Synopsis

Riverbank Collapse Zones explores the complex phenomenon of riverbank collapse, a growing concern in Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environmental studies. It explains how seemingly stable riverbanks can become vulnerable due to a combination of factors. The book highlights the importance of understanding the convergence of soil saturation, often worsened by increased rainfall, current speed, especially during floods, and weight pressure from structures or sediment. These factors weaken the soil and lead to potentially catastrophic failures.

 
The book systematically examines the roles of soil mechanics, hydrology, and fluvial geomorphology. It uses case studies and various data to dissect how soil saturation, current speed, and weight pressure trigger collapse events. Mitigation strategies, incorporating an understanding of all contributing factors, offer the most effective approach to reducing risk. This interdisciplinary approach bridges geomorphology, hydrology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental planning, providing a complete understanding of the problem.

 
Unique to this book is its emphasis on practical applications, providing a framework for identifying and mitigating riverbank collapse hazards. The authors outline methodologies for assessing riverbank stability, designing effective erosion control measures, and implementing sustainable land management practices. The book’s approach and accessible tone makes complex scientific concepts understandable to a broad audience.

    The Decision Intelligence...

    Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
     
     
     
    But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
     
     
     
    With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
     
     
     
    This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
     
     
     
    ● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
     
     
     
    ● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
     
     
     
    ● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?

    Your buddy is planning a trip to England; his salary is likewise in rubles, and the national currency in England is the pound sterling. 
      
    What will your pal do?  
      
    Of course, he'll go to a currency exchange to convert his hard-earned rubles into British pounds. 
      
    Your mum planned to go to Norway to see a friend. What is the current Norwegian currency? The Norwegian Krone Mom's pension is in Russian rubles...  
    Mom's behavior is predictable: she will travel to an exchange office to exchange her hard-earned rubles for Norwegian krone.  
    However, there was no crown at this exchange office since they did not deliver for some reason.  
    Then your mother was offered to purchase American cash - dollars rather than Norwegian kroner. Mom is perplexed: "I have bucks, but I don't want to travel to America for the promenade, but to my buddy in Norway!" And they explain to her: It's nothing - you'll exchange your dollars for Norwegian krone at the exchange office in Norway and enjoy life much more... 
      
    And, although your uncle did not travel anywhere he did not plan to, he has additional money.  
    So, my uncle predicted that the Swiss franc would rise against the ruble, so he went to the exchange office and simply exchanged Swiss francs for rubles, hoping that the rate would rise and his ruble savings would rise as well. Uncle, in other words, opted to speculate on the currency differential. 
      
    This is Forex - a foreign exchange office. 
      
    Day Trading Forex will teach you all you need to know about Forex trading and how to profit from it.
