INTEGRATED SYSTEMS OF MESO—METEOROLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODELS

This publication has been worked out mostly by the invited speakers and lecturers of the Copenhagen workshop. The content of this volume is mainly focusing on the topics covered in the course of that workshop, summarizing the presentations, discussions that took place at that time, conclusions and also providing valuable technical recommendations.

In fact, this volume is one of the first successful attempts to provide interested readers with a general look on the integrated modeling approach. The publication is expected to be useful to the people with the serious interest in the modeling of the air pollution and meteorology; however, it will also present some practical interest to the persons involved in the meteorology science in any way, for example the students, practicing professionals, scientists and researchers.

The whole content of this document consists of the introduction depicting the methodology of integration, overview of the models and feedback mechanisms, and four big parts. The first part addresses the on-line modeling and feedbacks, while the second part deals with the off-line modeling and interfaces. The third part of the volume is dedicated to the validation and also several real-life case studies. Finally, the fourth and last art of the work is covering the strategy for the ACT-NWP integrated modeling.

HEAT PIPE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY

Nowadays, the heat pipes are deservedly considered one of the best technical solutions available for the passive thermal control, note they are also very friendly to the environment. The present publication comprises a work by the industry expert Bahman Zohuri, who did his best to provide readers with the useful practical study of heat pipe engineering including a very valuable discussion on how the application of the heat pipes could be further optimized and made more efficient.

The book provides a general introduction to the design and operational principles and explores the practical applications of heat pipes. The volume offers the readers a good tech review of mass and heat transfer theory related to the performance and covers the common technical issues that might theoretically affect the successful operation of the heat pipes. Subject matters would generally include balancing of the loads, compatibility of the construction materials, applicable power limitations, thermal resistance issues, rage of the operating temperature, and operating orientation.

 

 

The author has also compared the results of the calculations with the experimental data obtained from numerous sources. He has also provided the explanation to the readers of where and how exactly they could access the computer codes and relevant PC programs to the design and prediction of the performance.

FUNDAMENTALS OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

This book on structural engineering is intended to provide industry with a well-balanced and seamless treatment of the established classic methods of analysis and modern computer-based techniques for the engineering structure design and conceptualizing. The principle goal of the volume is to foster a better understanding of the structural behavior on the basis of the problem-solving experience for the students of various fields of engineering who have exposed to fundamental concepts of mechanics.

While most of the other books on the same subject are mainly focusing in the manual analysis methods and their application to the idealized and simple structure, this one encourages students to duly develop their intuition connected with the structural behavior. The approach applied by the authors of the title will assist in the development of such type of intuition through presentation of the realistic and extensive problems together with the numerous case studies and computer simulation, allowing for the exploration of how the mechanical structures are responding to the changes in their physical parameters of geometry.

The content of the book has been found to be sufficiently comprehensive to be used for the students from elementary to high levels. The chapters have been organized by structural types and feature nine hundred figures and informative graphs.

EUROPEAN SHIP RECYCLING REGULATION

The author of the present book, Urs Daniel Engels, was intending to provide the readers with the results of a very in-depth analysis of the Convention concerning the recycling of ships that was adopted in Hong Kong some time ago, in May 2009. He has also conducted a professional and detailed analysis of the overall status of the existing regulations dealing with same.

The lack of the ratifications of the above mentioned Convention has also been investigated from both economic and legal sides. The first part of the book is mainly focusing on the historical background of the entering into force provisions of this Convention. Taking into account that subject provision is providing a significant additional obstacle for the Convention to become legally binding, the next part of the book was arranged to deal with the unilateral actions in this field.

The author has also provided a brief but comprehensive overview of the legal environment of the existing legislation concerning the ship recycling in Europe. In addition to that, the book also contains the evaluation of numerous reasonable proposals made by the EU with the intention to tackle the real problems of ship recycling of today. The useful paper for people working in this field.
