Containing the first results from the excavation of a terp at Wijnaldum in the Netherlands, this book describes how the area was once a cradle of political and economic growth, and how Frisian history is now threatened in parts of the terp region.
This textbook compiles reports written by about 35 internationally recognized authorities, and covers a range of interests for geotechnical engineers. Topics include: fundamentals for mechanics of granular materials; continuum theory of granular m...
This volume of papers explores practical aspects of soil and surface water interactions with groundwater, including modelling of flow and contaminant transport in the unsaturated and saturated zones.
Uganda's Nakivubo swamp has been receiving wastewater from Kampala for over 30 years and consists of a floating root mat. It's potential to remove nutrients and pathogens from wastewater in a sustainable way, while maintaining ecological quality a...
A study in the development of flow adaptive numerical schemes in computational hydraulics directed to enhancing modelling capabilities. Examples covered include additional flow resistance due to flexible vegetation; one-dimensional supercritical f...
Introduces the theory and practical application of dilating soil and the load-holding capacity of deep foundations. Topics covered include dilatancy as a fundamental property of granular media, direct shear in conditions of constrained dilatancy, ...
A selection of papers, reports and posters presented at the third European conference on echinoderms - a thorny-skinned group of marine animals considered of great zoological interest. The contributions look at morphology, development biology, ecology and symbiosis.
The proceedings of the Seventh International Echinoderm Conference, held at Atami, Japan, September 1990. In addition to sections covering ecology, evolution, reproduction,... Læs mere
Discussing issues related to the geology of Egypt and Libya, this text covers topics such as the tectonic framework of the two countries, a review of the stratigraphy of Libya, and the geology of the Pan-African Shield.
Typically a large number of interests with conflicting requirements are involved in the management of a water system. The computer-based method of management introduced in this text - dynamic control - is designed to determine the most effective o...
Echinoderm Studies is a biennial series in which comprehensive surveys of selected topics are presented. A guiding principle of the series is to cover all aspects of echinoderm biology so as to promote a better comprehension of this group of animals.
This study offers guidelines for pedestrian and bicycle traffic in African cities. The text is based on the combination of studies and test findings obtained in pilot projects carried out in Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Eldoret and Morogoro between 1995 and 2000.
