Plate-and-frame heat exchangers (PHEs) are used in many different processes at a broad range of temperatures and with a variety of substances. Research into PHEs has increased considerably in recent years and this is a compilation of knowledge on the subject. Containing invited contributions from prominent and active investigators in the area, it should enable graduate students, researchers, and research and development engineers in industry t...

This title comprises a number of research papers presented at several Computers in Railways Conferences. They provide an overview of the analytical approaches, methods and simulation tools for the modelling and analysis of network timetables, the distribution of train delays and real-time rescheduling of pertubed operations.

This book contains papers presented at The Sustainable City 2010 conference, which was the sixth edition of the International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability. That event followed the very successful meetings held previously in Rio (2000), Segovia (2002), Siena (2004), Tallinn (2006) and Skiathos (2008) and proved one more time the necessity of this scientific forum to discuss the challenging situations that the urban areas ...

This book introduces the protection of historic properties by public agencies in three very different legal systems - the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain - as well as analyses international efforts to protect historic heritage. It is not intended as a comprehensive study of any of the legal systems, but rather as a tool to give the reader the chance to compare the legal techniques used in each different administrative system. The h...

This book contains most of the papers presented in the Eco-Architecture 2010 conference, which was the third edition of the International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature. Previous editions, that were very successful were held previously in the New Forest, UK, in 2006 and the Algarve, Portugal in 2008 and demonstrated the importance of a forum like this to discuss the characteristics and challenges of such architectu...

Providing the essential theoretical framework for understanding elastoplastic behaviour, this text develops the subject of small strain elastoplasticity from classical theory to modern computational techniques.

This text presents an up-to-date review on dam-break problems, along with the main theoretical background and the practical aspects involved in dam failures, design of flood defense structures, prevention measures and the environmental social, economic and forensic aspects related to the topic.

Contains most of the papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, which was held in 2008 in Malta"--Preface.

Biologically inspired optimization methods constitute a rapidly expanding field of research, with new applications appearing on an almost daily basis, as optimization problems of ever-increasing complexity appear in science and technology. This book provides a general introduction to such optimization methods.

Containing papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development, this text presents research related to different aspects of ecosystems and sustainable development, including physical sciences and modeling.

This book deals with the fundamental principles underlying the environmental degradation of widely used and economically important construction materials. The invited contributions cover aspects such as the deterioration mechanisms of materials and metal corrosion, environmental pollutants, micro- and macro-climatic factors affecting degradation, the economic impact of damaging processes, and fundamental protection techniques for buildings, in...
