Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polar Ice and Global Warming in Cryosphere Regions is based on recent and past climate variabilities data gathered through satellites and spatial-temporal analysis to explain the role of global warming on cryosphere regions such as high-latitude Himalaya, Arctic and Antarctic regions, and the surrounding Southern Ocean and Arctic Ocean. Through several case studies the book describes the atmospheric processes and their interactions with high-latitude regions toward a better understanding of climate variability. Understanding cryosphere regions helps readers develop plausible models for disaster risk management and policy on different polar events. Features Presents a thorough review on climate variability over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, and the impact of climate variability and global warming on cryosphere regions Explains how the inferred climatological environmental conditions using natural archives may shed light on climate scenarios in cryosphere regions Includes case studies on globally connected geoscientific phenomena in the Himalayan, Arctic, and Antarctic regions Discusses the use of natural archives to explain the current climate scenario in the cryosphere regions Intended for researchers, academics, and graduate students following oceanography, meteorology, or environmental studies, and those working on projects related to climate change in governmental organizations, institutions, and global NGOs, this book outlines ways in which readers can initiate plans and policies to help mitigate the effects of global warming in these regions.
Download or read book Aircraft Design for Reduced Climate Impact written by Emily Dallara and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft affect global climate through emissions of greenhouse gases and their precursors and by altering cirrus cloudiness. Changes in operations and design of future aircraft may be necessary to meet goals for limiting climate change. One method for reducing climate impacts involves designing aircraft to fly at altitudes where the impacts of NOx emissions are less severe and persistent contrail formation is less likely. By considering these altitude effects and additionally applying climate mitigation technologies, impacts can be reduced by 45-70% with simultaneous savings in total operating costs. Uncertainty is assessed, demonstrating that relative climate impact savings can be expected despite large scientific uncertainties. Strategies for improving climate performance of existing aircraft are also explored, revealing potential climate impact savings of 20-40%, traded for a 2% increase in total operating costs and reduced maximum range.
Download or read book From Force to Persuasion written by Andrew M. Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of process-relational theology in the tradition of Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) and Charles Hartshorne (1897-2000) is the rejection of coercive omnipotence and the embrace of divine persuasion as the patient and uncontrolling means by which God works with a truly self-creative world. According to Whitehead, Plato's conviction that God is a persuasive agency and not a coercive agency constitutes "one of the greatest intellectual discoveries in the history of religion." According to Hartshorne, omnipotence is a "theological mistake." What is behind these claims? Why do process-relational philosophers and theologians reject divine omnipotence? How have they justified a commitment to divine persuasion, and what kind of theoretical and practical implications are involved? Featuring contributions from key process-relational thinkers, this book situates a shift "from force to persuasion" across multiple thresholds of discourse, from philosophy and theology to spirituality and politics to pluralism, axiology, and apocalypse. It aims to reawaken attention to the operations of divine persuasion as ever-loving and inherently noncoercive, but always at risk in an open and relational universe.
Download or read book Application of Chaos and Fractals to Computer Vision written by Michael E. Farmer and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough investigation of the application of chaos theory and fractal analysis to computer vision. The field of chaos theory has been studied in dynamical physical systems, and has been very successful in providing computational models for very complex problems ranging from weather systems to neural pathway signal propagation. Computer vision researchers have derived motivation for their algorithms from biology and physics for many years as witnessed by the optical flow algorithm, the oscillator model underlying graphical cuts and of course neural networks. These algorithms are very helpful for a broad range of computer vision problems like motion segmentation, texture analysis and change detection. The contents of this book include chapters in biological vision systems, foundations of chaos and fractals, behavior of images and image sequences in phase space, mathematical measures for analyzing phase space, applications to pre-attentive vision and applications to post-attentive vision. This book is intended for graduate students, upper division undergraduates, researchers and practitioners in image processing and computer vision. The readers will develop a solid understanding of the concepts of chaos theory and their application to computer vision. Readers will be introduced to a new way of thinking about computer vision problems from the perspective of complex dynamical systems. This new approach will provide them a deeper understanding of the various phenomena present in complex image scenes.

Download or read book Coastal Septic Systems and Submarine Groundwater Discharge written by Nicholas Reed de Sieyes and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: is a numerical investigation of groundwater flow at the land-sea interface forced by precipitation and evapotranspiration typical of the Mediterranean climate of coastal California. A numerical groundwater model was developed using the variable density groundwater flow code SEAWAT-2000 to examine the influence of seasonally variable recharge conditions typical of coastal California on the magnitude and timing of fresh submarine groundwater discharge from a generic coastal aquifer with a constant head (non-tidal) ocean boundary. Model dimensions and hydrogeologic characteristics were chosen based on a combination of observations from field studies at Stinson Beach, California, and published numerical investigations of coastal groundwater flow. Average monthly recharge was calculated from historical precipitation records and potential evapotranspiration rates calculated from climatological observations made near the field site. Calculated recharge was approximately sinusoidal across the year, with positive recharge rates dominated by precipitation during the rainy winter and negative recharge rates dominated by evapotranspiration during the hot, precipitation-free summer. Rates of fresh discharge from the model aquifer to the ocean exhibited similar temporal characteristics for two modeled scenarios, a first including a constant head fresh landward boundary condition and a second including a constant flux fresh landward boundary condition. Discharge in both models peaked in January during the period of maximum precipitation and recharge, and declined until reaching a minimum in September, two months after the minimum recharge period in July. Minimum simulated discharge rates for two simulated scenarios were 17% and 18% lower in September than the maximum simulated discharges in winter. Monthly mean discharge from Lagunitas Creek, a creek near Stinson Beach, reached maximum and minimum values in February and September, respectively. The exponential decline in creek discharge was fast compared to the decline in modeled SGD, however, suggesting that fresh SGD and associated nutrient fluxes may play a particularly important role in coastal ecosystems in early summer when surface water discharge has nearly reached a minimum but discharge of substantial quantities of fresh groundwater is still substantial. The final research chapter "Nitrogen, fecal indicator bacteria, and coliphage attenuation and flux from a septic leach field to the coastal ocean" describes a two-year field study to measure the flux and attenuation of nitrogen, fecal indicator bacteria, and bacteriophage in groundwater adjacent to a large coastal septic system in Central California. The study was carried out at Stinson Beach Park, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, sixteen kilometers northwest of the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. Long-term measurements of septic effluent quality and volumetric discharge to the leach field, synoptic DC resistivity profiling of the saltwater/freshwater interface, continuous measurements of hydraulic head in the coastal aquifer, and the installation and subsequent monitoring of a dense array of multi-level monitoring wells adjacent to the leach field for chemical and microbiological constituents were carried out. Our results indicate a nitrogen- and inorganic carbon-rich plume of septic effluent flowing from the leach field through the beach to the subterranean estuary, or the mixing zone of fresh and saline groundwaters. Attenuation of E. coli and coliphage was complete within the vadose zone and the first few meters of transport. Enterococci were detected throughout the well network during one sampling event during which no attenuation was observed, and no attenuation of total nitrogen was observed along the flowpath during the experiment. Median estimates of total nitrogen fluxing toward the ocean downgradient from the leach field ranged from 1.6 to 70.6 moles day-1, depending on season and transect location. Except for
