Comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and sediment transport in rivers treating both physical principles and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity. Includes 1-D, 2-D (both depth- and width-averaged) and 3-D models, as well as the integration and coupling of these models. Contains a broad selection of numerical methods for open-channel flows, such as the SIMPLE(C) algorithms on staggered and non-staggered grids, the projection method, and the stream function and vorticity method. The state-of-the-art in sediment transport modeling approaches is described, such as

What will China look like in 2000? Tectonic forces are at work and its seeming stability has been largely lost after Tiananmen Square. Changing political, social, economic, intellectual and cultural conditions are transforming China and its neighbours with a majority Chinese population. The authors in this book show what has been going on and what has been saved but is evolving. As communism did not erase the past, so new experiences build on the past and tease out newness with great resemblances. Modernity takes many forms, memory repressed for a time may reassert itelf; myth, the invention o

The manufacturing sector has been facing major challenges as it undergoes revolutionary changes fuelled by new and sophisticated demands from cutsomers, global competition, distribution of manufacturing and marketing activities, and technological advances. In order to address these challenges, manufacturing enterprises need to change the way they do business and adopt innovative technologies and solutions to increase their responsiveness and production efficiency. Information technology plays an essential role in this process. Current manufacturing systems are collections of complex systems

In the search for an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, APP is a unique model protein that illustrates the wide array of basic and sophisticated characterization techniques available. Exploring a variety of biological techniques to clarify the structure and function of this transmembrane protein, this text presents each method with detailed, step-by-step protocols to achieve reproducible results and provide a framework for studying other membrane proteins.

The process planning and scheduling issues of intelligent and distributed manufacturing are crucial nowadays due to the need for enterprises to be adaptive, re-configurable, collaborative and flexible enough to support the emergence of worldwide competition and dynamic and mass-customized markets. With this increasing dynamism of decentralized manufacturing systems and processes, more effective and efficient decision-making techniques are needed. Unlike traditional methodologies for rather centralized and static process planning and scheduling, Process Planning and Scheduling for Distribut
