    Abstract: This textbook contains the contents coming from hydraulics, hydrodynamics, chemical principles, chemical reaction engineering and bioengineering, which relates closely with fundamental principles in environmental engineering. It mainly covers principles including basic concepts, theories, methods and related equipment in fluid flow and transportation, heat transfer, absorption, chemical and biological reaction kinetics and reactors, as well as their applications in environmental engineering. At same time, the readers learns the basic viewpoints and methods commonly used in engineering technology, such as balance method, reasonable simplification, dimensional analysis method, boundary layer theory, optimization and mathematical model method. It broadens the student’s understanding in solving those problems in environmental engineering, and enhances their awareness of industrialization. This book is the specialized foundation and principles for learning the professional courses of environmental engineering, such as "water pollution control," "air pollution control," "solid waste treatment and disposal" and "ecological restoration engineering", while avoiding the repetition of the contents of those professional books.

    Description: Comprehensive management of karst water resources requires sufficient understanding of their dynamics and karst-specific modeling tools. However, the limited availability of observations of karstic groundwater dynamics has been prohibiting the assessment of karst water resources at regional to global scales. This paper presents the first global effort to integrate experimental approaches and large-scale modeling. Using a global soil-moisture monitoring program and a global database of karst spring discharges, the simulations of a preliminary global karstic-groundwater-recharge model are evaluated. It is shown that soil moisture is a crucial variable that better distinguishes recharge dynamics in different climates and for different land cover types. The newly developed dataset of karst spring discharges provides first insights into the wide variability of discharge volumes and recharge areas of different karst springs around the globe. Comparing the model simulations with the newly collected soil-moisture and spring-discharge observations, indicates that (1) improvements of the recharge model are still necessary to obtain a better representation of different land cover types and snow processes, and (2) there is a need to incorporate groundwater dynamics. Applying and strictly evaluating these improvements in the model will finally provide a tool to identify hot spots of current or future water scarcity in the karst regions around the globe, thus supporting national and international water governance.

    Description: River infiltration is an important part of groundwater recharge at riverbank filtration (RBF) sites. It is not only affected by the hydraulic gradient between the river stage and the groundwater table but also largely depends on the riverbed hydraulic conductivity (RHC). However, owing to the hydrodynamic conditions and sediment thickness during river scouring and deposition, the lithology of riverbed sediments undergoes strong spatial and temporal changes, which lead to a highly uncertain RHC. The influence of river scouring and deposition on RHC is not completely clear, resulting in calculation inaccuracies in the rate of river water infiltration to the aquifer and evaluation of the regional groundwater resource quantity. Based on the geological and hydrogeological settings at a typical RBF site in the middle reaches of the second Songhua River in China, we determined the relationship between RHC and sediment particle size using stepwise regression analysis and a genetic algorithm. We established a hydrodynamic and sediment transport model based on Delft3D to simulate the spatial distributions of sediment particle sizes. On this basis, a numerical groundwater flow model was established using Visual MODFLOW, in which the river boundary was generalized into a third type of boundary condition, and RHC zoning was performed to improve the accuracy of the simulation. We conclude that accurate prediction of RHC is essential for the assessment of groundwater resources in riparian zones. The exploitation of groundwater should fully consider the river infiltration and avoid a series of ecological and environmental problems caused by excessive groundwater exploitation. The dataset is the basic data of the above research.

    Description: At first glance, medicine and poison might seem to be opposites. But in China’s formative era of pharmacy (200–800 CE), poisons were strategically deployed as healing agents to cure everything from chills to pains to epidemics. Healing with Poisons explores the ways physicians, religious devotees, court officials, and laypeople used powerful substances to both treat intractable illnesses and enhance life. It illustrates how the Chinese concept of du—a word carrying a core meaning of “potency”—led practitioners to devise a variety of techniques to transform dangerous poisons into efficacious medicines. Recounting scandals and controversies involving poisons from the Era of Division to the early Tang period, Yan Liu considers how the concept of du was central to the ways people of medieval China perceived both their bodies and the body politic. Liu also examines a wide range of du-possessing minerals, plants, and animal products in classical Chinese pharmacy, including the highly poisonous herb aconite and the popular arsenic drug Five-Stone Powder. By recovering alternative modes of understanding wellness and the body’s interaction with potent medicines, this study cautions against arbitrary classifications and exemplifies the importance of paying attention to the technical, political, and cultural conditions in which substances become truly meaningful. Healing with Poisons is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem) and the generous support of the University at Buffalo Libraries.
