Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Since the first implementation by Electricité de France on the Goulours dam (France) in 2006 the Piano Key Weir has become a more and more applied solution to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways. In parallel several new large dam projects have been built with such a flood control structure usually in combination with gates. Today more than 25 Piano Key Weirs are in operation or under construction all over the world. More than 15 years of research and development have enabled detailed investigations of the hydraulic and structural behaviour of the Piano Key Weir complex structure and have provided more and more accurate design equations. Following the proceedings of the first two workshops held in Liege (Belgium – 2011) and Paris (France – 2013) Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III collects the contributions presented by people with varied background from researchers to practitioners at the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs - PKW 2017 (22-24 February 2017 Qui Nhon Vietnam). The papers reviewed and accepted by an International Scientific Committee summarize the current state-of-the-art on Piano Key Weirs from a theoretical to a practical point of view and present most of the main projects in operation or under construction. Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III is thus a reference for students practitioners and researchers interested in Dams Engineering. | Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

Structured in the form of a dichotomous key comparable to those widely used in botany the mineral key provides an efficient and systematic approach to identifying rock-forming minerals in thin-section. This unique approach covers 150 plus of the most commonly encountered rock-forming minerals plus a few rarer but noteworthy ones. Illustrated in full colour with 330 plus high quality mineral photomicrographs from a worldwide collection of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks it also provides a comprehensive atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin-section. Commencing with a brief introduction to mineral systems and the properties of minerals in plane-polarised and cross-polarised light the mineral key also includes line drawings tables of mineral properties and an interference colour chart to further aid mineral identification. To minimise the chance of misidentification and enable less experienced petrologists to use the key with confidence the key has been arranged to prioritise those properties that are most easily recognised. Designed for simplicity and ease of use it is primarily aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of mineralogy and petrology but should also provide a valuable source of reference for all practising geologists dealing with rock thin sections and their interpretation. | A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

Effective process safety programs consist of three interrelated foundations—safety culture and leadership process safety systems and operational discipline—designed to prevent serious injuries and incidents resulting from toxic releases fires explosions and uncontrolled reactions. Each of these foundations is important and one missing element can cause poor process safety performance. Process Safety: Key Concepts and Practical Approaches takes a systemic approach to the traditional process safety elements that have been identified for effective process safety programs. More effective process safety risk reduction efforts are achieved when these process safety systems based on desired activities and results rather than by specific elements are integrated and organized in a systems framework. This book provides key concepts practical approaches and tools for establishing and maintaining effective process safety programs to successfully identify evaluate and manage process hazards. It introduces process safety systems in a way that helps readers understand the purpose design and everyday use of overall process safety system requirements. Understanding what the systems are intended to achieve understanding why they have been designed and implemented in a specific way and understanding how they should function day-to-day is essential to ensure continued safe and reliable operations. | Process Safety Key Concepts and Practical Approaches

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

This critical and forward-looking book features: An assessment of the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on the telecom industry’s revenue streams IoT-based business models in the telecom industry A PESTLE (political economic socio-cultural technological legal and environmental) analysis of the industry in relation to IoT Key technological drivers. It also features a case study of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) Inc. which highlights IoT-based business models in the industry. The study reveals that telecom operators have started implementing IoT projects however true revenue streams are yet to materialize. Ten IoT-based business models have been identified at BCE Inc. The book points out that operators do leverage existing infrastructure in terms of broadband fiber and mobile connectivity in part and resort to partnerships and acquisitions to acquire much-needed knowledge technology and smart devices. Concerning the effect of IoT on the telecoms’ revenue streams it was revealed that new entrants who are not necessarily in the telecom industry have impacted the old players’ revenue streams. OTT services like YouTube WhatsApp IPTV Netflix are the biggest culprits. Seven key technological drivers for IoT have been identified and include widespread wireless connectivity the availability and affordability of microcontrollers sensors and actuators the decreasing cost of bandwidth the recent implementation of IPv6 and the ongoing development of 5G network as well as the use of cloud computing and analytics. Finally the PESTLE analysis of the industry shows that the lack of a comprehensive political and regulatory framework still slows down IoT deployment. Interoperability security and privacy concerns are other constraints. Conversely general economic conditions in most developed and developing economies are favorable to the advancement of IoT technology. Governments are willing to subsidize R&D and have partnered with the private sector to speed up the roll-out process. | IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies
