Book Description
Nonprofit organizations are suffering from the continuing economic downturn. Donations are decreasing while demand for services is growing, forcing these organizations to be increasingly efficient and effective with their funds. This book introduces the reader to the basic concepts of project management. It provides approaches and templates to help nonprofit managers quickly implement practices to help them manage their limited resources, both financial and volunteer. The book also provides a tool to help the project team determine which practices are most appropriate. The book explores how social media and other technology tools can be used to assist in the management of time-sensitive projects and shows how project portfolio management can be a tool to assist in communications with boards of directors and other governing entities. The project portfolio is a tool that development office managers can easily implement and adopt to facilitate resource assignment. Finally, the book offers three case studies of nonprofit projects that went awry and shows how project management would have assisted.

Pages : 572
Book Description
This book provides a user-friendly introduction to convection in porous media, such as fibrous insulation, geological strata, and catalytic reactors with applications in building insulation, energy storage, nuclear-waste disposal, coal and grain storage, chemical reactor engineering, groundwater flow, and convection in snow. The presentation is self-contained, requiring only routine classical mathematics and the basics of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. 264 illus.

Book Description
In this book we have tried to provide a user-friendly introduction to the topic of convection in porous media. We have assumed that the reader is conversant with the basic elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, but otherwise the book is self-contained. Only routine classical mathematics is employed. We hope that the book will be useful both as a review (for reference) and as a tutorial work (suitable as a textbook in a graduate course or seminar). This book brings into perspective the voluminous research that has been performed during the last two decades. The field has recently exploded because of worldwide concern with issues such as energy self-sufficiency and pollution of the environment. Areas of application include the insulation of buildings and equipment, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering, and the storage of heat-generating materials such as grain and coal. Geophysical applications range from the flow of groundwater around hot intrusions to the stability of snow against avalanches.
