This book is an interdisciplinary and accessible guide to environmental physics. It allows readers to gain a more complete understanding of physical process and their interaction with ecological ones underpin important environmental issues. The book covers a wide range of topics within environmental physics, including: * natural and anthropogenic canopies, including forests, urban or wavy terrains;* the fundamentals of heat transfer;* atmospheric flow dynamics;* global carbon budget;* climate change; and* the relevance of biochar as a global carbon sink. Including solved exercises, numerous illustrations and tables, as well as an entire chapter focused on applications, book is of interest to researchers, students and industrial engineers alike.
Bayesian nonparametric and semiparametric mixture models have become extremely popular in the last 10 years because they provide flexibility and interpretability while preserving computational simplicity. This book is a contribution to this growing literature, discussing the design of models for collections of distributions and their application to density estimation and nonparametric regression. All methods introduced in this book are discussed in the context of complex scientific applications in public health, epidemiology and finance.
During the Trump administration, more people sought sanctuary in churches in Philadelphia than any other city in the United States. The city was also on the front lines of progressive policy making, defending its sanctuary policies in federal court. In this collection of essays and interviews, a diverse set of authors examine the promise and limits of sanctuary. Contributors include Carmela Apolonio Hernandez, who spent over three years living in sanctuary to resist deportation, community organizers who work to build a more just and inclusive city, and leading academics who explore the origins of sanctuary and its intersections with the workplace, policing, and university campuses. Collectively, these authors offer a roadmap for how sanctuary is created and sustained and argue for a future in which no human being is illegal.
