This book gives an account of geological aspects of windblown material. Aeolian processes play an important role in modifying the surface of the Earth, and they are also active on Mars. Additionally, they are thought to occur on Venus and possibly Titan as well. The authors desc…
Buildings can breathe naturally, without the use of mechanical systems, if you design the spaces properly. This accessible and thorough guide shows you how in over 260 colour diagrams and photographs illustrating case studies and CFD simulations.
Attempts to design public markets in Oman failed to capture the social and cultural essence of historical markets in the region. The versatility of use and utilization of site resources in public markets diminished due to focusing primarily on the commercial aspect and the utili…
The current practice in wind resistant design in the United States is to proportion and detail the lateral force resisting system to remain elastic, even for extremely-rare large-magnitude windstorms. The objective of this study is to determine the applicability of inelastic des…
This thesis presents investigations into the effect of modern wind farms on grid side short circuits using extensive real time digital simulation. Particular reference is made to adaptive autoreclosing algorithms using artificial neural networks. A section of 132kV transmission …
Power system islanding is gaining increasing interest as a way to maintain power supply continuity. However, before this operation become viable, the technical challenges associated with its operation must first be addressed. A possible solution to one of these challenges, out-o…
This practical textbook introduces the fundamental physics behind radar measurements, to guide students and practitioners in the proper interpretation of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity and dual-polarization imagery. Operational applications are explored, such as how radar …
This practical full-color textbook introduces the fundamental physics behind radar measurements and their meteorological interpretation, for students, researchers, and practitioners.
