Free Download Gianluca Cirimele, "Heat Flux: Processes, Measurement Techniques and Applications "
English | ISBN: 1614708878 | 2011 | 217 pages | PDF | 11 MB
Heat flux or thermal flux is the rate of heat energy transfer through a given surface. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the processes, measurement techniques and applications of heat flux. Topics discussed include measuring heat flux and heat transfer coefficients; the science and application of heat flux biocalorimetry; measuring the thermal conductivity and the heat flux of soil as a function of air pressure; the net heat flux in the Mediterranean Sea; simulation of heat flux transport in the edge plasma of small size diverter tokamak and meridional heat fluxes in the North Indian Ocean.

Traffic Measurement on the Internet

2013 | 82 Pages | ISBN: 1461448506 | PDF | 2 MB
Traffic Measurement on the Internet presents several novel online measurement methods that are compact and fast. Traffic measurement provides critical real-world data for service providers and network administrations to perform capacity planning, accounting and billing, anomaly detection, and service provision. Statistical methods play important roles in many measurement functions including: system designing, model building, formula deriving, and error analyzing. One of the greatest challenges in designing an online measurement function is to minimize the per-packet processing time in order to keep up with the line speed of the modern routers. This book also introduces a challenging problem – the measurement of per-flow information in high-speed networks, as well as, the solution. The last chapter discusses origin-destination flow measurement.

Knowledge Potential Measurement and Uncertainty


Free Download Knowledge Potential Measurement and Uncertainty By Kerstin Fink (auth.)
2004 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 3824421836 | PDF | 6 MB
Whereas the measurement of tangible assets, e.g. cost of sales or raw material, used to be one of the main issues of business in the past, the focus has now shifted towards intangible assets such as the knowledge potential of a firm’s knowledge workers. Against this background, the measurement of knowledge has become a challenge for the managers of knowledge based companies and they are looking for a knowledge measurement model to achieve the optimal organization well-being. Kerstin Fink discusses the two mainstream measurement fields: the cognitive science approach and the management approach. She develops the knowledge potential view which is determined by nine key measurement variables, i.e. content, culture, networking, organizational knowledge, learning and training, customer and competitor knowledge, and knowledge management systems. The author applies the analogical reasoning process and uses Werner Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle as a framework for the employee knowledge potential measurement process. Her aim is to assign a specific knowledge classification or value to each employee. Case studies demonstrate the model’s practical use.

Regional Inequality and Development Measurement and Applications in Indonesia


Free Download Takahiro Akita, Mitsuhiko Kataoka, "Regional Inequality and Development: Measurement and Applications in Indonesia"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 981192967X | PDF | pages: 208 | 4.3 mb
This book addresses three main issues in regional income inequality and development: meaning of regional inequality, measurement of regional inequality and the relationship between national economic development and regional income inequality. It provides analytical methods useful in exploring the determinants of regional inequality in income and productivity. Some software commands in Stata (statistical software package) available for the measurement and analysis of income inequality are also introduced. Some researchers have argued that spatial concentration of population in and around major cities and the concurrent increase in regional inequality do not hinder national economic development, and may stimulate it. Nevertheless, many national governments seek to promote balanced regional economic development and reduce regional income inequality, because unbalanced development and higher levels of regional inequality may cause political or ethnic conflicts between different regions of the country. As the applications of the analytical methods introduced in the first part of the book, the second part presents four independent empirical studies on regional inequality and development in Indonesia. They offer very interesting case studies for the formulation of policies and programs to reduce regional inequalities, because as the world’s largest archipelagic country with more than 13 thousand islands and 300 ethnic groups, Indonesia is spatially diverse in terms of its ecology, natural resource endowments, economy, ethnicity and culture.This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in national economic development and regional income inequality. It is also beneficial for practitioners and policy makers who are in charge of the formulation, implementation and evaluation of development policies and programs.

Automation 2019 Progress in Automation, Robotics and Measurement Techniques (PDF)


Free Download Roman Szewczyk, Cezary Zieliński, Małgorzata Kaliczyńska, "Automation 2019: Progress in Automation, Robotics and Measurement Techniques"
English | 2019 | pages: 738 | ISBN: 3030132722 | PDF | 96,8 mb
This book consists of papers presented at AUTOMATION2019, an international conference held in Warsaw from March 27 to 29, 2019. It discusses the radical technological changes occurring due to the INDUSTRY 4.0. To follow these changes, both scientists and engineers have to face the challenge of interdisciplinary approach directed at the development of cyber-physical systems. This approach encompasses interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge, numerical modelling and simulation as well as application of artificial intelligence techniques. Both software and physical devices are composed into systems that will increase production efficiency and resource savings. The theoretical results, practical solutions and guidelines presented are valuable for both researchers working in the area of engineering sciences and practitioners looking for solutions to industrial problems.
