The Essential Handbook of Ground-Water Sampling clearly details the economic and scientific case for adopting these new methodologies. Citing examples of unnecessary expenditure due to the inaccuracy of out-dated techniques, the editors point out that the expense of making incorrect decisions based on poor quality samples clearly negates any savings that might be realized by using older, more inefficient, and effectively short-sighted, methods. Using numerous figures, tables, and references to recent research, the editors explain the efficiency of utilizing newer, more accurate, techniques that produce higher quality data. The text provides a detailed discussion of every aspect of ground-water sampling from the development of a sampling and analysis plan, through sample collection, pretreatment, handling, shipping, and analysis, to the documentation, interpretation, and presentation of ground-water quality data.
Successful sampling events and accurate data provide a sound foundation for making important, potentially expensive decisions regarding site monitoring, risk assessment, remediation, and closure. Armed with the information presented in this handbook, environmental professionals will be able to make sound technological and economic decisions regarding the choice of sampling equipment, methodologies, and procedures to meet their site-specific objectives and ensure the success of their ground-water sampling programs.

Science and engineering of short fibre reinforced polymer composites (Woodhead Publishing in Materials) >> By S-Y Fu, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, B Lauke, Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, Germany and Y-W Mai, University of Sydney, Australia
Author: S-Y Fu, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, B Lauke, Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, Germany and Y-W Mai, University of Sydney, Australia | Size: 5.3 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Limited | Year: July 2009 | pages: 361 | ISBN: ISBN 1 84569 269 1 ISBN-13: 978 1 84569 269 8
In the final chapter relating to the fracture mechanics of SFRP, the depth and breadth is quite remarkable. The text is both well-planned and well-written.
Materials World
- reviews the mechanical properties and functions of short fibre reinforced polymer composites (SFRP)
- examines recent developments in the fundamental mechanisms of SFRP's
- assesses major factors affecting mechanical performance such as stress transfer and strength
- discusses the extensive application of SFRP's in automobiles, durable consumer goods and electrical industries
When fibres in a composite are discontinuous and are shorter than a few millimetres, the composite is called a ‘short fibre reinforced composite (SFRP)’. SFRPs have found extensive applications in automobiles, business machines, durable consumer items, sporting goods and electrical industries owing to their low cost, easy processing and superior mechanical properties over the parent polymers. The book summarises recent developments in this area, focusing on the fundamental mechanisms that govern the mechanical properties including strength, modulus, fracture toughness and thermal properties of SFRP materials.
This book covers the following topics: extrusion compounding and injection moulding, major factors affecting mechanical performance, stress transfer, strength, elastic modulus flexural modulus, thermal conductivity and expansion, non-linear stress-strain behaviour and fracture mechanics of short fibre reinforced polymers.
With its distinguished team of authors, Science and engineering of short fibre reinforced polymer composites is a standard reference for anyone involved in the development, manufacture and use of SFRPs. It will also provide an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of these versatile materials.

The construction of high-speed railways includes a wide variety of aspects, ranging from safety to new types of equipment and construction solutions. All these require state-of-art technologies, and in recent years design concepts for high-speed railways have improved. The focus in this volume is on the interaction between rail track and bridges. Track-bridge interaction sets a limit to the vibration and deformability of structures, so that accelerations, stresses and track deformations are controlled, circulation safety is satisfied, and design solutions for bridges are determined.

Greening Airports considers the “greening”, i.e., more sustainable development, of the entire air transport system – airports, air traffic control, and airlines – that could be achieved by the development and implementation of advanced operations and technologies.
A broad overview of the general concept is given at the start of Greening Airports, which then goes on to provide a system for monitoring and assessing the level of greening of both the air transport system and individual airports. These are followed by analysis and modelling of the potential effects of particular advanced operations and technologies on the greening of airports and their local airspace. These include:
the development of a large airport into a multimodal transport node by connecting it to a high speed rail network;
the use of operations supported by new and existing air traffic control technologies to increase landing capacity of existing runways;
the use of liquid hydrogen as a commercial aviation fuel; and
the improvement of airport ground accessibility by a light rail rapid transit system.
Greening Airports is written for researchers, planners, operators and policy makers in air transport.
