Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

The history of mining is replete with controversy of which much is related to environmental damage and consequent community outrage. Over recent decades this has led to increased pressure to improve the environmental and social performance of mining operations particularly in developing countries. The industry has responded by embracing the ideals of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Mining and the Environment identifies and discusses the wide range of social and environmental issues pertaining to mining with particular reference to mining in developing countries from where many of the project examples and case studies have been selected. Following an introductory overview of pressing issues the book illustrates how environmental and social impact assessment such as defined in The Equator Principles integrates with the mining lifecycle and how environmental and social management aims to eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive mining impacts. Practical approaches are provided for managing issues ranging from land acquisition and resettlement of Indigenous peoples to the technical aspects of acid rock drainage and mine waste management. Moreover thorough analyses of ways and means of sharing non-transitory mining benefits with host communities are presented to allow mining to provide sustainable benefits for the affected communities. This second edition of Mining and the Environment includes new chapters on Health Impact Assessment Biodiversity and Gender Issues all of which have become more important since the first edition appeared a decade ago. The wide coverage of issues and the many real-life case studies make this practice-oriented book a reference and key reading. It is intended for environmental consultants engineers regulators and operators in the field and for students to use as a course textbook. As much of the matter applies to the extractive industries as a whole it will also serve environmental professionals in the oil and gas industries. Karlheinz Spitz and John Trudinger both have multiple years of experience in the assessment of mining projects around the world. The combination of their expertise and knowledge about social economic and environmental performance of mining and mine waste management has resulted in this in-depth coverage of the requirements for responsible and sustainable mining. | Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

The core content of even the most intricate intellectual edifices is often a simple fact or idea. So is it with quantum mechanics; the entire mathematical fabric of the formal description of quantum mechanics stems essentially from the fact that quantum probabilities interfere (i. e. from the superposition principle). This book is dedicated to substantiating this claim. In the process the book tries to demonstrate how the factual content of quantum mechanics can be transcribed in the formal language of vector spaces and linear transformations by disentangling the empirical content from the usual formal description. More importantly it tries to bring out what this transcription achieves. The book uses a pedagogic strategy which reverse engineers the postulates of quantum mechanics to device a schematic outline of the empirical content of quantum mechanics from which the postulates are then reconstructed step by step. This strategy is adopted to avoid the disconcerting details of actual experiments (however simplified) to spare the beginner of issues that lurk in the fragile foundations of the subject. In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics the key idea is measurement. But measurement carries an entirely different meaning from the connotation that the term carries elsewhere in physics. This book strives to underline this as strongly as possible. The book is intended as an undergraduate text for a first course in quantum mechanics. Since the book is self contained it may also be used by enthusiastic outsiders interested to get a glimpse of the core content of the subject. Features: Demonstrates why linear algebra is the appropriate mathematical language for quantum mechanics. Uses a reconstructive approach to motivate the postulates of quantum mechanics. Builds the vocabulary of quantum mechanics by showing how the entire body of its conceptual ingredients can be constructed from the single notion of quantum measurement. | An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

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

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice

There is considerable uncertainty about what level of traffic loading bridges should be designed for. Codes specify notional load models generally to represent extreme levels of normal traffic but these are often crude and have inconsistent levels of safety for different load effects. Over the past few decades increasing quantities of reliable truck weight data has become available and it is now possible to calculate appropriate levels of bridge traffic loading both for specific bridges and for a road network. Bridge Traffic Loading brings together experts from all over the world to deliver not just the state-of-the-art of vertical loading but also to provide recommendations of best-practice for all the major challenges in the field – short-span single and multi-lane bridge loading dynamic allowance and long-span bridges. It reviews issues that continue to be debated such as which statistical distribution is most appropriate whether free-flowing or congested traffic governs and dealing with future traffic growth. Specialist consultants and bridge owners should find this invaluable as will regulators. | Bridge Traffic Loading From Research to Practice
