Handbook of Conservation Agriculture [Two-Volume set]

Handbook of Conservation Agriculture [Two-Volume set]

Conservation agriculture is a sustainable production model that not only optimizes crop yields but also reaps economic and environmental benefits as well. The adoption of successful conservation agriculture methods has resulted in energy savings higher organic matter content and biotic activity in soil increased crop-water availability and thus resilience to drought improved recharge of aquifers less erosion and reduced impacts from the weather associated with climate change in general. This two-volume set Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change and Applied Agricultural Practices for Mitigating Climate Change examines several important aspects of crop production such as climate change soil management farm machinery and different methods for sustainable conservation agriculture. It presents the latest techniques in crop modeling best practices for irrigation under water deficit conditions and other approaches for sustainable conservation agriculture that consider the environmental effects of climate change. It also discusses solar energy-based greenhouse modeling precision farming using remote sensing and GIS and various types of machinery used for conservation agriculture. Features: Examines the effects of climate change on agriculture and the related strategies for mitigation through practical real-world examples Explores innovative on-farm technology options to increase system efficiency resulting in improved water usage Presents examples of precision farming using climate-resilient technologies | Handbook of Conservation Agriculture [Two-Volume set]

Optics for Engineers

Optics for Engineers

The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for
