Smarter Air Pollution Monitoring for Sustainable Cities
Explore the global concern over air pollution and its impact on urban health. Discover smarter monitoring solutions driven by technologies like IoT and AI. This volume provides insights into policy, collaborative initiatives, and the future of sustainable air quality management.
This book presents a novel approach, Design for Reliability Predictability (DRP). DRP helps predict system reliability from its components and their interactions by integrating precise design, specification, and documentation. A case study demonstrates its application.
Software Testing and Global Industry
Testing in a Global Software Development (GSD) environment is not the simple task it’s perceived to be. This work demonstrates the complexities of distributed development and provides practical, industry-based solutions for all those implementing a GSD strategy.
Globally, over two thirds of soils are affected by constraints, causing significant yield loss. This book brings together global experts to outline the most successful strategies to manage these constraints for sustainable food production worldwide.
Solar PV power is intermittent. This book provides an understanding of this variability and its impacts on power systems. It explores the sources of intermittency, from solar irradiation to dust, and the consequences for power system design and operation.
This book addresses the complex N-body problem, providing a general approach to show that many mass configurations can be solved deterministically. It gives the reader the tools to master binary, trinary, and quadruple structured configurations for real and theoretical work.
This book presents one hundred solved problems in Classical Mechanics to support students of Physics and Engineering. Detailed solutions feature practical applications, numerical examples, and result analysis. Key topics include Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian Mechanics.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
This hugely diverse volume reveals the extent to which aural perception influences our spatial awareness. Spanning psychology to geography, and zoology to urban planning, it covers a range of environments in which sounds contribute to forming our sense of space and place.
Space Systems Architecture for Resource Utilization
Space resources will transform human enterprise. This practical workbook is an invaluable guide for start-ups, students, and space enthusiasts. Learn how to start a space business, engage regulators, and coordinate teams to gain the confidence to build, live, and work in space.
Space, Life, Science and Stories
Surges of public interest in life from the cosmos often leave people confused and exploited. This book explores the causes of these surges, the stories they generate, and the relevant science, allowing you to become aware of the facts and judge them for yourself.
This book sets forth the theory of optimal manoeuvring near a circular orbit for transfer and rendezvous problems. It presents simple analytical methods for real spacecraft and details effective methods for manoeuvre assessment to more accurately propagate collision hazards.
This book covers the spatial anisotropy of induced optical effects in crystalline materials. It details analytical descriptions, 3D geometric representations, and experimental methods for studying electro-, piezo-, elasto-, and acousto-optic phenomena.
This collection of essays presents innovative concepts to understand the spaces of the Americas through local lenses. Challenging canonical knowledge derived from outside the region, it introduces a new conceptual framework to analyze the spatial histories of the Americas.
Spiritual and Ecological Civilization
Analyzing the global crises of our ‘technogenic and consumer’ civilization, this book shows the necessity of transitioning to a new ‘spiritually-ecological’ one. It demonstrates the real indicators of such a transformation and the main problems of the transition.
Stability Principle and the Nature of Quantization
This book shows how quantum phenomena can emerge from classical principles extended to non-inertial frames. Its Stability Principle reinterprets Bell inequality violations, arguing they reflect inherent statistical structure, not fundamental non-locality.
This book presents a unified, accessible approach to the physics of the liquid state, in and out of equilibrium. It covers statistical mechanics and complex fluids, making it an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry.
This book helps naturalists, nature stewards, and students comprehend basic statistical concepts as a bridge to more complex themes. Using the Florida scrub as an example, it connects with the needs of field practitioners, focusing on the analytical decision-making process.
