Free Download Pedro F. Arce, "Fluid Phase Behavior of Systems Involving High Molecular Weight Compounds and Supercritical Fluids "
English | ISBN: 1616683104 | 2010 | 127 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Although supercritical fluids (SCF) and their unique solvent characteristics have been a matter of continuing scientific interest since the past century, their potential benefit to chemical processing have not been fully realised; it is only in the past a few years that SCF solvents have been the focus of active research and development programs.

Artificial Intelligence and Systems of the Earth


Free Download Artificial Intelligence and Systems of the Earth by Michel Speiser
English | October 18, 2024 | ISBN: 1032710500 | 96 pages | MOBI | 2.12 Mb
Artificial Intelligence and Systems of the Earth is a book about the potential and capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for studying the Earth. It aims to serve as an eye-opener on new avenues of scientific research that can be enabled by AI/ML. This is not meant to be a ‘how to’ book but is written to answer the question ‘what if’. It explains how these tools are currently being applied, and the new opportunities they have opened. Through many examples and application ideas from outside the Earth Sciences, the book discusses some of the most prevalent types of AI in current use, the future of AI hardware, and how AI/ML bring about change.

English | August 4, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0D38FHFS5 | 293 pages | EPUB | 0.26 Mb
Rust isn’t just another programming language; it’s a paradigm shift in the way we approach systems development. By combining low-level control with high-level safety guarantees, Rust empowers you to build software that is not only performant and efficient but also incredibly reliable and secure. Say goodbye to those dreaded segmentation faults and memory leaks!

Water Resources Systems of the Philippines Modeling Studies


Free Download Water Resources Systems of the Philippines: Modeling Studies by Guillermo Q. Tabios III
English | EPUB | 2020 | 403 Pages | ISBN : 3030254003 | 215 MB
This book presents a number of modeling studies of various water resources systems in the humid tropics and the typical short, steep mountain-to-coast systems in the archipelagic setting of the Philippines. Covering natural and rural systems, urban watersheds and built systems, such as reservoirs and flood control systems, it discusses modeling studies based on pure simulation and combined optimization-simulation. The book offers insights into real-world water resources modeling, and as such is a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the Philippines, as well as those in other Asian regions with similar water resources systems, and similar issues, problems and concerns.

The Karst Systems of Florida Understanding Karst in a Geologically Young Terrain


Free Download The Karst Systems of Florida: Understanding Karst in a Geologically Young Terrain by Sam Upchurch
English | EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 459 Pages | ISBN : 3319696343 | 268.3MB
This book discusses the geology, hydrogeology, and water quality/geochemistry of karst systems in geologically young terrain, using the state of Florida as an example. Also discussed are sinkhole-development models; sinkhole risk; eogenetic karst features developed in rocks as young as 125,000 years and as old as 65 million years; and karst landscapes of Florida, including regional geology and geomorphology with important examples of karst features, such as springs, sinkholes, caves, and other karst landforms. The eogenetic karst of Florida is largely covered and this book extensively discusses the interactions of karst processes with sand- and clay-rich cover materials.

Optimization Advances in Electric Power Systems


Free Download Edgardo D. Castronuovo, "Optimization Advances in Electric Power Systems"
English | ISBN: 1606926136 | 2009 | 293 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Optimisation is the systematised search for the best action, the procedure used to make a system as effective or functional as possible. In the last two decades, optimisation techniques have extended in the electric industry. The present book includes some of the most significant present and foreseen optimisation applications in electric power systems. Four Fellow Members of IEEE and other relevant academia and industry authors developed optimisation techniques in the following areas: state estimation, transmission expansion planning, electricity markets, voltage control, wind power, security stability, optimal placement of equipments, distributed generation and others. All the chapters include algorithms, methods, know-how and examples of applications in real and test systems.

Modelling Written Communication A New Systems Approach to Modelling in the Social Sciences


Free Download Deirdre Pratt, "Modelling Written Communication: A New Systems Approach to Modelling in the Social Sciences"
English | 2011 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 9048198429 | PDF | 2,6 mb
This book offers an alternative view to current postmodern approaches to composition. It takes a critical realist stance to arrive at the "essence" of written communication with the aim of informing a practical application: a computerised writing tutor. Following Robert Franck’s seminal work on modelling, a theoretical model of writing was first formulated, consisting of an architecture of functions which constitute the prerequisites for effective communication. Next, an applied model – a composing algorithm with an input option – was developed, showing composing to be a systemic social process with intra- and extra-systemic variation. The algorithm provided the design template for a writing tutor program which models for the learner both the systemic and the socially situated nature of writing. This book establishes composing as a communicative interaction, and shows the essential dynamism of writing, while offering an exemplar of a systems approach to modelling in the social sciences.
