Options for Wastewater Management in Harare Zimbabwe

Options for Wastewater Management in Harare Zimbabwe

The sustainable management of waste water should aim at pollution prevention and reduction first followed by resource recovery and reuse. This work shows that substantial water quality improvements could be achieved through a so-called 3-Step Strategic Approach. The frameworks developed in this research for managing water on-site and at centralized and de-centralized levels can be used in re-designing current systems or designing new systems that make optimal use of wastewater components whilst minimising pollution. | Options for Wastewater Management in Harare Zimbabwe

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Covering the elementary aspects of the physics of phases transitions and the renormalization group this popular book is widely used both for core graduate statistical mechanics courses as well as for more specialized courses. Emphasizing understanding and clarity rather than technical manipulation these lectures de-mystify the subject and show precisely how things work. Goldenfeld keeps in mind a reader who wants to understand why things are done what the results are and what in principle can go wrong. The book reaches both experimentalists and theorists students and even active researchers and assumes only a prior knowledge of statistical mechanics at the introductory graduate level. Advanced never-before-printed topics on the applications of renormalization group far from equilibrium and to partial differential equations add to the uniqueness of this book. | Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Ground Support Technology for Highly Stressed Excavations Integrated Theoretical Laboratory and Field Research

Ground Support Technology for Highly Stressed Excavations Integrated Theoretical Laboratory and Field Research

The performance of ground support as a scheme is essential to constrain failures occurring at the rock surfaces of deep or highly stressed excavations. This book covers laboratory and theoretical developments coupled with field experiments and observations with the implementation of the methodology at mines. It explains the energy dissipation capabilities of reinforcement and support systems leading to the design of complete ground support schemes that can maintain integrity following the dynamic ejection of a mass of rock from an excavation boundary. The key features of the book are as follows: It explores the mechanics demand and capacity of ground support technology It covers the whole gamut of theories laboratory and field test results and case studies related to ground support technology It includes a comprehensive database of mesh rock bolts cable bolts and shotcrete capacity It examines ground support scheme testing and explanation It discusses comprehensive case studies including de-stress blasting This book is aimed at professionals in mining engineering including civil engineering geological engineering and geotechnical engineering and related advanced postgraduate studies. | Ground Support Technology for Highly Stressed Excavations Integrated Theoretical Laboratory and Field Research

Biometry Technology Trends and Applications

Biometry Technology Trends and Applications

Biometrics provide quantitative representations of human features physiological and behavioral. This book is a compilation of biometric technologies developed by various research groups in Tecnologico de Monterrey Mexico. It provides a summary of biometric systems as a whole explaining the principles behind physiological and behavioral biometrics and exploring different types of commercial and experimental technologies and current and future applications in the fields of security military criminology healthcare education business and marketing. Examples of biometric systems using brain signals or electroencephalography (EEG) are given. Mobile and home EEG use in children’s natural environments is covered. At the same time some examples focus on the relevance of such technology in monitoring epileptic encephalopathies in children. Using reliable physiological signal acquisition techniques functional Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) become possible. This is the case of an HMI used for assistive navigation systems controlled via voice commands head and eye movements. A detailed description of the BCI framework is presented and applications of user-centered BCIs oriented towards rehabilitation human performance and treatment monitoring are explored. Massive data acquisition also plays an essential role in the evolution of biometric systems. Machine learning deep learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are crucial allies here. They allow the construction of models that can aid in early diagnosis seizure detection and data-centered medical decisions. Such techniques will eventually lead to a more concise understanding of humans. | Biometry Technology Trends and Applications

Understanding Optics with Python

Understanding Optics with Python

Optics is an enabling science that forms a basis for our technological civilization. Courses in optics are a required part of the engineering or physics undergraduate curriculum in many universities worldwide. The aim of Understanding Optics with Python is twofold: first to describe certain basic ideas of classical physical and geometric optics; second to introduce the reader to computer simulations of physical phenomena. The text is aimed more broadly for those who wish to use numerical/computational modeling as an educational tool that promotes interactive teaching (and learning). In addition it offers an alternative to developing countries where the necessary equipment to carry out the appropriate experiments is not available as a result of financial constraints. This approach contributes to a better diffusion of knowledge about optics. The examples given in this book are comparable to those found in standard textbooks on optics and are suitable for self-study. This text enables the user to study and understand optics using hands-on simulations with Python. Python is our programming language of choice because of its open-source availability extensive functionality and an enormous online support. Essentials of programming in Python 3. x including graphical user interface are also provided. The codes in the book are available for download on the book’s website. Discusses most standard topics of traditional physical and geometrical optics through Python and PyQt5 Provides visualizations and in-depth descriptions of Python’s programming language and simulations Includes simulated laboratories where students are provided a hands-on exploration of Python software Coding and programming featured within the text are available for download on the book’s corresponding website. Understanding Optics with Python by Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan Hassen Ghalila Ahmed Ammar and L. Srinivasa Varadharajan is born around a nice idea: using simulations to provide the students with a powerful tool to understand and master optical phenomena. The choice of the Python language is perfectly matched with the overall goal of the book as the Python language provides a completely free and easy-to-learn platform with huge cross-platform compatibility where the reader of the book can conduct his or her own numerical experiments to learn faster and better. — Costantino De Angelis University of Brescia Italy Teaching an important programming language like Python through concrete examples from optics is a natural and in my view very effective approach. I believe that this book will be used by students and appreciated greatly by instructors. The topic of modelling optical effects and systems where the students should already have a physical background provides great motivation for students to learn the basics of a powerful programming language without the intimidation factor that often goes with a formal computer science course. — John Dudley FEMTO-ST Institute Besançon France
