ISBN: 3319691856
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
The book is a practical manual which has been created to support the syllabus of agro-meteorology courses specifically designed for graduate and post-graduate students. The topics covered in the manual include working with meteorological instruments for measurement of various meteorological parameters like temperature, humidity, sunshine hours, precipitation, etc. Separate chapters have been included for computation of growing degree days, agro-climatic zones, crop modelling and agro-advisory services. The book will have great appeal to students of agriculture, horticulture, and forestry.
Accelerations and Passenger Harness Loads Measured in Full-scale Light-airplane Crashes
Author: A. Martin Eiband
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Acceleration (Mechanics)
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
Full-scale light-airplane crashes simulating stall-spin accidents were conducted to determine the decelerations to which occupants are exposed and the resulting harness forces encountered in this type of accident. Crashes at impact speeds from 42 to 60 miles per hour were studied. The airplanes used were of the familiar steel-tube, fabric-covered, tandem, two-seat type.

Environmental Soil Physics
Author: Daniel Hillel
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080544150
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 801
Book Description
Environmental Soil Physics is a completely updated and modified edition of the Daniel Hillels previous, successful books, Introduction to Soil Physics and Fundamentals of Soil Physics. Hillel is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, one of the true leaders in the field of environmental sciences. The new version includes a chapter and problems on computational techniques, addresses current environmental concerns and trends. - Updates and expands the scope of Hillel's prior works, Fundamentals of Soil Physics (1980)and Applications of Soil Physics (1980) - Explores the wide range of interactions among the phases in the soil and the dynamic interconnections of the soil with the subterranean and atmospheric domains - Draws attention to historical and contemporary issues concerning the human management of soil and water resources - Directs readers toward solution of practical problems in terrestrial ecology, field-scale hydrology, agronomy, and civil engineering - Incorporates contributions by leading scientists in the areas of spatial variability, soil remediation, and the inclusion of land-surface processes in global climate models

The Handbook of Groundwater Engineering
Author: John H. Cushman
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498703054
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1092
Book Description
This new edition adds several new chapters and is thoroughly updated to include data on new topics such as hydraulic fracturing, CO2 sequestration, sustainable groundwater management, and more. Providing a complete treatment of the theory and practice of groundwater engineering, this new handbook also presents a current and detailed review of how to model the flow of water and the transport of contaminants both in the unsaturated and saturated zones, covers the protection of groundwater, and the remediation of contaminated groundwater.
