Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Vertebrate Evolution From Origins to Dinosaurs and Beyond

Vertebrate Evolution From Origins to Dinosaurs and Beyond

The first vertebrate animals appear in the fossil record over 520 million years ago. These lineages diversified and eventually crept ashore leading to further evolutionary divergence and the appearance of the familiar charismatic vertebrates of today. From the tiniest fishes diminutive salamanders and miniaturized lizards to gargantuan dinosaurs enormous brontotheres and immense whales vertebrates have captured the imagination of the lay public as well as the most erudite academics. They are the among the best studied organisms. This book employs beautifully rendered illustrations of these diverse lineages along with informative text to document a rich evolutionary history. The prolific and best-selling author reveals much of the latest findings regarding the phylogenetic history of vertebrates without overwhelming the reader with pedantry and excessive jargon. Simultaneously comprehensive and authoritative while being approachable and lucid this book should appeal to both the scholar the student and the fossil enthusiast.

Dopamine Endocrine and Oncogenic Functions

Dopamine Endocrine and Oncogenic Functions

Dopamine is a small molecule traditionally regarded as a brain-derived neuronal modulator implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Outside the brain dopamine fulfills all the criteria of a circulating hormone which affects normal and abnormal functions of multiple organs and regulatory systems and is also involved in many aspects of cancer formation and progression. This book provides a much needed systematic account of dopamine as an endocrine and autocrine/paracrine hormone and fills a major gap in the overall understanding of the production distribution and actions of this very important molecule. Key Features:Explores the many different faces of dopamine as autocrine paracrine and endocrine moleculeDocuments the adverse effects of antipsychotics on dopamine functionsReviews the many ways dopamine affects the cardiovascular renal and reproductive systemsProvides updates on receptor oligomerization and signalingExamines the role of dopamine in tumorigenesisRelated TitlesJones S. ed.

Finite Element Analyses of Eddy Current Effects in Turbogenerators

Finite Element Analyses of Eddy Current Effects in Turbogenerators

Eddy currents so‐called owing to their general shape like eddies manifest as induced currents in all metallic – magnetic or non‐magnetic – regions exposed to time varying or generally alternating magnetic fields whether of power or higher frequencies. It is imperative to apply appropriate analyses to assess the magnitude and consequences of induced eddy currents as required. Therefore book aims at a comprehensive study of various aspects of eddy currents from a detailed account of the basic phenomenon to their utilization in various applications and their detrimental effects esp. in large Turbogenerators. It gives detailed description of the finite‐element technique(s) developed by the author to analyse the steady‐state and transient heating of key regions of turbogenerators of ratings from 120 MW to 500 MW when exposed to negative‐sequence currents under unbalanced fault conditions. | Finite Element Analyses of Eddy Current Effects in Turbogenerators
