Reddy R: Recent Trends in Environmental
Pollution and its Impact on Human Health

Recent Trends in Environmental Pollution and its Impact on Human Health

This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.

Designing for Kids helps design students and professionals dive deeply into building a child-centered design practice, providing them with the knowledge, skills and tools to create products with a positive impact on child development, learning, play, and well-being.This fully updated second edition incorporates current and emerging childhood research and analysis that impacts the design process. It includes topics such as digital technology and AI, mental health, identity, climate change, sustainability, and children with disabilities. It supports college classes, company onboarding, and professional settings where young people are the end users of products and designed experiences. In addition to insights from professional designers, this edition also includes interviews with child psychologists, and diverse case studies from North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand from various industries and contexts. From these, readers will learn updated design approaches and how incorporate them into their work to create products and services for a global market. This textbook offer readers more than 150 color images, helpful discussion questions, practical frameworks, skill-building assignments, and debate questions that have been tested in conference workshops, colleges, nonprofits, and corporations.It is written for product designers who want to build more play value into toys, furniture, or schools; architects designing regenerative playgrounds, museum exhibits or children's hospitals; and technologists seeking ethical and educational approaches to interactive games and learning systems. Readers will build a strong foundation in designing for and with children, learning how to create developmentally appropriate and culturally relevant designs. This book will provide the skills and foundational understanding of how to design impactful products, services, and experiences that spark joy and support young people to thrive.

Advances in Magnetic Resonance Technology and Applications

Advanced MR Techniques for Neurodegenerative Diseases covers state of the art developments in physiologic, metabolic, functional, and microstructural MRI of the brain. It provides an overview of these approaches and includes dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI, arterial spin labeling (ASL), chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI), microscopic diffusion imaging, and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). Chapters then follow that present the application of these methods to Alzheimer’s Disease and vascular dementia, small vessel disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Lewy body dementia, Huntington’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Multiple Sclerosis. Advanced MR Techniques for Neurodegenerative Diseases is a comprehensive resource on the latest advanced MR techniques and their application to neurodegenerative diseases, suitable for MR engineers and physicists as well as clinicians and neuroscientists who use MR techniques for diagnosis and research.

Statistics in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment details how statistics plays an essential role in every step of an environmental monitoring and assessment program, from the sampling design to the data management, and data analysis methods to extract meaningful information for environmental quality management.Large temporal and spatial variations of the environmental variables present a great challenge for producing a representative characterization of the status of any given environmental media, water, air, biota, or solid. This book explains these issues in an easy-to-understand manner and illustrates using actual applications in real-life case studies, each of which comes with a clear explanation for every related fundamental concept and methodology that details the statistical methods used in the analysis and considerations taken when using a particular method.Primarily intended for graduate students in environmental sciences who wish to use statistics as a research tool, it will also benefit researchers who are interested in applications of statistical methods for designing environmental monitoring programs and analysis of environmental data to assess the status of various environmental matrices. This book is organised in three parts with Part I providing a review of the basics of statistics, Part II focusing on sampling designs, and Part III focusing on applications of statistical methods for data analysis.

Urban Air Pollution and Plant Responses: The Critical Connection Between Urban Air Quality and Plants delves into the complex relationship between urban air pollution and plants, examining how plants are affected by air pollutants in urban environments. An expert group of contributing authors explores the nature and sources of urban air pollutants, highlighting the challenges posed by poor air quality in urban areas. The chapters cover various plant responses to urban air pollution, including physiological, morphological, and biochemical reactions. Additionally, the book addresses the impact of urban air pollution on agriculture and discusses the role of plants in producing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their effects on air pollution. Sustainable urban planning strategies, innovations in urban greening, and policy and management approaches are explored as means to improve air quality and create healthier urban landscapes. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the critical connection between urban air quality, air pollution, and plant health, offering insights and solutions for achieving sustainable, cleaner growth in urban areas.

Written by scholars and activists, Atlas of Green Energy Transitions: Frontiers of Power, Conflict, and Possibilities employs immersive first-person narrative descriptions and rich imagery to tell the oft-revealing stories of contestation, exploitation, and complication within the landscapes upon which the world's green energy transition depends: the unsanctioned cobalt mines of the Congo, the solar farms clearing vast tracts of the Mojave Desert, the scattered e-waste operations of Zimbabwe, among others. Organized around the global supply chain, each chapter traces an abiotic protagonist from extraction to consumption, exploring the ecological and cultural contexts of its use in renewable energy technologies.In response to these stories, counternarratives propose alternatives to silver-bullet ecomodernism, advocating for just practices and reciprocal relationships with our host landscapes. Grounded in the specificity of place, the collection heightens awareness of land relations and global interconnection. It not only engages with the urgent realities of the energy transition but also showcases landscape architecture's unique ability to visualize environmental challenges, prompt interdisciplinary action, and imagine transformative futures. The book targets an audience of students and practitioners of the built environment while seeking to inspire the inner designer in all readers.
