Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Low-level river crossings including culverts are important for delivering a range of valuable socioeconomic services including transportation and hydrological control. These structures are also known to have negative impacts on freshwater river system morphology and ecology including the blockage of upstream fish passage particularly small-body-mass fish species. Given the enormous environmental problems created by road crossings new hydraulic engineering guidelines are proposed for fish-friendly multi-cell box culvert designs. The focus of these guidelines is on smooth box culverts without appurtenance with a novel approach based upon three basic concepts: (I) the culvert design is optimized for fish passage for small to medium water discharges and for flood capacity for larger discharges (II) low-velocity zones are provided along the wetted perimeter in the culvert barrel and quantified in terms of a fraction of the wetted flow area where the local longitudinal velocity is less than a characteristic fish speed linked to swimming performances of targeted fish species and (III) the culvert barrel is smooth without any other form of boundary treatment and appurtenance. The present monograph develops a number of practical considerations in particular relevant to box culvert operations for less-than-design discharges. It is argued that upstream fish passage capabilities would imply a revised approach to maintenance in part linked to the targeted fish species. This reference work is authored for civil and environmental engineers as well as biology and ecology scientists interested in culvert design. While the book is aimed to professionals the material is also lectured in postgraduate courses and in professional short courses. | Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry

Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System: An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry details the lessons learned from a real-world project focusing on building an ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch and then having it officially certified. It is a practical guide to building or improving your existing QMS with tried and tested solutions. The book takes a hands-on approach–first teaching the top 25 lessons to know before starting to develop a QMS and then walking you through the process of writing the quality manual and the standard operating procedures training the staff on the QMS organizing an internal audit executing a management review and finally passing the necessary external audits and obtaining certification. It helps you to progress from one task to the next and provides all the essential information to accomplish each task as quickly and efficiently as possible. It does not attempt to replicate the standard but instead drills into the standard to expose the core of each section of the standard and reorganize its contents into a practical workflow for developing maintaining and improving a Lean QMS. The book includes a wealth of real-world experience both from the author's personal dive into quality management and from the experiences of other companies in the field and provides handy checklists for ensuring key documents and processes are fit for use–the emphasis here is to help ensure you have considered all relevant aspects. In addition the book is not intended as a “cheat sheet” for the standard or as a review of the standard that only adds lengthy commentary on each of the clauses. Instead the book fixes easy misunderstandings regarding QMS provides insight into why the various clauses are written the way they are and provides a great base to both understanding ISO 13485 QMS and developing your own QMS. The book is intended to serve both experts and novices audiences–it provides special insight on the most crucial and effective aspects of QMS. | Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry
