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.
Groundwater is Africa‘s most precious natural resource, providing reliable water supplies for many people. Further development of groundwater resources is fundamental to increasing access to safe water across the continent to meet coverage targets and reduce poverty. There is also an increasing interest in the use of groundwater for irrigated
These proceedings of the IAMG 2014 conference in New Delhi explore the current state of the art and inform readers about the latest geostatistical and space-based technologies for assessment and management in the contexts of natural resource exploration, environmental pollution, hazards and natural disaster research. The proceedings cover 3D visualization, time-series analysis, environmental geochemistry, numerical solutions in hydrology and hydrogeology, geotechnical engineering, multivariate geostatistics, disaster management, fractal modeling, petroleum exploration, geoinformatics, sedimentary basin analysis, spatiotemporal modeling, digital rock geophysics, advanced mining assessment and...
This book on urban water bodies, catchment areas and drainage pattern is set against the backdrop of the unprecedented heavy rainfall that severely deluged metropolitan cities and other parts of India in recent years. The recurring natural catastrophes in water-stressed cities of India and alarming rate of diminishing water bodies, wetlads and catchment areas needs a re-visit to an entire urban water-cycle. This book, thus, discusses how the processes and implementation of colonial urban development policies and projects have radically transformed the water bodies and their catchment areas – traditional water holding systems of Varanasi city. In this imperative colonial process, through th...
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 659,000 articles from more than 30,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2011, have been catalogued.
Das kompakte Lehrbuch basiert auf einem innovativen Grundkonzept der Lehre von der Straftat. Ausgehend von einem tatbestandsspezifischen Fehlverhalten werden deren Voraussetzungen schrittweise entwickelt. So erhalten auch weitere Sanktionserfordernisse klare Konturen. Das Werk erfasst im Kern den examensrelevanten Stoff der Lehre von der Straftat und ist für eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung und die Examensvorbereitung gleichermaßen geeignet. Besonderer Wert ist auf das Verständnis der sachlichen Probleme gelegt, die in einen nachvollziehbaren systematischen Begründungszusammenhang gestellt sind. Als zusätzliche Hilfestellung dienen hervorgehobene griffige Definitionen, klare Schemata und sorgfältig ausgewählte Fälle. So gerüstet, braucht man sich vor der Fülle des Stoffs im Strafrecht nicht zu fürchten, sondern ist in der Lage, auch bislang unbekannte Probleme in den Griff zu bekommen.
