      Geomatics in Energy and Water Resources

      by SM. Ramasamy & S.Thillai Govindarajan

      Due to unprecedented growth in population and the resultant massive mining of energy resources, especially the non-renewable resources and also water resources, these resources have gradually become scarce commodities. Hence the geoscientists and the technocrats from all over the world have embarked into many fold research programmes for locating newer reservoirs of these resources and also to develop models to conserve and sustainably exploit them. remoAs this involves the total understanding of the rock types, tectonic architecture, geomorphology and reservoir conditions, the Geomatics technology comprising Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS), etc have been found to be vital tools in the inventory and management of these resources; While the former due to its synoptivity, multispectral nature and repeativity and the latter by virtue of its capability to store, manipulate and model huge volume of spatial and non-spatial data. Divergent geological provinces and processes are brought out deserving concepts and methods on geology, 3D visualization of subsurface lineaments, SRTM based lineament mapping, spatio-linear modeling of hard rock aquifer systems, 3D visualization of oil bearing structures, etc., both as field geologists and as researchers.

      Pongamia for Bio-Energy and Better Environment

      by M.V.R. Prasad

      Pongamia pinnata is also credited with several preventive and curative properties as established by Ayurvedic medicine. It may be recalled that in the decades of nineteen seventies a few villages reaped sustainable incomes in the face of acute and chronic droughts that plagued the nation, solely due to the availability of some old Pongamia / karanj tree stands around those zones. Kranj oil has exhibited promise as a source of green energy. Nevertheless, the research on improvement of Karanj and its management as a productive plantation is nebulous. It is heartening that the Monograph on Karanj by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad fills this void. Dr. Prasad has been pursuing the work on oil bearing perennial trees of which Pongamaia pinnata has been studied in greater detail during the decades starting from nineteen eighties to date. The Monograph describes clearly as to how Pongamia pinnata could be harnessed to exploit the proven and potential benefits cited above, in addition to giving valuable information on its genetic improvement and plantation management.

      Privatising humanity

      How our essential human needs became financial assets

      by Kate Bayliss

      A powerful exposé of how finance turns our basic human needs into assets. We have entered a new era of turbo-charged financial extraction. Having amassed huge reserves, global finance capital is seeking out fresh areas for profitable investments. Nothing and no one is safe. In Privatising humanity, Kate Bayliss shows how investment banks and hedge funds target our essential services, while simultaneously extending their reach into lower-income countries. When it comes to investments in these sectors, shareholder profits are funded by us, the end-users and tax-payers who simply wish to meet our basic human needs for water, warmth and shelter. We have no alternative but to pay into these structures that generate massive returns for the rich. Unpacking the details of these processes in three sectors in the UK - water, energy and housing - Bayliss exposes the devastating consequences of this model, which is driving inequality to levels not seen in a century.

      African cities and collaborative futures

      Urban platforms and metropolitan logistics

      by Michael Keith, Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos, Susan Parnell

      This groundbreaking volume brings together scholars from across the globe to discuss the infrastructure, energy, housing, safety and sustainability of African cities, as seen through local narratives of residents. Drawing on a variety of fields and extensive first-hand research, the contributions offer a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues confronting urban Africa in the twenty-first century. At a time when the future of the region as a whole will be determined in large part by its cities, the implications of these developments are profound. With case studies from cities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania, this volume explores how the rapid growth of African cities is reconfiguring the relationship between urban social life and its built forms. While the most visible transformations in cities today can be seen as infrastructural, these manifestations are cultural as well as material, reflecting the different ways in which the city is rationalised, economised and governed. How can we 'see like a city' in twenty-first-century Africa, understanding the urban present to shape its future? This is the central question posed throughout this volume, with a practical focus on how academics, local decision makers and international practitioners can collaborate to meet the challenge of rapid growth, environmental pressures and resource gaps.

      by N. L. Panwar& Neelam Rathore

      In the modern day, it is imperative to establish a circular economy that uses sustainable approaches for waste management. Furthermore, the main fuel sources for the transportation industry, fossil fuels, are now running dangerously low. Environments and energy are essential components of daily living and provide a path for our sustainable development. Therefore, we need to find renewable resources to make biofuels in order to address these global concerns without adding to our carbon footprint. Due to their widespread use as primary energy sources, fossil fuels pose a threat to their depletion and the production of numerous hazardous greenhouse gases. This calls for the effective use of energy as well as access to alternate energy sources, such as bioenergy. The supply of biomass, the competition between the different applications of biomass, and sustainability issues are always key concerns for the deployment of bioenergy. Under such circumstances, agricultural waste materials are becoming more and more well-liked as readily available and reasonably priced substitutes for fossil fuels in the manufacturing of a range of products with added value, such as fuel additives, fuel components, and renewable fuels. Beyond the energy and climate aims, the production of bioenergy holds great promise for a number of social, economic, and environmental benefits. Bioenergy is essential for improving agricultural opportunities and promoting sustainable development in rural areas. With the production of food, water, ecosystems, and health as well as bioenergy synergies, careful planning and management can result in a number of benefits. The book "Biomass Valorization for Energy and Bioproducts" offers comprehensive technical details on cutting-edge catalytic processes and technologies that facilitate the creation of all potential alternate energy fuels.

      Energy and Protein Requirements of Ruminants

      by Edited by Geoffrey Alderman

      This book is an officially authorised advisory manual that implements the recommendations on the energy and protein requirements of cattle, sheep and goats made by the AFRC Technical Committee on Responses to Nutrients (TCORN) since its establishment in 1982. TCORN has produced a series of numbered reports including No. 5 in 1990 on ‘Nutrient Requirements on Ruminant Animals: Energy’ and in 1992, No. 9 ‘Nutrient Requirements of Ruminant Animals: Protein’. The former recommended, with only minor modifications, the adoption of the AFRC’s 1980 Technical Review’s full recommendations on energy requirements of ruminants, while the latter recommended the adoption of a protein system based on Metabolisable Protein as the unit. Opportunity has been taken to include material from TCORN Report No. 8, 1991 on the ‘Voluntary Intake of Silage by Cattle’ and from an unpublished TCORN Report on the ‘Nutrition of Goats’. The current volume presents these recommendations in a practical form designed for use by advisors, farmers, lecturers, research workers and students concerned with the nutrition of ruminant animals. The manual includes 45 tables of requirements (incorporating agreed safety margins) and 29 example diets.
