Oil Spill Detection, Identification and Tracing provides readers with currently applicable technical methods, including early warning monitoring of trace oil film in ports, remote sensing monitoring of sea surface oil spills, and source tracing. Beginning with the causes and characteristics of oil spills on water, chapters then evaluate a range of different detection methods, including passive optical remote sensing, active optical remote sensing, marine radar, and GNSS-R. The book then reviews oil spill traceability technology, highlighting the ecological effect of oil spills on oceanic environment, current studies on oil spill fingerprinting, and the application of stable isotope technology in oil spill tracing. The book concludes with three key case studies with real-world scenarios, making it a practical resource for students, researchers and engineers interested in oil spill pollution, environmental science and the marine environment.

The Feng Shui Luo Pan is the most important tool in the briefcase of a Feng Shui professional. 
Feng Shui practitioners, students and enthusiasts, further your skills with the knowledge of many contributors from the Feng Shui Research Center.\nOriginally published in 2010 to accompany Master Joseph Yu's Luo Pan, this book is a guide to the use of the Luo Pan with handy tips and hints you can benefit from in order to hone your professional skills, making it easier than ever to understand the workings, care and history of the Feng Shui compass.\nA recommended textbook of the Feng Shui Research Centre, there are numerous quotes from Master Joseph Yu compiled by the author over many years of participation in online forums and live seminars since 1998. Once only available to those who purchased a Luo Pan, this text is now available to you, putting the most important information all in one place, saving you time and effort, and from a trusted source.\nComments and hints from Masters and students of the Feng Shui Research Centre help to shed light on the workings of this secretive device.\nThe book has been translated into Spanish (coming soon), Greek, Hungarian (not available on Amazon yet). Several students of the FSRC have used this book to prepare information for their own students.\nContents:

Introduction 
History Who was Master Shen Zhu Reng? Who was Master Shen's Master? What do the words 'Luo Pan' actually mean? Can Feng Shui be practiced without using a Luo Pan? How old is the Luo Pan? Does the needle point North or South? Chinese Mapping Why use Pinyin on the Luo Pan? What is the main difference between San Yuan vs San He Luo Pan? 
Description Each ring of the Luo Pan 
Use of Your Luo Pan 8 step by step instructions 
Helpful Hints Why don't we face towards the facing direction of the building? Why not stand inside the building? Holding your Luo Pan Having trouble taking a compass reading in the city? What if there are no reference lines and/or no building to measure against? Still having trouble and need to move further from the building? Some Feng Shui masters say that when the needle in the Luo Pan is unstable in a house, the house is haunted. He will have to drive away the evil spirit and bless the house. Is this true? Can't I just use a normal compass instead of a Luo Pan? 
Care & Maintenance Store your Luo Pan Avoid sunlight Do not allow others to play with your Luo Pan Heaven Plate only in a clockwise direction Another way to reduce friction What can go wrong? Do not store... The Heaven Pool can become free The corners of the Earth Plate can chip off The protective coating on the Luo Pan can wear off Do not use your Luo Pan in freezing conditions

Feng Shui Research Center Contacts (in order of contribution to this book) All Feng Shui enthusiasts will benefit from this book, even if they do not own a Luo Pan. 
Feng Shui cannot be calculated without an accurate compass reading of the property and it is recommended all practitioners have an understanding of how to use a Luo Pan.\nLike to learn more? The author also conducts training in her course, Luo Pan Mastery. Purchasers of this book may contact the author to receive a free template.

With the fast growth ofmultimedia information, content-based video anal ysis, indexing and representation have attracted increasing attention in re cent years. Many applications have emerged in these areas such as video on-demand, distributed multimedia systems, digital video libraries, distance learning/education, entertainment, surveillance and geographical information systems. The need for content-based video indexing and retrieval was also rec ognized by ISOIMPEG, and a new international standard called "Multimedia Content Description Interface" (or in short, MPEG-7)was initialized in 1998 and finalized in September 2001. In this context, a systematic and thorough review ofexisting approaches as well as the state-of-the-art techniques in video content analysis, indexing and representation areas are investigated and studied in this book. In addition, we will specifically elaborate on a system which analyzes, indexes and abstracts movie contents based on the integration ofmultiple media modalities. Content ofeach part ofthis book is briefly previewed below. In the first part, we segment a video sequence into a set ofcascaded shots, where a shot consistsofone or more continuouslyrecorded image frames. Both raw and compressedvideo data will beinvestigated. Moreover, consideringthat there are always non-story units in real TV programs such as commercials, a novel commercial break detection/extraction scheme is developed which ex ploits both audio and visual cues to achieve robust results. Specifically, we first employ visual cues such as the video data statistics, the camera cut fre quency, and the existenceofdelimiting black frames between commercials and programs, to obtain coarse-level detection results.

The subject of this book referred as the bending strength of CATT (circular-arc-tooth-trace) cylindrical gear is taken to mean the study of the tooth bending stress with the analytical models and testing data. The objectives of this book are to contribute theoretical formulas and experimental methods towards efficient design and analysis of CATT gear in academic research and engineering application. The bending strength formula of CATT gear is developed base on classic mechanics and heritage of the main part of spur gear formula with additional modified factors. It allows calculating the stress distributions along the tooth length at the root fillets for the predictions of the maximum stress and determination of the critical transverse section on tooth. The strain gauge method is applied to measure the stress distributions along the tooth length at root fillets. It provides a means for the bending stress measurement of CATT gear. The book indicates how to validate theoretical model by comparing the calculation analysis results with the test analysis results. This book is technically thorough, complete and consistent based on the existing knowledge, measuring technology and validated experience within academia and industry. It provides the appropriate methodology from bending stress modelling to experimental examination for the research and development of new type gear.

This brief provides a valuable reference for the contribution of essential oils in the green chemistry, mainly in terms of their characteristics corresponding to their compositions, the development of their extraction technologies including both conventional and green process (e.g. microwave, ultrasound), and their sustainable applications as antioxidants, antimicrobials, insecticides, green solvents and synthons for the green synthesis.
