 Spatial Modeling and Assessment of Environmental Contaminants: Risk Assessment and Remediation by Pravat Kumar Shit English | EPUB | 2021 | 718 Pages | ISBN : 3030634213 | 114.9 MB This book demonstrates the measurement, monitoring and mapping of environmental contaminants in soil & sediment, surface & groundwater and atmosphere. This book explores state-of-art techniques based on methodological and modeling in modern geospatial techniques specifically focusing on the recent trends in data mining techniques and robust modeling.  Solar-Terrestrial Environmental Prediction English | 2023 | ISBN: 981197764X | 799 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 163 MB Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems-communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space. Such variations in the space environment, which can influence human activities, are called "space weather." The space weather disaster caused by a solar explosion is a potential risk in modern society. To reduce and mitigate space weather impacts, it is essential to understand the structure and dynamics of the solar-terrestrial environment and to predict the variations.  Soil and Water Conservation Structures Design English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811986649 | 724 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 47 MB The book is designed to serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate courses on soil and water conservation engineering for students of agricultural engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering and related disciplines. The book presents the basics of soil and water erosion, and describes the measures to control erosion, focusing on structures to prevent and control erosion. The chapters dedicated to erosion control structures provide a detailed view of each structural construction, covering the function, design and elements of each type of structure. Some common type of structures covered in the book are terrace, bunds, vegetated waterways, and gully control structures, including spillways. The book also covers wind erosion and control structures to prevent wind erosion. Each chapter includes pedagogical elements such as examples, practice questions, and multiple-choice-type questions to improve understanding and aid in self-study. Besides serving as a textbook university coursework, the book can also serve as a supplementary or primary text for professional development courses practicing engineers engaged in soil and water conservation or watershed management. The book will also serve as a reference for professionals, environmental consultants, and policy makers engaged in soil and water conservation related fields.
 Software Requirements Essentials : Core Practices for Successful Business Analysis (Rough Cut) by Karl Wiegers and Candase Hokanson English | 2023 | ISBN: 9780138190286 | 132 Pages | ePUB/MOBI (True) | 16.4 MB  Soft Computing for Smart Environments: Techniques and Applications English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032413530 | 281 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB This book applies both industrial engineering and computational intelligence to demonstrate intelligent machines that solve real-world problems in various smart environments. It presents fundamental concepts and the latest advances in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and their application to smart environments. Though managers and engineers often use multi-criteria analysis in making complex decisions, many core problems are too difficult to model mathematically or have simply not yet been modeled.
 Mojca Ramšak, "Social Impact of Wine Marketing: The Challenge of Digital Technologies to Regulation " English | ISBN: 3030892263 | 2022 | 130 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book is inspired by the term "digiwine," a neologism referring to the production and/or marketing of wine through the use of new technologies and robotics such as vineyard information systems, sensor units, weather stations, drones, robotic harvesters, social media videos, digital labels, and wine apps. The alcohol industry is using these technologies to develop digital strategies and online tools for more efficient sales of wine. This book analyzes the use of digital alcohol marketing, the reasons for it, the role of regulation, and its social impact. In particular, malignant forms of alcohol marketing to youth are precisely described through exact case descriptions from the global milieu. The author questions whether the loopholes in the legislation or inefficiency of self-regulation have negative consequences that can no longer be prevented by public health care programs.
 Social Aspects Of Sexual Boundary Trouble In Psychoanalysis: Responses to the Work of Muriel Dimen By Charles Levin (editor) 2020 | 262 Pages | ISBN: 0367483785 | PDF | 7 MB Inspired by the clinical and ethical contributions of Muriel Dimen, Social Aspects of Sexual Boundary Trouble goes beyond the established consensus that sexual boundary violations (SBV) constitute a serious breach of professional ethics, in order to explore the cultural and historical implications of their chronic persistence. In Rotten Apples and Ambivalence, her last major publication, Dimen (2016) maintained that "the phenomenon of sexual transgression between analyst and patient . . . is insufficiently addressed so long as it is only deemed psychological." In responding to and developing Dimen's argument, the distinguished contributors to this volume bring the discussion of SBV to a new level of ethical rigor and depth, challenging the psychoanalytic profession to go beyond its codified complacency. This collection shatters normative professional guidelines by focusing on the complicity and hypocrisy of professional groups, while at the same time raising the taboo subject of the ordinary practicing clinician's unconscious professional ambivalence and potentially "rogue" sexual subjectivity. Social Aspects of Sexual Boundary Trouble uncovers the roots of SBV in the institutional origins and history of psychoanalysis as a profession. Exploring Dimen's concept of the psychoanalytic "primal crime," which is in some ways constitutive of the profession, and the inherently unstable nature of interpersonal and professional "boundaries," Social Aspects of Sexual Boundary Trouble breaks new ground in the continuing struggle of psychoanalysis to reconcile itself with its liminal social status and its origins as a subversive, morally ambiguous practice. It will be highly relevant to specialists in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, critical theory, feminist studies and social thought.  Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science by Chan, Bertram K. C.; English | 2023 | ISBN: 3527346651 | 671 pages | True PDF | 6.28 MB  Short Circuit: Electronic Monitoring and the Crisis of the Brazilian Prison System English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031218582 | 280 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB Drawing upon both ethnographic research and genealogical analysis, this book represents the first in-depth scientific analysis of criminal offenders' electronic monitoring (EM) in Latin America's largest country. It focuses on three empirical axes: 1) the implementation of EM policies against the backdrop of Brazil's collapsing carceral system; 2) the discourses and rationalities which undergird the deployment of EM; and 3) the effects of EM upon convicts moving back and forth between penal institutions and urban spaces governed by armed militias, criminal gangs, and abusive police forces.
