Learn to diagnose the Florida landscape. A physician and Master Naturalist shows how to identify past events that have influenced today’s environments. With photos, maps, and case studies, you’ll understand the health of Florida’s ecosystems like never before.
In the 1970s, new technology was needed to build on Arctic ice. This book relates the human history and technical innovations developed, moving beyond lab studies to detail the testing, construction and use of ice in real conditions for designers, educators, and students.
Rigid Body as a Constrained System
This book presents the dynamics of spinning bodies, the most confusing topic in Classical Mechanics. Starting from the variational problem, it treats the rigid body as a system of particles, creating a simple, transparent approach that eliminates the need for extra postulates.
This book highlights a new area in laser ablation in liquid, focusing on pseudo-line tension and the cavitation bubble. It theoretically reproduces the bubble’s dynamics and offers insights into its role in nanoparticle growth and its effect on the liquid’s thermal properties.
The Transformation of Addis Ababa
Written by Ethiopian and Finnish experts in urban planning, architecture, geography, and ethnology, this publication documents for the first time Addis Ababa’s process of radical transformation, and asks how the city’s poorest residents are affected by urban renewal.
This book compares dynamic mathematical models to solve problems of impact and shock. Its methodologies help determine the life-resource of large constructions, simulate dynamic contact processes, and design new composite materials. For scientists, students, and engineers.
This book is a comprehensive overview of clay science, covering the characterization and application of clay minerals. Explore applications in pharmaceuticals, wastewater treatment, construction, and agriculture. An important reference for researchers, scientists, and engineers.
Information Visualisation
This volume reviews information visualisation, the art of transforming complex data into clear visuals. It explores techniques from medieval origins to modern 2D/3D rendering and evaluation methods, with examples from history, art, and science.
