Principles of Geographical Information

Systems

Peter A. Burrough,Professor of Physical Geography,Utrecht University andRachael A. Mcdonnell,HertfordCollege, Oxford

Provides a comprehensive and concise introduction to the theory and practiceof Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Attention is paid to the problems of data quality and how statistical errors inspatial data can affect the results of spatial modelling

Fuzzy logic and continuous classification methods are presented as methods forlinking the two spatial paradigms.

Includes an investigation of current developments in providing spatial data forthe whole world over the Internet.

This book presents a strong theoretical basis for GIS, which is often lacking inother texts. Spatial data are usually based on two, dichotomous paradigms, exactlydefined entities in space, such as land parcels, or the continuous variation of singleattributes, such as temperature or rainfall. Methods for modelling both kinds ofphenomena and storing them in spatial databases are described in detail, includingthe use of geostatistics for interpolating from points to continuous fields. Examplesof how spatial data and an analysis of their spatial interactions are used to solve awide range of practical problems are explained clearly and in detail.

Contents:1. Geographical Information: Society, Science, and Systems; 2. Data

Chapters have been recast to place greater emphasis on the importance ofconsidering the whole energy system, from source to our homes, and on theuses of energy in buildings, industry, and transport.

Certain topics have been enhanced in light of developments in recent years,such as the discussion of energy storage, smart grids, carbon capture andstorage, energy efficiency technology and demand reduction, and the estima

effects of climate change.Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impactsenables the reader to evaluatthe key sources of energy available to us today on the basis of sound, quantitativunderstanding. Covering renewable, fossil fuel, and nuclear energy sources,the book relates the science behind these sources to the environmental andsocioeconomic issues which surround their use to provide a balanced, objectiveoverview. It also explores the practicalities of energy generation, storage, andtransmission, to build a complete picture of energy supply, from wind turbines,nuclear reactors, or hydroelectric dams, to our homes.

The problems with current and future energy use and supply extend globally;Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts introduces the potentialsolutions that science can offer, within a framework that encourages the criticalassessment of the pros and cons of each.

Introduction to Theoretical and

Computational Fluid Dynamics

C. Pozrikidis, Professor, Department of AppliedMechanics and Engineering Sciences, University ofCalifornia at San Diego, USA

This book presents a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the fundamentalprinciples and differential equations that govern the kinematics and dynamics oflaminar flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids. Furthermore, it simultaneouslyillustrates the application of numerical methods to computing a variety of flowvariables and solving a broad range of problems, and discusses the development ofspecific computational algorithms. The numerical procedures are developed fromfirst principles, no experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics and knowledgeof terminology is required, and references for specialized topics are provided.

The material is intended to be instructive in the classroom and useful as a sourcereference to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and researchersin the various fields of engineering, including chemical, mechanical and aerospaceengineering, applied mathematics, and computational science.

SI UnitsMechanics of MachinesInternational Edition

William Cleghorn, University of Toronto

Mechanics of Machines covers the basic concepts of gears, gear trains, themechanics of rigid bodies, and graphical and analytical kinematic analyses ofplanar mechanisms. In addition, the text describes a procedure for designing disccam mechanisms, discusses graphical and analytical force analyses and balancingof planar mechanisms, and illustrates common methods for the synthesis ofmechanisms.

Each chapter concludes with a selection of problems of varying length anddifficulty. SI Units and US Customary Units are employed. An appendix presentstwenty-six design projects based on practical, real-world engineering situations.

These may be ideally solved using Working Model software.
