| AC power systems handbook / Jerry C. Whitaker Sooner or later, power system protection is going to cost money. How much is entirely up to you. Setting up a safe and effective AC power system from the very beginning can help avoid costly downtime and repairs, provide backup power during system outages, and minimize workplace accidents. For the past 15 years, Jerry Whitaker's AC Power Systems Ha... | 6/18/2019 | 10/3/2018 | Whitaker, Jerry C. | |
| Absorption Chillers and Heat Pumps / Keith E. Herold, Reinhard Radermacher Significantly revised and updated since its first publication in 1996, Absorption Chillers and Heat Pumps, Second Edition discusses the fundamental physics and major applications of absorption chillers. While the popularity of absorption chillers began to dwindle in the United States in the late 1990’s, a shift towards sustainability, green buildin... | 6/18/2019 | 4/21/1997 | Herold, Keith E.

| A Systemic Perspective on Cognition and Mathematics / Jeffrey Yi-Lin Forrest This book is devoted to the study of human thought, its systemic structure, and the historical development of mathematics both as a product of thought and as a fascinating case analysis. After demonstrating that systems research constitutes the second dimension of modern science, the monograph discusses the yoyo model, a recent ground-breaking deve... | 6/18/2019 | 2/18/2013 | Forrest, Jeffrey Yi-Lin | |
| A Shock-Fitting Primer /Manuel D. Salas A defining feature of nonlinear hyperbolic equations is the occurrence of shock waves. While the popular shock-capturing methods are easy to implement, shock-fitting techniques provide the most accurate results. A Shock-Fitting Primer presents the proper numerical treatment of shock waves and other discontinuities. The book begins by recounting the... | 6/18/2019 | 12/17/2009 | Salas, Manuel D. | |
| A Practical Guide to Microstructural Analysis of Cementitious Materials / Karen Scrivener, Ruben Snellings, et al._ A Practical Guide from Top-Level Industry Scientists
As advanced teaching and training in the development of cementitious materials increase, the need has emerged for an up-to-date practical guide to the field suitable for graduate students and junior and general practitioners.
Get the Best Use of Different Techniques and Interpretations of t... | ??/1/ | 10/9/2018 | Scrivener, Karen Snellings, Ruben | |
| A Practical Guide to Boundary Element Methods with the Software Library BEMLIB /C. Pozrikidis The boundary-element method is a powerful numerical technique for solving partial differential equations encountered in applied mathematics, science, and engineering. The strength of the method derives from its ability to solve with notable efficiency problems in domains with complex and possibly evolving geometry where traditional methods can be d... | 5/15/2002 | Pozrikidis, C. | ||
| A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers/ Hang T. Lau At last researchers have an inexpensive library of Java-based numeric procedures for use in scientific computation. The first and only book of its kind, A Numeric Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers is a translation into Java of the library NUMAL (NUMerical procedures in ALgol 60).
This groundbreaking text presents procedural descripti... | 8/27/2003 | Lau, Hang T. | ||
| A New Approach to Sediment Transport in the Design and Operation of Irrigation Canals /Herman Depeweg The transport of sediment greatly influences the sustainability of an irrigation system. Erosion and deposition not only increase maintenance costs, but may result in an inequitable and inadequate distribution of irrigation water. Understanding the behaviour and transport of sediment allows efficient planning and reliable water delivery schedules, | 4/5/2007 | Depeweg, Herman | ||
| A Kalman Filter Prime/ Randall L. Eubank System state estimation in the presence of noise is critical for control systems, signal processing, and many other applications in a variety of fields. Developed decades ago, the Kalman filter remains an important, powerful tool for estimating the variables in a system in the presence of noise. However, when inundated with theory and vast notation... | 11/29/2005 | Eubank, Randall L. | ||
| A Guide to Human Factors and Ergonomics/Martin Helander Completely revised and updated, A Guide to Human Factors and Ergonomics, Second Edition presents a comprehensive introduction to the field. Building on the foundation of the first edition, titled Guide to Ergonomics of Manufacturing, the new title reflects the expanded range of coverage and applicability of the techniques you will find in the secon... | 12/16/2005 | Helander, Martin | ||
| A Guide to Field Instrumentation in Geotechnics /Richard Bassett Geotechnical instrumentation is used for installation, monitoring and assessment on any sizeable project, particularly in urban areas, and is used for recording, controlled remedial work, and safety.
This unique and up-to-date book deals with the conceptual philosophy behind the use of instruments, and then systematically covers their practical ... | 2/7/2012 | Bassett, Richard | ||
| A Framework for Complex System Development / Adamsen II, Paul B. Industry, government, and academic efforts to create a generalized systems engineering process have repeatedly fallen short. The outcome? Systems engineering failures that produce losses like the September 1999 destruction of the Mars Climate Orbiter. A simple information transfer error between teams motivated far-reaching managerial and technical ... | 5/31/2000 | Adamsen II, Paul B. | ||
| A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control /Hung T. Nguyen, Nadipuram R. Prasad Although the use of fuzzy control methods has grown nearly to the level of classical control, the true understanding of fuzzy control lags seriously behind. Moreover, most engineers are well versed in either traditional control or in fuzzy control-rarely both. Each has applications for which it is better suited, but without a good understanding of ... | 11/12/2002 | Nguyen, Hung T. Prasad, Nadipuram R. | ||
| A Course on Queueing Models / Joti Lal Jain, Sri Gopal Mohanty The application of engineering principles in divergent fields such as management science and communications as well as the advancement of several approaches in theory and computation have led to growing interest in queueing models, creating the need for a comprehensive text.
