This book is designed to help scientifically astute
non-specialists understand basic geophysical and computational
fluid dynamics concepts relating to oil spill simulations, and
related modeling issues and challenges. A valuable asset to the
engineer or manager working off-shore in the oil and gas industry,
the authors, a team of renowned geologists and engineers, offer
practical applications to mitigate any offshore spill risks, using
research never before published.
Applications of communication networks lead to radical changes in
human life. Fieldbus technology is part of this development acting
in close connection to systems control and in critical domains.
Equipped with sensitive sensors, fieldbus technology becomes the
backbone of many processes of our daily life. In automation
technology, fieldbus systems are essential parts of modern
applications. In airplanes and in near future also in automobiles,
mechanical control is replaced by "x by wirea systems based on
fieldbusses, a technique more efficient and flexible, but also
cheaper. Moreover, fieldbus technology, used in factories,
hospitals, laboratories for the collection of numerous data,
enables a more efficient and reliable operation of these complex
environments. This book is a collection of articles submitted to
the fieldbus conference FeT'99 in Magdeburg, Germany. The articles
were reviewed by an international program committee which decided
to include some high quality articles not presented at the
conference. The book comprises chapters dealing with important
aspects of fieldbus technology and reflecting areas of main
activity in science and industry: real-time aspects, networking,
management, OPC, system aspects, realization, protocol
specifications (supplements to introduced fieldbus systems),
validation, profile development (i. e. specification of application
semantics) and research projects. A further chapter reports on the
European harmonization project NOAH.
Timely title assembling the combined knowledge of some of the
leading authorities in the field of small fish reproduction - an
important topic for risk assessment and registration of chemical,
agricultural, and pharmaceutical compoundsProvides guidance on the
microscopic structure of living tissue and evaluation of the
reproductive glands of small laboratory fishIncludes
state-of-the-art science along with sufficient anatomical and
physiological background for understanding and interpreting test
resultsHelps standardize the interpretation of results from aquatic
bioassays and field observations, which will also clarify
inconsistencies in the current scientific literature
