Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

This book will not serve as the encyclopedia of cover crop management but it’s close. The benefits of a wide range of individual cover crops and blends/mixes for specific agronomic crop rotations and geographic locations are included. Descriptions photographs and illustrations show how cover crops look in the field including plant height leaf architecture and rooting patterns. Long term benefits are described for soil health soil structure water quality nutrient contributions soil biodiversity air quality and climate change. In addition to the whys of cover crop use the book includes details on the hows: how to choose cover crops for specific applications and locations; how (and when) to plant; how to manage and maintain the cover for maximum benefit; and how and when to terminate. Planting options include: drilling/planting between rows of an agronomic crop at planting time or when the crop is short (i. e. corn in early June); aerial seeding with an airplane or high-clearance machine shortly before the crop reaches maturity; and drilling/planting immediately after harvest of the agronomic crop. Selected cover crops (blends) can help with pest and disease management. Cover crops are an economic input with an expected return on investment similar to pesticides and fertilizer. As part of a continuous no-till system cover crops provide long-term biological chemical and structural benefits. The resulting increase in soil organic matter means the agronomic crop yields benefit from better water infiltration and water holding capacity greater availability of nitrogen and other nutrients deeper rooting and increased soil microbial activity in the root zone. | Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Essentials of Soft Matter Science

Essentials of Soft Matter Science

‘Choice Outstanding Title’ Authored by world-leading physicists this introductory textbook explores the basic principles of polymers colloids liquid crystals wetting and foams. It is a practical ‘toolbox’ for readers to acquire basic knowledge in the field and facilitate further reading and advanced courses. Undergraduate students in physics biology and the medical sciences will learn the basics of soft matter physics in addition to scaling approaches in the spirit of the Nobel prize laureate in physics in 1991 Pierre-Gilles de Gennes the inventor of soft matter physics and close collaborator to author Françoise Brochard-Wyart. Features: Accessible and compact approach Contains interesting examples from everyday life (including the Paris Metro a water spider a gecko and duck feathers) Accompanied by additional exercises to enhance understanding available for download from the CRC Press website Three physicists (one theoretician; two experimentalists one in biophysics) adopt an intuitive and practical style to present the fundamentals of soft matter physics. Make no mistake: the style is accessible and revealing but the underlying science is profound. Brochard-Wyart (Sorbonne Univ. ) was a collaborator and former student of the late Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (originator of soft matter physics 1991 Nobel laureate in physics). The authors lay claim to the style of de Gennes (and reference their class notes) in their method of presentation including its organization and range of topics. There are two broad groupings: chapters 1–7 cover definition and characterization of soft matter then interfaces phase transitions liquid crystals surfactants and polymers offering simple calculations (order of magnitude estimates) and scaling law arguments. Part 2 (chapters 8–10) covers a range of applications: self-cleaning surfaces biomimetic adhesion optical applications and biological applications from DNA to tissue engineering. Many examples are based on everyday household phenomena. Each chapter provides a short bibliography. Any student (primarily in physics biology chemistry and engineering) or researcher will enjoy reading this unique book. To benefit fully readers need some background in electricity and magnetism chemistry fluid mechanics statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. This reader has rarely encountered a book so accessible yet so thought provoking. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals. —J.

Soft Ground Tunnel Design

Soft Ground Tunnel Design

Soft Ground Tunnel Design is a textbook that teaches the principles of tunnel and underground space design in soft ground. ‘Soft ground’ refers to soil in contrast to rock. The book focuses on stability prediction of ground movements and structural design of the lining. It shows that the choice of excavation and support methods depends on ground stability limitation of damage to the existing built environment and health safety and environmental considerations. Benoît Jones builds on the basic principles of soil-structure interaction the three-dimensional effects of construction sequence and the effects of construction on other surface or subsurface structures in steps of gradually increasing complexity. The use of worked examples throughout and example problems at the end of each chapter give the reader confidence to apply their knowledge. Engineers and graduate students will be able to: • understand the basis for choosing an underground construction method and/or ground improvement method • calculate heading stability • predict ground movements • understand the complex soil-structure interaction around an advancing tunnel • design tunnel linings in soft ground using a variety of methods • predict the effects of construction on the built environment and assess potential damage Benoît Jones has worked in tunnelling as a designer contractor and academic for more than 20 years. He set up and ran the MSc Tunnelling and Underground Space course at the University of Warwick. He is now managing director of his own company Inbye Engineering.

Soft Computing Approach for Mathematical Modeling of Engineering Problems

Soft Computing Approach for Mathematical Modeling of Engineering Problems

This book describes different mathematical modeling and soft computing techniques used to solve practical engineering problems. It gives an overview of the current state of soft computing techniques and describes the advantages and disadvantages of soft computing compared to traditional hard computing techniques. Through examples and case studies the editors demonstrate and describe how problems with inherent uncertainty can be addressed and eventually solved through the aid of numerical models and methods. The chapters address several applications and examples in bioengineering science drug delivery solving inventory issues Industry 4. 0 augmented reality and weather forecasting. Other examples include solving fuzzy-shortest-path problems by introducing a new distance and ranking functions. Because in practice problems arise with uncertain data and most of them cannot be solved exactly and easily the main objective is to develop models that deliver solutions with the aid of numerical methods. This is the reason behind investigating soft numerical computing in dynamic systems. Having this in mind the authors and editors have considered error of approximation and have discussed several common types of errors and their propagations. Moreover they have explained the numerical methods along with convergence and consistence properties and characteristics as the main objectives behind this book involve considering discussing and proving related theorems within the setting of soft computing. This book examines dynamic models and how time is fundamental to the structure of the model and data as well as the understanding of how a process unfolds • Discusses mathematical modeling with soft computing and the implementations of uncertain mathematical models • Examines how uncertain dynamic systems models include uncertain state uncertain state space and uncertain state’s transition functions • Assists readers to become familiar with many soft numerical methods to simulate the solution function’s behaviorThis book is intended for system specialists who are interested in dynamic systems that operate at different time scales. The book can be used by engineering students researchers and professionals in control and finite element fields as well as all engineering applied mathematics economics and computer science interested in dynamic and uncertain systems.

Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies

Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies

The word ‘diaspora’ has leapt from its previously confined use – mainly concerned with the dispersion of Jews Greeks Armenians and Africans away from their natal homelands – to cover the cases of many other ethnic groups nationalities and religions. But this ‘horizontal’ scattering of the word to cover the mobility of many groups to many destinations has been paralleled also by ‘vertical’ leaps with the word diaspora being deployed to cover more and more phenomena and serve more and more objectives of different actors. With sections on ‘debating the concept’ ‘complexity’ ‘home and home-making’ ‘connections’ and ‘critiques’ the Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies is likely to remain an authoritative reference for some time. Each contribution includes a targeted list of references for further reading. The editors have carefully blended established scholars of diaspora with younger scholars looking at how diasporas are constructed ‘from below’. The adoption of a variety of conceptual perspectives allows for generalization contrasts and comparisons between cases. In this exciting and authoritative collection over 40 scholars from many countries have explored the evolving use of the concept of diaspora its possibilities as well as its limitations. This Handbook will be indispensable for students undertaking essays debates and dissertations in the field.

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha (c. 1605-?1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s and for inventing a system that he claimed would enable even those without practical experience of music to learn to compose in a short time by means of 'a few easy certain and perfect Rules'-his most famous composition pupil being Samuel Pepys in 1662. His great aim was to publish a treatise on music in its philosophical mathematical and practical aspects (which would have included a definitive summary of his rules of composition) entitled Syntagma music¦. Subscriptions for this book were invited in 1672-3 and it was due to be published by March 1675; but it never appeared and no final manuscript of it survives. Consequently knowledge about his work has hitherto remained extremely sketchy. Recent research however has brought to light a number of manuscripts which allow us at last to form a more complete view of Birchensha's ideas. Almost none of this material has been previously published. The new items include an autograph treatise of c. 1664 ('A Compendious Discourse of the Principles of the Practicall & Mathematicall Partes of Musick') which Birchensha presented to the natural philosopher Robert Boyle and which covers concisely much of the ground that he intended to cover in Syntagma music¦; a detailed synopsis for Syntagma music¦ which he prepared for a meeting of the Royal Society in February 1676; and an autograph notebook (now in Brussels) containing his six rules of composition with music examples presumably written for a pupil. Bringing all this material together in a single volume will allow scholars to see how Birchensha's rules and theories developed over a period of fifteen years and to gain at least a flavour of the lost Syntagma music¦. | John Birchensha: Writings on Music

Fundamentals of Fracture Mechanics

Fundamentals of Fracture Mechanics

Almost all books available on fracture mechanics cover the majority of topics presented in this book and often much much more. While great as references this makes teaching from them more difficult because the materials are not typically presented in the order that most professors cover them in their lectures and more than half the information presented is not covered in an introductory course at all. Focusing on the needs of students and professors Fundamentals of Fracture Mechanics offers an introduction to the discipline through careful editing and mindfulness toward the audience. The book begins with a review of the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and the theory of elasticity relevant to fracture mechanics. The following material has been carefully selected only including topics important enough to be covered in a first course on fracture mechanics. Except for the last chapter no advanced topics are covered. Therefore instructors of elementary fracture mechanics courses can easily cover the entire book in a three-unit graduate-level course without having to spend too much time picking and choosing appropriate topics for the course from the vast knowledge presented in most fracture mechanic books available today. Drawing on over 20 years of teaching the author supplies practical and useful resources including practice exercises designed to facilitate enjoyable learning and reference for further study. His clear concise coverage of essential information makes the book ideal not only for an introductory course but also for self-study.
