The Yellow River experienced many major floods in the past. The Yellow River Conservancy Commission (YRCC) of the Ministry of Water Resources constructed a number of reservoirs for flood control and water management. The operation of the multi-reservoir system requires adaptive management procedures to deal with changing reservoir storage conditions and effects of climate change. New software tools were explored in this book and a robust algorithm was developed to deal with multi-valued storage-release relations.

Arcata, California, USA

Gideon Almagor To design and build synthetic structures on the seabed or in the coastal zone in a safe and environmentally responsible way, there are numerous factors engineers, geologists, and marine and environmental scientists must be aware of. These are factors affecting the sediment/water interface, the sediment column on the continental shelf and slope, and the abyssal plains. Armed with this information, these professionals are best able to evaluate potential environmental hazards. This book provides a comprehensive survey of these factors and also discusses marine in situ investigation, drilling, soil sampling, and relevant laboratory testing technologies.

Series: Studies in Avian Biology, 47

This book analyzes experimental and theoretical studies on the effects of rocket burns and launchings on the near-Earth environment and geomagnetic fields from 1,000 to 10,000 kilometers. It examines the disturbances of plasma and the ambient magnetic and electric fields in the near-Earth environment caused by rocket burns and launchings from Russia, the United States, China, France, and other worldwide space centers. Measurements were carried out using numerous radiophysical methods, including HF Doppler radar, incoherent and coherent scatter radar systems, microwave radar, magnetometer, and optical instrumentation and spectroscopy.

Current rates of climate change are faster than birds can evolve, leading to serious mismatch of migration and seasonal or phenological timing. The result is a concomitant decline of migratory bird species. The editors of this volume have assembled a team of leading experts to synthesize and review what is known of the phenological asynchrony associated with the timing and patterns of North American bird migration. This will be among the most stark and alarming accounts of the adverse impacts of climate change on a continental scale.

Juvenile Hormones and Juvenoids

Textbook

Modeling Biological Effects and Environmental Fate

Fourth Edition

Edited by

James Devillers CTIS, Rillieux La Pape, France Series: QSAR in Environmental and Health Sciences

Juvenile hormones (JHs) affect most stages of the insect life-cycle as well as their physiological functions. Juvenoids, manmade chemicals that mimic the actions of JHs, can be used to disrupt the endocrine system of insects, making them particularly suited as larvicides for the control of pest and disease vectoring insects. This book presents various modeling approaches and computational methods that can be used to study the mechanism of action of JHs in insects and to estimate the adverse effects and the environmental fate of juvenoids.

Speciation Studies in Soil, Sediment and Environmental Samples

Karen E. Stine

Edited by

Auburn University, School of Sciences, Montgomery, Alabama, USA

Sezgin Bakirdere

Thomas M. Brown

Recent developments clearly indicate that speciation studies in biological and environmental matrices are much more important than the total element determination due to the tremendous difference in bioavailability and toxicity of various chemical forms of a particular element. Different separation-detection techniques and hyphenated systems—each with its own advantages and disadvantages with respect to precision, sensitivity and detection limit—have been developed for the identification and quantification of the species present in systems at ultra-trace levels. This book aims to evaluate the speciation analysis in depth and present a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art analytical approaches used for the speciation of elements in environmental samples.

Wendel Wohlleben, Thomas A.J. Kuhlbusch, Jürgen Schnekenburger, and Claus-Michael Lehr Billions of dollars in public funding have been spent on novel nanomaterials, and the resulting products are entering the consumer world now: new paints and coatings; electric cars powered by nanomaterials in the battery, chassis, and tires; new renewable energy sources, to name a few. But contrary to other disrupting technologies such as nuclear energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high-risk to implement as well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. The goal of this book is to help the reader in making such safely decisions. Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-6786-3 December 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 477 pp. Suggested Price: $139.95 / £89.00

Micro- and Nanobubbles

Green Chemistry Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry

Fundamentals and Applications Edited by

Hideki Tsuge

Sally A. Henrie Union University, Jackson, Tennessee, USA

Keio University, Tokyo, Japan

This book is a “greener” laboratory manual written for general college chemistry courses. Having students perform “greener” experiments will not only make a safer learning environment, but it will also greatly reduce the quantity of hazardous waste generated and the cost for chemicals and waste disposal. The laboratory experiments not only use green principles but also seek to teach students about green chemistry and its importance. This is done in the introductory section of the manual, the individual lab introductions, and through extension questions requiring research about traditional, more hazardous experimental methods.

The field of micro- and nanobubbles has shown a strong potential for growth and is frequently highlighted in the news. Micro- and nanobubbles have many applications in a variety of fields including engineering, agriculture, environment, food, and medicine. This book is divided into three parts for the convenience of the readers: fundamentals, applications of microbubbles, and applications of nanobubbles. The book comprehensively discusses these topics and presents the possibility of micro- and nanobubbles as a new technology that can be utilized globally.

Calcium and Magnesium in Groundwater Occurrence and Significance for Human Health Edited by

Groundwater Geochemistry Fundamentals and Applications to Contamination, Second Edition William J. Deutsch Geochemistry Services, Sequin, Washington

Randy Siegel

Polish Geological Institute-NR, Sosnowiec, Poland

Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron, manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate mainly on these water components and only a small number of papers describe results of groundwater studies on valuable water components as calcium or magnesium. Calcium and magnesium are of great importance to human health and inadequate intake of either nutrient can impair health. The main objective of this IAH Selected Papers book is to present the results of the studies on calcium and magnesium in groundwater as well as their importance for human health.

This book offers an introduction to the geochemical processes in the subsurface that produce the composition of groundwater found in an aquifer. It covers the basic processes, from mineral dissolution and precipitation to adsorption/desorption, an understanding of which provides investigators with the knowledge to interpret the chemical evolution of groundwater and the tools to develop practical, effective remediation methods. The book also discusses the application of geochemical modeling for natural and contaminated sites. Completely updated, this second edition includes several new chapters and a new glossary.

Written in terms that even the non-specialist will understand, Environmental Isotopes in Hydrogeology focuses exclusively on this critical area of hydrogeology. The authors have evaluated half a century of research to provide this how-to guide. The book explains the theoretical basis of the methods, demonstrates how to apply them, and illustrates key points with practical case studies and problem sets. It includes more than 100 figures, extensive references, and a comprehensive subject index for rapid access to specific topics. A corresponding Web site (http:// www.science.uottawa.ca/~eih) presents additional related material.

University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

There remains a lack of understanding of environmental isotopes and their use, students and practitioners typically find the concepts of isotope fractionation to be more complicated than for geochemistry. However, this need not be so, if the basics are presented together with geochemistry, using case studies and examples to make the point. This new book will present the basics of environmental isotopes and geochemistry together, with case studies and simple examples that will build a real understanding of their use in natural and contaminated groundwater.

The authors describe the best techniques for mapping and classifying wetlands in a multitude of different environments with commonly available data and with cost-effective methods. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using different techniques in different environments.

In the U.S., both federal and state laws prevent wetlands from being filled in or drained unless permits are obtained by an agency of the federal government. Boundaries of a wetland must be identified and located in the field by examining three parameters: wetland plants, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils. This book is written by scientists with extensive field and academic experience. This new edition is a major revision of the 2001 book, with 11 new chapters and updates throughout.
