Systematic Conservation Planning for South Africa`s Forest Biome:

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
South African forests have by far the highest number of tree species per unit area of any temperate forest in the world, with a high proportion of these occurring nowhere else in the world. There are also at least 24 different forest types, each with their own distinctive combination of fauna and flora. South African forests are also highly fragmented, with more than 16 000 patches, spread across a wide geographic area. Many of these forests are surrounded by expanding human populations and are increasingly vulnerable to irreversible biodiversity loss. In the past, forest protected area planning has not been systematic and has overlooked the importance of landscape level ecosystem processes. As such, the current forest protected area network is not representative of the range of forest diversity found in South Africa, and is unable to ensure the persistence of the patterns and processes that make up forest biodiversity. This study applies the approach of systematic conservation planning to identify conservation priorities that can facilitate the planning of a representative forest protected area network to ensure persistence of forest biodiversity. ····· 10361146824

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Dynamics

Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is one of the important area in the the unsolved classical physics. Roll of atmospheric boundary layer have been increasingly investigated since the IIOE period to improve the monsoon predictions. ABL is the layer just above the earth surface and influenced by the surface forcing with a short time span of an hour or less. ABL plays significant role in exchange of momentum, heat and moisture from the surface to the free atmosphere. In this book, we tried to present many relevant studies done by various scientists. Also we included the dynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of ABL over marine, coastal and inland areas on different temporal domains. The ABL studies are important in the tropical region especially over the Indian region where monsoon plays a vital role. Thus major scientific problems addressed in this book are coastal meteorological phenomena, characteristics in the ABL during active and weak monsoon phases, spatial and seasonal variations of ABL over marine atmosphere and the variation of the boundary layer structure over an inland station. ····· 10361134169

Non Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) plays a vital role in the formation process of ozone in urban environment, where vehicle emissions are dominant. Ozone is known for its negative impacts on human health and environment. The objectives of this research were to study the statistical distribution of NMHC concentrations at two sites in Pinang (one on the Mainland and one on the island) to develop modeling system of NMHC concentrations prediction to monitor NMHCs concentrations in several places with different development status to investigate the relationship between NMHC concentrations and meteorological factors (temperature, humidity, wind speed and wind direction) to verify the NMHC emission sources and to propose suitable actions to reduce the NMHC levels in Pulau Pinang. ····· 10361131805

Heat Flow in Oklahoma and the south central United States

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The book presents a full methodology for investigating heat flow and heat generation on a large scale (state). Detailed description of thermal conductivities measurements is given. Heat generation estimation is described. A thorough error analysis lends confidence to the final heat flow values. The book includes the first heat flow and heat generation maps of Oklahoma. The study is extended to the south central United States by incorporating additional heat flow data from neighboring states. Heat flow in Oklahoma appears to be consistent with that measured in other stable tectonic provinces of similar ages. The primary control on heat flow appears to be heat production in basement rocks, although it is difficult to establish a correlation because the heat flow and heat generation were measured at different sites. Factors such as tectonic transients and heat refraction appear to exert little influence on the present thermal regime. Although conduction seems to be the dominant mechanism of heat transport throughout the upper crust in most of Oklahoma, high heat flow in one section of east central Oklahoma may be related to regional groundwater flow. ····· 1036119751

Análisis de las Mipymes agroindustriales Colombo-Venezolanas

La globalización suele asociarse con la idea de intensificar la integración de mercados, fundamentada en la desregulación, liberalización y privatización, así como en la reducción de los obstáculos al movimiento de bienes y factores de producción entre países. En las últimas décadas la humanidad asiste a una realidad en la que cada vez es más reducido el número de corporaciones o conglomerados que controlan la industria global, incluida la de alimentos. Como consecuencia el número de empresas que ofrecen los distintos productos agroalimentarios se ha reducido, al tiempo que su tamaño se ha incrementado y su poder de mercado se ha concentrado. Si bien es un fenómeno mundial, ha sido disímil entre países, pues el incremento del comercio internacional y de la inversión ha ocurrido mayormente en las economías industrializadas. América Latina no ha escapado a este fenómeno: como parte de aquélla, Venezuela y Colombia han suscrito en años recientes a diversos acuerdos y tratados como el Acuerdo de Cartagena, posteriormente devenido en la Comunidad Andina de Naciones el G-3 junto, con México individualmente acuerdos comerciales con terceros países o bloques, como el TLC entre EE.UU. y C ····· 10361136112

Chinesische Touristen im Ausland DrostenDoktorarbeit

····· lezzter Preis 68.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Mit über 135 Millionen internationalen Grenzübertritten im Jahr 2016 übertrifft der Reisemarkt China alle Hochrechnungen. China ist Reiseweltmeister und chinesische Touristen sind rund um den Globus ein nicht mehr wegzudenkender Bestandteil fast jeder bedeutenden aReisedestination. Zudem hat sich der chinesische Reisemarkt gegenüber früher stark verändert. Es sind nicht mehr die kameraschwingenden Reisegruppen, die das Bild der chinesischen Touristen im Ausland prägen. Immer mehr ist der chinesische Auslandstourismus auch Ausdruck individueller Freiheiten einer sich formierenden, facettenreichen urbanen Wohlstandsgesellschaft. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt diesen Wandel unter die Lupe. Auf der Grundlage qualitativer Interviews mit Reisenden und Vertretern der Tourismuswirtschaft analysiert der Autor die Entwicklungsstadien des chinesischen Auslandstourismus, die Strukturen der aktuellen chinesischen Tourismuswirtschaft und wagt Prognosen für deren Zukunft. Nicht zuletzt konzentriert sich das Buch auf die touristische Nachfrageseite. Es zeigt die Rückkopplungseffekte zwischen dem Reiseverhalten chinesischer Auslandstouristen und aktuellen Prozessen innerhalb der chinesischen Gesellschaft auf und bietet den Auslandstouristen eine Bühne, von ihren Wünschen und Hoffnungen, aber auch von Zwängen, denen sie unterliegen, zu berichten.

Modelling pile capacity & load-settlement behaviour from CPT data

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This work involves the presentation of new approach attempted to predict the axial capacity and load-settlement behaviour of piles embedded in sand and mixed soils. Two artificial intelligence techniques including Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used in the approach. The work begins with the definitions of the two techniques and explanation of their terminology and the theories which each of them is based on. The work also comprises extensive literature review of the proposed procedures for evaluating pile capacity and load settlement behaviour. The application of the artificial intelligence in the work begins with the use of the GEP for modelling the pile capacity. The modelling involves data collection, selection of input variables, data division, determination of setting parameters and GEP model selection and model formulation and validation. Two models are developed, a model for bored piles and two others for driven piles. In the second phase of this work, the artificial neural network utilised for modelling the load-settlement behaviour of the piles. ····· 1036120638

El presente libro recoge los datos, los métodos, los tratamientos, los resultados, las discusiones y las reflexiones de una investigación basada, fundamentalmente, en el estudio de las respuestas naturales (hidrodinámicas, hidroquímicas, isotópicas y a partir de trazadores artificiales) de los principales puntos de descarga de siete sistemas acuíferos carbonáticos distribuidos por la geografía andaluza (Sur de España). El estudio se ha abordado desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, global e integradora, que permita conocer los factores que más intervienen en el mayor o menor desarrollo de la karstificación funcional de los acuíferos de esta región de Europa. Además se ha intentado establecer una serie de parámetros característicos del funcionamiento hidrogeológico de los sistemas, que permitan hacer una clasificación de los acuíferos carbonáticos a escala regional, que podría servir de referencia no sólo desde un punto de vista científico, sino también en términos de planificación hidrológica o de gestión de recursos hídricos. ····· 10361116627

Water: Ecological Disasters And Sustainable Development

In sub-Saharan Africa, the issue of sustainable development is now particularly of great concern as many countries in this region struggle to achieve a reasonable level of social and economic development and industrialization. Many countries in Africa have to do these while contending with various ecological problems and disasters arising from the forces of nature. In these nations, human factors, in combination with the natural conditions of climate and geology are affecting water quality even when these countries do not have the kind of industries that flourish in the developed countries where industrial waste and pollutants from them can threaten the quality of water available for human consumption, and other purposes. Human activities, have induced or accelerated many changes in the environment while cases of catchment mismanagement have accelerated water quality changes in many West African lakes and river systems. Professor B. C. Egboka and Dr. B. I. Odoh, in putting together the present book on water and ecological problems, related disasters arising from them, and how all these relate to the important issue of sustainable development,have proffered workable solutions. ····· 10361146329

Desarrollo de un modelo simplificado de dispersión atmosférica

····· lezzter Preis 80.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Este trabajo presenta el modelo Híbrido de Trayectorias Lagrangianas y Dispersión Atmosférica en Alta Resolución (modelo HIRHYLTAD, por sus siglas en ingles), basado en una adaptación del modelo gaussiano. HIRHYLTAD utiliza las clases de estabilidad de Pasquill, los coeficientes de dispersión de Pasquill-Gifford, y la parametrización de Briggs para determinar la altura efectiva inicial de la pluma. Dicho modelo se aplicó a un estudio de plumas de humo generadas por quemas de pastizales en el delta del río Paraná (Argentina), durante el año 2008. Se emplearon pronósticos meteorológicos obtenidos a partir del modelo Eta/SMN y del Modelo de Capa Límite en Mesoescala (MCLM), los cuales fueron acoplados al modelo HIRHYLTAD para realizar simulaciones de plumas de humo. Se utilizaron imágenes de alta resolución MODIS correspondientes a los satélites AQUA y TERRA, para la selección de eventos y para la posterior validación de pronósticos de plumas de humo. La validación se llevó a cabo mediante la definición de índices de error que comparan la distribución espacial de las plumas observadas y pronosticadas, en términos de área y dirección media de propagación. ····· 1036122702
