This book deals with the development of temperate coastal sand dunes and the way these have been influenced by human activity. The different states in which the habitat exists both for the beach/foredune and inland dune are reviewed against the pressures exerted upon them. Options for management are considered and the likely consequences of taking a particular course of action highlighted. These options include traditional approaches to the conservation and management of wildlife and landscapes as well as habitat restoration. The way the value of the areas changes under different management regimes is considered mainly from an environmental perspective.

Book Description

This book entitled "Physical and Mathematical Modeling of Earth and Environment Processes" is the result of a collaborative work after the 4th international scientific youth forum held at the IPMech RAS on November 1–3, 2018. The book includes theoretical and experimental studies of processes in the atmosphere, oceans, the lithosphere and their interaction; environmental issues; problems of human impact on the environment; methods of geophysical research. A special focus is given to the extraction of hydrocarbon resources, including unconventional sources. This book also focuses on new approaches to the development of hydrocarbon fields, very important in today's geopolitical conditions. The book presents new results of the experimental and theoretical modeling of deformation, fracture and filtration processes in the rocks in connection with issues of creating scientific fundamentals for new hydrocarbon production technologies.

Book Description

Since mathematical principles have remained the same all throughout the world for centuries, Mathematics has been considered by many the “universal language of numbers”. For some, Mathematics causes anxiety or fear because it seems difficult to understand. One of the objectives of this eBook is to make the material more visually, technologically and multiculturally attractive, with the aid of videos, pictures, games, animations and interactive exercises so that Mathemat-ics can become more interesting and accessible for today’s worldwide students since “evidence is mounting to support technology advocates’ claims that 21st-century information and communication tools, as well as more traditional computer-assisted instructional applications, can positively influence student learning processes and outcomes (Cradler, 2002)”. The role of mathematics in our modern world is crucial for today’s global communication and for a multitude of scientific and technological applications and advances.The author brings a variety of expertise to the subject of Algebra, and includes many illustrated material, equations, tables, figures, and other aids that help understanding the text. Unfamiliar terms and concepts are highlighted and defined in a glossary, and at the end of each chapter website links are provided to help students to enrich their knowledge and to help them practice their skills. The author starts the journey of the eBook from the study of sets, numbers and mathematical logic to introduce the student to arithmetic and the study of sequences. Previous knowledge will allow the student to have the most basic fundamentals to understand terms related to probability and statistics. Finally, the student will acquire the essential knowledge of the fundamental concepts of algebra to apply it to the study of functions and their graphs along with the essence of algebra, solving equations. In the modern world, Algebra is a very important day-to-day tool. It is not only a subject used in a math course but can be applied to many real-life situations. It is not only used by people in daily life, but by many professionals that use it in a wide variety of areas, such as architecture, natural sciences, economy, engineering among others. And the fact is that, as Algebra has advanced in the past, it will continue doing so in the days to come, fulfilling people’s worldwide needs in a greater way.

Book Description

Asserting that Coetzee’s representation of the body as subject to dismemberment counters the colonial representation of the other’s body as exotic and erotically-charged, this study inspects the ambivalence pertaining to Coetzee’s embodied representation of the other and reveals the risks that come with such contrapuntal reiteration. Through the study of the narrative identity of the colonial other and her/his body’s representation, the book also unveils the author’s own authorial identity exposed through the repetitive narrative patterns and characterization choices.

Book Description

Mathematics is, in many ways, the most generic and abstract of all systems of human thought. Once Newton found he could describe dynamics and planetary motions using purely mathematical laws and deductive processes, he understood that there was no limit to what else could be explained — given time and ingenuity every aspect of Nature would find its mathematical roots. Newton himself repeatedly stated how aspects of chemistry, biology and even human thought could be accessed by his method. He also acknowledged how immense the task would be, involving many contributors over many centuries, however once the system was in place, it could be extended indefinitely. Although not fully understood during his lifetime, the Newtonian method has since been applied to many subjects outside of physics, including chemistry, physiology and philosophy. This book analyses the Newtonian method and demonstrates how it represents the very roots of our understanding of the great world system we live in today.
