The increase in urbanization over the past 200 years has been one of the major geographical developments. This has skyrocketed internationally in recent years, especially in developing nations. Governments, planners, and researchers in geography and related fields must comprehend this process, and the primary means of doing so is by creating precise maps of these changes. Remote sensing is the primary technique used in this mapping. This current analysis of the field examines a broad range of approaches that are currently being employed in the production and analysis of remotely sensed urban data. The writers look at the different methods for obtaining data from digital multispectral photos of cities. Subsequently, Donnay and Barnsley examine the identification of urban forms, the demarcation of agglomerations, and the evolution of urban morphology. They also take into account the analysis of surface models and integrated data sets before examining the estimation of human population levels.
Textile Sizing documents the rapidly changing scenario in textile processing and sizing research, assisting you in keeping up with the field's rapid developments. The authors examine the effects of fiber qualities, yarn quality, sizing procedures and materials, as well as chemical and mechanical phenomena, on effective textile development and manufacturing. They also analyze new fibers, spinning techniques, and weaving methods that have an impact on textile production. Throughout the text, there are numerous tables that offer detailed instructions on the various procedures related to textile sizing. This reference aids you in understanding the importance and necessity of sizing techniques in the contemporary textile industry. Estimate how effective their sizing techniques will be. Modern instrumentation techniques, warping and sizing operations, and master process controls Examine advancements in draw warping and system sizing to minimize operating expenses. Recognize the significance of desizing and the impact it has on environmental pollution and size recovery. Examine the warp's behavior during weaving and the variations in structure between different yarns. Textile sizing is a vital resource for industrial, manufacturing, textile, fiber, and composite engineers; upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these fields; and physical, surface, colloid, textile, materials, polymer, and fiber chemists.
A foundational book for engineering hydrology students who want to work as consultants, at the Environment Agency, and other places. It can be used by second and final year undergraduate hydrology students (as well as MSc students) in engineering, environmental science, and geography departments worldwide.
