Preveously hypothesized that microbial reductive dissolution of As-containing Fe(III) oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) responsible for releasing of As in the Bengal Delta Plain (BDP) aquifers. But FeOOH is a secondary phase formed via chemical weathering of basic minerals. No one observed groundwater As concentration in shallow (i.e.<10 m depth)aquifer sediments. At that depth, reduction of FeOOH is expected to occur, since the greatest biogeochemical act...

This work systematically investigates and reconstructs the practical knowledge Galileo shared during his lifetime. Galileo shared many aspects of practical knowledge.These included the methods and experience of foremen and engineers active within various frameworks. Galileo did not always react to such scientific impulses in the same way. On the one hand, he not only shared practical knowledge, but also acted as an engineer, especially within ...

This book has two main goals. The first is to give an account, called Variabilism, of the moral significance of merely possible persons—persons who, relative to a particular circumstance, or possible future or world, could but in fact never do exist. The second is to use Variabilism to illuminate abortion. According to Variabilism, merely possible persons—just like anyone else—matter morally but matter variably. Where we understand that a pe...

It is now accepted that humans are changing the climate of the Earth and this is the most compelling amongst a long litany of reasons as to why, collectively, we have to change our ways of thinking and acting. Most people now recognise that we have to be capable of adapting quickly as new and uncertain circumstances emerge: this capability will need to exist at personal, group, community, regional, national and international levels, all at the...

As modern society relies on the fault-free operation of complex computing systems, system fault-tolerance has become an indispensable requirement. Therefore, we need mechanisms that guarantee correct service in cases where system components fail, be they software or hardware elements. Redundancy patterns are commonly used, for either redundancy in space or redundancy in time. Wolter’s book details methods of redundancy in time that need to be ...

One of Alexandre Dumas's first successful historical plays (1831), Napoleon Bonaparte tells the story of the great Emperor's rise to power during the French Revolution--and his eventual fall and death--tying his story to the rise and fall of France during the same period. This is the first translation of this major historical work into English.
