Geodetic and geophysical observations in Antarctica : An overview in the IPY perspective
This book is a collection of papers on various aspects of the scientific investigation and observation techniques of the polar regions at both temporary and permanent observatories. Most papers focus on regional models based on data acquired in polar regions. Geodetic satellite positions systems (GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO) will also be discussed as well as other space techniques (DORIS, VLBI). Gravimetry, absolute gravimetry, and tidal gravimetry are also discussed, as well as seismology and meteorology.
Ecology of Tidal Freshwater Swamps of the Southeastern United States
This book draws together the latest findings from investigators focusing on the hydrological processes, community organization, and stress physiology of freshwater, tidally influenced land-margin forests of the southeastern United States. It describes the land use history that led to the restricted distribution of these wetlands, and provides descriptions of the hydrology, soils, biogeochemistry, and physiological ecology of these systems, highlighting the similarities shared among tidal freshwater forested wetlands.
Mathematical Methods for Mechanics : A Handbook with MATLAB Experiments
The interaction between mathematics and mechanics is a never ending source of new developments. Today, challenging problems like space flight, gyroscope motions and tidal currents, can be studied on a laptop, feats that people still in the 1950’s dreamed of accomplishing. The present textbook addresses such problems and moreover, a wide-ranging spectrum of topics from bifurcation theory, optimization and control to rigid-body motion and continuum mechanics of elastic bodies and fluids. It fully encompasses the provision of mathematical tools up to their technical application. Because verifiability is a main element of science and numerical mathematics remain lackluster without demonstrations, a portion of the book is dedicated purely to computations.
Advances in Renewable Energy and Sustainable Environment : Select Proceedings of NCRESE 2019
comprises the select peer-reviewed proceedings of the National Conference on Renewable Energy and Sustainable Environment (NCRESE) 2019. brings together the latest developments in harvesting, storing and optimizing alternate and renewable energy resources. It covers latest developments in green energy technologies as well as smart grids, and their applications towards a sustainable environment. can be useful for beginners, academicians, entrepreneurs, and professionals interested in renewable energy technologies and sustainable environment practices.
