Computational models must be adequate for real physical processes, yet the issue of adequacy is poorly understood. This is the first book to address constructing adequate mathematical descriptions, proposing two criteria and algorithms for specialists in mathematical modeling.
A lucid introduction to system dynamics and control. This book systematically introduces the mathematical tools for modeling engineering systems, followed by the fundamentals of control system design and analysis. Numerous examples and exercises are included for self-study.
Technical Chemistry
Discover new results in organic chemistry, materials science, and nanotech. A vital guide for developers balancing product innovation with economic, safety, and environmental demands.
Technological development is threatening to make the earth uninhabitable. This book presents scientific and engineering perspectives on promising, cost-effective technologies for restoring degraded environments and producing clean, low-carbon energy.
Technology, Innovations and Sustainability
This book offers an insight into emerging technologies to safeguard the future. A collection from leading experts, it provides cutting-edge solutions to climate change, covering topics like renewable energy, sustainable IoT, vaccine development, and waste management.
This book explores tectonic affects in architecture, where building technology and aesthetics are not separated. Affects are preconscious feelings that can generate aesthetic value and meaning. The book adopts a practical position, concentrating on these tectonic affects.
Tectonochronology
This book highlights new findings and methods in tectonochronology for the accurate dating of geological processes. It explores topics like mineral formation, dating deformation, and the influence of stress and fluid, with case studies from Chinese geology applicable worldwide.
This book describes terahertz radiation’s interaction with materials from dielectrics to metals. It covers all types of terahertz sources and detectors, investigates the “terahertz gap,” and explores means of increasing the working frequency and output power of the devices.
This book covers the theory and practice of hypothesis testing: deciding on the plausibility of models based on data. Useful for researchers and practitioners at all levels, it discusses important practical problems and provides detailed algorithms for their solutions.
Conventional theories about alloys are wrong. This book is the first to present exhaustive evidence that processes in alloys are determined by the chemical interaction between nearest atoms, radically changing our ability to consciously design new materials.
This book focuses on controlling interfacial strength, a key problem in adhesion science. It examines adhesive joints of fibers and modified epoxy resins, analyzing the dependence of adhesive strength on modifier concentration and the mechanisms controlling strength synergism.
The Ages of the Earth
Considering cosmogonies, theological dogmas, natural philosophy, Deism and the inevitable secularism of the Age of Enlightenment, Álvaro recounts the struggle that the human mind has undertaken, over two millennia, against creationist myths.
This book analyzes algorithms for stochastic phenomena like random processes and Markov chains. It presents a novel “Complex Probability Paradigm” applied to Brownian motion, making it ideal for researchers and students in mathematics, computer science, and science.
Chen delivers a feasible framework for applying airborne Lidar data to urban research. In addition to providing a general introduction to the subject, this book explains a series of case studies to show how theoretical models can be employed to address practical urban issues.
The Aravalli Range’s Past, Present and Future Prospects
The Aravalli Mountains’ rich heritage is at a crossroads. Drawing on advanced geospatial technology and field research, this essential guide identifies critical threats and provides a powerful roadmap for sustainable, community-driven conservation.
The Architecture of Jens Fredrick Larson
After becoming an ace with the Royal Flying Corps, Jens Fredrick Larson became an architect for more than thirty-five colleges. This text explores his major projects and the challenges faced late in his career when Modernism denigrated and misunderstood the Georgian style.
This book examines why modern architecture lacks humanity and creates environmental errors. It studies historical styles to show how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century by aggressive, reductionist ideologies that attack our inherited communities.
The Art of Artificial Intelligence
This book explores artificial intelligence through the unique lens of art, showing how we can engage with AI without being subjugated by it. Each chapter begins with a work of art to guide the reader through philosophical keywords like “author,” “memory,” and “human.”
The Art of Building at the Dawn of Human Civilization
This book offers an unconventional outlook on architecture’s evolution, showing how prehistoric people developed building by solving complex problems. It demonstrates building to be in synergy with the advancement of human abstract thought, proposing a new field of study.
The Art of Supposition
What if our reality is shaped by what we suppose? This book introduces a groundbreaking framework, redefining the human experience through the lens of Homo Putans, the “supposing human.” Enter a world where every thought is an invitation to question, explore, and suppose.
