It is widely recognized that the degree of development of a science is given by the transition from a mainly descriptive stage to a more quantitative stage. In this transition, qualitative interpretations (conceptual models) are complemented with quantification (numerical models, both, deterministic and stochastic). This has been the main task of mathematical geoscientists during the last forty years - to establish new frontiers and new challenges in the study and understanding of the natural world. Mathematics of Planet Earth comprises the proceedings of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences Conference (IAMG2013), held in Madrid from September 2-6, 2013. The Conference addresses researchers, professionals and students. The proceedings contain more than 150 original contributions and give a multidisciplinary vision of mathematical geosciences.
What influences our perception of Beauty? From poetic lines describing the beauty of a moment that is never returning back, to fighting against societal evils like colourism – the concept of Beauty is forever an enigma – a topic of wide interest. "Aesthetics" is a book that showcases one hundred different Writers' take on Beauty - in the form of poems, open letters, short stories and microtales. This Anthology, initiated by Split Poetry India and compiled by Maria K Jimmy, is an attempt to paint the concept of Beauty in a whole new light. Internal or external – Beauty can never be measured using words, But it can be expressed, It can be poetically described.
The oil and gas sector is a vital player in the energy transition. With their vast resource potential, unconventional shale plays will be an essential part in enabling this change. Unconventional Resources serves as a comprehensive reference covering the latest technologies, methodologies, and applications of unconventional shale resources in the oil and gas industry, and their role in the evolution of the sector's energy transition. This book: Offers an overview of geophysics, geology, and reservoir characterization in unconventional resources Discusses drilling, well stimulation and completion, production engineering, and artificial lift Covers reservoir management and surveillance, recove...
What do you do when you hear of an interesting brand or person? You Google them, visit their website and their social media platforms. It's their storytelling that draws you in, but what locks you down are the stories being told about the brand. In today's hyperconnected and hypercompetitive world, each new brand is vying for the same space on your screens and the brand with the most persuasive and authentic storytelling wins. A decade ago brands relied on mainstream media and celebrities to endorse them, but now each brand needs a sound strategy that involves traditional media, social media, influencers, micro-influencers, celebrities across all strata, and offline and online communities. S...
Apply machine and deep learning to solve some of the challenges in the oil and gas industry. The book begins with a brief discussion of the oil and gas exploration and production life cycle in the context of data flow through the different stages of industry operations. This leads to a survey of some interesting problems, which are good candidates for applying machine and deep learning approaches. The initial chapters provide a primer on the Python programming language used for implementing the algorithms; this is followed by an overview of supervised and unsupervised machine learning concepts. The authors provide industry examples using open source data sets along with practical explanation...
The India Migration Report 2017 examines forced migration caused by political conflicts, climate change, disasters (natural and man-made) and development projects. India accounts for large numbers of internally displaced people in the world. Apart from conflicts and disasters, over the years development projects (including urban redevelopment and beautification), often justified as serving the interests of the people and for public good, have caused massive displacements in different parts of the country, disrupting the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. The interdisciplinary essays presented here combine a rich mix of research methods and include in-depth case studies on aspects of development-induced displacement affecting diverse groups such as peasants, religious and ethnic minorities, the poor in urban and rural areas, and women, leading to their exclusion and marginalization. The struggles and protests movements of the displaced groups across regions and their outcomes are also assessed. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of development studies, economics, sociology and social anthropology and migration studies.
Industrial wastewater can contain many toxic pollutants as well as varying concentrations of organic and inorganic matter. These pollutants can be carcinogenic, mutagenic, or hardly biodegradable, which could cause serious human health risks and also affect other aquatic and terrestrial biota as well. Biological treatment techniques for industrial wastewater, including aerobic and anaerobic digestion, are known to be environmentally friendly, clean, and generally superior to other physicochemical techniques. Aerobic and Anaerobic Microbial Treatment of Industrial Wastewater presents the latest information on multiple bioremediation treatment techniques; summarizes the sources, occurrence, and removal of industrial pollutants; and suggests the most appropriate treatment options for different scenarios. Describes the biochemistry of pollutant removal by aerobic and anaerobic digestion. Highlights emerging pollutants as well as resource recovery techniques from contaminated industrial wastewater. Emphasizes the role of both conventional and innovative novel technologies in aerobic and anaerobic microbial bioremediation of pollutants originated from industrial wastewater.
