Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Periodic control has reached a notable degree of maturity thanks to developments over the last few decades. We have seen not only major theoretical achievements but also new significant applications.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These Proceedings contain the papers presented at the 3rd IFAC International Workshop on Time Delay Systems, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, 8 - 10 December 2001. The first workshop in this series took place in Grenoble, France, 1998 and the second workshop was held in Ancona, Italy, 2000. This workshop's scope has expanded to include nonlinear systems. This workshop also contains various 'new' applications of delay systems including those of communication networks and computing. The effects of delay are currently being felt in many research areas and this workshop was held in an attempt to bring together researchers from various technical fields in order to advance our understanding of delay phenomena in dynamical systems.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This Handbook provides a concise overview of the latest technologies for managing industrial air pollution in petrochemical, oil and gas, and allied industries. Detailed material on equipment selection, sizing, and troubleshooting operations is provided along with practical design methodology. Unique to this volume are discussions and information on energy-efficient technologies and approaches to implementing environmental cost accounting measures. Included in the text are sidebar discussions, questions for thinking and discussing, recommended resources for the reader (including Web sites), and a comprehensive glossary. The Handbook of Air Pollution Prevention and Control also includes free access to US EPA's air dispersion model SCREEN3. Detailed examples on the application of this important software to analyzing air dispersion from industrial processes and point sources are provided in the Handbook, along with approaches to applying this important tool in developing approaches to pollution prevention and in selecting control technologies. SCREEN3 can be downloaded from a Butterworth-Heinemann Web site. By applying SCREEN3, along with the examples given in the Handbook, the user can: evaluate the impact of processes and operations to air quality, and apply the model to assess emergency scenarios to help in planning, to develop environmental impact assessments, to select pollution control technologies, and to develop strategies for pollution prevention. Two companion books by Cheremisinoff are available: Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, and Handbook of Solid Waste Management and Waste Minimization Technologies. Uniquely combines preventionand control concepts while covering the practices and technologies that are applied to the prevention of air pollution in the chemicals manufacturing, oil and gas, iron and steel, and pharmaceutical industries, and to the cleaning and control of industrial air emissions.Pr.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Created in 1975, 'LMT-Cachan' is a joint laboratory 'ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris 6) University' and the French Research Council 'CNRS' (Department of Engineering Sciences).The Year 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of LMT. On this occasion, a series of lectures was organized in Cachan in September-October, 2000. This publication contains peer-reviewed proceedings of these lectures and is aimed to present engineers and scientists with an overview of the latest developments in the field of damage mechanics. The formulation of damage models and their identification procedures were discussed for a variety of materials.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book aims to provide scientists with information about a series of techniques that can be used with a view to facilitating the transformation of the sample to an appropriate state for subsequent detection or quantitation of its components of interest. The techniques dealt with range from the very simple ones (e.g. freeze-drying) to other more complex ones (e.g. glow discharge and laser-induced breakdown sampling).
