        Forest Hydrology

        Processes, Management and Assessment

        by Devendra Amatya, Thomas Williams, Leon Bren, Carmen de Jong

        Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. This book: - Presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies - Describes the latest challenges facing forest hydrology, such as increased occurrence of disturbance, due to extreme floods, drought, disease, and fire, potentially caused by climate change - Is written by an internationally renowned team of scientists, engineers, and managers to give a well-rounded review of the subject The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes. ; This book presents cutting edge thinking and assessments in forest hydrology across all latitudes and terrains, including state-of-the-art modelling techniques and methodologies.

        Frozen Blood

        by F.G. Haghenbeck

        In 1943 the Mexican government imprisoned mexican citizens who were descendants of Germans (considered to be possible traitors) in the Perote concentration camp, inside the old fortress of San Carlos. More than five hundred people were locked in those high mountains, surrounded by only cold and humidity.   This is in one of the most secret passages in Mexican history. In the middle of a harsh and snowy winter, the prisoners will have to face something more than the Mexican government when a gigantic pre-Hispanic god awakens from his millennial hibernation ready to regain lost power: Xipe Tótec, a flayed lord.   The stark deity will cause terror among Austrians and Germans, who will have to confront terrifying ancient magic, suspicion hanging over their heads, and their own uncontrollable demons.

        Analytical Techniques

        by Gopal Krishna

        This book entitled Livestock Nutrition: Analytical Techniques lucidly explain recommended and standard methods of analysis. Latest methods of Bomb calorimetry, Isothermal, Adiabatic and Ballistic, non-protein nitrogen fractions, oxalic acid in feeds and fodders, cyanides in plants, nitrate and nitrite in forages, thioglucoside in rapeseed meal, free gossypol in cottonseed meal and aflatoxins in feed have been explained in a simple and illustrative way. Additional methods of desoxyribonuleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) analysis in animal tissues, non-esterified fatty acid, total lipids in serum or plasma Iipase, blood glucose, cholesterol and urea, biuret method for protein content in wheat, fractions of total lipids eg. cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol are given in a very simple way, along with examples of calculations of results. Method of urea estimation in animal feed as an adulterant is described in detail. This book provides essential information for undergraduate and postgraduate degree students in Food Science and Technology.
