Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterizationby Javier Alvarez-Benedi
CRC Press 2004; US$ 189.95Beyond mere technical guidance, this book addresses the limitations of soil characterization methods and advises on alternatives. A holistic text, it considers complicating factors and methods of monitoring and modelling mass transfer processes. more...
Water Flow In Soilsby Tsuyoshi Miyazaki
CRC Press 2005; US$ 199.95These nine articles combine soil physics (often microscopic) with hydrology (often macroscopic) to delineate fundamental concepts primarily with non-mathematical explanations. Miyazaki (soil physics, U. of Tokyo) and co-authors cover the basics of soil and water, physical laws, refraction, preferential flow and flow in slopes, water regimes in fiel more...
Modelling Water and Nutrient Dynamics in Soil-crop Systemsby K.Ch. Kersebaum; Jens-Martin Hecker; W. Mirschel; Martin Wegehenkel
Springer 2006; US$ 179.00Contains articles from a workshop on "Modelling water and nutrient dynamics in crop-soil systems". This book provides data sets from lysimeters and experimental fields of multiyear crop rotations. It describes the applications of 18 different modelling approaches describing soil-crop-atmosphere interactions for water, nitrogen and carbon dynamics. more...
Functional Approach to Nonlinear Models of Water Flow in Soilsby Gabriela Marinoschi
Springer 2006; US$ 89.95A work of applied mathematics, which focuses on the functional study of the nonlinear boundary value problems relating to water flow in porous media. This volume deals with diffusion type models and emphasizes the mathematical treatment of their nonlinear aspects. more...
Soil Water Repellencyby C.J. Ritsema; L.W. Dekker
Elsevier 2003; US$ 285.00It has become clear that soil water repellency is much more wide-spread than formerly thought. Water repellency has been reported in most continents of the world for varying land uses and climatic conditions. Soil water repellency often leads to severe runoff and erosion, rapid leaching of surface-applied agrichemicals, and losses of water and nutrient availability for crops. At present, no optimum management strategies exist for water repellent soils, focusing on minimizing environmental risks while maintaining crop production. The book starts with a historical overview of water repellency research, followed by seven thematic sections covering 26 research chapters. The first section discusses the origin, the second the assessment, and the... more...
Grid Computingby Sergei Gorlatch; Thierry Priol; Paraskevi Frangopoulou
Springer 2008; US$ 139.00Grid Computing: Achievements and Prospects, the 9th edited volume of the CoreGRID series, includes selected papers from the CoreGRID Integration Workshop, held April 2008 in Heraklion-Crete, Greece. This event brings together representatives of the academic and industrial communities performing Grid research in Europe. The workshop was organized in the context of the CoreGRID Network of Excellence in order to provide a forum for the presentation and exchange of views on the latest developments in grid technology research. Grid Computing: Achievements and Prospects is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This volume is also suitable for graduate-level students in computer science. more...

Parallel Coordinatesby D. Russo
Springer 2009; US$ 79.95This is one book that can genuinely be said to be straight from the horse?s mouth. Written by the originator of the technique, it examines parallel coordinates as the leading methodology for multidimensional visualization. Starting from geometric foundations, this is the first systematic and rigorous exposition of the methodology's mathematical and algorithmic components. It covers, among many others, the visualization of multidimensional lines, minimum distances, planes, hyperplanes, and clusters of "near" planes. The last chapter explains in a non-technical way the methodology's application to visual and automatic data mining. The principles of the latter, along with guidelines, strategies and algorithms are illustrated... more...
Soil Hydrology, Land Use and Agricultureby Manoj K. Shukla
CABI 2011; US$ 180.00Agriculture is strongly affected by changes in soil hydrology as well as changes in land use and management practices and the complex interactions between them. This book aims to develop an understanding of these interactions on a watershed scale, using soil hydrology models and addresses the consequences of land use and management changes on agriculture from a research perspective. It includes case studies that illustrate the impact of land use and management on various soil hydrological parameters under different climates and ecosystems. It is suitable for researchers and students in soil science, agriculture and related subjects. more...
