Engineering Surveys for Industry
by Alojz Kopáčik Ján Erdélyi Peter KyrinovičThis book is the translated English version of a text on industrial surveys, originally published in Slovak by SPEKTRUM STU Publishing. This updated version is not only a translation of the original, but also a reviewed, extended version, which reflects up-to-date international standards and regulations. The book covers topics in engineering surveying not available in other publications in this complex form, and addresses the design methodology, data processing and implementation of geodetic measurements under specific conditions to make industrial work environments safer and more efficient. The book begins by introducing readers to these conditions, and then discusses design of maps, geodetic networks and information systems of industrial plants, the usage of cartesian and polar coordinate measuring systems, terrestrial laser scanning technology, as well as measurement of cranes, rotary kilns and special objects of nuclear power plants. The book will be of use to teachers, students, practitioners (e.g. surveyors), quality production managers, equipment designers and mechanical engineers.
Engineering Sustainable Life on Earth: Alleviating Adverse Climate Change Through Better Design
by John F. CoplinClimate scientists have clarified the main causes of climate change, and the tight timescale within which humans must change behaviour, and implement effective solutions, wherever they are needed across the world. This book uncovers many of the powerful actions and uses them effectively to achieve sustainable human life, of improved quality, in a way that is affordable out of earned income for all humans, wherever they live. The ultimate solution to climate change lies not just in doing and consuming less but does instead entirely revolve around our ability to "out innovate" the problem. John F. Coplin, CBE, FREng, FCGI, has had a long and distinguished career in engineering and has operated and advised at all levels from heads of state, company chairs, engineering directors, government advisory boards, and on the shop floor. He is perfectly placed to take a wide-ranging approach, applying modern design and innovative engineering at a systemic level in order to provide novel approaches that will have far-reaching impact on reversing humankind’s impact on this planet. His projections and solutions are based on facts, reasonable calculations, and science learnt from nature. Unafraid to challenge current thinking, John looks at solutions across multiple sectors, including aviation, cars and domestic local transport, clean and renewable energy, food and agriculture, and housing and communities, and describes the particular potential of hydrogen as fuel. The book is written in a language for all. It is small enough to be used is a practical guide to where some of the most useful improvements are to be found and as a way to start important conversations.

Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management: 4. Risk Reduction Technologies and Case Studies (Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management #4)
by Katalin Gruiz Tamás Meggyes Éva FenyvesiThe four volumes of the book series "Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management" deal with environmental management, assessment & monitoring tools, environmental toxicology and risk reduction technologies. This last volume focuses on engineering solutions usually needed for industrial contaminated sites, where nature’s self-remediation is inefficient or too slow. The success of remediation depends on the selection of an increasing number of conventional and innovative methods. This volume classifies the remedial technologies and describes the reactor approach to understand and manage in situ technologies similarly to reactor-based technologies. Technology types include physicochemical, biological or ecological solutions, where near-natural, sustainable remediation has priority. <P><P>A special chapter is devoted to natural attenuation, where natural changes can help achieve clean-up objectives. Natural attenuation and biological and ecological remediation establish a serial range of technologies from monitoring only to fully controlled interventions, using ‘ just’ the natural ecosystem or sophisticated artificial living systems. Passive artificial ecosystems and biodegradation-based remediation – in addition to natural attenuation – demonstrate the use of these ‘green’ technologies and how engineering intervention should be kept at a minimum to limit damage to the environment and create a harmonious ecosystem. <P><P>Remediation of sites contaminated with organic substances is analyzed in detail including biological and physicochemical methods. Comprehensive management of pollution by inorganic contaminants from the mining industry, leaching and bioleaching and acid mine drainage is studied in general and specifically in the case of an abandoned mine in Hungary where the innovative technology of combined chemical and phytostabilization has been applied. <P><P>The series of technologies is completed by electrochemical remediation and nanotechnologies. Monitoring, verification and sustainability analysis of remediation provide a comprehensive overview of the management aspect of environmental risk reduction by remediation. This book series focuses on the state of knowledge about the environment and its conscious and structured application in environmental engineering, management and decision making.
