Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO YOU BELIEVE EXCEPTIONAL DRYING RESULTS START WITH SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND UNDERSTANDINGS? Of course you do Drying success is not solely the result of the tool you buy or the certificate on your wall. A adrying goda emerges when they apply the physics that drive water to change phase from a solid or liquid to a gas and understand how to assess, manipulate and control the water molecule a regardless of its phase. However, over the course of 3 decades, compromises in accuracy and agenda driven messages have found their way into some formal education programs and even the industry Standards. These compromises and flawed messages are well documented, yet they are persistently taught as fact to the innocent students and even the consuming public and insurance representatives. Structural restorative drying leaders identify and reject such propaganda and compromises. Leadership in Restorative Drying is the first comprehensive resource guide to clearly identify several of the scientific errors that permeate the structural restorative drying industry, and substitute it with easy to understand explanations and descriptions. What results? Leaders in restorative drying services are able to engineer an effective drying protocol that accommodates ALL drying strategies a refrigerant dehumidification, desiccant dehumidification, heaters, air movement / exchangea why a even the choice to open a window. It's not the tool that dries the structurea it's the restorer's skill in the use of their tools. Courageous leaders are invited to read this book. Stand up and be identified as a bearer of accurate information. Lead in your marketplace. - What REALLY dictates the rate of evaporation? (You may be surprised ) - Do you have a drying plan that defines your daily drying objectives in your drying strategy? - Drying is not entirely about psychrometry (Does that make you a heretic?) - Scientific principles and formulas that dictate how much air movement you need. (This WILL surprise you ) - What's the trick to drying dense materials like wood and concrete? (It's not a specific tool) - Multi-million dollar drying jobs.

Download or read book Extreme Weather Hits Home written by John C. Banta and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know how to prepare our homes for each seasonal change, but do we know how to prepare for climate change? Violent weather events like floods, tornadoes, ice storms and hurricanes only tell part of the story. Climate change is frequently more subtle but its effects on our homes and properties can still be devastating. Nearly 50 percent of North America has a potential for structural damage from shifting moisture in expansive clay soils; a condition that is already costing billions of dollars each year. Humidity is projected to increase, trapping moisture in wall cavities and resulting in deterioration. As the climate changes and moisture levels adjust, there are a number of proactive steps that can be taken to prevent or lessen expensive repairs. Extreme Weather is the only book of its kind that shows how to protect your home or business from climate change, by focusing on the following areas: Risk and causal assessment, due to region and soil Extreme weather’s rapid and slow effects Site, foundation, wall, and roof considerations and modifications Insurance options Anticipated changes for the United States, Canada and Mexico Our homes are one of the most expensive investments we will ever make. They are also our refuge from the elements, and we must protect them so they can protect us. This book is a valuable resource for all property owners.

As such it expands and updates this work, to provide a manual of assessment techniques of flood risk management benefits, indirect benefits, and coastal erosion risk management benefits. It has three key aims. First it provides methods and data which can be used for the practical assessment of schemes and policies. Secondly it describes new research to update the data and improve techniques. Thirdly it explains the limitations and complications of Benefit-Cost Analysis, to guide decision-making on investment in river and coastal risk management schemes.

Volume 1: Background, Resources, and Tools, arranged in 5 parts, begins with chapters on the science of toxicology, its history, and informatics framework in Part 1. Part 2 continues with chapters organized by more specific subject such as cancer, clinical toxicology, genetic toxicology, etc. The categorization of chapters by resource format, for example, journals and newsletters, technical reports, organizations constitutes Part 3. Part 4 further considers toxicology's presence via the Internet, databases, and software tools. Among the miscellaneous topics in the concluding Part 5 are laws and regulations, professional education, grants and funding, and patents. Volume 2: The Global Arena offers contributed chapters focusing on the toxicology contributions of over 40 countries, followed by a glossary of toxicological terms and an appendix of popular quotations related to the field.The book, offered in both print and electronic formats, is carefully structured, indexed, and cross-referenced to enable users to easily find answers to their questions or serendipitously locate useful knowledge they were not originally aware they needed.
