Logic of Arithmetic

Logic of Arithmetic

For propositional logic it can be decided whether a formula has a deduction from a finite set of other formulas. This volume begins with a method to decide this for the quantified formulas of those fragments of arithmetic which express the properties of order-plus-successor and of order-plus-addition (Pressburger arithmetic). It makes use of an algorithm eliminating quantifiers which in turn is also applied to obtain consistency proofs for these fragments. | Logic of Arithmetic

Underpinning and Retention

Underpinning and Retention

The failure of foundations leads to distortion of building superstructures and a loss of structural integrity. If allowed to continue unchecked this process will lead ultimately to non-serviceability and demolition. The chief and most successful remedial measure is to underpin the structure and restore full or partial structural integrity. Various underpinning methods exist and choosing a particular method or selection of methods is the job of the engineer. Consistent with the underpinning procedure is the need to retain the affected structure plus the surrounding ground and/or buildings. | Underpinning and Retention

Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Dams are planned constructed and operated to meet human needs - generation of energy irrigated agricultural production flood control public and industrial supply supply of drinking water and various other purposes. Dams impound water in reservoirs during times of high flood that can be used for human requirements during times with inadequate natural flows. Positive impacts of dams are improved flood control improved welfare resulting from new access to irrigation and drinking water. Without dams there would be insufficient food to feed the world’s people and energy would be generated by burning fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. Despite this progress there remain significant concerns about the environmental impacts of dams. These environmental impacts are complex and far reaching remote of the dam and may occur in time with the dam construction or later and may lead to a loss of biodiversity and of productivity of natural resources. This bulletin compiles improvements in knowledge and state of the art technology to avoid or mitigate environmental impacts of dams on the natural ecosystem as well as to the people that depend upon them for their livelihood and also addresses the mitigation of environmental impacts on dams and reservoirs. Les barrages sont planifiés construits et exploités de manière à répondre aux besoins humains. Les barrages retiennent l'eau dans les réservoirs pendant les périodes de forte crue une eau qui peut être utilisée pour les besoins de l'homme pendant les périodes d’insuffisance des débits naturels. Les impacts positifs de barrages sont le contrôle des crues et l'amélioration du bien-être résultant du nouvel accès à l'irrigation et à l'eau potable. Sans barrages la production alimentaire serait insuffisante pour nourrir la population du globe et l'énergie serait générée en brûlant des combustibles fossiles qui produisent des gaz à effet de serre. Malgré ces progrès d'importantes préoccupations subsistent quant aux retombées des barrages sur l’environnement. Les impacts environnementaux sont complexes et d’une grande portée. Ils peuvent se produire au moment de la construction du barrage ou plus tard et peuvent entraîner une perte de la biodiversité et de la productivité des ressources naturelles. Le présent bulletin compile l'amélioration des connaissances et des technologies les plus récentes pour éviter ou atténuer les impacts environnementaux des barrages sur l'écosystème naturel ainsi que pour les personnes qui en dépendent pour leur subsistance. Il aborde également l'atténuation des impacts environnementaux sur les barrages et les réservoirs. | Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Analysis of Incomplete Multivariate Data

Analysis of Incomplete Multivariate Data

The last two decades have seen enormous developments in statistical methods for incomplete data. The EM algorithm and its extensions multiple imputation and Markov Chain Monte Carlo provide a set of flexible and reliable tools from inference in large classes of missing-data problems. Yet in practical terms those developments have had surprisingly little impact on the way most data analysts handle missing values on a routine basis. Analysis of Incomplete Multivariate Data helps bridge the gap between theory and practice making these missing-data tools accessible to a broad audience. It presents a unified Bayesian approach to the analysis of incomplete multivariate data covering datasets in which the variables are continuous categorical or both. The focus is applied where necessary to help readers thoroughly understand the statistical properties of those methods and the behavior of the accompanying algorithms. All techniques are illustrated with real data examples with extended discussion and practical advice. All of the algorithms described in this book have been implemented by the author for general use in the statistical languages S and S Plus. The software is available free of charge on the Internet.

Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport

Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport

Fate and transport models are critical components in the determination of the exposure to and risk from hazardous contaminants. Analytical models are preferable because they are generally more accessible more reliable and require fewer computational resources. Surprisingly until today only a limited number of analytical models have been accessible in the literature. Now there is Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport which provides more than 40 analytical models of diffusion and advective-diffusion in one two and three layer systems subject to a wide range of boundary and initial conditions. This text illustrates applications to contaminant transport in sediments and soils including porewater and vapor transport and also provides Mathcad spreadsheets to aid in the use of these models. The authors supply complete details of the solutions to the models for those who wish for a deeper understanding. For others who do not have the time or the need the solutions themselves are ready to be picked up and used. Reible and Choy use their 20-plus years of cumulative experience to create a thorough exploration of fate and transport models. This comprehensive text furnishes an invaluable reference for students and environmental professionals.
