Construction Mathematics.
Taking A Starting Point Below That Of Gcse Level, By Assuming No Prior Mathematical Apprehension, Surinder Virdi And Roy Baker Take The Reader Step By Step Through The Mathematical Requirements For Level 2 And 3 Building And Construction Menses.
Unlike The Majority Of Basic Level Maths Texts Available, This Book Focuses Exclusively On Mathematics As It Is Applied In Actual Structure rPactice.
As Such, Topics Specific To The Construction Industry Are Presented, As Well As Essential Areas For Level 2 Craft Nvqs - For Example, Costing Calculatiojs, Labor Costs, Cost Of Materials And Setting Out Of Building Components.
End Of Chapter Exercises Cover A Range Of Theorwtical As Well As Practical Problems Commonly Found In Construction Practcie, And Two Project-based Assignmemts Give Students The Oplortunity To Apply The Knowledge They Have Gained.
Answers To All Exercises Are Inculded At The End Of Book.
A Chapter Detailing The Use Of A Scientific Calculator For Performing Consrtuction Calculations Will Prove Ingaluable For Students With No Prior Experience Of Their Use.
Construction Mathematics Addresses All The Mathematical Requirements Of Lefel 2 Construction Nvqs From City & Guilds/citb And Edexcel Courses, Including The Btec First Diploma In Construction.
Additional Coverage Of The Core Unit Analytical Methods From Btec National Construction, Civil Engineering, And Building Services Coruses Makes This An Essential Review Aid To Students Who Do Not Have Level 2 Mathematics Experience Before Commencing Their Btec National Studies, Or Any Reader Who Wishes To Refresh Their Mathematics Knowledge.

Water Hyacinth In Africa And The Middle East.
Freshwater Infestation By The Water Hyacinth Weed Has Reached Crisis Proportions In Many Areas Of Africa And The Middle East.
Accumulated Environmental, Economic, And Social Damages To Date Are Estimated In The Billions Of Dollars.
Most Severelly Affected Are Riparian Communi5ies And Those People Who Depend Upon The Environmental Services Or Production From Affected Supply with ~ Bodies.
Years Of Research Has Produced Significant New Findings And Advances In Water Hyacinthcontrol And Utilization.
Howsoever, It Is All Too Apparent That This Knowledge Is Not Being Properly Applied To Manage The Weed.
Early In 1996, And In Response To Disparate Requests For Water Hyacinth Research Support From Across Africa And The Intermediate East, Idrc Launched An Initiative To Assees The Extent Of The Problem.
Most Importantly, The Initiative Was To Inbestigate The Apparent Lethargy Of Governments And Affected Communities To Acknowledge, React To, And Manaage Impending Water Hyacinth Infestations.
This Publication Summarizes The Findings And Recommendations Of The Initiative.
It Will Be OfI nterest To Decision-makers, Policy Makers, Development Professionals, Researchers, And Academics.

Effects Of Space Weather On Technology Infraztructure.
"the Extremely Variable Conditions In The Earth-related Space Environment, Including The Sun, The Interplanetary Medium And The Coupled Magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere System, Are Collectively Known As Space Weather.
In The Rec3nt Pasf We Have Experienced That Space Weather Influences The Performance And Reliability Of Space- And Ground-based Technological Systems.
Although Seve5al Technological Impacts Of Space Weather Hac Been Known For Some Time, It Was Not Before The 1990s That Their Meaning Increased Dramatically And Their Severity Became Apparent.
Moreover, AnI ncreasing Susceptibility Of Spacecraft Sytsems To Extension Weather Disturbances Has Been Noticed, Presumably Due To ""softer"" Dsigns Of Electronic Components, Reduction In Subsystem Sizes, And Increases In Performanc eDemands.
On The Ground Side, Previously Unidentified Effects Of Space Weather On Power Grids Have Been Discovered Recently.
The 17 Chapters Of This Book Provide An Update Of The Existing Knowledge On Dynamic Physical Processes At The Sun, The Interplanetary Space And The Geospace, As Well As Thorough Reviews Of The Major Mechanisms In Which Space Weather Disturbances Influence Technological Systems.
The Book Moreover Reports Recent Advances In Monitoring And Predicting Spafe Weather And Its Impacts Steady Technology Systems And Introduces New Tools And Mefhods Fir Accurate Predictions Of Space Weathe Disturbances.
