The ArcGIS® Book | Second Edition
This is a book about ArcGIS, the Web GIS platform. But ArcGIS is more than just mapping software that’s running online. It’s actually a complete system for discovering, consuming, creating, and sharing geographic data, maps, and apps designed to fulfill particular objectives. The twin goals of this book are to open your eyes to what is now possible with Web GIS, and then spur you into action by putting the technology and deep data resources in your hands via the QuickStarts and Learn ArcGIS lessons that are included in each chapter.

Industry 4.0 – The Global Industrial Revolution: Achievements, Obstacles and Research Needs for the Digital Transformation of Industry
The genesis of industrial revolutions, sparked by mechanization, electricity, and IT, set the stage for the fourth revolution, termed Industrie 4.0 (Industry 4.0). This paradigm shift embraces hyperconnected, smart, decentralized, and autonomous systems, heralding increased complexity yet promising individualized products and services with unparalleled value and user experiences. This is achieved through the fusion of mass production’s cost efficiency with innovative advancements.

Boiler System Failures Analysis & Diagnostics Manual
Boiler efficiency, in the simplest terms, represents the difference between the energy input and energy output. A typical boiler will consume many times the initial capital expense in fuel usage annually. Consequently, a difference of just a few percentage points in boiler efficiency between units can translate into substantial savings. The efficiency data used for comparison between boilers must be based on proven performance to produce an accurate comparison of fuel usage. However, over the years, efficiency has been represented in confusing terms or in ways where the efficiency value did not accurately represent proven fuel usage values.

Boiler Efficiency Guide
The quality of water is important to avoid damage to the boiler. The makeup water depending on its source may contain large amount of impurities. This, if not treated shall result in fouling of boiler heat transfer surfaces and shall increase the fuel consumption. Makeup water also contains considerable amounts of dissolved oxygen which is a prime cause of corrosion.

Tracer and Timescale Methods for Passive and Reactive Transport in Fluid Flows
Timescales and tracer-based methods have been recognized to be powerful approaches to gain quantitative insight into the underlying physical and biochemical processes in oceanography, limnology, and marine science, and have widely been used to interpret field observations and numerical model results. The concept of timescales has been instrumental to understanding the complex hydrodynamics and transport processes of reactive biochemical substances in surface waters since Bolin and Rodhe introduced timescales of age, transit time, and turnover time in 1973. In 1976, Zimmerman applied the timescale concept to the DutchWadden Sea and introduced ‘residence time’ to deal with moving individual particles for a spatially varying situation. Takeoka further studied residence time in 1984 under the same framework as Bolin and Rodhe.

Toward Responsible and Informed Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal
Executive Summary
Ocean carbon dioxide removal approaches have been gaining prominence in international and national climate policy. Yet many of these
approaches remain untested with significant scientific gaps and risks to the marine environment and coastal communities. Striking the right balance between the urgency of emission reductions and using appropriate ocean carbon dioxide removal approaches without causing further harm to ocean systems, ecosystems, and coastal communities will require an iterative and adaptive approach that
prioritizes responsible and informed development.
