Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Volume 2 of the book ‘Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere’ is sub-titled Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance of Sand Dunes in the Northern Hemisphere. It brings together a vast body of information and insight into sand dune and desert systems from North Asia Central Asia North Africa and the Middle East. Chapters from the Russian Federation include studies on dune systems within the permafrost zone and there is a case study from temperate zone dune system in coastal Japan. Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance of Sand Dunes in the Northern Hemisphere of 16 chapters in three Parts focusses on Saharan Africa Egypt and Middle East and gives attention to sand mobility and encroachment with case studies from a number of countries where these matters are of concern. We also include chapters on the remote dunes in the permafrost zone and in the hyper-arid deserts of Iran. Case studies are used to highlight the characteristics of dunes and their interaction with humans in several widely divergent settings. Volume 2 concludes with some musing on the value of study of the past as key to the future and speculates on what the future might hold in the light of a warmer and drier Earth and a rise in sea level that threaten large tracts of low-lying land with marine incursions and destruction from storm surge. PART 4 Sand Mobility and Encroachment The seven chapters in this Part examine the real-world impact of sand encroachment and dune migration on people and their economic activities and the health welfare and financial implications related to destruction of infrastructure including human habitations. PART 5 Sand Dune Landscapes Distribution Formation and Management Seven Case studies from several geographic regions in Africa the Middle East north-east Asia are presented here to demonstrate the underlying mechanisms in dune formation and the diverse approaches to their management. Human impacts such as sand mining tourism development combine with natural forces like climate variability to challenge the realization of an optimum management strategy. PART 6 Concluding Thoughts: Coping with an Unknown Future from a Little-known Past The two chapters in Part 6 have special roles. We are privileged to publish new research findings that are summarized here in Chapter 38 from extensive and detailed work conducted in the Kyzyl Kum and Karakum sand seas of Central Asia. There is a strong belief that further study of the little-known past such as revealed in this study could unlock clues as to what a future Earth might look like. This leads on to speculation in Chapter 39 about the implications of what we already know about global change (not only climate change) and the impact of the Anthropocene on the dune systems both inland and coastal. Sea level rise marine incursions and an increase in extreme weather events will affect dune systems and sand seas on the Northern Hemisphere (and beyond). | Sand Dunes of the Northern Hemisphere: Distribution Formation Migration and Management Volume 2: Characteristics Dynamics and Provenance

Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

The design of structures in general and prestressed concrete structures in particular requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and in doing so provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel with numerous worked examples. However where the design requirements are code specific this book refers to the provisions of Eurocode 2: Design of Concrete Structures and where possible the notation is the same as in Eurocode 2. A parallel volume is written to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600-2009. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want comprehensive introduction to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition but the content has been extensively re-organised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; connections and detailing; and design concepts for prestressed concrete bridges. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. All the authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for over thirty-five years and the proposed new edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Professor Gilbert active and long-time involvement in the development of standards for concrete buildings and concrete bridges. | Design of Prestressed Concrete to Eurocode 2

Parallel Computers 2 Architecture Programming and Algorithms

Parallel Computers 2 Architecture Programming and Algorithms

Since the publication of the first edition parallel computing technology has gained considerable momentum. A large proportion of this has come from the improvement in VLSI techniques offering one to two orders of magnitude more devices than previously possible. A second contributing factor in the fast development of the subject is commercialization. The supercomputer is no longer restricted to a few well-established research institutions and large companies. A new computer breed combining the architectural advantages of the supercomputer with the advance of VLSI technology is now available at very attractive prices. A pioneering device in this development is the transputer a VLSI processor specifically designed to operate in large concurrent systems. Parallel Computers 2: Architecture Programming and Algorithms reflects the shift in emphasis of parallel computing and tracks the development of supercomputers in the years since the first edition was published. It looks at large-scale parallelism as found in transputer ensembles. This extensively rewritten second edition includes major new sections on the transputer and the OCCAM language. The book contains specific information on the various types of machines available details of computer architecture and technologies and descriptions of programming languages and algorithms. Aimed at an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level this handbook is also useful for research workers machine designers and programmers concerned with parallel computers.
