A Membrane BioReactor (MBR) is the combination of a membrane process (e.g. microfiltration/ ultrafiltration) with a suspended growth bioreactor. When used with domestic wastewater, MBR processes can produce effluent of high enough quality to be discharged to waterways, or to be reclaimed for urban irrigation. Other advantages of MBRs over conventional processes include small footprint, easy retrofit and upgrade of old wastewater treatment plants. The MBR Book covers all important aspects of Membrane BioReactors in water and waste water treatment, from the fundamentals of the processes via design principles to MBR technologies. Industrial case studies help interpret actual results and give pointers for best practice. Useful appendices provide data on commercial membranes and international membrane organizations.

El avance en la investigación de nuevas tecnologías asociadas con el campo de lo audiovisual es imparable y sorprendente. Mayor defi nición, mejor procesado, alta capacidad de almacenamiento y ancho de banda y nuevas tecnicas de visionado son algunos de las caracteristicas que no cesan en su innovacion y desarrollo, asociadas tanto al campo de la electronica de consumo como al de aplicaciones industriales y profesionales. El uso de estos avances en imagen dentro de la tecnologia medica se convierte en el principal objeto de estudio de este trabajo, en el que una doble vision, desde el punto de vista clinico y desde la propia ingenieria, presenta en diferentes capitulos realizados por prestigiosos especialistas algunos de los principales desarrollos y aplicaciones que han aparecido en los ultimos años en este ambito.

Este texto incluye la parte del REGLAMENTO TÉCNICO DE DISTRIBUCIÓN Y UTILIZACIÓN DE COMBUSTIBLES GASEOSOS que se necesita para la obtención del carnet de instalador categoría B. Además, la presente edicion se ha realizado con fines didacticos y se han resumido las normas UNE necesarias para llevar a la practica lo solicitado en el Reglamento propiamente dicho.

Desde hace más de treinta años se ha venido explorando cómo sacar partido de la informática y de las telecomunicaciones en el campo sanitario. Así, se ha perfilado y dado contenido a este área de actividad o disciplina que se ha denominado Telemedicina, definida como el uso de las tecnologias de la informacion y las telecomunicaciones para proporcionar o soportar la asistencia sanitaria, independientemente de la localizacion de los que ofrecen el servicio, los pacientes que lo reciben, la informacion disponible o los equipos necesarios. En el presente trabajo se presentan algunas de las principales lineas de investigacion y trabajo que se desarrollan actualmente en nuestro pais. Telerradiologia, historia clinica electronica, telepatologia, cardiologia on-line, teledermatologia y telemedicina en las Fuerzas Armadas son algunos de los conceptos que se desarrollan y tienen cabida en este estudio.

RockOdor and irritation play a prominent role in the quality of air when tobacco smoke (ETS) is present within a building. Ventilation for Environmental Tobacco Smokewas written to educate companies about obstructed ventilation systems due to tobacco smoke within their facilities. It is a guide that HVAC designers can use to provide better, more efficient units for ventilate, thus creating higher optimized air quality, comfort, and energy use. Many HVAC(heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning)designers have few guides to follow for providing efficient systems to handle ETS problems. This design guide primarily focuses on the design structure of units and less on the requirements according to codes and guidelines. With the proper guidance, HVAC designers will be insured to produce a highly efficient system that will reassure companies and clients that they are receiving quality ventilation flow. This guide can be used as an introductory on ETS, as a refresher to those within the HVAC industry, a tool to stimulate more discussion and research, as well as a reference for architects and building owners who are already experienced on ETS concerns. * Presents background information on HVAC * Provides an overview of what factors affect indoor environmental quality and methods for estimating needed ventilation rates * Contains design issues and examples for various applications, along with summaries

The second edition of Ventilation Control of the Work Environment incorporates changes in the field of industrial hygiene since the first edition was published in 1982. Integrating feedback from students and professionals, the new edition includes problems sets for each chapter and updated information on the modeling of exhaust ventilation systems, and thus assures the continuation of the book''s role as the primary industry textbook.

This book tells you how to control gas, vapour, dust, fume and mist in workplace air using local exhaust ventilation (LEV) - extracting the clouds of contaminant before people breathe them in. It describes the principles and good practice of design, installation, commissioning, and testing cost-effective ''ventilation controls''. It is written for the suppliers of LEV goods and services as well as employers and managers in medium businesses. It will also be helpful for trade union and employee safety representatives.Contents: About this book; Introduction to LEV, roles and responsibilities; Properties of airborne contaminants; Processes and sources; Preparing a specification and quotation; Hood design and application; Designing the rest of the system; Installing and commissioning; User manual and logbook; Thorough examination and test; Legal requirements; Appendices; References; Further reading; Useful contacts; Glossary.

The book provides a comprehensive account of the important field of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in occupational and living environments, both indoor and outdoor. It is written in four parts: Part A (8 chapters) describes the current knowledge of the physical science that underpins the process of aerosol sampling. Part B (4 chapters) presents the basis of standards for aerosols, including in particular the link with human exposure by inhalation. Part C (8 chapters) covers the development of practical aerosol sampling instrumentation, and how technical designs and methods have evolved over the years in order that aerosol sampling may be carried out in a manner matching the health-related and other criteria that have been proposed as parts of standards. Finally Part D (3 chapters) describes how a wide range of aerosol sampling instruments have performed when they have been applied in the field in both occupational and ambient atmospheric environments, including how different instruments, nominally intended to measure the same aerosol fraction, compare when used side-by-side in the real world. The book is intended to draw together all that is known about aerosol sampling - about the science and across a very wide range of applications - for the benefit of researchers and practitioners in occupational and environmental health and hygiene, aerosol scientists and engineers, as well as graduate-level students in these fields. In addition, the text will be of interest to environmental and occupational epidemiologists, atmospheric scientists, and occupational and environmental health policy specialists, including all those aroundthe world engaged in the processes of setting standards for airborne particulate contaminants. This book provides a comprehensive account of the important field of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in occupational and living environments, both indoor and outdoor.
