| 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 | ||
| Active and Programmable Networks for Adaptive Architectures and Services /Syed Asad Hussain Most conventional networks are passive, with only basic traffic monitoring, management, routing, and congestion control. At best, they can be called reactive. Deploying new functions and integrating new standards into these architectures is difficult due to the rigid embedding of software and hardware into the network components. Active and Program... | 6/19/2019 | 12/15/2006 | Hussain, Syed Asad | |
| A Beginner's Guide To Mathematica / David McMahon Because of its large command structure and intricate syntax, Mathematica can be difficult to learn. Wolfram's Mathematica manual, while certainly comprehensive, is so large and complex that when trying to learn the software from scratch -- or find answers to specific questions -- one can be quickly overwhelmed.
A Beginner's Guide to Mathematica ... | 1/15/2006 | McMahon, David Topa, Daniel M. | ||
| 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 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. | ||
| Adhesion Measurement Methods, Theory and Practice / Robert Lacombe Adhesion Measurement Methods: Theory and Practice provides practical information on the most important measurement techniques, their unique advantages and disadvantages, and the selection of the proper method for a given application. It includes useful information and formulae on adhesion related matters such as driving force formulae for various m... | 6/21/2019 | 11/21/2005 | Lacombe, Robert | |
| Advanced image processing in magnetic resonance /Imaging_Luigi Landini , Vincenzo Positano, Maria Santarelli The popularity of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in medicine is no mystery: it is non-invasive, it produces high quality structural and functional image data, and it is very versatile and flexible. Research into MR technology is advancing at a blistering pace, and modern engineers must keep up with the latest developments. This is only possible wi... | 3/6/2020 | 9/13/2005 | Luigi Landini Vincenzo Positano Maria Santarelli | |
| Activated Carbon Adsorption /Roop Chand Bansal and Meenakshi Goyal High surface area, a microporous structure, and a high degree of surface reactivity make activated carbons versatile adsorbents, particularly effective in the adsorption of organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous solutions. Activated Carbon Adsorption introduces the parameters and mechanisms involved in the activated carbon adsorption of orga... | 6/19/2019 | 5/24/2005 | Bansal, Roop Chand Goyal, Meenakshi | |
| 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 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 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. | ||

| Applications in Intelligent Manufacturing An Updated Survey Neural networks are composed of many massively connected simple neurons. Resembling more or less
their biological counterparts in structure, artificial neural networks are representational and computational
models processing information in a parallel distributed fashion. Feedforward neural networks and recurrent
neural networks are two major cla... | 10/1/2018 | 1/1/2001 | Jun, Wang Wai, Sum Tang Catherine, Roze | |
| Application of Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing in Process Planning Optimization Process planning represents the link between engineering design and shop floor manufacturing. More
specifically, it is the function within a manufacturing facility that establishes the processes and process
parameters to be used in order to convert a piece-part from its original form to a final form that is
specified on a detailed engineering dr... | 10/1/2018 | 1/1/2001 | Jun Wang | |
| Application of Fuzzy Set Theory in Flexible Manufacturing System Design In design of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS), different combinations of scheduling rules can be
applied to its simulation model. Each combination satisfies a very limited number of performance measures
(PM). Evaluation of scheduling rules is an inevitable task for any scheduler. This chapter explains a
framework for evaluation of schedulin... | 10/1/2018 | 1/1/2001 | Jun Wang | |
| 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. | ||
| Above Ground Storage Tanks / Philip E. Myers The one reference devoted exclusively to aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), this book helps owners and regulators understand the design, operation, and maintenance of ASTs in the face of new industry regulations and meet the rigorous compliance requirements. Here is an ideal handbook for chemical, environmental, and civil engineers, and others conce... | 6/18/2019 | 4/22/1997 | Myers, Philip E. | |
| 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.
