The management of a water supply network can be substantially improved defining permanent sectors or districts that enhances simpler water loss detection and pressure management. However, the water network partitioning may compromise water system performance, since some pipes are usually closed to delimit districts in order not to have too many metering stations, to decrease costs and simplify water balance. This may reduce the reliability of the whole system and not guarantee the delivery of water at the different network nodes. In practical applications, the design of districts or sectors is generally based on empirical approaches or on limited field experiences. The book proposes a design support methodology, based on graph theory principles and tested on real case study. The described methodology can help water utilities, professionals and researchers to define the optimal districts or sectors of a water supply network.

Politics were often turbulent in African countries in the period leading to their independence in the 1950s and beyond. But for Ugandans and the Colonial Administration alike this was a time of hope and optimism – though fears for the future of the ‘Westminister Model,’ nurtured so carefully by the Colonial Administration, were never absent. Already there were dark clouds of future tragedy over the neighboring Congo and Rwanda.

The Battle for Virginia’s 5th District How the Ancestral Spirit of Patrick Henry Inspired Me to Join the Tea Party


Free Download Mark Kevin Lloyd, "The Battle for Virginia’s 5th District: How the Ancestral Spirit of Patrick Henry Inspired Me to Join the Tea Party"
English | 2011 | ASIN: B004S32GT8 | EPUB | pages: 32 | 1.1 mb
New from Broadside Books’ Voices of the Tea Party. As a child, Mark Lloyd’s grandmother always told him that he was a descendant of Patrick Henry. Though he’s still trying to document the connection, he likes to believe that he is guided by Henry’s spirit. As a resident of Campbell County, Virginia-the county of Henry’s final homestead-Lloyd follows Henry’s example every day, dedicating his life to ensure the liberty Henry fought for would be passed on to his own children and grandchildren. As an active grassroots Tea Party participant in the political elections in Virginia’s 2010 Fifth Congressional District, Lloyd describes the Republican primary battles between the tea party and Establishment Republicans, the somewhat awkward General Election alliance between the two, and the challenge of holding the victor of the General Election-an Establishment Republican who defeated an incumbent Democrat only with tea party support-accountable to the principles that brought him to Washington in January of 2011.

School District Leadership Matters challenges policy makers, administrators, and academics in the field of educational leadership to reassess their traditional approaches to learning, working, and planning. The authors believe that government restructuring, standards-based reforms, and centrally imposed strategic planning have been painfully ineffective. As a consequence, student learning has become increasingly superficial and inauthentic.

English | ISBN: 0814348041 | 2020 | 336 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
A Lincoln Legacy: The History of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan by David Gardner Chardavoyne with Hugh W. Brenneman, Jr. provides the first and only comprehensive examination of the history of the United States federal courts in the Western District of Michigan. The federal courts were established by the U.S. Constitution to adjudicate disputes involving federal laws, disputes between litigants from different states involving state and federal laws, and to punish violations of criminal laws passed by Congress. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln signed legislation creating two federal districts in the state of Michigan: the Eastern and Western Districts―the latter of which is headquartered in Grand Rapids and which now encompasses the western half of the Lower Peninsula and all of the Upper Peninsula. With the rapid expansion of legislation passed by Congress, the increasing mobility of society, and the growth of interstate commerce, the federal courts have assumed an important and sometimes dominant role in major litigation today.
