Innovative Methods for Analyzing and Forecasting World Gas Supply

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Natural gas is an increasingly important source of the world s energy. Estimating future supplies of this valuable commodity is an important economic and strategic endeavor. However, world gas supply forecasting has proved difficult because its exploration, transportation, and customer bases depend so heavily on fluctuating economic factors. Gas production fluctuations from several countries were affected by the relationship between gas and oil industries, economic burdens, and governmental-policy implementations. This work presents innovative approaches for analyzing and forecasting natural gas supply for individual countries and the world. These new methods include the multicyclic modeling, artificial intelligence technology, and time-series analysis. Most industrialized countries are depleting their gas resources much faster than are developing countries. Fuel switching and gas dependence by industrial and commercial sectors and production decline of crude oil in these countries are among the reasons for the high depletion rate. Russia and major Arabian Gulf countries will be major sources of world gas supply representing about 62% of world s future recoverable conventional gas. ····· 10361100689

History and geological evidences show that the rate of occurrence of earthquakes has become a frequently recurring phenomenon all over the world. Bitter experiences left by past earthquakes reveal the importance of terrain evaluation and the influence of soil-structure interaction on the behavior of structures during an earthquake especially in urban environs. A part of Hyderabad city in India with many high rise buildings constructed in different geomorphic / soil regimes is considered for the study. Remote sensing techniques have been aptly employed to evaluate terrain parameters. Earthquake analysis has been carried out to derive the response of similar structures resting on different types of rock or soil media. Significant changes have been observed in response parameters of structures associated with loose soils as compared to those when the same are assumed to be fixed at the base. Terrain evaluation studies provide a needy guideline for preparation of micro-zonation map of any city.

Advanced Image Processing Techniques for Land Feature Classification

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Since the traditional hard classifiers are parametric in nature and expect the data to follow a Gaussian distribution, they perform poorly on high resolution satellite images in which land features and classes exhibit extensive overlapping in spectral space. Further, integrating ancillary data like digital elevation model, slope, texture, contextual information, etc. into spectral bands is difficult in such classifiers, because ancillary data results in a non-Gaussian distribution of the resultant data. Hence, generating a satisfactory classified image from the higher spectral and spatial, and high-dimensional data is one of the present-day challenges in RS data analysis. This thesis is aimed at developing an advanced classification strategy by integrating a non-parametric J4.8 decision tree classification algorithm and a texture based image classification approach on a panchromatic sharpened IRS P-6 LISS-IV (2.5m) imagery. Attempt has also been made to provide answers through empirical studies to some of the dubious issues and contradictory findings in RS image classification with regard to image evaluation metrics, statistical feature selection criteria and border-effect. ····· 1036199887

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Liquid transportation through pipelines is one of the power consuming sectors in the oil and gas industries due to the energy losses during flow. Thus, improving the flow in pipelines has become one of the important and strategic needs in modern industrial applications. The energy losses are mainly attributed to drag. The word (drag) may be defined as the resistance force parallel to the direction of fluid flowing over a solid surface. Drag force may be expressed by two components: skin friction component which is equal to the stream wise component of all shearing stresses over the surface, and pressure drag component, which are equal to the stream wise component of all normal stresses. The present book introduces a new, novel and environmentally friendly drag reducing agent is introduced. The new additive is driven from an agricultural waste which is the cocoa husk. ····· 1036199746

The present work deals with the removal of cadmium from water using lemon peel and green coconut shell powder in batch reactor.Characterization of the biosorbents has been carried out through proximate and ultimate analysis, FTIR, SEM, EDAX etc. The influence of initial cadmium concentration, pH, adsorbent dose, time and temperature on the removal of cadmium has been investigated to find out the optimum process conditions. Analysis of kinetic data shows that the initial adsorption of cadmium is rapid for both the biosorbents, however, equilibrium agitation period is about 5 h for lemon peel and 3 h for green coconut shell powder. The adsorption process for both the biosorbents follows pseudo second order kinetic model. Langmuir isotherm model gives better prediction on adsorption equilibrium than Freundlich isotherm model. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for lemon peel and green coconut shell powder is found to be 11.24 mg/g and 14.49 mg/g respectively. The values of thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb s free energy change ( G°), enthalpy change ( H°) and entropy change ( S°) for these experiments indicate the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the processes. ····· 1036199402

This book is on the use of new media as a source of news in Oromia Mass Media Organization. Particularly it focuses on the opportunities and challenges of using the New media by journalists. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were applied in the study underpinning the book. The result showed that almost all the journalists lack the knowledge to browse information from the Internet. Majority of them have no access to computer or Internet in their media organization. The journalists are far behind the information about events that are taking place worldwide as a result of lack of access to the Internet. Language barrier is also found to be another aspect that contributes to the low level use of new media by journalists. The problem of poor access to Internet is attributed mainly to the poor infrastructure of this media house. Lack of financial resource and less attention to new media sector is also another problem. Therefore, there is a strong need to direct priority to the expansion of new media infrastructure in the media organizations and building the capacity of journalists. ····· 1036199305

The low tensile strength of concrete, attributable to the existence of micro cracks at the aggregate-matrix interface, is responsible for crack formation and crack propagation. Discontinuous, discrete steel fibers of short lengths smaller in diameter have been used to improve the tensile and flexural strength of structural elements subjected to various loading conditions. Although the introduction of fibers into concrete reduces its workability, yet there is a significant improvement in the material behavior. The brittle characteristic of concrete is converted into a ductile one. Use of fibers alters the behavior of the fiber-matrix composite after it has cracked, thereby improving toughness. The goal of the work is to establish new relationships and to verify the available relationships between the various properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC). Linear relationship between the flexural tensile strength and cube compressive strength are proposed for various percentages of fibers. The results indicate that fiber content in the range of 0.5% to 1% provide excellent toughness to normal strength concrete as compared to high strength concrete. ····· 1036199287
