Retrofitting the Built Environment
By 2050, emissions from buildings could double. This book presents a powerful decision support system for evaluating environmentally and economically optimal retrofit options for non-domestic buildings, providing essential insights for engineers, architects, and policy makers.
Revisiting the Past through Rhetorics of Memory and Amnesia
This volume investigates how our memories of conflict are shaped by rhetoric. From the American Revolution to the war in Iraq, the authors examine how rhetoric acts as a catalyst not only for what we remember, but also for what we are made to forget.
Revolution of Cosmetics
Cosmeceuticals merge cosmetics with pharmaceutical properties. This book clarifies their complex regulatory landscape and explores the latest trends in cosmetic science, evaluating products that claim to deliver positive physiological impacts.
Rigid Body as a Constrained System
This book presents the dynamics of spinning bodies, the most confusing topic in Classical Mechanics. Starting from the variational problem, it treats the rigid body as a system of particles, creating a simple, transparent approach that eliminates the need for extra postulates.
This guide offers a comprehensive understanding of robotics, automation, and CNC technology. Learn how they interact to enhance precision and productivity in modern manufacturing. With real-world examples, it’s an invaluable resource for students, engineers, and professionals.
This book contains proceedings from the ICRAIC 2K25 conference, where leading global experts explored cutting-edge innovations in robotics, automation, and AI. It offers valuable insights into the latest trends, challenges, and applications for researchers and professionals.
Robust Control
This course shows how modern robust control theory addresses real-world problems where models are uncertain and systems must handle external perturbations. It covers Linear Matrix Inequalities, H1-Control, the Attractive Ellipsoid Method, and Sliding Mode Control.
Romanesque Architecture and its Artistry in Central Europe, 900-1300
This book surveys Romanesque architecture in Central Europe, from palaces and castles to its major churches. It focuses on the artistic ornamentation—from portals to capitals—that transformed these monumental fortresses of God into powerful sermons in stone.
Romanticism, Rhetoric and the Search for the Sublime
This book re-contextualizes Romantic rhetorical theory to construct a Neo-Romantic theory for our time. Correcting misconceptions about major Romantic writers, it uniquely links their love of nature to the current environmental crisis.
This book is a precise and comprehensive history of the digital computer, tracing its roots and routes through the modern era. Though dealing with the history of technology in general, its central focus is the automatic digital program-controlled calculating devices of 1935-1945.
Rigging is hazardous and complex. This book deals exhaustively with the scientific principles and safe practices for rigging heavy loads. It is a must-read for managers and engineers responsible for the safety of their teams involved in heavy rigging activities.
Safety Management for the City Gas Industry
City gas provides great convenience but also poses dangers. This book discusses safety issues from a management perspective, sorting out important Chinese laws and summarising practices and experiences to benefit professionals across the globe.
San Joaquin Kit Foxes and Solar Farms
Endangered San Joaquin kit foxes are losing habitat to solar farms. However, due to key conservation measures, the foxes are colonizing the farms and thriving. This book presents research detailing the fortuitous coexistence between kit foxes and solar energy.
This book explores quantum-mechanical scattering in macroscopic targets and the conditions for coherent scattering on a macroscopic scale. It introduces coherence domains and examines their role in scattering, emphasizing the momentum and energy transfer to the target.
This book solves scattering problems for elastic waves in solids using analytical approaches. It provides benchmark solutions for numerical methods and introduces applications in ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation, material characterization, and geophysics.
Science and Biotechnology in Africa
This volume provides a selection of papers from the conference “Translational Science and Biotechnology Advances in Africa.” Encompassing fields from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences to agriculture, it reflects the tangible advancement of science in Africa.
This book explores the interface between biochemistry and cosmochemistry to understand how life began on Earth and if this process is universal. Told through personal anecdotes, it focuses on amino acids to ask if life could originate and evolve on other worlds.
Science Meets Sports
This book presents sports statistics to academics and fans alike. Even without advanced math knowledge, readers will gain completely new insights into their favourite sports by combining sports analytics, data visualisation, and advanced statistical procedures.
