Providing a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in testing concrete in structures, Testing of Concrete in Structures discusses both established techniques and new methods, showing potential for future development, and documenting them with illustrative examples. Topics have been expanded where significant advances have taken place in the field, for example integrity assessment, sub-surface radar, corrosion assessment and localized dynamic response tests. This fourth edition also covers the new trends in equipment and procedures, such as the continuation of general moves to automate test methods and developments in digital technology and the growing importance of performance monitoring, and includes new and updated references to standards. The non-specialist civil engineer involved in assessment, repair or maintenance of concrete structures will find this a thorough update.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved in testing concrete in structures. The non-specialist civil engineer involved in assessment, repair or maintanance of concrete structures will find this a thorough update of the second edition, with an expansion of those areas where recent developments have made significant advances, for example in integrity assessment.
A consultant surgeon tells his story of his appointment, his successful years in his hospital, and then the coming of changes which led at last to his sad resignation. The managers had arrived, amalgamations ordered, wards were closed, discord amongst colleagues raged, and personal antagonisms worsened as their worlds collapsed. The novel was written in the 1990s and you may well recognise it!
• Contains descriptions of 988 Trees belonging to 87 families. • Has 568 pages, 255 black and white photographs and 193 line drawings of Trees. • Separate photographs provided for the Evergreen, Deciduous, Scrub and Mangrove Trees. • Sacred, Rare, Endemic, Ornamental, Fruit-bearing, Littoral Trees are tabulated. • Contains Maps of Forests of South India and Western and Eastern Ghats. • This book is brought out after a gap of more than a century after Bourdillon’s The Forest Trees of Travancore (1908). • The book is also equally useful wherever Tropical Evergreen, Deciduous and Scrub Forests exist in Peninsular India.

Recognizing the importance of invertebrate pollinators, the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission) at its Seventeenth Regular Session, in 2019, adopted its Work Plan for the Sustainable Use and Conservation of Microorganism and Invertebrate Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and decided to address pollinators, including honey bees, at its Nineteenth Regular Session. Building on global assessments addressing pollinators published in 2016 and 2019, respectively, by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and FAO, this study provides up-to-date information on the status and trends of invertebrate pollinators, maps relevant regional and international initiatives, and identifies gaps and needs.
