Environmental Statistics with S-PLUS

Environmental Statistics with S-PLUS

A clear comprehensive treatment of the subject Environmental Statistics with S-PLUS surveys the vast array of statistical methods used to collect and analyze environmental data. The book explains what these methods are how to use them and where to find references to them. In addition it provides insight into what to think about before you collect environmental data how to collect the data and how to make sense of it after collection. A unique and powerful feature of the book is its integration with the commercially available software package S-Plus and the add-on modules EnvironmentalStats for S-PLUS S+SpatialStats and S-PLUS for ArcView. The book presents data sets to explain statistical methods and then shows how to implement these methods by providing the commands for and the results from the software. This survey of statistical methods definitions and concepts helps you collect and effectively analyze data for environmental pollution problems. Using the S-PLUS software in conjunction with this text will no doubt increase understanding of the methods.

Large Turbo-Generators Malfunctions and Symptoms

Large Turbo-Generators Malfunctions and Symptoms

This book presents a comprehensive ordered relationship between malfunctions and symptoms occurring in large turbogenerators. With this book the operator and/or engineer in a generating station could identify underlying causes of a developing component degradation or a failure quicker which could potentially save both time and money and reduce the trial-and-error troubleshooting process. Large turbogenerators are the most important source of electricity. They can be found in thousands of power stations in every country. Forced outages failures and degradation of these very expensive machines have an enormous aggregate cost to society. As such any tool that can ameliorate loss of production by shaving time from troubleshooting activities and avoiding unnecessary costs by detecting and promptly responding to component degradation represents a step forward. | Large Turbo-Generators Malfunctions and Symptoms

Logic of Arithmetic

Logic of Arithmetic

For propositional logic it can be decided whether a formula has a deduction from a finite set of other formulas. This volume begins with a method to decide this for the quantified formulas of those fragments of arithmetic which express the properties of order-plus-successor and of order-plus-addition (Pressburger arithmetic). It makes use of an algorithm eliminating quantifiers which in turn is also applied to obtain consistency proofs for these fragments. | Logic of Arithmetic

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

Structured in the form of a dichotomous key comparable to those widely used in botany the mineral key provides an efficient and systematic approach to identifying rock-forming minerals in thin-section. This unique approach covers 150 plus of the most commonly encountered rock-forming minerals plus a few rarer but noteworthy ones. Illustrated in full colour with 330 plus high quality mineral photomicrographs from a worldwide collection of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks it also provides a comprehensive atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin-section. Commencing with a brief introduction to mineral systems and the properties of minerals in plane-polarised and cross-polarised light the mineral key also includes line drawings tables of mineral properties and an interference colour chart to further aid mineral identification. To minimise the chance of misidentification and enable less experienced petrologists to use the key with confidence the key has been arranged to prioritise those properties that are most easily recognised. Designed for simplicity and ease of use it is primarily aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of mineralogy and petrology but should also provide a valuable source of reference for all practising geologists dealing with rock thin sections and their interpretation. | A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

Underpinning and Retention

Underpinning and Retention

The failure of foundations leads to distortion of building superstructures and a loss of structural integrity. If allowed to continue unchecked this process will lead ultimately to non-serviceability and demolition. The chief and most successful remedial measure is to underpin the structure and restore full or partial structural integrity. Various underpinning methods exist and choosing a particular method or selection of methods is the job of the engineer. Consistent with the underpinning procedure is the need to retain the affected structure plus the surrounding ground and/or buildings. | Underpinning and Retention

The Metabolism of Arsenite

The Metabolism of Arsenite

Up to 200 million people in 70 countries are at risk from drinking water contaminated with arsenic which is a major cause of chronic debilitating illnesses and fatal cancers. Until recently little was known about the mobility of arsenic and how redox transformations determined its movement into or out of water supplies. Although human activities contribute to the release of arsenic from minerals it is now clear that bacteria are responsible for most of the redox transformation of arsenic in the environment. Bacterial oxidation of arsenite (to the less mobile arsenate) has been known since 1918 but it was not until 2000 that a bacterium was shown to gain energy from this process. Since then a wide range of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria have been isolated including aerobes and anaerobes; heterotrophs and autotrophs; thermophiles mesophiles and psychrophiles. This book reviews recent advances in the study of such bacteria. After a section on background—geology and health issues—the main body of the book concerns the cellular machinery of arsenite oxidation. It concludes by examining possible applications. Topics treated are: The geology and cycling of arsenic Arsenic and disease Arsenite oxidation: physiology enzymes genes and gene regulation. Community genomics and functioning and the evolution of arsenite oxidation Microbial arsenite oxidation in bioremediation Biosensors for arsenic in drinking water and industrial effluents | The Metabolism of Arsenite
