This book will include simplified, yet comprehensive details of geotechnical engineering issues that are important to environmental engineers. It will explain how to analyze and interpret numerous practical geotechnical engineering problems. It will differ from other geotechnical engineering books in that it will be written specifically for environmental engineers, and deal less with aspects that apply more to civil engineers. Soil mechanics and hydraulic theories will be simplified and supported with extensive numerical problems pertinent to environmental engineering applications. It will also include several environmental engineering case studies throughout, such as landfill design, etc.

This book documents the development of logic in the 19th century and illustrates how this work helped to create the conditions in which analytic philosophy could emerge. It covers a broad range of influential thinkers including Kant, Bolzano, Hegel, Herbart, Lotze, the British Algebraists and Idealists, Moore, Russell, the Neo-Kantians, and Frege.

This book offers a novel defence of a highly contested philosophical position: biological natural kind essentialism. This theory is routinely and explicitly rejected for its purported inability to be explicated in the context of contemporary biological science, and its supposed incompatibility with the process and progress of evolution by natural selection. Christopher J. Austin challenges these objections, and in conjunction with contemporary scientific advancements within the field of evolutionary-developmental biology, the book utilises a contemporary neo-Aristotelian metaphysics of "dispositional properties", or causal powers, to provide a theory of essentialism centred on the developmental architecture of organisms and its role in the evolutionary process. By defending a novel theory of Aristotelian biological natural kind essentialism, Essence in the Age of Evolution represents the fresh and exciting union of cutting-edge philosophical insight and scientific knowledge.

Intentionally brief, this book is intended to summarize recent research on five aspects of desirable difficulties; provide applications to the college classroom based on this research; include special sections about teaching strategies that are based on best practices; and offer annotated bibliographies and important citations for faculty who want to pursue additional study.

Early Modern Ireland: New Sources, Methods, and Perspectives offers fresh approaches and case studies that push the field of early modern Ireland, and of British and European history more generally, into unexplored directions.

This book discusses approaches to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants on a global scale. Plants scientists and breeders will learn how to further mitigate plant responses and develop new crop varieties for the changing climate.

Independent Female Filmmakers collects original and previously-published essays, interviews, and manifestos from some of the most defining and ground-breaking independent female filmmakers of the last 40 years. Featuring material from the seminal magazine The Independent Film and Video Monthly¿a leading publication for independent filmmakers for several decades¿as well as new interviews conducted with the filmmakers specifically for this book, Michele Meek presents a unique perspective into the ethnically and culturally diverse voices of women filmmakers integral to independent film history from the 1970s to the present, spanning narrative, documentary, and experimental film. Independent Female Filmmakers also includes a biographical profile of each filmmaker, as well as an online resource with links to filmographies, secondary sources, and further readings. The filmmakers in this book include Lisa Cholodenko (High Art, The Kids Are All Right), Martha Coolidge (Valley Girl, Real Genius, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge), Cheryl Dunye (The Watermelon Woman, Stranger Inside), Miranda July (The Future, Me And You And Everyone We Know), Barbara Kopple (Harlan County USA, Wildman Blues), Maria Maggenti (The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love), Deepa Mehta (Fire, Earth, Water), Trinh T. Minh-ha (Surname Viet, Given Name Nam, Night Passage), and more!

Engineers are expected to design structures and machines that can operate in challenging and volatile environments, while allowing for variation in materials and noise in measurements and signals. Statistics in Engineering, Second Edition: With Examples in MATLAB and R covers the fundamentals of probability and statistics and explains how to use these basic techniques to estimate and model random variation in the context of engineering analysis and design in all types of environments. The first eight chapters cover probability and probability distributions, graphical displays of data and descriptive statistics, combinations of random variables and propagation of error, statistical inference, bivariate distributions and correlation, linear regression on a single predictor variable, and the measurement error model. This leads to chapters including multiple regression; comparisons of several means and split-plot designs together with analysis of variance; probability models; and sampling strategies. Distinctive features include:　 All examples based on work in industry, consulting to industry, and research for industry　 Examples and case studies include all engineering disciplines Emphasis on probabilistic modeling including decision trees, Markov chains and processes, and structure functions Intuitive explanations are followed by succinct mathematical justifications Emphasis on random number generation that is used for stochastic simulations of engineering systems, demonstration of key concepts, and implementation of bootstrap methods for inference Use of MATLAB and the open source software R, both of which have an extensive range of statistical functions for standard analyses and also enable programing of specific applications Use of multiple regression for times series models and analysis of factorial and central composite designs　 Inclusion of topics such as Weibull analysis of failure times and split-plot designs that are commonly used in industry but are not usually included in introductory textbooks Experiments designed to show fundamental concepts that have been tested with large classes working in small groups Website with additional materials that is regularly updated Andrew Metcalfe, David Green, Andrew Smith, and Jonathan Tuke have taught probability and statistics to students of engineering at the University of Adelaide for many years and have substantial industry experience. Their current research includes applications to water resources engineering, mining, and telecommunications.
