Sommario/riassunto

While extensive research has been performed on many technological aspects of permeable reactive barriers and a number of contaminants have so far been successfully treated by PRB systems, long-term performance has not been extensively considered and little is known about the processes influencing long-term behaviour. This gap in our knowledge is all the more disadvantageous as design life has a decisive influence on the economic viability of PRBs.  The book describes methods for evaluation and enhancement of the long-term performance of PRB systems, especially of those targeting heav

Sommario/riassunto

In an age of intense economic competition and continual change, the



ability to learn is a key factor in survival and prosperity. This book examines the changing interaction of the world economy, Britain's prospects for prosperity, the connections between different kinds of work and the learning that support them. Focusing on specific areas where changed attitudes and ways of working are long overdue, the authors show the need for a better balance between formal provision in schools, colleges and within employment, and less tangible informal learning at home and in the workplace. These, in t
