The scholarly theme of the book lends itself to the discipline of earth and atmospheric sciences, with a specific focus on water-climate studies. The book is a scholarly discourse by researchers in the natural sciences, including Hydrologists, Climate Scientists, Environmental Engineers and Water Scientists. The purpose of the book is to address the limited complementarity between the water and climate studies; which is crucial in promoting scientific research that informs policy decisions and implementation of water security plans. The chapters were selected to represent water-climate models and policy research conducted in different river basins in the arid and semi-arid environments. Therefore, the water-climate management tools highlighted in this book include General Circulation Models (GCMs), Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), Africa Flood and Drought Monitor (AFDM), Extreme Precipitation Events (EPEs), R ClimDex, Mixed strategy game models, Standard Precipitation Indices (SPIs), Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP), Penman Calculator, and Saturated Volume Fluctuation (SVF).
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This new compendium volume examines the significant impact of air quality on human health. Assessing air pollution in complex morphologies has become an important issue in order to implement mitigation measures and limit emissions from the most relevant sources, such as waste incineration, traffic emissions, emissions from fuel and electricity production, and household emissions. These pollutants result in adverse health effects, material damage, damage to ecosystems, and global climate change. The book looks at these issues and is divided into several sections, covering air pollution and where we came from and where we’re headed waste ...
The illustrations in this book are created by “Team Educohack”. Mathematics for Real Applications bridges the gap between theoretical math and real-world scenarios, making complex concepts accessible to senior secondary students. Covering a wide range of topics, we present practical applications of geometry, mensuration, trigonometric functions, probability, statistics, quadratic equations, complex numbers, and three-dimensional geometry. Our first chapter delves into Euclidean geometry, lines and angles, and their properties, followed by practical applications. We then explore mensuration, including various types of quadrilaterals, circles, and three-dimensional shapes. In trigonometry,...
Our handbook addresses the urgent issue of air pollution, its control, and the engineering solutions available. This step-by-step guide takes readers through the major environmental crisis we face today, transforming how we perceive the atmosphere and the air we breathe. We delve into the havoc caused by air pollutants and harmful emissions, highlighting their impact on the ozone layer and subsequent harmful effects. Detailed explanations cover all sources of air pollutants and their results, aiming to educate the general public, scientists, analysts, and environmentalists. This book outlines various methodologies and techniques to tackle air pollution, detailing air pollution control systems and identifying the most damaging toxic air pollutants. We also explore the potential health hazards to humans and vegetation, providing a thorough study of how air pollution affects human anatomy and the associated diseases. The clean air is a fundamental right for all, crucial for human survival. Future generations will bear the consequences if we do not address this anomaly adequately. It's a race against time, and together, we must win it.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students, researchers and practitioners in all of the social and language-related sciences carefully selected book-length publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications. It approaches the study of language in society in its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches, theoretical and empirical, supplement and complement each other. The series invites the attention of linguists, language teachers of all interests, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, historians etc. to the development of the sociology of language.
Idasa's Democracy Index - initially developed for South Africa - is being expanded into Southern Africa in an effort to broaden the capacity of individuals and organisations monitoring and supporting democratic governance efforts in the region. This inaugural Democracy Index for Namibia is intended to set a benchmark for democracy to be measured against. The tool assesses the country's depth of democracy through five focus areas: participation, elections, accountability, political rights, and human dignity. The research relies on expert analysis to answer a set of questions that interrogate how closely, in practice, democracy meets the broad ideal of self-representative government. More spec...
Principles of Water Quality Control is the definitive student text in its field for 25 years, this new edition takes an environmental perspective that is highly relevant in the context of current public policy debates. New material also includes EU regulations and changes in the UK water industry since privatisation. The latest technological developments are also taken into account. As before, the book is intended for undergraduate courses in civil engineering and the environmental sciences, and as preliminary reading for postgraduate courses in public health engineering and water resources technology. It will also be a vital text for post-experience training and professional development, in particular for students preparing for the examinations of the Institute of Water Pollution Control and the Institution of Public Health Engineers. - 25 Years worth of students can't be wrong - International relevance - Long established Pergamon title
