Molecular Simulations and Multiphysics Nanoscale Coupling
Molecular Simulations and Multiphysics Nanoscale Coupling focuses on the theoretical foundations and numerical methods for studying the behavior of materials and the coupling of mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. It provides a deeper understanding of the theoretical development of governing equations based on the Principle of Objectivity, which stipulates that all the variables appearing in the constitutive equations and balance laws must be objective. It presents the coupling of mechanics, thermal science, and electromagnetics rigorously through Nos矇-Hoover thermostat and Maxwell's equations. In addition, this book presents Sequential and Concurrent Multiscale Modeling and a newly developed CGMD to apply multiscale modeling to the behaviors of materials at nanoscale. It shows molecular dynamics simulation for studying fracture mechanics at the microscopic level, and analytically and numerically, not merely empirically. This book is essential for undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, and chemical engineering. It also serves as a reference book for researchers in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and chemical engineering.
Maintenance Engineering Handbook, Ninth Edition
The most complete and current guide to every aspect of maintenance engineering--updated to reflect the latest advances in the industry The most comprehensive resource of its kind, Maintenance Engineering Handbook has long been a staple for engineers, managers, and technicians seeking current advice on everything from tools and techniques to planning and scheduling. Since the last edition was published, there have been exponential technology advancements that directly affect maintenance and maintenance engineering function.Recent changes in technology, especially those of predictive analytics, wireless-cloud-base data acquisition, and smart sensors have radically changed the landscape of both engineering and maintenance management. This updated edition integrates these advances into a comprehensive approach to maintenance management with proven best practices for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), inventory management, root-cause analysis, and performance management.Featuring contributions from noted experts in the field, Maintenance Engineering Handbook, Ninth Edition will help engineers reduce excessive downtime and high maintenance costs by detecting and mitigating repetitive failures.

Fundamentals of Virology: Today's Persistence and Response
A concise, expertly written introduction to virology--a subject rapidly increasing in popularity and importance Fundamentals of Virology describes multiple viral species from each major family and compares their survival strategies. The book begins with a thorough introductory chapter explaining everything readers need to know about the basics of virology. Successive chapters are organized by major families within each Baltimore Classification, a system that classes viruses into one of seven groups. Descriptions include a comparison of viral species based on different identities, such as genome type, type of capsid structure and with or without an envelope, mode of transmission, and tropism. Structure-function relationship, cause and effect, adaptation, and persistence to exist (survival) are all covered. Fundamentals of Virology includes topics of pressing importance today, such as strategies for vaccines and the role of clinical, governmental, and individual response during epidemics and pandemics.
Studies in Construction History
The Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Conference of the Construction History Society held in Queens' College, Cambridge 12-13 April 2023. The papers cover a wide range of topics on Construction History ranging in period from Ancient Rome to the Late Twentieth Century.
C Programming and Numerical Analysis
This book is aimed at those in engineering/scientific fields who have never learned programming before but are eager to master the C language quickly so as to immediately apply it to problem solving in numerical analysis. The book skips unnecessary formality but explains all the important aspects of C essential for numerical analysis. Topics covered in numerical analysis include single and simultaneous equations, differential equations, numerical integration, and simulations by random numbers. In the Appendices, quick tutorials for gnuplot, Octave/MATLAB, and FORTRAN for C users are provided. For the second edition, a section on memory management was added. Exercise problems were updated and the numerical analysis part refined.
Leveraging Advanced Technologies: Business Model Innovation and the Future
This book examines how next-generation tools such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things are transforming not only the way companies operate, but also how they create value, define strategy, and drive growth. As emerging technologies reshape the business landscape, innovation has become a necessity rather than a choice. It offers an in-depth exploration of the evolving business model innovation landscape, combining diverse methodologies and real-world industry cases to illustrate the powerful intersection of technology and strategic transformation. Through practical insights, evidence-based analysis, and compelling case studies, this book equips decision-makers to adapt, innovate, and lead in a rapidly evolving digital environment. What You'll Discover: - The role of AI, blockchain, and IoT in reinventing business models - Frameworks and strategies for leveraging disruptive technologies - Policy and managerial insights to guide innovation in practice - Case studies illustrating sector-specific applications and outcomes - Multidisciplinary research perspectives supporting innovation management Ideal for scholars, professionals, executives, and policymakers, this book delivers the tools, clarity, and inspiration needed to navigate the future of business with confidence and creativity.
Creation, Transformation and Metamorphosis
The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) - Creation, Transformation and Metamorphosis were compiled to establish a multidisciplinary platform for presenting, interacting, and disseminating research. It also aims to foster awareness and discussion on Creation, Transformation and Metamorphosis, focusing on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Design and Social Sciences, and its importance and benefits for the sense of identity, both individual and communal. Creation, Transformation and Metamorphosis has been a powerful motor for development since the Western Early Modern Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, seeking strategies and policies to accelerate development in different contexts.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.
