Post-Fermentation and -Distillation Technology Stabilization Aging and Spoilage

Post-Fermentation and -Distillation Technology Stabilization Aging and Spoilage

While most wine and spirits books focus on vineyard and crop management or fermentation and distillation processes few address critical post process aspects of stabilization aging and spoilage. This book serves as a comprehensive source of information on post-fermentation and -distillation technology applied to wine beer vinegar and distillates in a broad spectrum. Post-Fermentation and -Distillation Technology: Stabilization Aging and Spoilage thoroughly describes all of the operations related to these products after the fermentation or distillation steps focusing on the complex issues related to their stabilization aging and spoilage. The final product must be stable against microbial activity as well as undesirable chemical and physical chemical reactions that occur in the bottle. For example clarity stability compositional adjustment style development and packaging represent the five goals of finishing a wine. Concerning the visual defects associated with spoilage it is crucial that wine at the point of consumption not be cloudy or contain any haze or precipitate especially white wines. Similarly it is also important to prevent unwanted microbial growth from occurring in the wine after the primary fermentation is complete affecting the flavor and aroma profile in unpredicted ways. The book addresses all of these issues and more. Moreover the discussion also involves beer vinegar and distillates giving this book a novel and interesting approach. The book combines referenced research with practical applications and case studies of novel technologies such as square barrels synthetic closures and Tetra Pak®. | Post-Fermentation and -Distillation Technology Stabilization Aging and Spoilage

Spatial Pattern Dynamics in Aquatic Ecosystem Modelling UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Spatial Pattern Dynamics in Aquatic Ecosystem Modelling UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

In this work several modelling approaches are explored to represent spatial pattern dynamics of aquatic populations in aquatic ecosystems by the combination of models knowledge and data in different scales. It is shown that including spatially distributed inputs retrieved from Remote Sensing images a conventional physically-based Harmful Algal Bloom model can be enhanced. Also Cellular Automata based models using high resolution photographs prove to be good in representing aquatic plant growth. Multi-Agent Systems can capture well the spatial patterns exhibited in GIS density maps. A synthesis modelling framework was developed to include biological/ecological growth and diffusive processes and local effects in conventional modelling framework. The results of the complementary modelling paradigms investigated in this research can be of help in achieving a sustainable environmental management strategy. | Spatial Pattern Dynamics in Aquatic Ecosystem Modelling UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

A hydroinformatics system represents an electronic knowledge encapsulator that models part of the real world and can be used for the simulation and analysis of physical chemical and biological processes in water systems in order to achieve a better management of the aquatic environment. Thus modelling is at the heart of hydroinformatics. The theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos and the extent to which recent improvements in the understanding of inherently nonlinear natural processes present challenges to the use of mathematical models in the analysis of water and environmental systems are elaborated in this work. In particular it demonstrates that the deterministic chaos present in many nonlinear systems can impose fundamental limitations on our ability to predict behaviour even when well-defined mathematical models exist. On the other hand methodologies and tools from the theory of nonlinear dynamics and chaos can provide means for a better accuracy of short-term predictions as demonstrated through the practical applications in this work. | Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems

Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Modelling Approaches to Understand Salinity Variations in a Highly Dynamic Tidal River The Case of the Shatt al-Arab River

Modelling Interception and Transpiration at Monthly Time Steps IHE Dissertation 31

Modelling Interception and Transpiration at Monthly Time Steps IHE Dissertation 31

The book presents improved equations for monthly water resources models in particular for interception and transpiration. Most of the existing monthly models do not make a distinction between interception and transipiration while this distinction is very important for management purposes. Interception is direct feedback to the atmosphere important to sustain rainfall. Transpiration is a good indicator for plant growth and biomass production. This distinction also contributes to the estimation of recharge and therewith of runoff. ;The derivations are based on the Markov theory for the occurrence of rain-days. The methodology can be used on the basis of an analysis of a few time series of daily data at a spatial scale of 300km and not necessarily of the same period as the monthly data. Zimbabwe served as the case study but derived equations can be used worldwide as long as the relationship between the monthly rainfall and the mean number of rain-days can be established. | Modelling Interception and Transpiration at Monthly Time Steps IHE Dissertation 31

Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

The book presents machine learning as an approach to building models that learn from data and that can be used to complement the existing modelling practice in aquatic and geotechnical environments. It provides concepts of learning from data and identifies segmentation (clustering) classification regression and control as the learning tasks. A unified methodology based on the concepts of machine learning information theory and statistics is presented that can be followed to build models using data as well as expert knowledge. Several machine learning methods are used to extract features to build data-driven models in geotechnics. A set of regression models are built to predict sediment transport rates and assess harbour sedimentation. Controllers that replicate the control strategy of model-based optimal controllers of water systems are built for situations where fast and accurate decisions are needed. The models built demonstrate excellent performance; they may complement or even replace the existing models and can be used in practice. The performance of the models proves the effectiveness of the methodology and machine learning in general. | Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics

This book aims to overcome the traditional ray paradigm and provide an analytical paradigm for Nonimaging Optics based on Field Theory. As a second objective the authors address the connections between this Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics and other radiative transfer theories. The book introduces the Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics as a new analytical paradigm not statistical to analyze problems in the frame of nonimaging geometrical optics with a formulation based on field theory of irradiance vector D. This new paradigm provides new principles and tools in the optical system design methods complementary to flowline method overcoming the classical ray paradigm. This new Field paradigm can be considered as a generalization of the ray paradigm and new accurate and faster computation algorithms will be developed. In a parallel way the advance in the knowledge of the principles of Field Theory of Nonimaging Optics has produced clear advances in the connection between nonimaging optics and other apparently disconnected theories of radiation transfer. The irradiance vector D can be considered as the macroscopic average of Poynting vector with a clear connection with radiation pressure. Lorentz geometry techniques can also be applied to study irradiance vector D. There are clear thermodynamic connections between the nonimaging concentrator and Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation. From this thermodynamic connection nonimaging optics and irradiance vector D can also be studied from a phase space point of view. This book is intended for researchers graduate students academics and professionals looking to analyze design and optimize optical systems.

Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

This book investigates the world of leading indicators and explores how they can be used effectively providing 21st-century safety professionals with alternative metrics and guidance which will enable them to make a difference in managing risk within an organization. The safety and health profession has been hindered by ineffective metrics for decades with the primary metrics of choice being the OSHA incident rate and lost time accident rate. This narrow focus on what constitutes loss is not in line with the new concepts of managing the total risk that an organization faces. The book looks at indicators on a tactical level where they can be very effective in providing management with clear direction and manageable items they can utilize to elevate the safety efforts of an organization. It also explores the limitations of leading indicators at the strategic level and how they’re tied into the management merit review system to determine bonus and salary increase structures. It features measurements of areas of loss not usually considered by safety managers suggests ways to use leading indicators and promotes a departure from traditional body count thinking. This book will be of interest to safety professionals involved in risk management in the modern workplace. | Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional
