Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management
This is the first volume of the five-volume book seriesEngineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management dealing with the following topics: types and management of environmental deterioration, particularly pollution; environmental toxicology as a versatile tool in monitoring and risk management; risk assessment of chemical substances and c
Long-Term Performance of Permeable Reactive Barriers
While extensive research has been performed on many technological aspects of permeable reactive barriers and a number of contaminants have so far been successfully treated by PRB systems, long-term performance has not been extensively considered and little is known about the processes influencing long-term behaviour. This gap in our knowledge is all the more disadvantageous as design life has a decisive influence on the economic viability of PRBs. The book describes methods for evaluation and enhancement of the long-term performance of PRB systems, especially of those targeting heavy metals, specifically uranium, and organic contaminants by sorption and/or precipitation mechanisms. Major top...
Permeable Reactive Barrier
Remediation of groundwater is complex and often challenging. But the cost of pump and treat technology, coupled with the dismal results achieved, has paved the way for newer, better technologies to be developed. Among these techniques is permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technology, which allows groundwater to pass through a buried porous barrier that either captures the contaminants or breaks them down. And although this approach is gaining popularity, there are few references available on the subject. Until now. Permeable Reactive Barrier: Sustainable Groundwater Remediation brings together the information required to plan, design/model, and apply a successful, cost-effective, and sustainab...
Environmental Health in the 21st Century [2 volumes]
This concisely written and easy-to-read resource provides information on emerging issues and valuable historical context that enables students to better understand a broad range of environmental health topics, from pollution to infectious diseases, natural disasters, and waste management. As technology enables better insight into the world we live in, we are increasingly aware of environmental health concerns and risks, from contaminated air and water to infectious diseases and light and noise pollution. Because the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our environment, everyone should be informed about issues in environmental health. Environmental Health in the 21st Century: From A...
HDPE Geomembranes in Geotechnics
High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes are widely used for liners and sealings in geotechnical engineering. Common applications include lining of ponds, dams and dykes, landfill underliners and cover systems, remediation of contaminated sites, waterproofing for tunnels, and beneath highways. This handbook covers all aspects of the field: basic materials, geomembrane manufacture, textured geomembranes, long-term performance and testing, installation and welding of geomembranes, quality assurance and control, leak detection, standards, recommendations and regulations.
Twenty-Five Sides of a Post-Communist Mafia State
The twenty-five essays accompany, illustrate and underpin the conceptual framework elaborated in Post-Communist Mafia State, published in conjunction with this volume. Leading specialists analyze the manifestations of the current political regime in Hungary from twenty-five angles. Topics discussed include the ideology, constitutional issues, social policy, the judiciary, foreign relations, nationalism, media, memory politics, corruption, civil society, education, culture and so on. Beyond the basic features of the economy the domains of taxation, banking system, energy policies and the agriculture are treated in dedicated studies. The essays are based on detailed empirical investigation about conditions in today?s Hungary. They nevertheless contribute to the exploration of the characteristic features of post-communist authoritarian regimes, shared by an increasing number of countries in Europe and Central Asia.ÿ Joint publication with Noran Libro, Budapestÿ ÿ
Water Sustainability
This newly updated Water Sustainability volume of the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology (ESST) takes a holistic view of full water cycle and integrates the water themes into sustainability science and technology. With the increasing pressures of population growth, water scarcity, flooding, water pollution, climate impacts and competition of water uses among municipal, agricultural, industrial sectors and ecosystem, there is a growing trend in promoting Integrated Water Management and “One Water” concept worldwide. This reference volume covers multi-disciplinary sustainability topics from the perspective of integrated water management, which includes drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, reclaimed water and groundwater. It also spans cross-cutting themes of the water-energy-food nexus, showing how all of these sectors are inextricably linked. Water Sustainability is a comprehensive resource for a broad audience of scientists and engineers, researchers and practitioners, and decision makers whose objective is to advance sustainable water management.
Magyar polip 2
Orbán Viktor, Magyarország miniszterelnöke, legutóbbi tusványosi beszédében leszámolt a liberális demokráciával. De minek tekinthető a helyébe lépő rendszer, ha nem akarjuk elfogadni a hivatalos ideológia „centrális erőtér” – vagy „Nemzeti Együttműködés Rendszere” – típusú megnevezéseit? Az ideológiai tanácstalanságban, zűrzavarban a 2013 novemberében megjelent tanulmánykötet, a Magyar polip – A posztkommunista maffiaállam sietett az olvasók segítségére. A mai Magyarország hatalmi–társadalmi viszonyait új fogalmi keretben, megvilágító erővel leíró mű nem véletlenül fogyott el több mint 12 ezer példányban. Az idén októberb...
Ne vígy minket a kísértésbe
„Bűnözünk mindannyian, de csak kevesen állítjuk azzal egy időben, hogy szent életet élünk.” (Tőkés László egy rajongója) „Hogy képviselhet, védhet valaki méltóképpen bármiféle közösséget, közösségünk bármiféle ügyét, aki a hozzá legközelebb állóval ily módon viselkedik.” (Tempfli József nagyváradi megyéspüspök Tőkés Lászlóhoz írt leveléből) „Két esetben történt meg, hogy Pestről hazafelé utazva cigarettázott, és én megkértem, ne tegye, mert terhesen hányingerem volt a füsttől. Megállította a kocsit, felszólított, hogy menjek autóstoppal, mert ez a KREK szolgálati autója, ahol nem én parancsolok.” (Tőkés Lászlóné Joó Edith) „A magyarság szemete vagy.” (Tőkés László Tőkés Lászlóné Joó Edithnek)
