Book Description
Ever since the first man-made Earth satellite was launched in 1957, the scientific community has undertaken extensive and intensive studies of the atmospheric density at satellite altitudes. The critical impact of the neutral density upon orbital motion motivated research at various institutions and resulted in diverse models, developed for a wide range of space systems and mission applications. Topics for the presentations were selected to provide information and to generate discussion among the conference participants. The specific session topics included: Examine the status of the current operational requirements and operational difficulties; Assess the state-of-the-art atmospheric neutral density models and operational feasibilities; Identify the available databases and additional data necessary for further improvements; Address the operational standardization/compatibility issues; Consolidate the near-term and long-term research and development activities, inter-agency cooperation/collaboration and funding support; and, Generate and document recommendations and action items. Symposia. (JHD).

Global Re-introduction Perspectives
Author: Pritpal S. SooraePublisher: IUCN
ISBN: 283171320X
Category : Animals
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
"This is the second issue in the Global Re-introduction Perspectives series and has been produced in the same standardized format as the previous one. The case-studies are arranged in the following order: Introduction, Goals, Success Indicators, Project Summary, Major Difficulties Faced, Major Lessons Learned, Success of Project with reasons for success or failure. For this second issue we received a total of 72 case-studies compared to 62 in the last issue. These case studies cover the following taxa as follows: invertebrates (9), fish (6), amphibians (5), reptiles (7), birds (13), mammals (20) and plants (12) ... We hope the information presented in this book will provide a broad global perspective on challenges facing re-introduction projects trying to restore biodiversity."--Pritpal S. Soorae.
The Rule of Logistics
Author: Jesse LeCavalierPublisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452951535
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Every time you wheel a shopping cart through one of Walmart’s more than 10,000 stores worldwide, or swipe your credit card or purchase something online, you enter a mind-boggling logistical regime. Even if you’ve never shopped at Walmart, its logistics have probably affected your life. The Rule of Logistics makes sense of its spatial and architectural ramifications by analyzing the stores, distribution centers, databases, and inventory practices of the world’s largest corporation. The Rule of Logistics tells the story of Walmart’s buildings in the context of the corporation’s entire operation, itself characterized by an obsession with logistics. Beginning with the company’s founding in 1962, Jesse LeCavalier reveals how logistics—as a branch of knowledge, an area of work, and a collection of processes—takes shape and changes our built environment. Weaving together archival material with original drawings, LeCavalier shows how a diverse array of ideas, people, and things—military theory and chewing gum, Howard Dean and satellite networks, Hudson River School painters and real estate software, to name a few—are all connected through Walmart’s logistical operations and in turn are transforming how its buildings are conceptualized, located, built, and inhabited. A major new contribution to architectural history and theory, The Rule of Logistics helps us understand how retailing today is changing our bodies, brains, buildings, and cities and predicts what future forms architecture might take when shaped by systems that exceed its current capacities.
