Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation

Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation

The development of technology in the emergency sanitation sector has not been emphasised sufficiently considering that the management of human excreta is a basic requirement for every person. The lack of technology tailored to emergency situations complicates efforts to cater for sanitation needs in challenging humanitarian crisis. Concerns persists on the lack of faecal sludge management that considers the whole sanitation chain from containment until treatment. This study focused on the development of a smart emergency toilet termed the eSOS (emergency sanitation operation system) smart toilet to address the limitation in technical options. This toilet is based on the eSOS concept that takes into account the entire sanitation chain. This study also addresses the limited time for planning in emergencies by developing a decision support system (DSS) to help quick selection of optimal sanitation options. The aim was to enable users of the DSS to plan their emergency sanitation response within the shortest time possible. The study aims to contribute toward a better emergency sanitation response by application of technology advances. | Rethinking Faecal Sludge Management in Emergency Settings Decision Support Tools and Smart Technology Applications for Emergency Sanitation

Ground Characterization and Structural Analyses for Tunnel Design

Ground Characterization and Structural Analyses for Tunnel Design

This practical and design-oriented book focuses on ground characterization and structural calculation as part of the active structural design methodology. With a focus on rock tunnelling it offers a comprehensive rather than a topic-based perspective deriving sound tunnel design criteria and methods from basic principles. Ground characterization includes excavations site investigation and in situ stress determination culminating in geotechnical classifications. The book then deals with various construction methods and their appropriate calculations which range from constitutive models for the stress-strain behaviour of an excavation and tunnel support elements to a full stress–strain analysis methodology. The heavily practical approach of the book draws on the authors’ twenty years of tunnelling experience in Spain and South America. It will help any young or established professional who wants to develop a career in the underground field across both civil engineering and geology. As it incorporates the very fundamentals of tunneling design it can be used as a support for tunneling courses or as a textbook for master’s and PhD courses. Benjamín Celada was Chief Tunnel Engineer at Hunosa and Potasas de Navarra S. A. before founding Geocontrol S. A. He has also worked for twenty years as Professor of Underground Works at the Polytechnic Mining University in Madrid Spain. Z. T. Bieniawski directed the Rock Mechanics Department of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria then taught at the Pennsylvania State University for twenty years. | Ground Characterization and Structural Analyses for Tunnel Design

Adjuvant Medical Care

Adjuvant Medical Care

Despite tremendous gains in medical knowledge most conditions are managed rather than cured by medications. As a result countless patients seek supplemental modes of care to better control their symptoms and conditions to improve their overall wellbeing. This reality spotlights the need for adjuvant medical procedures. Adjuvant medical care refers to any supportive therapy that enhances the outcome of medical measures already in place. Adjuvant care does not replace primary or traditional treatments but instead serves as add-on care to the initial medical treatment plan prescribed by a health care provider. The addition of one or more non-prescription therapies (e. g. nutritional support over-the-counter remedies home care dietary measures supplements etc. ) to the primary medical management regimen has become increasingly popular and mainstream thanks to scientific studies that have documented favorable outcomes for many patients. The verifiable scientific merit of these additional medical options demonstrates their usefulness in the treatment of many medical conditions. The purpose of this handbook is to provide support to doctors and patients who are interested in safe and effective non-prescription and non-pharmacological medical therapies for specific conditions to minimize symptoms and optimize recovery and quality of life. • Helps doctors and patients discover additional therapies that can reduce pain advance health outcomes minimize complications and disability and extend life. • Presents safe reliable and practical options that are available to reduce symptoms maximize recovery and positively augment the management of a variety of conditions. • Provides medical insight into less traditional yet often effective supportive options for enhancing and optimizing patient response to care. This book is a valuable resource for both doctors and patients who are committed to achieving the best possible medical outcomes through a variety of coordinated approaches.
