Quantum computing, particularly in conjunction with a high level of interconnectivity facilitated by quantum connectivity can facilitate a host of new, previously unattainable applications. This book is a very basic introduction for practitioners to emerging Quantum Communications foundations and applications.

Learning Bio-Micro-Nanotechnology is a primer on micro/nanotechnology that teaches the vocabulary, fundamental concepts, and applications of micro/nanotechnology in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, electronics, computers, biomedicine, microscopy, ethics, and risks to humankind. It provides an introduction into the small world with a low fog index, emphasizing the concepts using analogies and illustrations to simplify the non-observables. The chapters have many "thinking exercises" an...

How are todays hearts and minds programs linked to a late-19th century definition of human factors as peoples moral and mental deficits? What do Heinrichs unsafe acts from the 1930s have in common with the Swiss cheese model of the early 1990s? Why was the reinvention of human factors in the 1940s such an important event in the development of safety thinking? What makes many of our current systems so complex and impervious to Tayloristic safety interventions? Foundations of Safety Science cov...

Modeling, analysis, and simulation-everything vibration engineering students need to succeed, including late-breaking advances in this ever-changing field

Advanced Mechanical Vibration covers modeling and analysis of vibrating systems with damping and gyroscopic effects, dynamics of combined distributed-lumped systems, and approximate methods for solutions of complex vibration problems, which are often overlooked in other such textbooks. Case studies and pre-coded MATLAB toolboxes for vibrati...

Helps engineers instill knowledge on a daily basis, to do their jobs and to maintain and assure reliable equipment to help reduce costs. This book includes graphs, charts, calculations, tables, curves, and explanations, and basic rules of thumb that engineers working with equipment will need for basic maintenance and reliability of that equipment.

For first-year undergraduate modules in Engineering Mathematics. Develop understanding and maths skills within an engineering contextModern Engineering Mathematics, 6th Edition by Professors Glyn James and Phil Dyke, draws on the teaching experience and knowledge of three co-authors, Matthew Craven, John Searl and Yinghui Wei, to provide a comprehensive course textbook explaining the mathematics required for studying first-year engineering. No matter which field of engineering you will go on ...

Over 1600 code examples show how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code. This edition is based on MATLAB® and a number of MathWorks® toolboxes. The code can also be the starting point for new work, for practitioners, students, or researchers, by writing programs based on toolbox functions.

Bij het ontwerpen van gebouwen heeft men voortdurend te maken met maten die zijn afgeleid van de afmetingen van het menselijk lichaam. Wij vinden deze menselijke maten of veelvouden hiervan terug in de afmetingen van onderdelen van gebouwen, zoals trappen, deuren, keukens en voorwerpen die zijn bestemd voor het gebruik door mensen.Om te voorkomen dat iedere ontwerper opnieuw deze maten zelf moeten opmeten is dit boekje. 'De menselijke maat', samengesteld. In deze uitgave worden niet alleen de...
