Описание: Learning games have long been used in adult education, and are particularly common in business education. This has brought up the question on how to design effective learning games to be continuously readdressed, often to emphasize some particular aspect as key to designing effective, game-based learning. Despite famous game-designer Costikyans characterization of game-design as an art, rather than an engineering discipline, such studies all seem to look for a recipe for unraveling how to design effective learning games. This book discusses topics on game design and developmental research. Some of the topics include game design and development curricula for digital literacies and 21st century learning; the role of metaphors in game-based learning processes; illustrative, iterative, interdisciplinary and design-oriented use of learning games in university teaching; the relationship between game volatility, house edge and prize structure of gambling games and what it tells us about gambling game design; and a gaming system for shoulder rehabilitation.

Описание: Water is one of the most valuable resources on this Earth. Without it, people could not survive. However, we all too often use it like some unlimited resource that will never end. Emerging pressure on water resources from population and economic growth, climate change, pollution, and other challenges has major effects on our social, economic, and environmental safety. Many of our utmost significant aquifers are being over-pumped, affecting pervasive declines in groundwater levels. Sustainable Water Technologies addresses water resources management, sustainability of water resources, ground and surface water quality and quantity, water use and reuse, surface and ground water interaction, aquifer recharge, storage and more. Furthermore, emphasises emerging nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology applications as well as sustainable processes and products to protect the environment and human health, save water and energy, and minimise material use. This book intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on development of advanced technologies; a critical component in overcoming the looming water crisis. It lays emphasis on emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water sustainability for future generations. The scope of sustainable management of water resources concerns the responsibility of water managers and users to ensure that water resources are allocated efficiently and equitably and used to achieve socially, environmentally and economically beneficial outcomes. Future policies to address the sustainable management of water resources will be greatly influenced by climate change and climate variability, including seasonality problems, such as changes in the timing of annual rainfall patterns or periods of snow pack melt. Recognition of the complexity and diversity of water resource management is important from a policy perspective, as it means there is no one-size-fits-all policy solution to improving water resource management. Policies addressing water resource management need to be tailored and targeted to situations specific to countries and regions within countries. This reflects the great variety across different water basins from the local to international levels in terms of the: heterogeneity of water sources; linkages between water resource and water pollution issues; allocation of water between consumptive uses, such as agriculture, domestic, industrial, power generation, and to meet environmental needs; and the management of the complex institutional and property right arrangements associated with water. New technologies are promising to transform wastewater into a resource for energy generation and a source of drinking water.

This eagerly awaited text from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology Physics of Theatre Project provides a firm conceptual grounding in physics principles along with a clear guide of how to apply those concepts to numerous common theatrical situations. How much power do you need to drive a wagon or skid? Why do we use design factors and where do those values come from? How does a rake affect the moving scenery installed on it? The Physics of Theatre: Mechanics is a first step to understanding why the machines in theatre work the way they do.
The first half of the book uses theatrical examples to guide readers through developing an understanding of kinematics, statics and dynamics, rotational mechanics, and center of mass. The second half applies these concepts to increasingly complex theatrical machines: wagons and skids, static rigging, dynamic rigging, turntables, and jackknives.
See the companion website, physicsoftheatre.org, for even more examples and resources. Use the Physics of Theatre Forum to ask your questions and get answers from us and other technicians.
For some theatre technicians, the idea of delving headlong into physics might seam daunting, so a math primer is included to help exercise those math skills again before diving into the text. The examples and formulas used in this text are algebra and trigonometry based. Theatre technicians do harder things than this every day. You can do this math.
For instructors, this text includes a guide to pedagogical techniques and resources which have been validated through research and are known to increase student learning.
The examples in this book work up from first principles - Newton's laws and basic truths about how the world functions. By working all of the formulas from the ground up, students learn how and why the formulas work. They can also make informed decisions about how to change the formula to fit their specific situations. Understanding first principles and having the ability to derive equations is an incredibly powerful skill. There are no mystery equations in this book. In each case, the reader knows where the equation came from and what assumptions were made.
One of the great powers of working formulas from base principles is that one set of concepts allows a user to create and adapt one formula for multiple situations rather than trying to remember numerous formulas, each for a specific case. For instance, this text will walk readers through generating one formula to determine the tensions in 2-point bridle rigging. Whether the bridles are even or uneven, at the same height or different heights doesn't matter. The tensions can be found for any bridle if we know the angles off of vertical and the load.
The same advantage exists for linear motion. If we are willing to do a little math, we can determine the force necessary to drive a wagon or skid at a particular acceleration, stop a fire curtain cleanly at the deck, or investigate why allowable fall arrest distances are what they are. The process for all of these situations is startlingly similar. It doesn't matter if we generate the necessary force with cylinders, motors or humans. If we start with the forces acting on a system, then we can choose the mechanics that best fit our situation, rather than choosing a type mechanism up front. It also gives us a straight-forward path for combining machines.
The Physics of Theatre: Mechanics hopes to increase our intuition as technicians and mechanical designers, so we can create a safer, more efficient industry.

Описание: Chronic pollution is permanent pollution produced either by repeated or continuous emissions of pollutants, or the presence of determined pollutants. Today, we all acknowledge the significance of pollutants in the air or in water contributing to poor health. Measures of air quality are often reported along with our daily weather, and the impacts of a lack of access to safe drinking water, or of industry discharging pollution into rivers and lakes, are well documented. In many cases, clear links have been drawn between the types and levels of specific contaminants in the air or water, and their health effects. The impacts of pollution on human health must therefore be assessed both for indoor and the broader outdoor environment. Since the industrial revolution of the 19th century, health hazards associated to release of toxic chemicals and heavy metals from manufacturing plants has also become a more serious health issue. However, until recently, the effects of soil pollution on our health have had a much lower profile. Soil contaminants may be responsible for health effects costing millions of dollars, but studies to quantify the true cost are in their infancy. Health problems from cancers (arsenic, asbestos, dioxins), to neurological damage and lower IQ (lead, arsenic), kidney disease (lead, mercury, cadmium), and skeletal and bone diseases (lead, fluoride, cadmium) are serious issues. Crisis Management of Chronic Pollution gathers all the works that have been carried out over the last decade or more and links them to decision makers actions and stakeholders scenarios. This text bridges a gap in the literature on chronic pollution. The intention of the text is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on development of advanced technologies is a critical component in overcoming the chronic pollution. It highlights emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate safe environment for future generations. Soil pollution occurs when soil contains chemicals that are toxic or otherwise dangerous for humans and other living things. The chemicals may be foreign to the area, or they may be naturally occurring materials that pollute the soil by being present in dangerously high amounts. Soil pollution can have a number of harmful effects on human health. The harmful effects of soil pollution may come from direct contact with polluted soil or from contact with other resources, such as water, that have come in direct contact with the polluted soil. Heavy metals and persistent organic chemicals are of particular concern. Human activity introduces heavy metals (such as cadmium, arsenic and mercury) to our soils through mining, smelting, industry, agriculture and burning fossil fuels. Our disposal of materials containing heavy metals, such as paint, electronic waste, and sewage also contributes to the burden of heavy metal contamination.

Описание: Soil is the thin skin covering the land; clean water is becoming more valuable every day. As global populations grow, and as demand for food increases in a world with a fixed water supply, there are efforts under way to learn how to produce more food with less water, through improvements in irrigation methods and technologies, agricultural water management, crop types, and water monitoring. Todays major challenges for water engineers and managers include securing water for people and for food production: protecting vital ecosystems: and dealing with variability and uncertainty of water in space and time. In the field of soil and water engineering, modelling aspects have added a new dimension in research innovations in all branches of engineering. They are increasingly used for planning, development, and management of land and water resources, including analysis of quantity and quality parameters of surface and ground water, flood forecasting and control measures, optimum allocation and utilisation of irrigation water. Soil and Water Engineering focuses on the soil/water interface and how to manage it for maximum productivity within the environmental requirements of long-term sustainability and overall ecosystem health. It offers a balanced approach, which covers both the engineering and management aspects of water resource development. It also addresses methods for controlling water to avoid water-related damage and catastrophes. This book will be of comprehensive guide for students, researchers and practitioners, and professionals in water resources engineering generally to learn the latest technological advancements and changes.
Автор: Dalmiro Martell Название: Trace Elements in Waterlogged Soils & Sediments ISBN: 168117703X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681177038 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 230210.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Trace elements occur naturally in soils and some are essential nutrients for plant growth as well as human and animal health. However, at elevated levels, all trace elements become potentially toxic. Anthropogenic input of trace elements into the natural environment therefore poses a range of ecological and health problems. In environmental sciences, the development of monitoring systems is of main importance. Increasingly strict environmental regulations require the development of new methods for analysis and ask for simple and meaningful tools to obtain information on metal fractions of different mobility and bioavailability in the solid phases. The objectives of monitoring are to assess pollution effects on humans and the environment, to identify possible sources, and to establish relationships between pollutant concentrations and health effects or environmental changes. Fifteen or more elements present in rocks and soils normally in very small amounts are essential for plant and/or animal nutrition. By the nature of their low abundance in natural uncontaminated earth materials or plants, they are known as trace elements, minor elements or micronutrients. Boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, vanadium and zinc are required by plants; copper, cobalt, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium and zinc by animals. Thus, it is necessary to investigate and understand the transport mechanisms of trace elements and their complexes to understand their chemical cycles in nature. The book analyses the state-of-the-art research in the field, providing a inclusive outline of the chemistry, analysis, fate and regulation of trace elements in soils, in addition to remediation strategies for contaminated soil. This book brings the current knowledge concerning trace elements in temporary waterlogged soils and sediments together. It deliberates factors controlling the dynamics and release kinetics of trace elements and their underlying biogeochemical processes. It also discusses current technologies for remediating sites contaminated with trace metals, and the role of bioavailability in risk assessment and regulatory decision making. It will be a valuable tool for professionals around the world in disciplines related to contaminant bioavailability in aquatic organisms, contaminant fate and transport, remediation technologies, and risk assessment of aquatic and wetland ecosystems.
