This is the first book to integrate reliability analysis and risk assessment with the planning, design, and management of hydrosystems (dams, levees, storm sewers, etc.). Requiring only a basic knowledge of probability and statistics, readers will be able to determine how hydrosystem structures will perform under various circumstances.
Structures built in or near rivers and other channels can be vulnerable to scour around their foundations. If the depth of the scour becomes significant, the stability of the foundations may be endangered, with a consequent risk of damage or failure of the structure. There have been several bridge failures, resulting in transport disruption, economic loss and, on occasion, loss of life. The fac…

Food process modelling provides an authoritative review of one of the most exciting and influential developments in the food industry.
Food spoilage microorganisms takes an applied approach to the subject and will be a guide both for the microbiologist and the non-specialist, particularly those whose role involves microbial quality in food processing operations
The book deals with the nature of food study from chemical, biochemical and physical point of view. Foods as a source of nutrients in the Indian dietary and selection of a balanced diet based on usage of foods of Indian origin is discussed in detail.
Drawing together literature from a variety of fields, Food Texture and Viscosity, 2E, includes a brief history of this area and its basic principles. It reviews how texture and viscosity are measured, including the physical interactions between the human body and food, objective methods of texture measurements, the latest advances in texture-measuring instruments, various types of liquid flow, …
Food Supply Chain Management" brings together the most important of these disciplines and aims to provide an understanding of the chain, to support those who manage parts of the chain and to enhance the development of research activities in the discipline. "Food Supply Chain Management" follows a 'farm to fork' structure. Each chapter starts with aims and an introduction and concludes with stud…
