Book Synopsis A hydrodynamical perspective on the turbulent transport of bacteria in rivers by : Krayer, Michael Werner Tobias
Download or read book A hydrodynamical perspective on the turbulent transport of bacteria in rivers written by Krayer, Michael Werner Tobias and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transport of bacteria in turbulent river-like environments is addressed, where bacterial populations are frequently encountered attached to solids. This transport mode is investigated by studying the transient settling of heavy particles in turbulent channel flows featuring sediment beds. A numerical method is used to fully resolve turbulence and finite-size particles, which enables the assessment of the complex interplay between flow structures, suspended solids and river sediment.
Book Synopsis Up Ghost River by : Edmund Metatawabin
Download or read book Up Ghost River written by Edmund Metatawabin and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful, raw yet eloquent memoir from a residential school survivor and former First Nations Chief, Up Ghost River is a necessary step toward our collective healing. In the 1950s, 7-year-old Edmund Metatawabin was separated from his family and placed in one of Canada’s worst residential schools. St. Anne’s, in northern Ontario, is an institution now notorious for the range of punishments that staff and teachers inflicted on students. Even as Metatawabin built the trappings of a successful life—wife, kids, career—he was tormented by horrific memories. Fuelled by alcohol, the trauma from his past caught up with him, and his family and work lives imploded. In seeking healing, Metatawabin travelled to southern Alberta. There he learned from elders, participated in native cultural training workshops that emphasize the holistic approach to personhood at the heart of Cree culture, and finally faced his alcoholism and PTSD. Metatawabin has since worked tirelessly to expose the wrongdoings of St. Anne’s, culminating in a recent court case demanding that the school records be released to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Now Metatawabin’s mission is to help the next generation of residential school survivors. His story is part of the indigenous resurgence that is happening across Canada and worldwide: after years of oppression, he and others are healing themselves by rediscovering their culture and sharing their knowledge. Coming full circle, Metatawabin’s haunting and brave narrative offers profound lessons on the importance of bearing witness, and the ability to become whole once again.

Download or read book Under Five Flags written by S. Afsheen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the progress of an Émigré family of Iranian ancestry from ancient times of the royal family of Nadir Shah of Iran via Ashraf Afshar, through many generations, against the larger historical backdrop of the societies and cultures in which they lived. Jacob J Ross (FRSL), a reader from Literary Consultancy comments, “This book has clearly been an enormous undertaking, covering as it does much of the seminal events that shaped the twentieth century as well as the origins of the State of Iran (from 1835 onwards) and the emergence of this country as a major focus in the global, geopolitical and ideological debates of the present century. On top of all this, he has layered his own personal history. ... overall, he has succeeded in writing a book that is often times insightful, at times funny and for me, quite elucidating.” The author, Shahrukh, shows how significant happenings around the world affected and wrapped each decade of his life. The 19th century was described as an age of progress. With the help of the telegraph, railway, and steamships, boosting trade, the Europeans imperial ambitions reach its heights of development. Cultural, artistic and political changes emerged that fundamentally modify the way they thought about the world and their place in it. Shahrukh, born in the 1930s in Burma, grew up in a close-knit conservative community, living a life of luxury in mansion houses with servants and nannies in attendance. Then an abrupt convulsion ruptures the serenity of their scene; the Second World War erupts, and seemingly the world implodes around them. Having lost everything they leave Rangoon, fleeing from village to village in pursuit of preserving life, like Nomads, not in search for new pastures, but trying to escape from the British and Japanese bombs, local bandits, and succumbing to disease and death in the jungles of Burma. Many survive by selling their precious heirlooms and jewellery. After the wreckage of war in Burma, they arrive in Calcutta in December of 1945. Shahrukh is eight years old. The authors exploration of the political dynamics that led to the partition of India and Pakistan gives a deeper understanding, not only the 'creation' of Pakistan but the religious and ideological ideas that underpinned its formation. It therefore helps give a better appreciation of the present situation prevailing in that country. In India, Shahrukh and family witness the gruesome communal riots and killings between the Hindus and Muslims. The Great Calcutta Killing, started on 16 August 1946, a day of widespread riot and manslaughter in the city. The force and ferocity of this fury in Calcutta leads to the massacre of about three thousand people within twenty-four hours, with bodies strewn uncounted in the bamboo thickets; vultures fed off them. Starvation threatened to add to the crisis faced by hospitals. At Grammar School he is taught Latin but not Urdu, the local language. He is taught Shakespeare, which he masters, but not Allama Iqbal, the national poet. Their heroes are Nelson and western movie stars. He narrates about the aim of school in trying to produce replicas of English public schoolboys. After completing his Senior Cambridge Exams, Shahrukh gets admitted to D. J. Science College, part of Karachi University. For his Bachelor degree he takes Maths and Physics as his major subjects. In his final year at the college, the Principal appoints Shahrukh as President of the College Student Council. He takes this enterprise very seriously and is determined to make it succeed. After much debate and discussion, a budget is drawn up and finalised; it is printed and displayed on the main notice board. Each programme of the year proceeds with clockwork precision. This is accomplished for the first time in the history of the college; Shahrukh exclaims, “It was worth all the tears, sweat and toil”. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States play

Download or read book River Dynamics written by Bruce L. Rhoads and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.
