Elementary Processes in Excitations and Reactions on Solid Surfaces explores the fundamental nature of dynamics on solid surfaces. Attempts are made to reveal various aspects of elementary processes in excitations and reactions on solid surfaces by recent theoretical and experimental developments of the subjects such as molecular beams interacting with surfaces, ion beam scattering, laser-induced dynamical processes, electronically induced dynamical processes, and optical properties of solid surfaces. This volume is devided into three parts. Part I is concerned mainly with the rich reaction dynamics on potential-energy surfaces. Part II is devoted to the interplay of excitations and reactions with particular attention given to the charge transfer as well as the energy transfer between well-characterized surfaces and beams. In Part III, new and rapidly developing methods are introduced.

Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming 14th International Conference, XP 2013, Vienna, Austria, June


Free Download Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming: 14th International Conference, XP 2013, Vienna, Austria, June 3-7, 2013. Proceedings By Jeffry S. Babb, Rashina Hoda, Jacob Nørbjerg (auth.), Hubert Baumeister, Barbara Weber (eds.)
2013 | 253 Pages | ISBN: 3642383130 | PDF | 5 MB
This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Agile Software Development, XP 2013, held in Vienna, Austria, in June 2013.In the last decade, the interest in agile and lean software development has been continuously growing. Agile and lean have evolved from a way of working — restricted in the beginning to a few early adopters — to the mainstream way of developing software. All this time, the XP conference series has actively promoted agility and widely disseminated research results in this area. XP 2013 successfully continued this tradition.The 17 full papers accepted for XP 2013 were selected from 52 submissions and are organized in sections on: teaching and learning; development teams; agile practices; experiences and lessons learned; large-scale projects; and architecture and design.

Soldiering Under Occupation Processes of Numbing among Israeli Soldiers in the Al-Aqsa Intifada


Free Download Erella Grassiani, "Soldiering Under Occupation: Processes of Numbing among Israeli Soldiers in the Al-Aqsa Intifada"
English | ISBN: 0857459562 | 2013 | 168 pages | PDF | 999 KB
Often, violent behavior or harassment from a soldier is dismissed by the military as unacceptable acts by individuals termed, "rotten apples." In this study, the author argues that this dismissal is unsatisfactory and that there is an urgent need to look at the (mis)behavior of soldiers from a structural point of view. When soldiers serve as an occupational force, they find themselves in a particular situation influenced by structural circumstances that heavily influence their behavior and moral decision-making. This study focuses on young Israeli men and their experiences as combat soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), particularly those who served in the "Occupied Palestinian Territories" (OPT) during the "Al Aqsa Intifada," which broke out in 2000. In describing the soldiers’ circumstances, especially focusing on space, the study shows how processes of numbing on different levels influence the (moral) behavior of these soldiers.

Manufacturing Processes 4 Forming


Free Download Manufacturing Processes 4: Forming By Fritz Klocke (auth.)
2013 | 516 Pages | ISBN: 3642367712 | PDF | 25 MB
This book provides essential information on metal forming, utilizing a practical distinction between bulk and sheet metal forming. In the field of bulk forming, it examines processes of cold, warm and hot bulk forming, as well as rolling and a new addition, the process of thixoforming. As for the field of sheet metal working, on the one hand it deals with sheet metal forming processes (deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, metal spinning and bending). In terms of special processes, the chapters on internal high-pressure forming and high rate forming have been revised and refined. On the other, the book elucidates and presents the state of the art in sheet metal separation processes (shearing and fineblanking). Furthermore, joining by forming has been added to the new edition as a new chapter describing mechanical methods for joining sheet metals.The new chapter "Basic Principles" addresses both sheet metal and bulk forming, in addition to metal physics, plastomechanics and computational basics; these points are complemented by the newly added topics of metallography and analysis, materials and processes for testing, and tribology and lubrication techniques. The chapters are supplemented by an in-depth description of modern numeric methods such as the finite element method. All chapters have been updated and revised for the new edition, and many practical examples from modern manufacturing processes have been added.

Hereditary Models of Dynamic Processes in Geospheres


Free Download Hereditary Models of Dynamic Processes in Geospheres
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031701135 | 242 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 59 MB
The book is aimed at developing and analyzing fundamentally new mathematical models of dynamicprocesses in the Earth’s geospheres, taking into account heredity, in order to detect (predict) natural and manmadethreats. It is known that many natural, technical and social systems are characterized by the property ofheredity (heredity or memory), when the actual dynamic characteristics of the system are determined by itsentire prehistory. Mathematical formalization of such properties in mathematical models is usually ensuredby the introduction of integral terms (memory functionals) with difference kernels. Therefore, taking intoaccount the effects of heredity in dynamic processes and systems also determines the relevance of the study.

Finite Element Method in Machining Processes


Free Download Finite Element Method in Machining Processes By Angelos P. Markopoulos (auth.)
2013 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 1447143299 | PDF | 3 MB
Finite Element Method in Machining Processes provides a concise study on the way the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used in the case of manufacturing processes, primarily in machining. The basics of this kind of modeling are detailed to create a reference that will provide guidelines for those who start to study this method now, but also for scientists already involved in FEM and want to expand their research.A discussion on FEM, formulations, and techniques currently in use is followed up by machining case studies. Orthogonal cutting, oblique cutting, 3D simulations for turning and milling, grinding, and state-of-the-art topics such as high speed machining and micromachining are explained with relevant examples. This is all supported by a literature review and a reference list for further study.As FEM is a key method for researchers in the manufacturing and especially in the machining sector, Finite Element Method in Machining Processes is a key reference for students studying manufacturing processes but also for industry professionals.
