Book Synopsis Hazardous Seas by : Louise K. Comfort
Download or read book Hazardous Seas written by Louise K. Comfort and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsunamis are infrequent but terrifying hazards for coastal communities. Difficult to predict, they materialize with little warning, claiming thousands of lives and causing billions of dollars in damage. Now a groundbreaking new approach to tsunami detection and warning developed by an international team of researchers that relies on low-cost underwater sensors and networks of smartphone communication gives at-risk coastal communities an economically viable, scientifically sound means to protect themselves. Hazardous Seas, edited by disaster preparedness experts Louise K. Comfort and Harkunti P. Rahayu, is an invaluable guide for policy makers and international NGOs looking to save lives from tsunamis and mitigate crippling damage to communities. It also provides a comprehensive overview of tsunami detection and warning for students of engineering, computer science, planning, policy, and economic and environmental analysis.

Book Synopsis Design Of Coastal Hazard Mitigation Alternatives For Rising Seas by : David Basco
Download or read book Design Of Coastal Hazard Mitigation Alternatives For Rising Seas written by David Basco and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 1031 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book is about how to design alternatives to reduce coastal flood and wave damage, erosion, and loss of ecosystems facing an unknown future of sea level rise. The latest theories are interlaced with applied examples from the authors' 48 years of experience in teaching, research, and as a practicing, professional engineer in coastal engineering. The design process takes into consideration all the design constraints (scientific, engineering, economic, environmental, social/political/institutional, aesthetic, and media) to meet today's client needs, expectations, and budgets for an uncertain future.The book is organized as a textbook for graduate students. And, it is a self-contained reference for government and consulting engineers responsible for finding solutions to coastal hazards facing the world's coastal populations. New solutions are included in the book that help people of all socio-economic levels living at the coast. Both risk reduction metrics quantified in monetary terms, and increased resilience metrics quantified as vulnerability reduction must now be taken into consideration to make equitable design decisions on hazard mitigation alternatives.In the Anthropocene Era, under 'deep uncertainty' in global mean sea level predictions for the future, today's designs must mitigate today's storm damages, and be adaptable for the unpredictable water levels and storms of the future. This book includes a design 'philosophy' for water levels to year 2050 and for the long term from 2050 to 2100. Multiple spreadsheets are provided and organized to aid the design process.This is an exciting time to be 'thinkers' as Civil/Coastal engineers.Related Link(s)

Book Synopsis African Yearbook of International Law by : A. A. Yusuf
Download or read book African Yearbook of International Law written by A. A. Yusuf and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1994-05-27 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "African Yearbook of International Law" provides an intellectual forum for the systematic analysis and scientific dissection of issues of international law as they apply to Africa, as well as Africa's contribution to the progressive development of international law. It contributes to the promotion, acceptance of and respect for the principles of international law, as well as to the encouragement of the teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciations of international law in Africa. A clear articulation of Africa's views on the various aspects of international law based on the present realities of the continent as well as on Africa's civilization, culture, philosophy and history will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding among nations. The "African Yearbook of International Law" plays an important role in examining the tensions underlying the State in Africa, and by shedding more light on the causes of the fragility of African State institutions so as to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedies. The tension and interrelationships among issues such as territorial integrity, self determination, ethnic diversity and nation-building are constantly addressed. Development, human rights and democratization in Africa are also the subject of continuous attention and examination. The structure of the first two volumes - consisting of a special theme, individual articles, notes and comments, book reviews and basic documents - will be reflected to the extent possible in future volumes, but will also be constantly improved with the addition of new features and areas of study. The "African Yearbook of International Law" will attract more contributions in the futurefrom African international lawyers currently teaching or practising in Africa. Most of those who have toiled to make the first volume a reality are now working outside the continent. They are, however, all determined to see to it that this intellectual forum will serve first and foremost the teachers and practitioners of international law in Africa.

Download or read book Vortex Engine written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Vortex Engine The idea of a vortex engine, also known as an atmospheric vortex engine (AVE), was separately conceived by both Norman Louat and Louis M. Michaud. Its primary objective is to replace the use of enormous physical chimneys with a smaller, less costly structure that generates a vortex of air. The AVE is responsible for inducing ground-level vorticity, which ultimately leads to the formation of a vortex that is analogous to a naturally occurring landspout or waterspout. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Vortex engine Chapter 2: Engine Chapter 3: Jet engine Chapter 4: Turbine Chapter 5: Power station Chapter 6: Solar updraft tower Chapter 7: Mesocyclone Chapter 8: Brayton cycle Chapter 9: Solar thermal energy Chapter 10: Solar thermal collector Chapter 11: Energy tower (downdraft) Chapter 12: Index of meteorology articles Chapter 13: List of energy resources Chapter 14: Airborne wind energy Chapter 15: Engine efficiency Chapter 16: Unconventional wind turbines Chapter 17: Energy tower (disambiguation) Chapter 18: Atmospheric convection Chapter 19: Fan (machine) Chapter 20: Secondary flow Chapter 21: Glossary of meteorology (II) Answering the public top questions about vortex engine. (III) Real world examples for the usage of vortex engine in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of vortex engine' technologies.

Download or read book Tsunami Hazard written by E.N. Bernard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1991-04-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourteenth International Tsunami Symposium held from 31 July to 3 August 1989 in Novosibirsk, U.S.S.R., was sponsored by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics. Sixty-five scientists from 13 countries met to exchange information on recent advances in tsunami research. The Symposium was a great success due to the enthusiasm of the participants, the quality of research presented, and the great organization provided by the Soviet hosts. Teams of dedicated workers, under the fine leadership of Academician A. S. Alexseev and Dr V. K. Gusiakov, blended social and scientific activities in a memorable fashion. The 62 presentations of the Symposium were divided into six areas of research: generation (7), propagation (12), coastal effects (10), observations (11), seismics and tectonics (10), and hazard mitigation (12). A summary of the research presented appears as the first article in this special issue. Following the Symposium, a team of session chairmen nominated 20 of these oral presentations to be published in a special issue devoted to the International Tsunami Symposium.
