 Wind and Wildlife: Proceedings from the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife Impacts, October 2012, Melbourne, Australia by Cindy Hull English | PDF | 2015 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 9401794898 | 4.4 MB This book gathers papers presented and discussions held at the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife Impacts in Melbourne, Australia on 9th October 2012. The purpose of the conference was to bring together researchers, industry, consultants, regulators and Non-Government Organizations to share the results of studies into wind farm and wildlife investigations in Australia and New Zealand.  Wildlife Ecotoxicology: Forensic Approaches by John E. Elliott English | PDF | 2011 | 476 Pages | ISBN : 0387894314 | 12.1 MB Many books have now been published in the broad field of environmental toxicology. However, to date, none of have presented the often fascinating stories of the wildlife science, and the steps along the way from discovery of problems caused by environmental pollutants to the regulatory and non-regulatory efforts to address the problems.  Who Governs?: Legislatures, Bureaucracies, or Markets? by John H. Wood English | PDF | 2020 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 3030330826 | 3 MB When we start to perceive that there is a problem in the market (such as monopoly, fraud or speculation), the legislature passes a law to correct it, a bureaucracy is created to interpret and enforce the new law, firms and other market participants comply, and the problem is solved. But is it? Are politicians' promises and textbooks' stories to be believed?  Ways Out of the Climate Catastrophe: Ingredients for a Sustainable Energy and Climate Policy English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030851311 | 257 Pages | PDF EPUB | 3 MB Floods, species extinction, migration, droughts, super tornadoes - climate change is no longer a threat looming on the horizon but has long since become part of our everyday lives. Limiting the emerging and worsening climate changes is one of the most important challenges of our time.  Water Cycle Management: A New Paradigm of Wastewater Reuse and Safety Control by Xiaochang C. Wang English | EPUB | 2015 | 108 Pages | ISBN : 3662458209 | 2.1 MB This book focuses on environmental engineering, and on wastewater treatment and reuse in particular, which is a vital aspect for countries and regions suffering from water shortages. It introduces a new water cycle management concept for designing water systems that mimic the hydrological cycle, where reclaimed water is produced, stored/regulated, supplied and used in a semi-natural manner so that its self-purification capacity and system efficiency can be maximized.  Volatility: Practical Options Theory English | 2018 | ISBN: 111950161X | 210 Pages | PDF | 3 MB The main challenges in successful options trading are conceptual, not mathematical. Volatility: Practical Options Theory provides financial professionals, academics, students and others with an intuitive as well as technical understanding of both the basic and advanced ideas in options theory to a level that facilitates practical options trading. The approach taken in this book will prove particularly valuable to options traders and other practitioners tasked with making pricing and risk management decisions in an environment where time constraints mean that simplicity and intuition are of greater value than mathematical formalism.  Virtual Reality in Manual Order Picking: Using Head-Mounted Devices for Planning and Training English | 2021 | ISBN: 3658347031 | 237 Pages | PDF EPUB | 34 MB The introduction of consumer-level head-mounted devices (HMDs) has led to a major drop in the application costs of virtual reality (VR), making the technology available for a wide range of users. To understand if VR HMDs can be used for planning and training in the context of manual order picking, this thesis provides the results of a large-scale randomized controlled study in which order picking has been compared between a virtual and a real environment. The results imply that VR HMDs can indeed be used by manufacturers and warehouse operators in a rack planning process if the reduction of searching times or the perceived workload is in focus. Additionally, the findings enable the use of VR HMDs for scientific research on human-centred rack design. Finally, the thesis highlights the usability of VR HMDs for training manual order picking activities.  Utah's Air Quality Issues : Problems and Solutions by Hal Crimmel English | 2020 | ISBN: 160781708X | 301 Pages | PDF | 10 MB  Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace in the Day the World Stopped English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811648875 | 202 Pages | PDF | 8 MB 'Urban Health, Sustainability, and Peace' is the first book that attempts to put these three critical areas together. This novelty approaches the subject matter by delving into evaluating what works, what does not work, and what should be done to achieve healthy cities. We believe this book will be beneficial to a wide range of stakeholders, particularly policymakers, planners, and developers, who continuously shape and reshape the structure and environments of our cities and communities. Unfortunately, in most cases, the healthiness of the cities may not be of their immediate concern. Nevertheless, it is the concern of the end-users, citizens, or simply those who live and work in cities and communities worldwide. To safeguard peace in cities, one has to consider sustaining urban health; and that is the main aim of this book.
 Unlocking Social Theory with Popular Culture: Remixing Theoretical Influencers English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030770109 | 215 Pages | PDF EPUB | 7 MB This book demonstrates how pop culture examples can be used to demystify complex social theory. It provides tangible, metaphorical examples that shows how it is possible to "do philosophy" rather than subscribe to a theorist by showing that each theorist intersects and overlaps with others. |
