The Principles of Product Development Flow Second Generation Lean Product Development


Free Download Donald G. Reinertsen, "The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1935401009 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 2.2 mb
"…the dominant paradigm for managing product development is wrong. Not just a little wrong, but wrong to its very core." So begins Reinertsen in his meticulous examination of today’s product development practices. He carefully explains why invisible and unmanaged queues are the underlying root cause of poor product development performance. He shows why these queues form and how they undermine the speed, quality, and efficiency in product development. Then, he provides a roadmap for changing this. The book provides a well-organized set of 175 underlying principles in eight major areas. He shows you practical methods to: Improve economic decisions Manage queues Reduce batch size Apply WIP constraints Accelerate feedback Manage flows in the presence of variability Decentralize control The Principles of Product Development Flow will forever change the way you think about product development.

English | ASIN: B0BR8K75PZ | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:14:00 | 206 MB
Geek-culture expert Ryan Britt takes us behind the pages and scenes of the science-fiction phenomenon Dune, charting the series’ life from cult sci-fi novels to some of the most visionary movies of all time.
Using original, deep-access reporting, extensive research, and insightful commentary, The Spice Must Flow brings the true popularity of Dune out into the light for the very first time. With original interviews with the beloved actors and directors behind the films-including Timothée Chalamet, Kyle Maclachlan, Denis Villeneuve, Patrick Stewart, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Newman, and many more-The Spice Must Flow also examines the far-reaching influence of Dune on art, music, politics, and, most notably, its status as the first ecological science-fiction story specifically concerned with climate change.

Establishing the Environmental Flow Regime for the Middle Zambezi River (2024)


Free Download Elenestina Mwelwa-Mutekenya, "Establishing the Environmental Flow Regime for the Middle Zambezi River"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138031801, 1138373508 | PDF | pages: 191 | 108.6 mb
The Middle Zambezi, host to a rich biodiversity, is located in the central part of the Zambezi River Basin which covers eight Southern African Countries. The area is located downstream of three hydropower schemes. In the last decades, the floodplain riparian tree, the Faidherbia albida, vital for the local wild life, has shown a worrying decrease in its regeneration rates. This thesis explores establishing the environmental flow regime for the Middle Zambezi reach in order to minimise the impact of the upstream hydropower schemes on the river environment, using the Faidherbia albida tree as a biological indicator.

One-Dimensional Transient Flow in Pipelines Modelling and Simulation


Free Download One-Dimensional Transient Flow in Pipelines Modelling and Simulation
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9815123777 | 236 pages | True PDF | 31.39 MB
This book presents numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions for studying the effect of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) on evaluation of pressure waves in pipelines with cavitation. The authors develop a uniform one-dimensional model using coupled models. These models consider unsteady friction (UF), Poisson coupling, axial vibration (junction coupling), gas release and viscoelasticity.

Turbomachinery Flow Physics and Dynamic Performance


Free Download Turbomachinery Flow Physics and Dynamic Performance by Meinhard Schobeiri
English | PDF | 2005 | 535 Pages | ISBN : 3642061141 | 18 MB
Over the past three decades turbomachines experienced a steep increase in efficiency and performance. Based on fundamental principles of turbomachinery thermo-fluid mechanics, numerous CFD based calculation methods are being developed to simulate the complex 3-dimensional, highly unsteady turbulent flow within turbine or compressor stages. The objective of this book is to present the fundamental principals of turbomachinery fluid-thermodynamic design process of turbine and compressor components, power generation and aircraft gas turbines in a unified and compact manner. The book provides senior undergraduate students, graduate students and engineers in the turbomachinery industry with a solid background of turbomachinery flow physics and performance fundamentals that are essential for understanding turbomachinery performance and flow complexes.

MINDFlow, the Path to Mindfulness-in-flow in Relationships, Work and Home Life


Free Download Ron Cacioppe, "MINDFlow, the Path to Mindfulness-in-flow in Relationships, Work and Home Life"
English | ISBN: 1527529398 | 2019 | 420 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This innovative book combines two very special states of awarenessmindfulness and flowinto a new and unique state called mindflow. The practice of mindflow leads to a stress-free, healthy, fulfilling and effective life in todays complex and challenging environment. It brings together current understanding and research of mindfulness and flow with ancient practices of meditation and mindfulness, to describe the extra-ordinary state of mindfulness-in-flow. It is both a how-to-do and a how-to-be book. It considers the states and practices of mindfulness, meditation and flow, and a process that leads to the experience of mindfulness-in-flow, where a person completely engages in an activity, yet is mindful and aware of the surrounding environment. Mindflow leads to positive outcomes in daily life, relationships, work, and for the world. Over 50 practical techniques and applications are described here so the reader can experience mindflow in every part of life.
