This volume on geotechnics and soft soil engineering therefore treats all phases of the design and construction process exhaustively, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of constructed work. The book presents the development concepts necessary for the project stages and discusses in great detail construction methods, displacement estimations, stability analyses, monitoring, and various other aspects involved. Extensive attention is furthermore paid to the application of geosynthetics as a toSoil stabilizationElectronic books.Soil stabilization.624.15136Almeida Marcio(Marcio S.

Humans that were nomadic in the past can now stably obtain food by developing agriculture. Cities were formed as a result of remarkable development. Later, chemicals were introduced to agriculture to stabilize the food supply further. Natural products were initially used, but various artificial compounds have been developed for agriculture since the 1900s. To further improve crop productivity and diversification, gene recombination (genetic engineering) using biotechnology has progressed in recent years and continues to develop further. However, these technologies contain pesticide residues and pose safety risks. The innovative new agriculture explained in this book is based on the use of microwaves and plasma that do not rely on chemicals and genetic modification. This is one of the first books focusing on the agricultural usage of microwaves. In addition, it is a technical book that incorporates plasma into agriculture from this perspective. The book covers microwaves and plasmas, which are completely different fields. Thus, it will be attractive to many readers who want to acquaint themselves with these alternative technologies and implement them.　This book will be useful to a broad audience including researchers and technicians at Universities and practitioners in industries. It is made accessible to readers across different fields by including abundant figures and by limiting the use of equations to the possible extent.Biomedical and Life Sciences SeriesAgricultureTelecommunicationFood scienceElectrical engineeringAgricultureMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical CommunicationsFood ScienceElectrical and Electronic EngineeringInnovacions agrícolesthubLlibres electrònicsthubAgriculture.Telecommunication.Food science.Electrical engineering.Agriculture.Microwaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications.Food Science.Electrical and Electronic Engineering.Innovacions agrícoles016.016Horikoshi Satoshi,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910743377903321Agritech : innovative agriculture using microwaves and plasmas3559323UNINA
