Overview: Provides students and practitioners with an understanding of theory and application of river ice processes.Includes exercises designed for students to become familiar with available tools such as thos.This book exposes practitioners and decision-makers to the theory and application of river ice processes to gain a better understanding of these processes for modelling and ice flood hazard and risk assessment. It focuses on the following processes of the surface water ice: river freeze-up and flooding, mid-winter ice-cover breakup and flooding and end-of-winter ice-cover breakup and ic

Overview: Assessment of the radiological impact of planned or existing practices involving the (actual or potential) release of radionuclides to the environment are largely based on the use of modelling techniques which allow prediction of the relationship between environmental levels and releases and the associated radiation dose to man. Models are imperfect means of representing environmental transfer processes, and it is essential to know the reliability which can be associated with the predictions of these models for each and every assessment situation. Such information is necessary in ord

Overview: THE REAL THING by Isaac Asimov Back in 1939, when I was still a teenager, I began to write (and publish) a series of stories about robots which, for the first time in science fiction, were pictured as having been deliberately engineered to do their job safely. They were not intended to be creaky Gothic menaces, nor outlets for mawkish sentiment. They were simply well-designed machines. Beginning in 1942, I crystallized this notion in what I called ‘The Three Laws of Robotics‘ and, in 1950, nine of my robot stories were collected into a book, I, Robot. I did not at that time seriously

Overview: A good introduction/practitioner‘s guide to distributed programming.Contains lots of complete examplesThis book is a translation ofthe accomplishment ofthe French engineer Ammar Attoui, who has set out to bring together the works of computer scientists and automotive engineers. Computer scientists have worked on the same type of systems as automotive engineers, but have used different designs, methods and tools. The former call the resultant systems "real-time systems", and the latter call them "discontinuous event systems". Today, telecommunications systems of increasing performance

Overview: Combines control and automotive expertise from an interdisciplinary standpoint.Introduces a control-oriented modeling technology for nonlinear vehicle dynamics.Provides valuable guidance for independeThis book presents techniques such as the robust control and nonlinearity approximation using linear-parameter-varying (LPV) techniques. Meanwhile, the control of independently driven electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles is introduced. It covers a comprehensive literature review, robust state estimation with uncertain measurements, sideslip angle estimation with finite-frequency opt

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Richard Hauser Irene Becker Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University, FrankfurtlMain This volume marks the end of a research project of the editors titled "The Devel­ opment of the Personal Distribution of Income in Germany" that was financed by the Hans Bockler Foundation from 1994 to 2001. This research concentrated on a national perspective, studying many aspects of income inequality and poverty in West Germany between 1969 and 1998 and extending the analyses to inequality in East Germany after the German reunification. Now at the end point of our empiri­

Overview: Shows that realism is more dependent on visual representation than previously recognised.Looks at a wide variety of writers, from Ruskin to Braddon.Looks at visual as well as textual cultureThis book is about the historical moment when writers and critics first used the term “realism” to describe representation in literature and painting. While scholarship on realism tends to proceed from an assumption that the term has a long-established meaning and history, this book reveals that mid-nineteenth-century critics and writers first used the term reluctantly, with much confusion over wh

Overview: Presents selected papers from the 46th National Symposium on Acoustics (NSA 2017).Offers insight into the latest scientific findings and technological applications in the field.Covers latest topics inThis book presents the proceedings of the 46th National Symposium on Acoustics (NSA 2017). The main goal of this symposium is to discuss key opportunities and challenges in acoustics, especially as applied to engineering problems. The book covers topics ranging from hydro-acoustics, environmental acoustics, bio-acoustics to musical acoustics, electro-acoustics and sound perception. The c

Overview: During the last decade, a rapid growth of knowledge in the field of re-entry and planetary entry has resulted in many significant advances useful to the student, engineer and scientist. The purpose of offering this course is to make available to them these recent significant advances in physics and technology. Accordingly, this course is organized into five parts: Part 1, Entry Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Physics and Radiation; Part 2, Entry Abla­ tion and Heat Transfer; Part 3, Entry Experimentation; Part 4, Entry Concepts and Technology; and Part 5, Advanced Entry Programs. It is wri

Overview: Im zunehmenden Wettbewerb der Regionen wird die Entwicklung endogener regionaler Wachstumspotenziale zum entscheidenden Wettbewerbsparameter. Die Existenz einer Hochschule in einer Region kann in diesem Zusammenhang zu Wettbewerbsvorteilen führen, da der Wissenstransfer zwischen Hochschule und regionaler Wirtschaft das wachstumsrelevante "innovative Milieu" der Region mitprägt.Auf der Basis einer Befragung nordhessischer Unternehmen untersuchen die Autoren den Wissenstransfer am Beispiel der Universität Gesamthochschule Kassel. Es werden die Bestimmungsgründe für die Intensität des W

Overview: This book is a sequel to Reliability Evaluation of Engineering Systems: Concepts and Techniques, written by the same authors and published by Pitman Books in January 1983. As a sequel, this book is intended to be considered and read as the second of two volumes rather than as a text that stands on its own. For this reason, readers who are not familiar with basic reliability modelling and evaluation should either first read the companion volume or, at least, read the two volumes side by side. Those who are already familiar with the basic concepts and only require an extension of their
