Mankind has a fascination with measurement. Down the centuries we have produced a plethora of incompatible and duplicatory systems for measuring everything from the width of an Egyptian pyramid to the concentration of radioactivity near a nuclear reactor and the value of the fine structure constant. With the introduction first of the metric system and of its successor the Système International d'Unités (SI), the scientific community has established a standard method of measurement based on only seven core units. The Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units, Weights and Measures converts the huge variety of units from all over the world in every period of recorded history into units of the SI. Featuring: - An A - Z of conversion tables for over 10,000 units of measurements. - Tables of the fundamental constants of nature with their units. - Listings of professional societies, and national standardization bodies for easy reference. - An extensive bibliography detailing further reading on the multifarious aspects of measurement and its units. This huge work is simply a "must have" for any reference library frequented by scientists of any discipline or by those with historical interests in units of measurement such as archaeologists.

1.2 How to Use This Book Chapter 2 contains a brief history of the metric system, including the organization and a complete description of SI Units (Systeme International d'Unites). Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of a considerable number of other systems of measurement. This includes several alternative modern systems of measurement, some of which are still in widespread use (e.g. imperial, US, cgs, MTS, FPS). Finally, there is a description of systems used in antiquity (e.g. ancient Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Persian, Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Arabic), as well as older national or regional systems (e.g. French, Italian, German, Japanese). Chapter 4, which forms the most important part of the book, consists of an exhaustive set of conversion tables. This chapter covers the units in alphabe tical order. Each unit is fully described as follows: name, symbol(s), physical quantity, dimension, conversion factor, notes and definitions. The section covers some 2000 units, each with a precise conversion factor. Chapter 5 enables a unit to be identified from its area of application. For this purpose, units are classed in groups. It contains thirty five conversion tables ranging from mass to nuclear quantities. In order to facilitate use of this manual, several supplementary sections have been added to aid the researcher. These include tables of fundamental math ematical and physical constants to allow very precise calculation of conver sions. These form the sixth chapter of the book.

This third edition of Renewable Energy is undoubtedly one of the most complete accounts of the subject, from source through to extraction and use. The book is academically rigorous, but accessible.The author first describes the effect of the sun on the atmosphere and the creation of wind and waves, including the effects of global warming. For each type of renewable energy, from direct solar radiation to wind and biomass, there follows a technical description of the devices that can be used to transform the energy into useful forms. The author explores new solar cell types, including polymer and organic cells, new biofuel processes and new wave energy devices.The final part of the book loos at social and economic aspects of renewable energy – the costs of our current fuel bills versus new energy sources, and the difference it could make to developing as well as developed countries. The concept of whole new energy systems based around wind, solar, and other energies is put into a real-life context. Key features include:·Reference paths: the reader may follow the general process from source through to distribution, or concentrate on a specific type of energy.·The material is divided into undergraduate text and advanced options.·Details the significant expansion of the field since the publication of the previous edition.·Updated material includes offshore wind technologies, polymer and organic solar cells, new developments in hydrogen storage, pipeline transmission, biofuel processes, and wave energy devices, evaluation of biomass options, and an outlook on the renewable energy market.* The only rigorous theory and applications book available * Provides the principles of renewable energy flows/sources and energy conversion processes* Details the significant expansion of the field since the publication of the previous editions

The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include: Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil State Variables for Unsaturated Soils Measurement and Estimation of State Variables Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.
