The health of the Chesapeake Bay has deteriorated substantially because of nutrient pollution. Three main sources of the pollution are agriculture, air pollution, and sewage treatment facilities. This book focused on the nutrient pollution caused by sewage treatment facilities. In the Chesapeake Bay region, there are approximately 300 significant publicly owned treatment facilities that discharge over 0.5 MGD. It is estimated by the Chesapeake Bay Program that approximately 285 million pounds of nitrogen was discharged into the Bay in 2000, reducing DO levels, which in turn adversely affects the Bay ecosystem. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of using land application of treated wastewater effluent to reduce...

Leachate management technology has evolved over time, varying with the type and complexity of leachate. The technologies in temperate countries may not satisfactorily operate under tropical conditions. It is important to prevent the volume of leachate generated to reduce the cost of treatment and to minimize pollution. Leacheate treatment is expensive and the method of treatment may be ineffective. This book discussed various landfill cover options to provide an efficient technology to minimise the volume of leacheate generated. The models described are based on VHELP software which incorporates the latest technology for volume reduction. The contents include an overview of the final cover systems, and factors affecting volume of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Lane hydrogen producer was an apparatus for hydrogen production based on the steam-iron process and water gas invented in 1903 by Howard Lane. The first Lane hydrogen producer was demonstrated in St. Louis in 1907 to inflate balloons for the Gordon- Bennet race. Different Lane plants were in use around the world to inflate Zeppelins and military balloons.Where hydrogen was commonly produced with the single retort like the Messerschmitt and the Bamag type, Lane introduced the multiple retort type. In the Lane generator water gas was used to heat the retorts up to 600-800 °C after which water gas-air was used in the retorts Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A lantern is a portable lighting device used to illuminate broad areas. Lanterns may also be used for signaling, to guide your path somewhere or as general light sources for camping. In the older days it would have been used like a torch. Dim varieties are often used for decoration. The term "lantern" is also used more generically to mean a 'light source' or the enclosure for a light source, i.e., the housing for the lamp and lens — that is the top section — of a lighthouse.

Decreasing time and costs is a major objective in many businesses today. Including modularity in the early design phases can effectively decrease time spent on and costs associated with a project. The task of identifying modules within a product early in the design process (when decisions are less expensive) is made less daunting by using the techniques of functional modeling and module heuristics. This work discusses the results of the efforts to verify the module heuristics on large products. Observations on needed modifications to the functional modeling technique and original module heuristics are reported along with an investigation of using potential risk statements to formulate modules. It is the finding of this work that the...

He developed a horse drawn monorail system invented by Henry Robinson Palmer in 1821 further. The most famous Lartigue railway was the Listowel and Ballybunion Railway in Ireland. Lartigue had seen camels in Algeria carrying heavy loads balanced in panniers on their backs. This inspired him to design a new type of railway. Instead of two parallel tracks on the ground, it had a single rail sitting above the sand and held at waist height on A-shaped trestles. The carriages sat astride the trestles like panniers.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A laser designator is a laser light source which is used to designate a target. Laser designators provide targeting for laser guided bombs, missiles, or precision artillery munitions, such as the Paveway series of bombs, Lockheed-Martin's Hellfire, or the Copperhead round, respectively. When a target is marked by a designator, the beam is invisible and does not shine continuously. Instead, a series of coded pulses of laser-light are fired. These signals bounce off the target into the sky, where they are detected by the seeker on the laser guided munition, which steers itself towards the centre of the reflected signal. Unless the people being targeted possess laser detection equipment or can...

To meet the ignition system needs of future lean- burn natural gas engines a diode side pumped, passively Q-switched, Nd:YAG laser was developed and tested. Laboratory experimentation used a wide range of input parameters that when combined produced brilliant sparks in air. The results show a strong dependence of the output on the output coupler reflectivity, Q-switch initial transmission, and gain media dopant concentration. The results show peak power levels of up to 3MW and peak focal intensities of up to 560 GW/cm2. Engine testing was performed on a Ricardo Proteus single cylinder research engine. The engine testing consisted of a comparison of the in-cylinder, and emissions behavior. All engine parameters were kept as constant and...

Lasers are an interesting option as a light source for projection displays, because of their high directivity. As a result, a high brightness light source with a small beam profile, a good beam quality and good collimation characteristics is obtained. This allows the application of small light engines and display panels without loosing much intensity. As a result, a small and quite cheap projector can be gained. If the panel costs are still too high, laser sources can also be used to realize even cheaper architectures that use 1D display modules or a flying spot scanner. Additionally, the laser beam is highly monochromatic, so a projection unit using three primaries can cover a large colour gamut. The intention of this book is to give an...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), also known as laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) is a technique for measuring the direction and speed of fluids (or any other material that is processed like metal, paper etc) like air and water. In its simplest form, LDV crosses two beams of collimated, monochromatic, and coherent laser light in the flow of the fluid being measured. The two beams are usually obtained by splitting a single beam, thus ensuring coherency between the two. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

We then can consider informal help networks, email circulation lists, Information Routing Groups, even the Internet as a lateral media.Various of the great Enlightenment figures could be seen as lateral mediarists in that they wrote and copied ideas amongst the great thinkers of that era, a bit like the Internet but slower and on parchment.The Lunar Men or Lunar Society were a classic Lateral Media of the 19th century, bringing together scientists, engineers, chemists, and manufacturers leading to many technical and social...
