Water Cycle: Processes and Interactions
The water cycle is the continuous movement of water above, below and on the Earth's surface. The mass of water on Earth remains constant but it differs in its distribution among the reservoirs of ice, saline water, freshwater and atmospheric water. The variation in the amount of water present in various reservoirs depends on the climatic variables. Several physical processes such as evaporation, condensation, infiltration and precipitation move water from one reservoir to another. The water takes different forms such as solid, liquid and vapor while going through such processes. The water cycle is driven by the sun that heats water in oceans and seas and makes it evaporate as water vapor into the air. Sometimes ice and snow sublimate into water vapor. These water vapor move across the globe and form clouds, which collide and fall out on the upper atmospheric layers as precipitation. Most water comes back into the oceans, seas and on land as rain. This book outlines the processes and applications of water cycle in detail. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the water cycle. This book is a collective contribution of renowned group of international experts.

Fundamentals of Deep Excavations
Excavation is an important segment of foundation engineering (e.g., in the construction of the foundations or basements of high-rise buildings, underground oil tanks, or subways). However, the excavation knowledge introduced in most books on foundation engineering is too simple to handle actual excavation analysis and design. Moreover, with economic development and urbanization, excavations go deeper and are larger in scale. These conditions require elaborate analysis, design methods and construction technologies. This book is aimed at both theoretical explication and practical application. From basic to advanced, this book attempts to achieve theoretical rigor and consistency. Each chapter is followed by a problem set so that the book can be readily taught at senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The solution to the problems at the end of the chapters can be found on the website (http: //www.ct.ntust.edu.tw/ou/). On the other hand, the analysis methods introduced in the book can be used in actual analysis and design as they contain the most up-to-date knowledge. Therefore, this book is suitable for teachers who teach foundation engineering and/or deep excavation courses and engineers who are engaged in excavation analysis and design.

Thinking Safety
In "Thinking" Safety, author Capt. Ashok Menon takes us on a refreshing journey into the risk-filled world of seafarers and the shipping industry and explores how we can eliminate accidents by understanding the fickle nature of our brain and its workings. He examines why some companies, in spite of spending hugely on safety training, still do not get the desired results of reduced number of accidents and losses. How can we make life for our precious seafarers, whose efforts support 90% of the world trade, safer so that they continue to sustain the quality of life of peoples across the globe? To keep this critical industry humming along and to attract new seafarers to this industry, we need to ensure that our seafarers can work and live safely as they go about their duties. So, can the shipping industry look at new ways of eliminating this "accident-proneness" of seafarers instead of just using the old tried and tested methods? Can we incorporate new knowledge from the field of neuroscience to enhance our training?
Crafting Green Waves & Aerial Podcar Warrants
Crafting Green Waves - Radical, efficient, cheap, effective ways to prevent congestion and reduce trip time.Preventing congestion permits free flow for all, allows signal linking that reduces delay for the bus, is better than a bus lane, and the alternative of a bus lane seriously congests all other traffic without reason.Having turn arrows at intersections wastes time for all traffic, creates unsafe driver challenges, and is better replaced by cross-overs before the intersection, that move the turns to service roads.Free entry to congested roads manages demand by queue delay, yet does not prevent giving all traffic the choice of jumping the queue for a toll. Getting most people to jump the queue saves time and keeps the toll as low as possible. Traffic must be metered to remove congestion. A green wave will then travel at the speed limit.A worked example shows massive increases in traffic capacity and trip speed, and increased safety.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aerial Podcars - Profitable, 4x faster, reliable, cheap urban transport, better service than cars.Existing transport performance is insipid. Peak hour trips for cars only average 15kph, 23kph and 38kph, for the inner, middle and outer Melbourne areas. Delay cost is $22B. Externalities of transport systems are very serious. Attempts to improve existing transport systems are expensive but not effective.Aerial podcars are the only mode with reasonable prospects of providing good urban transport and of seriously reducing the subsidies, the road toll, assaults, degraded amenity and emissions. They are four times faster than cars, pleasant, private, with personal seamless routes, extremely reliable, of high capacity, and profitable, yet priced less than other options.

Despite the fact that current research on uncertainty is mainly focusing on uncertainty quantification and analysis, this book gives emphasis to innovative ways to master uncertainty in engineering design, production and product usage alike. It gathers authoritative contributions by more than 30 scientists reporting on years of research in the areas of engineering, applied mathematics and law, thus offering a timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary account of theories and methods for quantifying data, model and structural uncertainty, and of fundamental strategies for mastering uncertainty. It covers key concepts such as robustness, flexibility and resilience in detail. All the described methods, technologies and strategies have been validated with the help of three technical systems, i.e. the Modular Active Spring-Damper System, the Active Air Spring andthe 3D Servo Press, which have been in turn developed and tested during more than ten years of cooperative research. Overall, this book offers a timely, practice-oriented reference guide to graduate students, researchers and professionals dealing with uncertainty in the broad field of mechanical engineering.
