Petroleum Resources with Emphasis on Offshore Fields

O.T. GUDMESTAD, University of Stavanger, Norway, A.B. ZOLOTUKHIN, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, RUSSIA, E.T. JARLSBY, Petrad, Stavanger, Norway

 

“I feel that from the dense, frequently bulleted text, I have gained a much better understanding of the industry including such things as the detection of clues to underground reservoirs, types of wells and the structure of production wells, obstacles to pipeline flow, and the wellstream’s possible components…”

 

“…audiences should gain from the readable text, international perspective, and the variety of references cited…”

Broadband Power-line Communication Systems:

Theory and Applications

J. ANATORY, University of Dodoma, Tanzania and N. THEETHAYI, Bombardier Transportation, Sweden.

 

"There are still not many books available that cover this interesting technology, which is not very familiar to the larger communications community. The recent book by Anatory and Theethayi tries to remedy this situation and is devoted to PLC with an emphasis on broadband communications over the outdoor part of the power grid.... The book targets engineers involved in the design of PLC systems and researchers interested in the characteristics of PLC channels. Such an audience may appreciate the presented discussions, from a mostly theoretical perspective."

Development of Regional Airports

Theoretical Analyses and Case Studies

Edited By: M.N. POSTORINO, University of Reggio Calabria, Italy

 

"Development of Regional Airports comes as an appropriate and timely reminder that regional airport development is based on economics and practical planning. It is well recommended."

Wind Power Generation and
Wind Turbine Design

Edited by: W. TONG, Kollmorgen Corporation, USA

 

“This comprehensive book is a collection of 21 chapters on wind power and the design of wind turbines...A suitable number of graphs and basic mathematics, combined with clear writing, make the text flow smoothly.  Contributors consistently cite recent scientific and commercial publications, making the book an up-to-date reference.”
