The Effects of Induced Hydraulic Fracturing on the Environment Commercial Demands vs. Water, Wildlife, and Human Ecosystems Edited by
Matthew McBroom Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches, Texas, USA
Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” as it is commonly known, refers to the practice of using liquids at very high pressures to fragment rock, thereby allowing natural gas to be harvested. This process increases energy resources but also has some negative environmental impacts as well. This book looks at the environmental impact. The first section looks at fracturing and the water supply, the second section looks at ecosystems and wildlife, while the final section examines the possible effects on human ecosystems and human health.

This book examines the behavior of structural members and systems to aid in the structural design of tall buildings in conjunction with the latest building codes. These code provisions are subject to change periodically. Familiarity with current methodologies is essential to designing structures that comply with legally-adapted standards in a safe, economic, and efficient manner. However, the first nine chapters explain the fundamental principles of structural engineering in such a manner as to be entirely independent of code regulations.

As designs of machine components require cheaper, lighter, smarter, longerlasting, and more environmentally friendly surfaces that see applications that are hotter, faster, highly pressurized, and exposed to other increasingly hostile environments, there is a need for engineering surfaces to be multifunctional. This multifunctionality can be achieved by the use of modern advanced materials and coatings. This is a challenging area because usually there is antagonism between obtaining low friction and low wear as well as between high corrosion resistance and low wear.

Monique Aubry and Pascal Lievre Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series
The growing complexity of projects and the uncertainty that reigns in today’s global economy are rendering ineffective traditional project practices and processes. These outdated techniques are based on the premise that knowledge about a project is complete before it ever starts—this is nearly impossible in today’s ever-changing world. New methods are needed to allow projects to adapt to changing conditions. Simply said, project management has to evolve! This book presents the latest steps in this evolution.

Systems Science & Engineering
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida, USA
This book explores practices that can be helpful in the development of architectures of large-scale systems in which software is a major component. Examining the synergies that exist between software and systems engineering, it details an approach to architecture design that is driven from systemic quality attributes determined from both the business and technical goals of the system. This approach utilizes analytically derived patterns and tactics for quality attributes that inform the architect’s design choices and help shape the architecture of a given system.

Systems Engineering Simplified Robert Cloutier, Clifton Baldwin, and Mary Alice Bone
Systems Science & Engineering
Although there are many facets of systems engineering, it basically can be explained as focusing on addressing “why” a system is needed, “what” the system must do, and then “how” the system will accomplish the task over the entire life of the system - from conception to disposal. Designed for student systems engineers, this book provides a holistic understanding of systems engineering while they consider their applications of fluid power into broader systems.
