Flash Computation and EoS Modelling for Compositional Thermal Simulation of Flow in Porous Media (Springer Theses)
by Duncan PatersonThis book investigates a wide range of phase equilibrium modelling and calculation problems for compositional thermal simulation. Further, it provides an effective solution for multiphase isenthalpic flash under the classical framework, and it also presents a new flash calculation framework for multiphase systems, which can handle phase equilibrium and chemical reaction equilibrium simultaneously. The framework is particularly suitable for systems with many phases and reactions. In this book, the author shows how the new framework can be generalised for different flash specifications and different independent variables. Since the flash calculation is at the heart of various types of compositional simulation, the findings presented here will promote the combination of phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium calculations in future simulators, aiming at improving their robustness and efficiency.
Flash Floods: Forecasting and Warning
by Kevin SeneFlash floods typically develop in a period a few hours or less and can arise from heavy rainfall and other causes, such as dam or flood defence breaches, and ice jam breaks. The rapid development, often associated with a high debris content, can present a considerable risk to people and property. This book describes recent developments in techniques for monitoring and forecasting the development of flash floods, and providing flood warnings. Topics which are discussed include rainfall and river monitoring, nowcasting, Numerical Weather Prediction, rainfall-runoff modelling, and approaches to the dissemination of flood warnings and provision of an emergency response.The book is potentially useful on civil engineering, water resources, meteorology and hydrology courses (and for post graduate studies) but is primarily intended as a review of the topic for a wider audience.
Flash Floods in Egypt (Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation)
by Abdelazim M. NegmThis book presents the latest findings and information on flash floods in Egypt and presents case studies from various regions throughout the country. The quantitative and qualitative dimensions of these flash floods are discussed on the basis of statistical analysis and field observations. The book covers a broad and diverse range of topics, including evaluation of drainage basins, early warning systems, flash flood investigations, hydrologic simulation, GIS and flash floods, environmental flash floods, hazard management, flash flood monitoring, assessment of flood risks, flash flood vulnerability and mitigation, management of flash floods, prediction and mitigation, and rainfall harvesting and utilization. The book offers a unique source of information on virtually all dimensions of flash floods in Egypt and their environmental impacts, and combines analysis, observations, and experts’ hands-on field experience. It also supports the assessment and management of flash floods in Egypt, a country currently facing many challenges in implementing sustainable development plans, mainly because of the severe water scarcity the arid country facing.
Flash Floods in Vietnam: Causes, Impacts, and Solutions
by Le Huy Ba Thai Van Nam Le HungThis book discusses the threats and impacts of flash floods in Vietnam on environmental, human, and socio-economic resources, and covers monitoring, forecasting, warning, urgent action plans, and prevention solutions. While the work focuses on cases in Vietnam, it is applicable to many regions in the world that experience flash flooding as a common occurrence. Through data collection, field surveys, and investigational statistics from a specialized group of authors, the book provides comprehensive background knowledge on flash floods, and a flash flood hazard map using remote sensing and GIS techniques that can be used to assess the likelihood and potential impacts of flash floods before vulnerable areas and populations can be threatened. The intended audience of this manuscript is people interested in the fields of weather, environment, and natural disasters. It will serve as a reference for environmental managers, administrators of disaster planning, and extreme weather scientists.
Flashes of Brilliance: The Science and Wonder of Arizona Lightning
by Ronald L. Holle Daile ZhangThis book is a comprehensive resource on lightning and describes the unique roles which the state of Arizona has with regard to lightning. Not only is it spectacular, it is also admired, feared, and misunderstood, but its knowledge has come of age in the last two decades.This book describes why Arizona can be called the “Lightning Photography Capital of the U.S.”, how the general public and Native Americans in Arizona have viewed lightning, and when and where lightning occurs and impacts people and resources in Arizona. It contains summaries of interviews with current and former University of Arizona staff who invented real-time lightning detection in the late 1970s and how subsequent lightning research in Arizona has been globally significant. The authors are very well acquainted with and up to date on these topics. The style of this book is active and somewhat scholarly but readable by the nonprofessional with a general interest in lightning.What is lightning? How does lightning affect Arizona? Why do photographers come to Arizona for lightning photographs? What is unique about Arizona lightning? How is lightning detected in Arizona and around the world? This book tells you answers to these questions.This book is intended for a broad audience comprised of visitors, interested lay public, a variety of scientific disciplines, media, medicine, lightning safety, and fire weather. It is suitable for readers desiring a general overview of lightning, especially in Arizona, but also for those who want to know specifically about the topic.
Fleeing the City: Studies in the Culture and Politics of Antiurbanism
by M. ThompsonThis collection of essays explores the phenomenon of antiurbanism: the antipathy, fear, and hatred of the city. Antiurbanism has been a pervasive counter-discourse to modernity and urbanization especially since the beginning of industrialism and the dawning of modern life. Most of the attention on modernity has been focused on urbanization and its consequences. But as the essays collected here demonstrate, antiurbanism is an equally important reality as it can be seen as playing a crucial role in cultural identity, in the formation of the self within the context of modernity, as well as in the root of many forms of conservative politics and cultural movements.
Flexibilisierung von Arbeitswelten in der digitalen Transformation und der Covid-19-Pandemie: Eine konfigurationstheoretische Analyse der funktionalen Umsetzung von Homeoffice (Zukunftsfähige Unternehmensführung in Forschung und Praxis)
by Madlen Anna KrügerDie Flexibilisierung von Arbeitswelten stellt eine zentrale Maßnahme für Unternehmen dar, um auf neue Anforderungen der Umwelt zu reagieren. Die Umsetzung flexibler Arbeitsmodelle muss daher wissenschaftlich erforscht und auf dieser Basis in der Praxis konkret gestaltet werden. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht empirisch die erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Homeoffice vor einem konfigurationstheoretischen Hintergrund. Es wird aufgezeigt, welche Faktoren die Umsetzung von Homeoffice in Organisationen beeinflussen, welche Konfigurationen von Faktoren in der Praxis besonders erfolgreich sind, und durch welche HR-Maßnahmen das Arbeitsmodell konkret gestaltet werden kann. Die Ergebnisse knüpfen an aktuelle Forschungen zu organisationalen Konfigurationen und zu neuen Arbeitswelten an und tragen außerdem dazu bei, künftig mehr positive Potentiale von Homeoffice nutzbar zu machen. Dazu gehören momentan besonders die Aufrechterhaltung des Arbeitsbetriebes während der Pandemie, eine leichtere Einbindung aller Arbeitskräfte in das Erwerbsleben und eine fortschreitende Gleichstellung der Geschlechter sowie ein sinkendes Verkehrsaufkommen in Zeiten des Klimawandels.
Flexibility in Global Climate Policy: Beyond Joint Implementation
by Tim Jackson Stuart ParkinsonSince the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1997, the negotiation of policy responses to climate change has become an area of major research. This authoritative volume sets out the main debates and processes of joint implementation - bilateral or multilateral investments in greenhouse gas emission reduction or sequestration - and explores the issues involved in constructing an appropriate institutional framework. It examines the key economic, environmental, social and ethical impacts, and assesses the operational design of the flexibility mechanisms of joint implementation, including emissions trading and the Clean Development Mechanism. An approach is developed in which streamlined assessment procedures are combined with institutional safeguards in order to balance the demand for practical mechanisms with the environmental objectives of the Protocol. The book provides detailed case studies of energy sector investment in Eastern European host countries.
