A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Desalination

A Multidisciplinary Introduction to Desalination

Although more than 70% of the globe is covered with water only a small portion is suitable for direct human use making the scarcity of freshwater one of our plant's most serious challenges. In this context desalination defined as the removal of salt from water is one of the possible solutions for overcoming our planet's municipal and industrial thirst. By drawing upon the authoritative expertise of a remarkable team of international authors this book aims to provide an encompassing and multidisciplinary introduction to various aspects of desalination. The forte of this publication is that it does not overtly focus on a particular sub-topic of desalination but rather addresses the topic as a whole. In other words the unique assortment of reader-friendly chapters is designed to strike a delicate balance between the technical and non-technical. The book is divided into five general sections:The first section presents an overview of water scarcity followed by a review of integrated water management and the alternatives to desalination. The fundamentals of desalination are provided including simple water chemistry;The second section covers the conventional technologies of today including thermal and membrane desalination processes. The topics of pre- and post- treatment are given due credit as no desalination plant can operate without them;The third section reviews the history of how desalination technologies originated including a review of today's R&D activities and cutting edge research. The processes and engineering applied for membrane manufacturing are also presented;Section four is concerned with energy and environmental issues including the application of renewable and nuclear energy minimization of energy usage and the water-energy-nexus brine management and environmental impacts;Finally section five covers the social and commercial issues ranging from rural desalination to the politics of desalination. Desalination costs and feasibility are presented as well as issues in business development and the future market prospects.

Energy Resilient Buildings and Communities A Practical Guide

Energy Resilient Buildings and Communities A Practical Guide

This book is written as a practical guide to those interested in the pursuit of energy resilience at a local scale. Energy resilience is defined as the relative ability of an institution to carry out its mission during a shock to the energy system and approach the concept on the level of a single site occupied by a single community or institution. Examples are drawn from four key community types: military bases healthcare campuses educational campuses and municipal governments. The book then describes a framework for developing an energy resilience plan that applies to each. While the focus is clearly on the United States understanding the energy resilience threat and conducting long-range energy resilience planning will benefit communities all over the globe. Divided into three main parts Part One describes the specific energy security threats that are facing local institutions and communities and how an energy shock can affect the mission at each of the four community types and the advantages that each will enjoy in their pursuit of energy resilience. Part Two provides concrete guidance for pursuing energy resilience at a particular institution and allows managers to assess where their institution lies on the energy resilience spectrum and plot a course toward where they would like to be. Part Three describes the three main areas of energy resilience performance: energy efficiency on-site generation and emergency planning.

Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez

Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez

Qanat is a gently sloping subterranean canal which taps a water-bearing zone at a higher elevation than cultivated lands. A qanat consist of a series of vertical shafts in sloping ground interconnected at the bottom by a tunnel with a gradient flatter than that of the ground. From the air this system looks like a line of anthills leading from the foothills across the desert to the greenery of an irrigated settlement. Qanat engages a variety of knowledge and its studying entails an interdisciplinary approach. In a traditional realm qanats are embraced by a socio-economic system which guarantees their sustainability. The facets of this socio-economic system operate closely together and make it possible for the qanats to remain into future. Veins of the Desert shows that digging a qanat requires a variety of sciences and technologies though at a glance qanat is just a horizontal tunnel which drains out groundwater. Qanat is a feat of technology left from our ancestors; hidden underground but its technical importance is apparent not less valuable than such surface structures as bridges castles towers etc. Qanat enjoys extended structures and sometimes its length reaches tens of kilometers. It passes through geological formations and faces different conditions and obstacles so the qanat masters' efforts to solve these problems led to the accumulation of knowledge in terms of qanat construction over time which has been handed down from generation to generation. Qanat is one of the most complicated traditional technologies which require knowledge on nature ranging from groundwater to management. This indigenous technology used to bring water efficiently from tens of kilometers away to the thirsty lands. This book also gives insight into cultural and social heritages which have crystalized around this technique. | Veins of the Desert A Review on Qanat / Falaj / Karez

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Many scientific and real-world problems that occur in science engineering and medicine can be represented in differential equations. There is a vital role for differential equations in studying the behavior of different types of real-world problems. Thus it becomes crucial to know the existence and uniqueness properties of differential equations and various methods of finding differential equation solutions in explicit form. It is also essential to know different kinds of differential equations in terms of eigenvalues termed eigenvalue problems and some special functions used in finding the solution to differential equations. The study of nonlinear problems also plays a significant role in different real-world situations. There is a necessity to know the behavior of solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Still there are very few forms of differential equations whose solution can be found in explicit form. For the differential equations whose solutions cannot be found in explicit form one has to study the properties of solutions of the given differential equation to guess an approximate solution of it. This book aims to introduce all the necessary topics of differential equations in one book so that laymen can easily understand the subject and apply it in their research areas. The novel approach used in this book is the introduction of different analytical methods for finding the solution of differential equations with sufficient theorems corollaries and examples and the geometrical interpretations in each topic. This textbook is intended to study the theory and methods of finding the explicit solutions to differential equations wherever possible and in the absence of finding explicit solutions it is intended to study the properties of solutions to the given differential equations. This book is based on syllabi of the theory of differential equations prescribed for postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics in different institutions and universities of India and abroad. This book will be helpful for competitive examinations as well. | Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture or Enterprise Information security architecture as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006 has been applied to many things and different areas making a concrete definition of security architecture a difficult proposition. But having an architecture for the cyber security needs of an organization is important for many reasons not least because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a much easier job since we can now build on a hopefully solid foundation. Developing a security architecture is a daunting job for almost anyone and in a company that has not had a cyber security program implemented before the job becomes even harder. The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in place cannot be overstated! The challenge here is that a security architecture is not something that can stand alone it absolutely must be aligned with the business in which it is being implemented. This book emphasizes the importance and the benefits of having a security architecture in place. The book will be aligned with most of the sub-frameworks in the general framework called SABSA or Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture. SABSA is comprised of several individual frameworks and there are several certifications that you can take in SABSA. Aside from getting a validation of your skills SABSA as a framework focuses on aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its strategy. Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with one or more of the components in SABSA the components will be described along with the introduction to each of the chapters. | Security Architecture – How & Why
