Integrated Water Management in Urban Areas

Authors: Janusz Niemczynowicz

Online since: June 1996

Description: The continuing growth of urban populations throughout the world is one of the most frightening problems of today. The problems of megacities, i.e. those with more than 10 million inhabitants and which are growing fastest in developing countries, must be fully recognized within the context of the world environment.

Aluminium Alloys - ICAA5

Edited by: J.H. Driver, B. Dubost, F. Durand, R. Fougeres, P. Guyot, P. Sainfort and M. Suery

Online since: May 1996

Description: The present work addresses every aspect - from experiment to modelling - of the physical metallurgy of aluminium alloys; with particular emphasis being placed on processing, microstructures and final properties. The entire gamut of material applications is covered here, including transportation, packaging and building, and all Al-based materials are considered, such as Al-Li alloys, laminates, composites, and ultrafine structures prepared using conventional or novel techniques.
