Resource Recovery, Confinement, and Remediation of Environmental Hazards
The papers in this volume arose out of two workshops entitled 'Confinement and Remediation of Environmental Hazards,' and 'Resource Recovery,' as part of the IMA 1999-2000 program year. These workshops brought together mathematicians, engineers and scientists to summarize recent theoretical, computational, and experimental advances in the theory of phenomena in porous media. The first workshop focused on the mathematical problems which arise in groundwater transport of contamination, and the spreading, confinement and remediation of biological, chemical and radioactive waste. In the second conference, the processes underlying petroleum recovery and the geological time scale of deformation, f...
Carbonate Microfabrics
Carbonate Microfabrics is the first attempt to bring together in one reference the application of microfabric analysis to the solution of problems in the fields of geology, geophysics and geotechnique. This book, the result of a symposium and workshop on carbonate microfabrics, explores the relationship of microfabrics to fundamental properties and processes in carbonates. Carbonate Microfabrics will be of particular interest to geologists and is intended to be of general interest to researchers in such related fields as geochemistry, geophysics, and geotechnique.
The Chaos Avant-garde
This book is an authoritative and unique reference for the history of chaos theory, told by the pioneers themselves. It also provides an excellent historical introduction to the concepts. There are eleven contributions, and six of them are published here for the first time OCo two by Steve Smale, three by Yoshisuke Ueda, and one each by Ralph Abraham, Edward Lorenz, Christian Mira, Floris Takens, T Y Li and James A Yorke, and Otto E Rossler. Contents: On How I Got Started in Dynamical Systems 1959OCo1962 (S Smale); Finding a Horseshoe on the Beaches of Rio (S Smale); Strange Attractors and the Origin of Chaos (Y Ueda); My Encounter with Chaos (Y Ueda); Reflections on the Origin of the Broken-Egg Chaotic Attractor (Y Ueda); The Chaos Revolution: A Personal View (R Abraham); The Butterfly Effect (E Lorenz); I Gumowski and a Toulouse Research Group in the OC PrehistoricOCO Times of Chaotic Dynamics (C Mira); The Turbulence Paper of D Ruelle & F Takens (F Takens); Exploring Chaos on an Interval (T Y Li & J A Yorke); Chaos, Hyperchaos and the Double-Perspective (O E RAssler). Readership: Educators and university students of science and mathematics."
Proceedings of the 48th Industrial Waste Conference Purdue University, May 1993
Known and used throughout the world, the Purdue Industrial Waste Conference Proceedings books are the most highly regarded in the waste treatment field. New research, case histories, and operating data cover every conceivable facet of today's big problems in environmental control, treatment, regulation, and compliance. This volume representing the proceedings from the 48th conference provides unparalled information and data for your current waste problems.
Flatheads and Spooneys
Since the early 1800s, people have made a living fishing and harvesting mussels in the lower Ohio Valley. These river folk are conscious of an occupational and social identity separate from those who earn their living from the land. Sustained by a shared love of the river, deriving joy from the beauty of their chosen environment, and feeling great pride in their ability to subsist on its wild resources and to master the skills required to make a living from it, many still identify with the nomadic houseboat-dwelling subculture that flourished on the river from the early nineteenth century to the 1950s. Today's community of fisherfolk is small and economically marginal, but their activities s...
