Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Conveyors Application Selection and Integration

Put simply this is probably the first book in 40 years to comprehensively discuss conveyors a topic that seems mundane until the need arises to move material from point A to point B without manual intervention. Conveyors: Application Selection and Integration gives industrial designers engineers and operations managers key information they must consider to determine which type of conveyor to purchase and how to optimally integrate it into their system to meet their transport needs. Tapping into his more than 20 years of experience in the materials handling industry the author discusses requirements for specific products or materials and environmental factors covering operation in extreme temperatures. Each chapter details a specific type of conveyor—including chain belt and gravity varieties—and highlights its primary features such as load capacity and rate and operation. The text also addresses costs and objectives of material handling exploring rate calculations controls systems and other relevant aspects. It includes photographs of actual installations and a glossary of key terms. Learn from the Experience of a Conveyor Expert Unless you have conveyor experience you’ll need help deciding on the best mode of transportation for your product. This volume stands apart as an aid in this decision process because it does not take a myopic view of one specific type of conveyor. Rather than solely covering bulk material handling or screw conveyors it analyzes all of the major varieties of conveyors. This book is not meant to be an engineering manual for designing conveyors but rather a broader guide to integrating conveyors in a transportation system. | Conveyors Application Selection and Integration

Quantum Reality Theory and Philosophy

As probably the most successful scientific theory ever created quantum theory has profoundly changed our view of the world and extended the limits of our knowledge impacting both the theoretical interpretation of a tremendous range of phenomena and the practical development of a host of technological breakthroughs. Yet for all its success quantum theory remains utterly baffling. Quantum Reality: Theory and Philosophy Second Edition cuts through much of the confusion to provide readers with an exploration of quantum theory that is as authoritatively comprehensive as it is intriguingly comprehensible. The book has been fully updated throughout to include the latest results in quantum entanglement the theory and practical applications of quantum computing quantum cosmology and quantum gravity. Needing little more than a school level physics and mathematics background this volume requires only an interest in understanding how quantum theory came to be and the myriad ways it both explains how our universe functions and extends the reach of human knowledge. Written by well-known physics author and teacher Dr. Jonathan Allday this highly engaging work: • Presents a thorough grounding in the theoretical machinery of quantum physics • Offers a whistle-stop tour through the early part of the 20th century when the founding fathers of quantum theory forever altered the frontiers of human thought • Provides an example-filled interpretation of the theory its applications and its pinnacle in quantum field theory (QFT) so crucial in shaping ideas about the nature of reality • Separates fact from speculation regarding quantum physics’ ability to provide a starting point for philosophical queries into ultimate understanding and the limits of science The world beneath the one that we experience with our senses is profoundly mysterious and while we may never completely unravel that mystery quantum theory allows us to come closer than ever to understanding where the science leaves off and the mystery begins. Quantum Reality: Theory and Philosophy Second Edition makes that understanding accessible to anyone possessing a quest for knowledge and a sense of awe. | Quantum Reality Theory and Philosophy

From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness

From Atoms to Galaxies: A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness teaches heightened scientific acuity as it educates students about the physical world and gives them answers to questions large and small. Written by Sadri Hassani the author of several mathematical physics textbooks this work covers the essentials of modern physics in a way that is as thorough as it is compelling and accessible. Some of you might want to know …. How did Galileo come to think about the first law of motion?. Did Newton actually discover gravity by way of an apple and an accident?Or maybe you have mulled over…. Is it possible for Santa Claus to deliver all his toys? . Is it possible to prove that Elvis does not visit Graceland every midnight?Or perhaps you’ve even wondered …. If ancient Taoism really parallels modern physics? . If psychoanalysis can actually be called a science? . How it is that some philosophies of science may imply that a 650-year-old woman can give birth to a child? No Advanced Mathematics RequiredA primary textbook for undergraduate students not majoring in physics From Atoms to Galaxies examines physical laws and their consequences from a conceptual perspective that requires no advanced mathematics. It explains quantum physics relativity nuclear and particle physics gauge theory quantum field theory quarks and leptons and cosmology. Encouraging students to subscribe to proven causation rather than dramatic speculation the book: Defines the often obscured difference between science and technology discussing how this confusion taints both common culture and academic rigor Explores the various philosophies of science demonstrating how errors in our understanding of scientific principles can adversely impact scientific awareness Exposes how pseudoscience and New Age mysticism advance unproven conjectures as dangerous alternatives to proven science Based on courses taught by the author for over 15 years this textbook has been developed to raise the scientific awareness of the untrained reader who lacks a technical or mathematical background. To accomplish this the book lays the foundation of the laws that govern our universe in a nontechnical way emphasizing topics that excite the mind namely those taken from modern physics and exposing the abuses made of them by the New Age gurus and other mystagogues. It outlines the methods developed by physicists for the scientific investigation of nature and contrasts them with those developed by the outsiders who claim to be the owners of scientific methodology. Each chapter includes essays which use the material developed in that chapter to debunk misconceptions clarify the nature of science and explore the history of physics as it relates to the development of ideas. Noting the damage incurred by confusing science and technology the book strives to help the reader to emphatically demarcate the two while clearly demonstrating that science is the only element capable of advancing technology. | From Atoms to Galaxies A Conceptual Physics Approach to Scientific Awareness
