La politique de l'eau potable et de l'assainissement en Tunisie a permis au pays d'atteindre le plus haut taux d'acces a l'approvisionnement et a l'assainissement de l'eau parmi les pays de l'Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient, grace a sa politique en matiere d'infrastructures. 96 % des citadins et 52 % de la population rurale ont acces a l'assainissement ameliore. A la fin 2006, l'acces a l'eau potable est presque universel en Tunisie : proche de 100 % dans les zones urbaines et de 90 % dans les zones rurales. La Tunisie offre par ailleurs une bonne qualite de l'eau potable tout au long de l'annee. Le pays connait un faible taux de pertes de 18,2 % en 2004. Данное издание не...

Echo sounding is the technique of using sound pulses directed from the surface or from a submarine vertically down to measure the distance to the bottom by means of sound waves. Echo sounding can also refer to hydroacoustic "echo sounders" defined as active sound in water (sonar) used to study fish. Hydroacoustic assessments have traditionally employed mobile surveys from boats to evaluate fish biomass and spatial distributions. Conversely, fixed-location techniques use stationary transducers to monitor passing fish. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

Eclipse Aviation Corporation was the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based manufacturer of the Eclipse 500 very light jet (VLJ) and also at one time proposed developing the Eclipse 400 single engined jet. The company was founded in 1998 by former Microsoft employee Vern Raburn. Due to Raburn's relationship with Microsoft, Bill Gates was a major stake- holder in the Eclipse project. Production of the Eclipse 500 was halted in mid-2008 due to lack of funding. The company entered an unsuccessful Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2008, which was converted into a Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation procedure in February 2009. In the final Chapter 7 procedure, completed on 20 August 2009, there was only one bidder, a new company formed to acquire the...

The Israeli attack in summer 2006 resulted in widespread destruction and a decline in economic performance caused by the significant damage to Lebanon's productive sectors. Hostilities had hit the cultivated fields and farms and hindered the accessibility to most due to the presence of unexploded ordinances. This book investigates and assesses the impact of the July 2006 war on the agricultural sector, the main source of income for about 30 - 40 percent of the population of Lebanon. The aim of the study was to develop a methodology to estimate the total direct and indirect costs of the war on agricultural productivity in contrast to previous studies which have only focused on direct costs. This book introduces a methodology which helps...

The eddy covariance technique is a prime atmospheric flux measurement technique to measure and calculate vertical turbulent fluxes within atmospheric boundary layers. It is a statistical method used in meteorology and other applications that analyzes high-frequency wind and scalar atmospheric data series, and yields values of fluxes of these properties. Such flux measurements are widely used to estimate momentum, heat, water, and carbon dioxide exchange, as well as exchange of methane and other trace gases. The technique is also used extensively for verification and tuning of global climate models, mesoscale and weather models, complex biogeochemical and ecological models, and remote sensing...

Bond behavior between steel reinforcement and fibre reinforced concrete under elevated temperature of up to 700 C is evaluated using prismatic double pullout (DP) specimens. Five different high strength concrete (HSC) mixtures (with and without fibers) were prepared using basalt aggregate at a w/c ratio of 0.35. All specimens were cured for 28 days in a controlled temperature-water bath at a degree of 40 C. Then specimens were subjected to heating by an electrical furnace. Pullout specimens were tested under pullout to evaluate the bond behavior between steel reinforcement bars and surrounding concrete mixtures before and after heating. Cubes (100mm) cast from same mixture, cured, and heat-treated under similar conditions were also...

In the pulp mill the pulp is mixed, pumped and shear forces are applied to the fiber at different temperatures and under different chemical conditions. Mechanical treatment at the end of cooking and homogenisation at room temperature of kraft pulp fibers increased the number of fiber deformations. The increase in fiber deformations did not reduce single fiber strength but did affect the strength properties of the fiber network. The fiber damage induced by mechanical treatment also decreased the z-directional strength of the fiber network, which was concluded to be due to separation of the structural elements on the fiber surface layer. The separation of structural elements could enhance the irregularities on the fiber surface layer and...

The quest for energy conservation by the manufacturers to reduce carbon footprint of the processes involved in food processing and preservation and the increasing consumers’ demand for fresh-like quality foods have given rise to the development of emerging nonthermal processing technologies such as pulsed electric field (PEF). The PEF technology uses short high voltage pulses to inactivate spoilage organisms and pathogens in liquid foods such as milk or juices. The aim is to produce safe foods with better nutritional and sensory properties in a moderate temperature. The interest in PEF technology is increasing for processing milk or juices as a means of avoiding adverse effects of thermal treatments (e.g. pasteurisation or ultra-high...

The goal of this work was to construct and validate a methodology to accurately, reliably, and affordably meter the amount of electrical energy offset by the collection of solar thermal energy in a solar domestic hot water system. Currently there are thermal energy meters on the market, few in the U.S., more in Europe, but no generally accepted method for using them to meter the thermal energy gain supplied by solar thermal collectors. An experimentally proven metering methodology that instills confidence in consumers, policymakers, utilities, and other stakeholders would simplify participation of domestic solar thermal energy in state or national Green Power and Renewable Portfolio Standards programs. This work closely monitored the...

Over the past few decades, with an increase in technological innovation and world becoming a ‘Global Village', a single interface or product may be used by individuals from varied nationalities. Since the early 1980s, researchers have demonstrated how the perception of icons, symbols, colors, and layout differs across cultures. Various terms like ‘Culturability' and ‘Cultural Markers' have been created to emphasize the relationship between culture and usability. In context of these developments, the experiment explores differences in perceived interface usability based on cultural dimensions as defined by Geert Hofstede.The study was conducted for two cultures, namely, India and United States and user satisfaction as well...

The reactions of two nano-thermites, aluminum (Al) with copper oxide (CuO) and Al with nickel oxide (NiO) are studied. These oxidizers were selected based on their predicted properties: similar flame temperatures but significantly opposing gas generation. Thermal equilibrium calculations predict that Al+CuO will have a high gas output and the Al+NiO will produce little gas. Flame propagation rates and peak pressure measurements were taken for both composites at various equivalence ratios using an instrumented flame tube. Results show that the Al+CuO had approximately twice the propagation rate and peak pressure of the Al+NiO. A DSC/TGA was used to determine the properties of the composites and reactants under low heating rates. Results...

A model of advisory board effectiveness is proposed based on the literature on organizational effectiveness. A case study is presented based on observations and interviews in an engineering school whose advisory board relationship was highly regarded. Results of an in-depth survey of 90 engineering school directors and advisory board members are shown and analyzed. Based on the model, case study and survey results, this research characterizes the operation, makeup, and effectiveness of advisory boards. The study identifies those...
