Download or read book Primer on Condition Curves for Water Mains written by U S Environmental Protection Agency and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of economical tools to prioritize pipe renewal based upon structural condition and remaining asset life is essential to effectively manage water infrastructure assets for both large and small diameter pipes. One tool that may facilitate asset management is a condition curve. A condition curve is a graphical representation of the condition of a pipeline versus time. This report provides a review of the state-of-the-technology for structural/physical condition curves for water mains. Various models are summarized such as break frequency curves, deterioration/decay/survival curves, condition rating curves and condition rating indices, and serviceability/performance curves. This report also provides new case study information on how condition curves are used by utilities for managing their water infrastructure based upon a survey of nine utilities. The utilities that were surveyed for these case studies used methods that ranged from very detailed asset management programs that combine inspection, monitoring, and test data with their pipeline condition assessment program to simple analyses of pipe break history to prioritize pipeline renewal activities. The review also discusses short-term and long-term research needs for further development of a performance-based buried infrastructure asset management approach to improve the quality and quantity of data used by all utilities.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Urban Water Governance written by Thomas Bolognesi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of urban water governance. Of the many growing challenges presented by rapid urbanization, water governance is a critical one and while urban water governance is now regarded as a critical field of research, the literature is fragmented. For the first time, this handbook brings together urban water governance research, containing interdisciplinary contributions from established and emerging scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. It addresses the key questions of how urban water governance works, how is it shaped, and what the impacts are. The handbook's structure offers a progressive entry into the complexity of urban water governance. Starting with technical dimensions, the handbook addresses supply and demand, wastewater, and sanitation. It then considers regulation and economic factors, examining water utilities and services. Political processes, and the actors involved, are addressed and the handbook finishes with a part focusing on governance and sustainability, where chapters address critically important topics such as access to water, water safety, and water security. This handbook is essential reading for students, scholars, and professionals interested in urban water governance, urban studies, and water resource management and sustainability more broadly.

Download or read book A Pharmacology Primer written by Terry P. Kenakin and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-08-14 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pharmacology Primer: Techniques for More Effective and Strategic Drug Discovery, Sixth Edition features the latest research surrounding the application of pharmacology in drug discovery in an effort to equip readers with a deeper understanding of complex and rapid changes in this field. Written by well-respected pharmacologist, Terry P. Kenakin, this primer is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in drug discovery. This edition has been reorganized for better flow and clarity and includes material on new technologies for screening (virtual, DNA encoded libraires, fragment-based) and a major section on phenotypic (target agnostic) screening for new leads and determination of drug targets. With full color illustrations as well as new examples throughout, this book remains a top reference for all industry and academic scientists and students directly involved in drug discovery or pharmacologic research. New material includes a discussion of the determination of target engagement, including numerous new ways to demonstrate the physical interaction of molecules with drug targets and new drug candidates such a mRNA, gene therapy, antibodies and information on CRISPR and genomics. Highlights changes surrounding the strategy of drug discovery, providing a comprehensive reference with advances in the methods involved in lead optimization and more effective drug discovery Includes multiple new sections on screening, phenotypic (target agnostic) screening for new leads, and determination of new drug targets Illustrates the application of rapid, inexpensive assays to predict activity in the therapeutic setting, showing data outcomes and the limitations inherent in interpreting this data Includes test questions and answers
