Titre : Advance in coastal modeling Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lakhan, V.C, Auteur Editeur : Elsevier Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 595 p. Format : 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-444-51149-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : This book has the primary purpose of consolidating a comprehensive range of current coastal models and enlightening, timely review chapters to emphasize advances in significant areas of coastal modeling. The expected readership of senior students, academics, researchers, practicing professionals and all those interested in the modeling of coastal and oceanic processes and characteristics will obtain invaluable insights in scholarly research on coastal modeling.
To address the wide diversity of coastal models efforts have been made to present a book which is neither a narrowly specialized nor an all encompassing presentation on advances in coastal modeling. In choosing and organizing a representative selection of models from the broad spectrum of coastal models, critical decisions were required on what to include and what to exclude. Apart from considering the overall scope of the book, chapter selection was also aided by several criteria, in-cluding contents of an extensive coastal modeling database established in the late 1980's when I was first contracted to edit a book on coastal modeling, knowledge of articles for a forthcoming issue on coastal morphodynamic modeling which I am now editing, and an understanding of modeling skills required to encourage active participation in the coastal modeling process.
While the preferential selection of chapters provides a broad perspective on coastal modeling it should, nevertheless, be emphasized that the book is not intended to be an exhaustive account of ad-vances in coastal modeling. The omission of certain topics does not imply that they are unimportant, but space limitations prevented including as many as are needed to do justice to the multifaceted as-pects of coastal modeling. One of the unique strengths of the book is that the selected chapters bring together, from fourteen different countries, the special knowledge and expertise of coastal modelers who are with universities, the military, consulting and research institutions. The twenty-one chapters are representative of the scholarly advancement of contemporary research in coastal modeling. In ad-dition to chapters modeling the dynamic natural processes of waves, currents, circulatory flows and sediment transport there are also chapters that focus on the modeling of beaches, shorelines, tidal basins, and shore platforms. The substantial scope of the book is further strengthened with chapters concentrating on the effects of coastal structures on nearshore flows, coastal water quality, coastal pollution, coastal ecological modeling, statistical data modeling, and coupling of coastal models with geographical information systems.Advance in coastal modeling [texte imprimé] / Lakhan, V.C, Auteur . - Elsevier, 2003 . - 595 p. ; 25 cm.

Titre : Algae Based Polymers, Blends, and Composites : Chemistry, Biotechnology and Materials Science Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Khalid Mahmood, Zia, Auteur Editeur : Elsevier Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 738.p Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-12-812360-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 579 Micro-organismes, champignons, algues : classer ici les thallophytes Résumé : Algae Based Polymers, Blends, and Composites: Chemistry, Biotechnology and Material Sciences offers considerable detail on the origin of algae, extraction of useful metabolites and major compounds from algal bio-mass, and the production and future prospects of sustainable polymers derived from algae, blends of algae, and algae based composites. Characterization methods and processing techniques for algae-based polymers and composites are discussed in detail, enabling researchers to apply the latest techniques to their own work. The conversion of bio-mass into high value chemicals, energy, and materials has ample financial and ecological importance, particularly in the era of declining petroleum reserves and global warming. Algae are an important source of biomass since they flourish rapidly and can be cultivated almost everywhere. At present the majority of naturally produced algal biomass is an unused resource and normally is left to decompose. Similarly, the use of this enormous underexploited biomass is mainly limited to food consumption and as bio-fertilizer. However, there is an opportunity here for materials scientists to explore its potential as a feedstock for the production of sustainable materials.

Titre : Aquatic functional biodiversity : an ecological and evolutionary perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Belgrano, Andréa, Auteur Editeur : Elsevier Année de publication : 2015 Importance : XXI-289 p. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978124170155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : Aquatic functional biodiversity: an ecological and evolutionary perspective provides a general conceptual framework by some of the most prominent investigators in the field for how to link ecological and evolutionary approaches with functional diversity, to understand and conserve the provisioning of ecosystem services in aquatic systems. Rather than a methodological book, the work primarily concentrates on defining common areas, connecting conceptual frameworks, and providing examples through a more detailed discussion of a few empirical studies and projects; this helps illustrate key ideas and offers an outline of potential future directions and challenges expected in this interdisciplinary research field.
Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in using network approaches to disentangle the relationship between biodiversity, community structure, and functioning. Novel means for model construction are being developed constantly, and modern methods allow for the inclusion of almost any type of explanatory variable that can be correlated either with biodiversity or ecosystem functioning. As a result, these models have been widely used in ecology, conservation and ecological and evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable gap to bridge before we fully understand how biodiversity constrains functioning, and, ultimately, the provisioning of services, in natural ecosystems.Aquatic functional biodiversity : an ecological and evolutionary perspective [texte imprimé] / Belgrano, Andréa, Auteur . - Elsevier, 2015 . - XXI-289 p. ; 23 cm.
