Industry wastewater is a major contributor to environmental
pollution with chemicals such as dyes, acids, fungicides, and more
creating a threat to the environment. Nanocomposites of
heterogeneous photocatalysis can be used to cure such problems due
to its efficiency and ease of use, as well as the fact that it
turns toxic chemicals completely to carbon dioxide and inorganic
acids. With toxic chemicals posing a tremendous threat to
ecological wellbeing and human health, it is integral that a
variety of nanocomposites are studied for their use in the
degradation of toxic and hazardous chemicals. Innovative
Nanocomposites for the Remediation and Decontamination of
Wastewater describes the synthesis of nanomaterials and its
application for the protection of the environment. It presents
studies on the photodegradation of the various toxic and hazardous
chemicals by different nanocomposites, as well as the
decontamination of bodies of water through the use of various
nanocomposites. Covering topics such as dye degradation, novel
biomaterials, and structural modification, this premier reference
source is a vital resource for environmental scientists,
construction managers, compliance officers, biochemists,
biophysicists, conservation scientists, hydrologists,
microbiologists, libraries, students and educators of higher
education, researchers, and academicians.
The Second Edition of the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation,
and Sensors Handbook brings together all aspects of the design and
implementation of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors.
Reflecting the current state of the art, it describes the use of
instruments and techniques for performing practical measurements in
engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences and
discusses processing systems, automatic data acquisition, reduction
and analysis, operation characteristics, accuracy, errors,
calibrations, and the incorporation of standards for control
purposes. Organized according to measurement problem, the
Electromagnetic, Optical, Radiation, Chemical, and Biomedical
Measurement volume of the Second Edition: Contains contributions
from field experts, new chapters, and updates to all 98 existing
chapters Covers sensors and sensor technology, time and frequency,
signal processing, displays and recorders, and optical, medical,
biomedical, health, environmental, electrical, electromagnetic, and
chemical variables A concise and useful reference for engineers,
scientists, academic faculty, students, designers, managers, and
industry professionals involved in instrumentation and measurement
research and development, Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors
Handbook, Second Edition: Electromagnetic, Optical, Radiation,
Chemical, and Biomedical Measurement provides readers with a
greater understanding of advanced applications.
While megacities are a reality, so too are the environmental
disturbances that they cause, including air and water pollution.
These disturbances can be modeled with technology and data obtained
by modern methods, such as by drone, to monitor cities in near
real-time as well as help to simulate risk situations and propose
future solutions. These solutions can be inspired by the
theoretical principles of sustainable urbanism. Methods and
Applications of Geospatial Technology in Sustainable Urbanism is a
collection of innovative research that combines theory and practice
on analyzing urban environments and applying sustainability
principles to them. Highlighting a wide range of topics including
geographic information systems, internet mapping technologies, and
green urbanism, this book is ideally designed for urban planners,
public administration officials, landscape analysts, geographers,
engineers, entrepreneurs, academicians, researchers, and students.
Land, as a fundamental resource in regional development, provides
major opportunities for farming, housing, urban planning, and
financing. In order to meet the requirements of the new era, every
state has developed and implemented a series of policies according
to its national specificities and to the international regulations
and trends. Geospatial Technologies for Effective Land Governance
is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the
application of the use of GNSS, remote sensing, and GIS. While
highlighting topics such as crop management, multispectral images,
and irrigation, this publication explores land administration,
encompassing both cadastral systems and land registration, as well
as the methods of land governance strategies. This book is ideally
designed for researchers, agricultural professionals, engineers,
environmentalists, land developers, educators, students, and
policymakers seeking current research on land and land-based
conflicts in urban and rural communities.
A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement tools,
techniques, and applications--Volume 2
"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express
it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of
knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the
stage of science." "-- Lord Kelvin"
Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and
job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state
requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track
progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits,
they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful,
useful data.
The" Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering" is the
most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering
measurements--beyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedic in
scope, "Volume 2 "spans several disciplines--Materials Properties
and Testing, Instrumentation, and Measurement Standards--and
covers: Viscosity MeasurementCorrosion MonitoringThermal
Conductivity of Engineering MaterialsOptical Methods for the
Measurement of Thermal ConductivityProperties of Metals and
AlloysElectrical Properties of PolymersTesting of Metallic
MaterialsTesting and Instrumental Analysis for Plastics

Vital for engineers, scientists, and technical managers in
industry and government, "Handbook of Measurement in Science and
Engineering" will also prove ideal for members of major engineering
associations and academics and researchers at universities and
laboratories.
