This is a translation of "Histoire de la geologie, tome 2". It covers theories and the theory of the Earth, collective ideas on the Earth between 1650 and 1830, and the discovery of extinct volcanoes in Europe.

Presenting research on reactive flows, this work covers theoretical aspects, experimental techniques and the development of models implemented in computational fluid dynamics software.

This text provides a process-oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx.

The main objective of this text is to provide a general approach towards structural masonry through an integration of experimental and computational techniques.

Volumes 37 and 38 of this annual published since 1951 include excavational reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaezoology.

This book looks at the application of a new production philosophy, leading to "lean production" (using less space, less human effort, less product development time etc), is expected to change almost every industry and bring about radical changes.

A summary of various internal reports on the research by CUR Research Committee C 75 "Lightweight concrete".

This volume contains papers contributed by experts on developments in geotextiles, geomembranes and other geosynthesis in ground improvement.

This volume presents the proceedings of a symposium on rock mechanics, held in the USA in 1995. Topics covered include: rock dynamics; tool-rock interaction; radioactive waste disposal; underground mining and fragmentation and blasting.

Water-rock interactions play an important role in nearly all physical and chemical processes operating on the Earth's surface and subsurface. This work contains the proceedings of the Eighth International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction.

These proceedings contain the complete papers or abstracts of all the presentations and posters presented at the eighth International Echinoderm Conference, held in Dijon, France in September, 1994. Coverage includes: extinct classes; crinoids; asteroids; ophiuroids; holothuroids; and echinoids.

Illustrating the variety of geoscience mapping, this book shows the importance of geosciences in dealing with 21st century issues and concerns. Topics covered include volcanic hazards, landslides, tsunami and much more.

The papers in this volume have been grouped according to the main sub-themes of the congress and primarily deal with the biodiversity issues of invasive crustacea, ecology and behaviour and fisheries and aquaculture.

This text deals with certain geological aspects of the extreme geographical locations of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula. Topics include Brazil - geology and vertebrate paleontology, and others.

This annual covers excavation reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaeozoology. Topics covered include the Allerod vegetation of southeastern Friesland, and Bronze Age metal and amber in the Netherlands.

This text looks at sediment transport, two-phase flow and loose boundary hydraulics which are some of the names used to identify problems of interaction between fluid flow (water or air) and its boundaries that may be non-cohesive (alluvial).

Summarizing tracing techniques in geohydrology, this book contains chapters written by specialists in the fields of geology, hydrology, chemistry, virology, engineering and isotopes. The accompanying CD aids the analysis of tracing test data.

Observational and numerical modelling studies of the hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and light extinction were undertaken in the marine environment around Cape Bolinao in the Lingayen Gulf (NW Philippines). This text reports on the results.

Deals with studies related to modelling and/or field investigation of flexible sluiceway, spliced piles, levee in the Po Delta, Italy, geogrid reinforcements and mechanically stabilized earth in various kinds of soft and compressible soils.

Providing an assessment of the state of knowledge on the Tasman Sea Basin, this text covers topics including the geological and geophysical aspects of Gondwana break-up, paleooceanography, oxygen-isotope records, distribution patterns and more.

This volume covers topics involving large plastic deformation of metallic materials. These proceedings offer an overview of the synergism achieved by combining microstructural characterization and understanding, and mechanical modelling.

Comprises the proceedings of a conference on geotechnical waste management and contamination. Coverage ranges from remediation of contaminated sites to design and management of landfills.

This reference work on the flora of Ceylon describes every plant family, including: araliaceae; caricacae; dilleniaceae; fabaceae; loganiaceae; oleaceae; plataginaceae; portulacaceae; rhamnaceae; theaceae; tiliaceae; and violoaceae.

This text deals with the estimation, prediction and improvement of the durability of building structures and constructions from composite materials with inorganic, organic and mixed binders.

This is a translation of "Fazovie Prevrazheniya i Petrogenez". Earthquakes, tectonic movements and magmatic activities are considered as different manifestations of the same physico-mechanical process.

Geophysics is seen as a very useful exploration tool and has assisted in the development of such methods as gravimetry, electromagnetics and seismic reflection. This handbook is presented as an encyclopaedia, comprising definitions and formulae.

Containing 13 papers and two short communications, this volume considers paleoecology. The areas of investigation are located in the north African arid belt between the Atlantic coast in the west and the Red Sea in the east.

This text includes coverage of the following topics: hydrodynamic principles of the study of groundwater movement; physical principles of study of groundwater movement; and hydrodynamic principles of groundwater flow on the hydro geological systems.

Considers the history of the world of crustacea. Topics covered include the beginning of Portugese carcinology; the development of brachyuran crab tascononry in the Neotropics (1535-1937); reflections on crab research in North America since 1758; and carcinology in classical Japanese works.
