This book deals in a concise format with the methods used to develop mathematical models for water and wastewater treatment. It provides a systematic approach to mass balances, transport and transformation processes, kinetics, stoichiometry, reactor hydraulics, residence time distribution, heterogeneous systems, and dynamic behaviour of reactors. In addition it includes an introduction into parameter identification, error analysis, error propagation, process control, time series analysis, stochastic modelling and probabilistic design. Written as a textbook it primarily supports graduate and doctoral students in environmental engineering but may serve as a resource for academics and practitioners alike.

"When I look at the contents and tutorials, I feel incredibly excited for the artists starting today. I would have killed for this information and tool set when I was getting started". Phil Captain 3D McNally, animator, stereoscopic supervisor "An inspiration for any C4D user who wants to create compelling graphical elements and abstract 3D designs. The color presentation and the wealth of additional content and training videos on the DVD are impressive. this one will stay on my desk". Chris Meyer, co-author Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects "I heartily recommend this book to anyone wanting to increase their knowledge of CINEMA 4D 10 and the modules that come with it. The DVD has enough extra tutorial content for another entire book". Nigel Doyle, 3DKiwi, c4dcafe.com "Readers will not only learn how to realize their ideas in the smartest, quickest ways possible, they will...

Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. Pulsar rotation rates can reach incredible speeds, up to hundreds of times per second. The story of how an object ‘spins up’ to a significant fraction of the speed of light is fascinating and involves collapsing stellar cores following supernova explosions, while the faster ones result from stellar cannibalism. In this book, Geoff McNamara explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy. The story of pulsars is brought right up to date with the announcement in 2006 of a new breed of pulsar, Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), which emit short bursts of radio signals separated by long pauses. These may outnumber conventional radio pulsars by a ratio of four to one. Geoff McNamara ends by pointing out that, despite the enormous success of pulsar research in the second half of the twentieth century, the real...

Reflecting training and experience in both Eastern and Western medicine, this reference uses a scientific perspective to shed light on the teaching and practices of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In addition to examining the TCM approach to wellness and disease, the resource compares TCM to conventional Western approaches and shows the optimal way to integrate the two disciplines. A user-friendly survey includes a look into the meaning of liver fire, hot qi, and wet heat; offers advice on common complaints, among them how to avoid having bronchitis every winter, how to become asthma-free, and finding relief from back pain without drugs; provides answers to infertility that won’t break the bank; and addresses appropriate food choices for the individual.

Tender Branson, the last surviving member of the Creedish death cult, has commandeered a Boeing 747, emptied of passengers, in order to tell his story to the plane's black box before it crashes. Brought up by the repressive cult and, like all Creedish younger sons, hired out as a domestic servant, Tender finds himself suddenly famous when his fellow cult members all commit suicide. As media messiah he ascends to the very top of the freak-show heap before finally and apocalyptically spiralling out of control. Формат: 13 см х 19,5 см.

"VHDL-2008: Just the New Stuff", as its title says, introduces the new features added to the latest revision of the IEEE standard for the VHDL hardware description language. Written by the Chair and Technical Editor of the IEEE working group, the book is an authoritative guide to how the new features work and how to use them to improve design productivity. It will be invaluable for early adopters of the new language version, for tool implementers, and for those just curious about where VHDL is headed. First in the market describing the new features of VHDL 2008; Just the new features, so existing users and implementers can focus on what's new; Helps readers to learn the new features soon, rather than waiting for new editions of complete VHDL reference books. Authoritative, written by experts in the area; Tutorial style, making it more accessible than the VHDL Standard Language Reference Manual.
