Overview: Analyses all kinds of turbomachines with the same theoretical framework.Builds up theory with a mixture of general formulation of concepts and elaborates these concepts on particular machines.Includes.This book explores the working principles of all kinds of turbomachines. The same theoretical framework is used to analyse the different machine types. Fundamentals are first presented and theoretical concepts are then elaborated for particular machine types, starting with the simplest ones.For each machine type, the author strikes a balance between building basic understanding and expl

Overview: .Finsler‘s papers on set theory are presented, here for the first time in English translation, in three parts, and each is preceded by an introduction to the field written by the editors. In the philosophical part of his work Finsler develops his approach to the paradoxes, his attitude toward formalized theories and his defense of Platonism in mathematics. He insisted on the existence of a conceptual realm within mathematics that transcends formal systems. From the foundational point of view, Finsler‘s set theory contains a strengthened criterion for set identity and a coinductive sp

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The subject of this book is production, which is an important and extensive field in economic science. In fact, production, distribution and consump­ tion were long considered the three federated kingdoms which together formed the great empire of the economy. According to other slightly dif­ ferent traditions, production also held pride of place, specifically as a basic link in the long chain of social reproduction. Today, whatever the theoreti­ cal approach, production is a fundamental requirement for human survival. This was not, however, always the

This idea originates from the words of Eleanor Roosev

Overview: Susanne Klein-Vogelbach‘s acclaimed textbook describing her concept of functional kinetics!.The well-known physiotherapist presents her theory concerning the systematic observation and analysis of human movement. The purpose of functional kinetics is to improve observation, analysis and instruction of human movement. The physiotherapist must be able to analyse movement in order to find and define the functional problem. She or he must be able to effect the required change in movement, whether through manipulation, instructing the patient how to move or both..The ideas outlined in thi

Overview: This book comprises a selection of papers from IFSA 2007 on new methods and theories that contribute to the foundations of fuzzy logic and soft computing. These papers were selected from over 400 submissions and constitute an imp- tant contribution to the theory and applications of fuzzy logic and soft c- puting methodologies. Soft computing consists of several computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and other techniques, which can be used to produce powerful intelligent systems for solving real-world problems. The papers of IFSA 2007 also mak

Overview: This book is addressed to the university student who is not a science major and to the general reader. An attempt is made to present an integrated view of some of the basic concepts of physical, biological, and social sciences relevant to the problem of providing people with food.
