Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

This design guide was written to capture the author’s practical experience of designing building and testing multi-rotor drone systems over the past decade. The lack of one single source of useful information meant that the past 10 years has been a steep learning curve a lot of self-tuition and many trial and error tests. Lessons learnt the hard way are not always the best way to learn. This book will be useful for the amateur drone pilot who wants to build their own system from first principles as well as the academic researcher investigating novel design concepts and future drone applications. | Optimizing Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aircraft A Practical Design Guide

Preparing NEPA Environmental Assessments A User’s Guide to Best Professional Practices

Preparing NEPA Environmental Assessments A User’s Guide to Best Professional Practices

Although upwards of 50 000 environmental assessments (EAs) are prepared annually—compared to some 500 environmental impact statements (EISs)—the focus of U. S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations is on defining requirements for preparing EISs. Written by Charles Eccleston and J. Peyton Doub who have established themselves among the top environmental experts in the world Preparing NEPA Environmental Assessments: A User’s Guide to Best Professional Practices fills the need for an authoritative and comprehensive guide on how to prepare EAs. Bridging the regulatory gap this book identifies relevant EIS regulatory requirements that can be logically interpreted to also apply to EAs.

Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

In one modest-sized volume this book offers three valuable sets of knowledge. First it provides best practice guidance on virtually every large-scale task a modern manager may be involved in—from recruiting and hiring to onboarding and leading teams and from employee engagement and retention to performance management and working with difficult employees. Second it explains the essential concepts and practice of a range of effective leadership styles—including (but not limited to) servant leadership crisis leadership change agent leadership and diversity and inclusion leadership. Third it offers brief case studies from select CISOs and CSOs on how these management and leadership principles and practices play out in real-life workplace situations. The best practice essentials provided throughout this volume will empower aspiring leaders and also enable experienced managers to take their leadership to the next level. Many if not most CISOs and other leaders have had very little if any formal training in management and leadership. The select few that have such training usually obtained it through academic courses that take a theoretical broad brush approach. In contrast this book provides much actionable guidance in the nitty-gritty tasks that managers must do every day. Lack of management practical knowledge puts CISOs and CSOs at a disadvantage vis-a-vis other executives in the C-suite. They risk being pigeonholed as “security cops” rather than respected business leaders. Many articles on these subjects published in the press are too incomplete and filled with bad information. And combing through the few high-quality sources that are out there such as Harvard Business Publishing can take hundreds of dollars in magazine subscription and book purchase fees and weeks or months of reading time. This book puts all the essential information into your hands through a series of concise chapters authored by an award-winning writer. | Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Many estuaries are located in urbanized highly engineered environments. Cohesive sediment plays an important role due to its link with estuarine health and ecology. An important ecological parameter is the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) translated into turbidity levels and sediment budget. This study contributes to investigate and forecast turbidity levels and sediment budget variability at San Francisco Bay-Delta system at a variety of spatial and temporal scales applying a flexible mesh process-based model (Delft3D FM). It is possible to have a robust sediment model which reproduces 90% of the yearly data derived sediment budget with simple model settings like applying one mud fraction and a simple bottom sediment distribution. This finding opens the horizon for modeling less monitored estuaries. Comparing two case studies i. e. the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Alviso Slough a classification for estuaries regarding the main sediment dynamic forcing is proposed: event-driven estuary (Delta) and tide-driven estuary (Alviso Slough). In the event-driven estuaries the rivers are the main sediment source and the tides have minor impact in the net sediment transport. In the tide-driven estuaries the main sediment source is the bottom sediment and the tide asymmetry defines the net sediment transport. This research also makes advances in connecting different scientific fields and developing a managerial tool to support decision making. It provides the basis to a chain of models which goes from the hydrodynamics to suspended sediment to phytoplankton to fish clams and marshes. | Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced skin cancer is one that has already metastasized beyond its primary origin or one that has invaded underlying tissues such that surgical resection either is technically impossible or would lead to an unacceptable functional or cosmetic outcome. These skin cancers present a complex problem that requires the input of multiple specialties to delineate the best management plan. National guidelines utilize the best available data to guide management decisions. However there is considerable leeway within the guidelines enabling the ultimate care decision to be molded to best fit each individual patient. This book aims to provide instructional examples of patient cases where the input of the multidisciplinary team is critical in providing the most suitable care plan for the patient.
