Vadose Zone Hydrology

Vadose Zone Hydrology

Vadose Zone Hydrology describes the elements of the physical processes most often encountered by hydrogeologists and ground-water engineers in their vadose zone projects. It illustrates the application of soil physics to practical problems relevant to the characterization and monitoring of the vadose zone. It includes an introduction to physical processes including basic flow theory and provides examples of important field-scale processes that must be recognizable by hydrogeologists. Considerable attention is given to the concepts of recharge including how it is most accurately evaluated in the vadose zone. Field and laboratory methods for characterizing hydraulic properties in the vadose zone are also covered and case studies illustrating these methods are provided. New and emerging technologies for monitoring the vadose zone particularly for the purpose of detecting contaminants are highlighted. In the last section of the book additional case studies are presented demonstrating applications related to seepage detection landfill monitoring and soil gas investigations. This book is written from the perspective of hydrogeologists and is designed to be directly applicable and to maintain continuity and consistency between chapters. It will be an invaluable primer for environmental or geotechnical consultants regulators or students who have no prior formal academic training in unsaturated flow concepts. Because the text contains some of the latest advances in this field it will be an excellent reference for geologists and engineers currently working on problems of vadose zone hydrology.

Dual Process Theory 2.0

Dual Process Theory 2.0

Dual Process Theory 2. 0 provides a comprehensive overview of the new directions in which dual process research is heading. Human thinking is often characterized as an interplay between intuition and deliberation and this two-headed dual process view of human thinking has been very influential in the cognitive sciences and popular media. However despite the popularity of the dual process framework it faces multiple challenges. Recent advances indicate that there is a strong need to re-think some of the fundamental assumptions of the original dual process model. With chapters written by leading scholars who have been actively involved in the development of an upgraded ‘Dual Process Theory 2. 0’ this edited volume presents an accessible overview of the latest empirical findings and theoretical ideas. . With cutting edge insights on the interaction between intuition and deliberation Dual Process Theory 2. 0 should be of interest to psychologists philosophers and economists who are using dual process models.

Optimization of Water Management in Polder Areas Some Examples for the Temperate Humid and the Humid Tropical Zone

The demand on land to produce food for urban development such as housing industry shopping areas infrastructure and also for recreation has increased during the history of mankind. This has resulted in such activities as the reclamation of swamps flood plains tidal areas and even lakes by impoldering. Model simulations can be use to gain insight into the system behaviour of different land use and soil composition under temperate humid and humid tropic conditions The existing package OPOL based on a non steady model was further developed to the version OPOL5 for the simulation of hydrological conditions and optimization of the main components of water management systems in polder areas in the temperate humid and humid tropical zone. This model reveals a system's behaviour as well as the effects of variation in the main components of the systems to the overall costs.

Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

For as long as humans have been inhabiting coastal areas and recording what occurs in their environments coastal zones have been defined through dynamic interactions. And this is further underlined by a more recent development: observed sea level rise. In a thorough but not overly technical approach Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone: Law and Policy Considerations provides a legal-policy framework for facing the challenges of sea level rise. The book includes an analysis of sea level rise adaptation strategies that examines the legal impacts of coastal land use decisions based on the current interpretation of private property rights in relation to public control over those rights. The author discusses the science behind sea level rise and highlights policy complexities and options. He then presents an overview of related legalities and bringing it all together applies the principles offered in the book concluding with strategies and solutions and a perspective on the future. If we accept the premise that sea level rise is occurring and will continue for the foreseeable future then we must begin to consider policy responses to this risk in coastal regions. Part of any pragmatic policy response must include a review of the options available to public institutions when developing and implementing rational adaptation policies. This book offers practical legal/policy approaches to sea level rise adaptation that promotes sound planning in the face of climate change and rising seas. | Adapting to Sea Level Rise in the Coastal Zone Law and Policy Considerations

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The relationship between the government and the market lies at the heart of Economics as a discipline. This title approaches this issue with a new lens termed mezzoeconomics—A branch of modern economics that mainly studies regional economic entities and the allocation of regional resources after they are generated. Combining mezzoeconomic theory with practice in the light of China’s Reform and Opening-up the author analyzes the regional governments’ participation in market competition the dual entities (enterprises and regional governments) of market competition and a mature market economy featuring a strong form of effective government and efficient market. Three corresponding theories are proposed—the Regional Government Competition Theory the Dual-Entity of Market Competition Theory (DEMC) and the “Double Strong Forms” Theory. The author hopes that these theories of mezzoeconomics can build a new effective theoretical model and serve as a guidance for regional governments to reform and innovate their governance philosophy and policies. This book will be of keen interest to students and scholars of economics and regional governance. | The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical thought involves the imagination of possibilities and the exploration of their consequences by a process of mental simulation. In this Classic Edition Jonathan St B. T. Evans presents his pioneering hypothetical thinking theory; an integrated theoretical account of a wide range of psychological studies on hypothesis testing reasoning judgement and decision making. Hypothetical thinking theory is built on three key principles and implemented in a version of Evans' well-known heuristic–analytic theory of reasoning. The central claim of this book is that this theory can provide an integrated account of apparently diverse phenomena including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning belief biases in reasoning and judgement biases of statistical judgement and numerous characteristic findings in the study of decision making. Featuring a reflective and insightful new introduction to the book this Classic Edition discusses contemporary theory on cognitive biases human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition. It will be of great interest to researchers post graduates as well as advanced undergraduate students. | Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean (1986) is a comparative and systematic study of the legacies bequeathed by British and French colonial rule in the Caribbean. It examines in detail what are self-evidently among the more tangible legacies from the era of slavery presently manifest in the region: the pattern structure and decline of the sugar economy in the French and Commonwealth Caribbean; the continuing influence of Britain in the pre- and post-independence political systems of the Commonwealth Caribbean as well as of France over its Caribbean possessions; and the retention and adaptation of cultural forms derived from colonial practice as variously exhibited in the educational and ideological beliefs current within the region. These essays offer provocative insights and report intriguing parallels between the British and French experiences in the region. They also offer new interpretations of the processes at work in the area and confirm the utility of the comparative approach in appraising its problems. | Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Originally published in 1986 this book is based on research carried out in 102 County secondary and Church of England secondary and primary schools in London the North West Region and the West Midlands. It analyses data collected from interviews with 102 headteachers 67 religious education teachers and 139 parents whose children were attending Church schools. The book is divided into four main areas. First it examines pupil admission policies illustrating their effect both with the schools and on the neighbourhood. Second it outlines the policies and practices adopted by Church school governors in appointing teaching staff and discusses the implications of these policies. The third area deals with school worship assemblies and religious education and their place in the life of the school. The study highlights important issues and challenges facing schools especially where there is considerable religious diversity among pupils. It discusses some of the difficulties of implementing the law relating to the daily act of worship and why some schools observe the law while others disregard it. Key issues are explored which are central to the teaching of religious education: How RE teachers respond to religious diversity; why Christianity may or may not be given a central place in RE classes; what parents and RE teachers hope RE classes will achieve for pupils by the time they leave school. The fourth area focusses on multicultural education and illustrates the divergent views of headteachers on the aims purposes and relevance on multicultural education. | Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self proposes that the human self is innately bilingual. Conscious mind includes two qualitatively distinct mental processes each of which uses the same formal elements of language differently. The mother tongue the language of primordial consciousness begins in utero and our second language reflective symbolic thought begins in infancy. Michael Robbins describes the respective roles the two conscious mental processes and their particular use of language play in the course of normal and pathological development as well as the role the language of primordial consciousness plays in adult life in such phenomena as dreaming infant-caregiver attachment creativity belief systems and their effects on social and political life cultural differences and psychosis. Examples include creative persons extreme political figures and psychotic individuals. Five original essays written by the author’s current and former patients describe what they learned about their aberrant uses of language and their origins. This book sheds new light on several controversies that have been limited by the incorrect assumption that reflective representational thought and its language is the only conscious mental state. These include the debate within linguistics about whether language is the expression of a hardwired instinct whose identifying feature is recursion; within psychoanalysis about the nature of conscious and unconscious mental processes and within cognitive philosophy about whether language and thought are isomorphic. Consciousness Language and Self will be of great value to psychoanalysts as well as students and scholars of linguistics cognitive philosophy and cultural anthropology. | Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

There have been two critical leadership approaches. First Generation Leadership (command and control) was the dominant model until the 1940s. Second Generation Leadership (compliance coupled with rewards and punishments) is still dominant today. This approach is being rejected by 'Generation Y ' threatening the longevity of traditional organisations. In Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Douglas Long acknowledges the need for a leadership approach that elicits engagement commitment and enhanced personal group and organisational accountability. This is Third Generation Leadership. At its core lies the issue of where we centre our brain's locus of control and how this impacts on our understanding of and approach to leadership. With examples from everyday situations underpinned by research this book is about understanding and applying aspects of neuroscience critical for tomorrow's world. It provides a framework for addressing problems through insights into how the way we use our brains affects values worldviews and behaviours. The author introduces the concept of 'red zone - blue zone' to explain the differences between a brain controlled by its stem-limbic areas (red zone) and the limbic-cortical cortex areas (blue zone). This becomes a short hand for describing and applying knowledge from neuroscience to encourage practitioners in leadership and management roles to achieve desired outcomes through becoming acquainted with different areas of their brain. Anyone grappling with what is required to deal with Generation Y people in a networked and mobile age will welcome this introduction to the world of third generation leadership. | Third Generation Leadership and the Locus of Control Knowledge Change and Neuroscience

Towards Coastal Resilience and Sustainability

Towards Coastal Resilience and Sustainability

Coastal zones represent a frontline in the battle for sustainability as coastal communities face unprecedented economic challenges. Coastal ecosystems are subject to overuse loss of resilience and increased vulnerability. This book aims to interrogate the multi- scalar complexities in creating a more sustainable coastal zone. Sustainability transitions are geographical processes which happen in situated particular places. However much contemporary discussion of transition is either aspatial or based on implicit assumptions about spatial homogeneity. This book addresses these limitations through an examination of socio- technological transitions with an explicitly spatial focus in the context of the coastal zone. The book begins by focusing on theoretical understandings of transition processes specific to the coastal zone and includes detailed empirical case studies. The second half of the book appraises governance initiatives in coastal zones and their efficacy. The authors conclude with an implicit theme of social and environmental justice in coastal sustainability transitions. Research will be of interest to practitioners academics and decision- makers active in the sphere of coastal sustainability. The multi- disciplinary nature encourages accessibility for individuals working in the fields of Economic Geography Regional Development Public Policy and Planning Environmental Studies Social Geography and Sociology. | Towards Coastal Resilience and Sustainability
