It is zero hour for a new US water policy! At a time when many countries are adopting new national approaches to water management, the United States still has no cohesive federal policy, and water-related authorities are dispersed across more than 30 agencies. Here, at last, is a vision for what we as a nation need to do to manage our most vital resource. In this book, leading thinkers at the world-class water research institution, The Pacific Institute, present clear and readable analysis and recommendations for a new federal water policy to confront our national and global challenges at a critical time. What exactly is at stake? In the 21st century, pressures on water resources in the United States are growing and conflicts among water users are worsening. Communities continue to struggle to meet water quality standards and to ensure that safe drinking water is available for all. And new challenges are arising as climate change and extreme events worsen, new water quality threats materialize, and financial constraints grow. Yet the United States has not stepped up with adequate leadership to address these problems. The inability of national policymakers to safeguard our water makes the United States increasingly vulnerable to serious disruptions of something most of us take for granted: affordable, reliable, and safe water. This book provides an independent assessment of water issues and water management in the United States, addressing emerging and persistent water challenges from the perspectives of science, public policy, environmental justice, economics, and law. With fascinating case studies and first-person accounts of what helps and hinders, good water management, this is a clear-eyed look at what we need for a 21st century U.S. water policy.

With the development of advanced automation degree industries, the requirements of network management for workshop tool become more and more urgent. A very important part in network management system is identification technology of the tool. In this paper, 2D (two-dimensional) barcode identification technology is applied in the tool information in real-time query to realize network management. The 2D barcode reading device, which is combined with the local computer decoding software, could achieve communication between production line and the server. By using 2D barcode identification technology, it could achieve network management for workshop tool, improve production efficiency and reduce the artificial error.

The reconstruction of defect profiles based on ultrasonic guided waves means the acquisition of defect profiles and parameters from ultrasonic guided wave signals. To achieve multi-resolution approximation, this paper proposed a reconstruction approach based on Radial Wavelet Basis Function Neural Network (RWBFNN), which combines wavelet analysis and neural network. Gaussian radial basis functions and Mexican hat wavelet frames are used as scaling functions and wavelet functions respectively. The training and testing samples contain simulation data and experimental data. The input data sets are defect echo signals, and the output data sets are 2-D profile parameters. To reduce the training time and simplify the profile reconstruction procedure without losing accuracy, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is adopted simultaneously. The results indicate that significant advantages can be obtained over other defect profile reconstruction schemes, and the accuracy of the predicted defect profile can be controlled by the resolution of the network with the lower computational complexity.

Polymer-mineral composite material is prepared by using modified epoxy resin as binder and mineral particles as aggregates. Its excellent damping characteristic and low thermal expansion make it ideal in manufacturing machine tool beds. However, the properties of this material depend on its formula and structure, so it is very important to develop an efficient method to numerically model the materials and then to optimize their properties. In this paper, 2D meso-scale finite element modeling is presented for numerical analysis of the mechanical properties of polymer-mineral composite material. The material was treated as a 2-phase composite composed of aggregates and binder which was epoxy resin mixed with fillers. Based on grading curve, the weights of aggregates were converted into the corresponding area, the aggregate particles were randomly generated and assembled with binder to produce the model. And then 2D numerical simulations were conducted under different gradations. The results show that: (1) the 2D FE model is very close to the real polymer-mineral composite material in the aspect of density and aggregate shapes and sizes, which validate the fidelity of the generated finite element model and numerical analysis method; (2) by comparing the materials' properties under four different gradations, it can be found that the materials with SAC gradation have the best mechanical property.

The influence of the physically-nonlinear behaviour of the structure and interaction between the upper structure and foundation are the aspects which influence the results of the subsoil-structure interaction analysis. The experimental measurement of stress and strain and monitoring of stress-strain relations by interaction of foundation structures with subsoil are also performed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, VS?B-TU Ostrava. Numerical analyses of contact task was made with FEM. The test sample for the task was a steel-fibre reinforced concrete foundation slab model loaded during experimental loading test. The calculated values of the subsidence do not correspond to the measured values of foundation subsidence of existing buildings, or values measured during the experiments. Results of the solutions are also different and depend on the choice of the model of the subsoil. Using several FEM software tools were made numerical analyses. Results of FEM analyses were also confronted with the values measured during the experiment.
