Future of Sustainable Agriculture in Saline Environments
Food production on present and future saline soils deserves the world’s attention particularly because food security is a pressing issue, millions of hectares of degraded soils are available worldwide, freshwater is becoming increasingly scarce, and the global sea-level rise threatens food production in fertile coastal lowlands. Future of Sustainable Agriculture in Saline Environments aims to showcase the global potential of saline agriculture. The book covers the essential topics, such as policy and awareness, soil management, future crops, and genetic developments, all supplemented by case studies that show how this knowledge has been applied. It offers an overview of current research th...
Concepts in Urban Transportation Planning
This book offers solutions for creating sustainable urban transportation. Topics include historical developments, planning, policy and legislative initiatives, nonmotorized and public transportation, environmental and social justice issues, and safety. The author discusses social, health and economic consequences of autocentric transportation and possible policy measures to address them. The important topic of changing travel behavior is discussed. Chapters contain straightforward concepts, case studies, review questions and ideas for class projects. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
Tot de bodem
De vurige debatten rond de stikstofproblematiek, de droogte, het biodiversiteitsverlies, de seizoensarbeid en de overmatige vleesproductie en -consumptie hebben landbouw weer helemaal op de maatschappelijke en politieke agenda gezet. De vraag dringt zich stilaan op of we in Vlaanderen en Europa effectief nog op een duurzame en economisch rendabele manier aan landbouw kunnen doen en hoe die landbouw dan vorm moet krijgen. Het huidige debat is echter sterk polariserend: landbouw versus ecologie, vermarkting versus subsistentie, schaalvergroting versus familiebedrijven, comparatieve voordelen en specialisatie versus diversiteit, enzovoort. Polariserende discussies brengen helaas zelden antwoord...
Большая книга воды: От капли росы до водопровода и разрушительных цунами
Перед тобой — настоящая познавательная и очень современная энциклопедия, которая расскажет о таком важном для нашей жизни ресурсе, как вода. Ведь вода — это не просто пруд недалеко от дома, летний дождь или чашка чая, которую ты пьешь с утра. Жизнь на нашей планете произошла из воды, и сейчас вода продолжает влиять на нас, климат и даже на ход истории. Поэтому так интересно разобрат...
Highway Heat
It has started out as a normal day in the desert. The expected high for today is supposed to be 96 degrees fahrenheit. Brynn Dorlauer is taking her daily commute on the freeway to Tucson. She could feel nothing but excitement for her cousins wedding. Little does she know her life is about to take a wrong turn. A change she would never imagining happening to her.
Proximal Soil Sensing
This book reports on developments in Proximal Soil Sensing (PSS) and high resolution digital soil mapping. PSS has become a multidisciplinary area of study that aims to develop field-based techniques for collecting information on the soil from close by, or within, the soil. Amongst others, PSS involves the use of optical, geophysical, electrochemical, mathematical and statistical methods. This volume, suitable for undergraduate course material and postgraduate research, brings together ideas and examples from those developing and using proximal sensors and high resolution digital soil maps for applications such as precision agriculture, soil contamination, archaeology, peri-urban design and ...
Observation and Measurement of Ecohydrological Processes
This volume will discuss the state of the art of different observation and measurement techniques useful for ecohydrological studies. The techniques cover the entire spectrum of the water-soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. And the other volumes are "Water and Ecosystems", "Water-Limited Environments" and "Integrated Ecohydrological Modeling" etc.
Reservoir Computing
This book is the first comprehensive book about reservoir computing (RC). RC is a powerful and broadly applicable computational framework based on recurrent neural networks. Its advantages lie in small training data set requirements, fast training, inherent memory and high flexibility for various hardware implementations. It originated from computational neuroscience and machine learning but has, in recent years, spread dramatically, and has been introduced into a wide variety of fields, including complex systems science, physics, material science, biological science, quantum machine learning, optical communication systems, and robotics. Reviewing the current state of the art and providing a...
