Modeling and Mitigation Measures for Managing Extreme Hydrometeorological Events Under a Warming Climate
Modeling and Mitigation Measures for Managing Extreme Hydrometeorological Events Under a Warming Climate explores the most recent computational tools, modeling frameworks, and critical data analysis measures for managing extreme climate events. Extreme climate events—primarily floods and droughts—have had major consequences in terms of loss of life and property around the world. Managing extreme occurrences, reducing their effects, and establishing adaptation strategies requires significant policy and planning improvements. This practical guide explores the latest research literature, recent advanced modeling approaches, and fundamental ideas and concepts to provide a variety of solutions for managing extreme events. - Discusses the impacts of climate change on the management of water resources - Provides flood and drought adaptation measures and strategies - Covers the latest research carried out in the modeling of extreme hydrometeorological variables
Urban Health
Urban Health: A Global Perspective, Fifteenth Edition outlines the problems, issues, and solutions to health in urban areas on a global scale. The book focuses on several issues which impact the health of cities, such as the environment, pollution, climate change, ecology, social equity, health inequalities, and health problems. In addition, it covers several empirical studies which explain economic, political, and the social issues influencing health in urban areas. Pandemics and sustainable development will also be discussed. - Provides global case studies on the issues of urban health and air quality - Emphasizes the importance of health and sustainability from environmental pollution and climate change - Discusses principles from medical professionals and researchers on health in urban areas
Arsenic Remediation of Food and Water
The book provides information on the sources of arsenic contamination of groundwater and their impacts in the first part of the book consisting of 8 chapters. Process developments such as nano-adsorbents for removal of arsenic and other heavy metals are discussed in the second part of the book that comprises of 4 chapters. The third part of the book includes 4 chapters on technological interventions for the removal of arsenic such as indigenous ceramic membranes and Subterranean Arsenic Removal (SAR). The fourth part of the book deals with arsenic contamination in food materials and food chain systems, and consists of 5 chapters. Arsenic has long been associated with a variety of health complications in the human body. In order to address this, a chapter on arsenic contamination and impacts on human health has been included in the fifth part of the book. The book would be a valuable reference material for the scientific community in developing countries working on community water supply and treatment, food safety, public health and policy.
Remediation and Health Risks of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils
Soil is the essential foundation for human survival. However, soil pollution and environmental problems have become increasingly evident in recent years. In particular, heavy metal pollution at various sites poses a serious threat to human health and ecological safety, becoming a significant social issue worldwide. Greener and environmentally friendly remediation technologies, coupled with accurate evaluation of the potential risks, environmental impact, and human health of heavy metals in the soil have become urgently required. This Research Topic aims to gather the latest advancements in scientific research and applicable studies on (i) the potential risk or impact of recently problematic heavy metals (such as Sb, TI) and cases of combined heavy metal pollution; (ii) pollution formation, migration, and remediation of heavy metal in soil and groundwater; (iii) novel methods to treat and reduce heavy metals in contaminated sites; (iv) environmentally friendly remediation technology (such as enhanced bioremediation and in-situ remediation); and (v) assessment or modeling of the environmental or human health impact of heavy metals.
Water Resources Monitoring, Management, and Sustainability
Water Resources Monitoring, Management, and Sustainability: Application of Geostatistics and Geospatial Modeling, Volume 16, a new volume in the Developments in Environmental Science series, introduces a variety of advanced modeling techniques like changing climate and land use/land cover, hydrological models, and machine learning approaches. These techniques are applied to address water resources and environmental monitoring, as well as planning and sustainable management of water resources. Further, the book discusses how to manage water resources at various local, regional, and international levels while incorporating environmental considerations. Finally, it delves into cutting-edge tech...
Climate Adaptation and Resilience Across Scales
Climate Adaptation and Resilience Across Scales provides professionals with guidance on adapting the built environment to a changing climate. This edited volume brings together practitioners and researchers to discuss climate-related resilience from the building to the city scale. This book highlights North American cases that deal with issues such as climate projections, public health, adaptive capacity of vulnerable populations, and design interventions for floodplains, making the content applicable to many locations around the world. The contributors in this book discuss topics ranging from how built environment professionals respond to a changing climate, to how the building stock may need to adapt to climate change, to how resilience is currently being addressed in the design, construction, and operations communities. The purpose of this book is to provide a better understanding of climate change impacts, vulnerability, and resilience across scales of the built environment. Architects, urban designers, planners, landscape architects, and engineers will find this a useful resource for adapting buildings and cities to a changing climate.
Digital Technologies by Empowered Sustainable Electrical Energy Development
The increasing pressure from energy and environmental protection has made the research for sustainable electrical energy urgent. The integration of high-proportion renewable energy resources offers significant achievements for decreased carbon emissions and increased economic costs. This calls for new concepts of modelling, monitoring, planning, optimization, control, etc. Due to the complexity of electrical energy systems (EES), it is challenging to design effective and smart solutions. The emerging digital technologies may provide promising solutions owing to the successful development of artificial intelligence, blockchain, edge computing, 5g/6g, etc. Moreover, digital technologies facilitate the integration of cyber and physical systems, which further benefits the intelligent detection, coordination, and management of EESs. There are many challenges that require further research and development on policy, architecture, modelling, planning, operation, optimization, and control for sustainable EESs.
From Physics to Control Through an Emergent View
The book is a compilation of selected papers from the conference on Physics and Control 2009, presenting a unified perspective underlying the thematics and strategies related to the control of physical systems with emerging applications in physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and other natural sciences. The selected papers reflect the state-of-the-art of the more advanced theoretical and practical studies in the field of control of complex systems. The contributions provide a comprehensive view on some selected topics of particular importance at the disciplinary borderline between Physics and Control.
Divine Dharma Save-Seed
I am on a mission to explain to the world the real fact that the human brain is NOT his mind, rather his seed's DNA is his mind (more specifically, the blue strand of the DNA spiral). Human brain is merely an evolved form of rRNA of the zygote, which processes the mRNA and tRNA wirelessly. Like the CPU of the computer, brain is a non-codon processing organ, which processes the genetic codes of the seed's DNA (mind) through a wireless nerve system called "Sushumna-Ada-Pingla". To know the wireless processing of the seed genetics in the brain, read this book. Unless seeds are saved, brain cannot produce any significant outcome. If the seeds are saved, then all the thoughts of the seed's mind come true naturally. Understand, follow and share Save-Seed awareness to make the world a heaven.
