Computational Modeling by Case Study
Mathematical models power the modern world, but they are all uncertain. This book provides techniques to quantify uncertainty, allowing you to predict and design with confidence. Learn through case studies and reproducible examples in Python adapted for your own problems.
This book tackles modern methods in the modelling of extreme data, such as floods and hurricanes. It provides the latest statistical methods to predict these random phenomena and minimize damage, offering both an applied and theoretical orientation.
Disruption Recovery in Air Traffic
This is the first book to treat the optimisation of air traffic disruption management from a common good perspective, addressing airlines, airports, ATC providers, and the public. It describes optimisation techniques of immense value to industry professionals and academics.
For students and specialists in nonlinear dynamics, this book develops original methods to study dynamical chaos, synchronization, and dynamic structures in lattices of coupled rotators, using methods from bifurcation theory and qualitative numerical methods.
This book presents a theory of infrasound propagation in the atmosphere’s fine-scale layered structure. It explains experimental data from pulsed sources by developing a theory of how anisotropic inhomogeneities are formed by internal gravity waves and vortex structures.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
With demand for mobility growing and infrastructure limited, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are essential. This book presents the ingredients of good ITS not from a technology perspective, but from a business, management, and policy view, with real-life case studies.
Immobilizing ionic liquid (IL) in a polymer matrix is a low-cost method to produce ionogels—an excellent substitute for liquid electrolytes. This book provides a complete overview, from ionogel development to application, and covers characterization and transport properties.
Explore state-of-the-art research in infrastructure management, from innovative 3D-printed concrete to computer vision-based maintenance. This book is essential reading for engineers and contractors paving the way toward sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
Arrivals of Life to the Galápagos
Discover the Galápagos, from its first sighting to Darwin’s famous visit, Melville’s enchanted isles, and a secret WWII military base. This work intertwines history with the geology and unique organisms of the archipelago, brought to life with over 250 figures.
This book explores research topics in graph theory and its applications, from strongly perfect graphs and reconstruction conjectures to transport networks. It is ideal for researchers interested in exploring new areas of graph theory and its applications.
At present, the use of polymer composites filled with wood (WPC) is becoming increasingly popular. This book describes the basic physical and mechanical properties of modern WPC and the influence of climatic factors on its performance properties, amongst other important aspects.
These papers on northern Russia’s Ice Age reveal former arctic ice sheets and a unique Siberian glaciation. They tackle the debated size and age of the last glaciation, crucial for global climate models, early human migration, and even the distribution of petroleum reserves.
The Mysteries of Mystery Snails
This book is a comprehensive review of Chinese and Japanese mystery snails around the globe. It discusses fascinating facts on their dispersal, biology, ecology, impacts, and control, drawing from more than 900 peer-reviewed articles. For anyone interested in invasive molluscs.
University texts on industrial electrochemistry often skip the fundamentals. This book details the central aspects of solution conductivity, electrode thermodynamics, and electrode processes not covered in usual programs. It will be useful for undergraduate and graduate students.
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.
Planar Trusses
This book contains 73 schemes of trusses, with solutions for many not widely published. It identifies trusses with hidden dangerous properties and provides compact formulas for engineers and theorists to supplement numerical calculations, especially for complex structures.
From the late 16th century until their expulsion in 1767, Jesuits played a pivotal role in Spanish America. Their missions stretched from northern Mexico to South America, leaving a rich historical and architectural heritage. This volume outlines their development and legacy.
Go on a mathematical adventure that challenges you to think about the “why,” not just the “how.” Featuring relatable characters and real-world problems, this book brings complex topics to life. A fun and engaging read that trains your mind to think mathematically.
This book is the most complete description of a photochemical reaction first described 110 years ago. The reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene yields an oxetane ring with high selectivity—a key structure in many naturally occurring and bioactive compounds.
