Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

During the recent decades social political and academic endeavours have been made to improve environmental quality and reduce pollution. In particular the ocean sea and coastal areas show varying degrees of impact from the multiple human activities carried out in the terrestrial as well as in the aquatic environment. Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between organisms and the surrounding environment and in the modern era the marine world is getting increasing attention. For centuries it has been the final reservoir of human garbage; later it became an oil farm with a concomitant increase of coastal population growth and unplanned growth of the fishing industry and the increasing use of sea routes for cargo transport and recreational uses (cruises). All this led to rising contamination with negative effects on biota and even human health. It is then imperative to know the current situation of the world's oceans: that is the main purpose of this book to document at a glance the latest research in the field of ocean pollution. | Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Aviation Design and Innovation

In order to facilitate the safe efficient and cost effective exchange of passengers and cargo between ground and sky airports require the provision of adequate runways aircraft manoeuvring areas cargo sheds and passenger processing facilities. Airports are capital intensive facilities and planning errors which result in the over or under-provision of capacity are both costly and problematic to rectify and so understanding the optimal configuration of passenger terminals is paramount. Of course the design of passenger terminal buildings is influenced not only by levels of demand the commercial requirements of airlines and tenant companies the availability of investment funds and political influence but also by the aircraft that will be using the facility both now and in the future. Indeed the introduction of the first generation of passenger jets in the 1950s and higher-capacity wide-bodied aircraft in the late 1960s required not only the expansion of gate areas and passenger processing facilities but also the introduction of new technologies such as the travelator the baggage reclaim carousel and the airbridge. The introduction of the A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ into revenue passenger service in 2007 similarly demanded a reconfiguration of the airports it serves and practitioners need to be cognisant of the options for accommodating a new generation of large aircraft. While large aircraft generally require a lengthy turn around period between flights and the extensive provision of expensive fixed ground support infrastructure low cost carriers pursue a business model based on very short turnarounds and minimal use of airport infrastructure assets such as airbridges. One of the main challenges facing airport operators is how to accommodate the diverse and dynamic requirements of different operators and these issues are addressed in this Volume. Traditionally aircraft were made and manufactured by small companies within one country but as costs have increased and technology has become more sophisticated a relatively small number of manufacturers which are supported by international supply chains have come to dominate the commercial aircraft market. Originally all aviation jet fuels were derived from crude oil. However concerns about future oil supply and energy security combined with the need to improve aviation’s environmental performance and sustainability has driven the development of alternative fuel sources. However the development and adoption of alternative aviation fuels is not straightforward and the Volume examines the opportunities and challenges of widespread biofuel adoption in terms of production capacity emissions reductions cost and commercial viability. The final essays in this Volume address business model innovation in the airline and airport sector and include considerations of the future evolution of low cost carriers the potential for airline-airport alliances and the development of multi-airport multinational operating companies. | Aviation Design and Innovation

The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

This collection covers the period February 1862-March 1864 which constituted the final two years and one month that Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne commanded the Royal Navy’s North America and West India Station. Its chief focus is upon Anglo-American relations in the midst of the American Civil War. Whilst the most high-profile cause of tension between the two countries — the Trent Affair — had been resolved in Britain’s favour by January 1862 numerous sources of discord remained. Most turned on American efforts to blockade the so-called Confederacy efforts that often ran afoul of international law not to mention British amour-propre. As commander of British naval forces in the theatre Milne’s decisions and actions could and did have a major impact on the state of affairs between his government and that of the US. While noting in one private exchange with the British ambassador to Washington Richard Lord Lyons that he had been enjoined to abstain from any act likely to involve Great Britain in hostilities with the United States Milne added ominously yet I am also instructed to guard our Commerce from all illegal interference and it is plain from his correspondence that both he and the British government were prepared to use force in that undertaking. Thus between apparently high-handed behaviour by the US Navy and Milne’s and the Palmerston government’s resolve not to be pushed beyond a certain point the ingredients for a major confrontation between the two countries existed. Yet most of Milne’s efforts were directed toward preventing such a confrontation from occurring. In this endeavour he was joined by Lyons and by the British government. No vital British interest was at stake in the conflict raging between North and South and thus the nation was unlikely to become directly involved in it unless provoked by rash US actions. Yet there was no shortage of such provocations: the seizure of British merchant vessels bound from one neutral port to another detaining such ships without first conducting a search of their cargo for evidence of contraband of war the de facto blockade of British colonial ports apparent violations of British territorial waters the seizure of British merchantmen off the neutral port of Matamoros Mexico and the use of neutral ports as bases of operations by US warships among them. In responding to these and other sources of dispute between the US and Britain Milne proved adept at pouring oil on troubled waters so much so that in a late 1863 letter to Foreign Secretary Lord Russell Lyons lamented his impending departure from the station: I am very much grieved at his leaving…. No change of admirals could be for the better. This collection centres upon Milne’s private correspondence especially that between him and Lyons First Lord of the Admiralty the Duke of Somerset and First Naval Lord Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Grey. It also includes private letters to and from many of Milne’s other professional correspondents and important official correspondence with the Admiralty. | The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864
