This Committee report, "Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Technology: International Experience", was prepared by the Task Committee on Pumped Storage, Energy Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Because of the varied functions that a pumped storage project can provide to an electric system, interest in pumped storage is growing throughout the world. Pumped storage continues to be a valuable and reliable generating resource despite a changing electric generation mix, substantial changes in generation fuel prices, and major advancements in gas turbine technology. This report describes

More than any other profession, civil engineers are concerned with infrastructure, the fabric of urban life. Planning for maintenance and expansion of the nation’s infrastructure is the subject of this book. The focus of this manual is the practical use of planning tools to solve real life problems. It provides the reader with a broad overview of the planning process and what factors or issues are of particular concern. The first three chapters deal with planning and the planning process in general, describing the process that any planning study must follow from data collection to implem

"Civil Works for Hydroelectric Facilities: Guidelines for Life Extension and Upgrade" explores methodologies and techniques for applying rehabilitation engineering to aging hydroelectric infrastructure. This report provides guidelines for life extension and upgrade of hydroelectric works for use by owners, operators, regulators, and engineers considering infrastructure rehabilitation or replacement. Presented by the Hydropower Task Committee of ASCE’s Energy Division, this book features relevant case studies that illustrate solutions for improving the performance and extending the servic

The IWA Task Group for Mathematical Modelling of Anaerobic Digestion Processes was created with the aim to produce a generic model and common platform for dynamic simulations of a variety of anaerobic processes. This book presents the outcome of this undertaking and is the result of four years collaborative work by a number of international experts from various fields of anaerobic process technology. The purpose of this approach is to provide a unified basis for anaerobic digestion modelling. It is hoped this will promote increased application of modelling and simulation as a tool for research

The Urban Task Force, headed by Lord Rogers, was established by the Department of Environment, Transport and Regions, (DETR) to stimulate debate about our urban environment and to identify ways of creating urban areas in direct response to people’s needs and aspirations. Their findings, conclusions and recommendations are presented in a final report to Government Ministers in Summer 99 and form the basis of this important new illustrated book.

This compact, portable quick-reference handbook from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force offers evidence-based recommendations on the use of clinical preventive services in adult and pediatric patient care. It provides specific guidelines for counseling, testing, and interventions based on age, gender, and risk factors for disease. A letter-grading system is used to indicate which preventive services are strongly recommended, recommended, not recommended, or not supported by sufficient evidence. Topics covered include cancer screening, heart and vascular diseases, infectious diseases, inju
