This book discusses various aspects of percolation mechanics. It starts with the driving forces and driving modes and then examines in detail the steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluids, percolation law of natural gas and percolation of non-Newtonian fluids. Progressing from simple to complex concepts, it also analyzes Darcy’s law, providing a basis for the study of res…
This book explores the current challenges with regard to uncertainty and risk in water management, as well as the interlinkages between drought and water management. It focuses on the challenges for water management organisations, which are expected to adapt to such changes and implement adaptive water management. The book proposes a methodology for assessing organisations’ adaptive capaci…
This book presents general problems in geoarchaeology, and discusses geophysical solutions, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry applications, X-ray and isotope analyses and GIS technologies. It also examines practical reconstructions of technological processes used in ancient time, and investigates the use of minerals and rocks by ancient societies in the territories of modern Russia, Ukraine, Turk…
This book collects a series of review articles summarizing the outcomes of collaborative research projects on the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, two of the largest and most disastrous earthquakes in Asia in the last two decades. The articles cover a broad range of aspects,including these earthquakes’ fundamental mechanisms, kinematics, and the geological and geophys…
This book provides a broad overview of essential features of subsurface environmental modelling at the science-policy interface, offering insights into the potential challenges in the field of subsurface flow and transport, as well as the corresponding computational modelling and its impact on the area of policy- and decision-making. The book is divided into two parts: Part I presents models, m…
This book addresses the quantitative measurement of climate change vulnerability at the macro and micro-level and identifies household adaptation strategies to cope with the adverse effects of climate change. Focusing on five different agro-climatic regions of West Bengal: the hill region, foothill region, drought region, and coastal regions of Sunderban and Purba Midnapore, it presents researc…
Cooking oil is one of the basic human needs which is used every day to process foods. Cooking oil is able to conduct heat, provide a savory taste, crunchy texture, brown color and increase the nutritional value of food. Bulk cooking oil is cooking oil that is only filtered once. Bulk cooking oil may be originated from packaged cooking oil that is rejected due to leaks on the packaging. The purp…
This study aims to identify some local rice varieties of South Sumatra that are tolerant of drought stress using PEG 6000 solution and PCR. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of the Department of Agricultural Cultivation, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, located in Indralaya, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra. The research was held from July to December 2022. There were 2…

The objectives of this study were to; 1) Analyze the level of adoption of farmer innovation towards the use of alsintan technology in Keramasan Village, Kertapa…
The research aimed to determine the effect of a mixture of winged bean seed flour (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) and sago flour (Metroxylon sp) as well as duration of heating on the characteristics of kulit lumpia. The research was designed as a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with two treatment factors and each treatment was repeated twice. The first factor was the ratio of flour use …
Non Tidal swamp land often suffers from nutrient deficiencies, including potassium (K) deficiency, which can limit plant growth and productivity. To overcome this problem, the use of ecoenzymes and compost has become the focus of research in increasing the availability of nutrients and plant growth in swampland. This study aims to examine the effect of ecoenzyme and compost on the availability …
Cooking oil is one of the staple food that is very important to meet the needs of household consumption. The high need for cooking oil makes people often use cooking oil repeatedly with the aim of saving purchases. Cooking oil that is used repeatedly can reduce the quality of fried foodstuffs and cause various diseases. The objectives of this study were: (1) to estimate the amount of packaged c…
