Remediation of Petroleum Contaminated Soils - Eve Riser Roberts - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Remediation of Petroleum Contaminated Soils - Eve Riser Roberts - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as well as an extensive overview of the physical and chemical processes currently available for treating petroleum-contaminated soils. Critical information has been collected and assembled under one cover to provide a convenient reference for anyone who must contend with this worldwide problem. Remediation of Petroleum Contaminated Soils: Biological, Physical, and Chemical Processes describes how to optimize the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil-water systems. It reports on the susceptibility of various petroleum components to biodegradation by microorganisms, and considers all groups of microorganisms for their potential contributions. The book also deals with problem areas such as the transport of organisms, oxygen, or nutrients throughout the subsurface, as well as biodegradation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). In addition, the book presents a variety of methods for monitoring bioremediation. This reference discusses current soil remediation processes and includes many innovative approaches. It also investigates means of controlling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and leachate, and addresses methods for collecting and treating these secondary waste streams. The expansive coverage of this book will furnish readers with a wide range of options for developing treatment strategies and for customizing procedures for specific requirements.

Pro Bash Programming, Second Edition - Mark Mcdonnell - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Pro Bash Programming, Second Edition - Mark Mcdonnell - Bog - APress - Plusbog.dk

Pro Bash Programming teaches you how to effectively utilize the Bash shell in your programming. The Bash shell is a complete programming language, not merely a glue to combine external Linux commands. By taking full advantage of Shell internals, Shell programs can perform as snappily as utilities written in C or other compiled languages. And you will see how, without assuming Unix lore, you can write professional Bash 4.3 programs through standard programming techniques. This second edition has updated for Bash 4.3, and many scripts have been rewritten to make them more idiomatically Bash, taking better advantage of features specific to Bash. It is easy to read, understand, and will teach you how to get to grips with Bash programming without drowning you in pages and pages of syntax. Using this book you will be able to use the shell efficiently, make scripts run faster using expansion and external commands, and understand how to overcome many common mistakes that cause scripts to fail. This book is perfect for all beginning Linux and Unix system administrators who want to be in full control of their systems, and really get to grips with Bash programming.

Redemptus ab hostibus - Andrea Rodeghiero - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Redemptus ab hostibus - Andrea Rodeghiero - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

La ricerca è suddivisa in due parti: nella prima si discute della condizione giuridica in cui versa il cittadino romano riscattato dal nemico ( civis redemptus ab hostibus ), il quale, in base alle opinioni dei giuristi classici e ai rescritti imperiali, risulta assoggettato al potere del riscattante (qualificato in termini di diritto di pegno) fino alla restituzione del prezzo pagato per il riscatto; nella seconda si discute della condizione giuridica in cui versa lo schiavo riscattato dal nemico ( servus redemptus ab hostibus ), la cui proprietà spetta al riscattante, invece che all’antico padrone, secondo una costituzione imperiale di incerta datazione (la cd. constitutio de redemptis ).

The Chinese Communist Party in Action - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Chinese Communist Party in Action - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Much is written about China and the role of the Chinese Communist Party, but without exploring in detail the nature of the party and how it operates. This book provides an in-depth assessment of the current state of the Chinese Communist Party. It outlines the huge size of the party – 88 million members with 4.3 million organizations at the grassroots level. It sets out how the party has developed over time, how the party is organized and how its ideology is formed and transmitted. It discusses how the party acts in the different areas of China’s economy, society and government, at local, regional and national levels. It explores the party’s role in the formation of policy, including foreign policy, and assesses the impact of different factions and of the current anti-corruption campaign. Overall, the book demonstrates how embedded the Communist Party is in all aspects of Chinese economy, society and politics, and how its position continues to be consolidated.

The Island of World Peace - Gwisook Gwon - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Island of World Peace - Gwisook Gwon - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the history of the Jeju massacre (1947-1954), the deadest recognized civilian massacre in modern South Korean history, through the lens of state building in South Korea. Jeju-based sociologist Gwisook Gwon examines the massacre on Jeju Island in relation to the birth of anti-communist South Korea in the early Cold War, while also focusing on the reintegration of Jeju Islanders into the state through the history of Jeju soldiers in the Korean War (1950-1953) and the history of Jeju women in the economic recovery and modernization between the 1950s and the 1970s. The study of these post-massacre legacies is novel to South Korean history. The book also discusses the on-going reconciliation of the 4.3 historical conflicts and the transformation of Jeju into an “Island of World Peace.” This fresh and original study offers an empirical example of state-building processes at the local level in South Korea from the origin of the state to its democratization. In doing so, it contributes to several fields, including, the Korean War, state violence, conflict resolution studies, gender studies, and Asian and Korean studies.

High-Performance Bolting Technology for Offshore Oil and Natural Gas Operations - National Materials And Manufacturing Board - Bog - National

High-Performance Bolting Technology for Offshore Oil and Natural Gas Operations - National Materials And Manufacturing Board - Bog - National

Commercially significant amounts of crude oil and natural gas lie under the continental shelf of the United States. Advances in locating deposits, and improvements in drilling and recovery technology, have made it technically and economically feasible to extract these resources under harsh conditions. But extracting these offshore petroleum resources involves the possibility, however remote, of oil spills, with resulting damage to the ocean and the coastline ecosystems and risks to life and limb of those performing the extraction. The environmental consequences of an oil spill can be more severe underwater than on land because sea currents can quickly disperse the oil over a large area and, thus, cleanup can be problematic. Bolted connections are an integral feature of deep-water well operations. High-Performance Bolting Technology for Offshore Oil and Natural Gas Operations summarizes strategies for improving the reliability of fasteners used in offshore oil exploration equipment, as well as best practices from other industrial sectors. It focuses on critical bolting—bolts, studs, nuts, and fasteners used on critical connections.
