![]() Geo-information: Technologies, Applications and the Environment by Mathias Lemmens English | EPUB | 2011 | 350 Pages | ISBN : 9400716664 | 8.9 MB Geomatics, the handling and processing of information and data about the Earth, is one geoscience discipline that has seen major changes in the last decade, as mapping and observation systems become ever more sensitive and sophisticated. This book is a unique and in-depth survey of the field, which has a central role to play in tackling a host of environmental issues faced by society. ![]() Genomics of Plant Genetic Resources: Volume 2. Crop productivity, food security and nutritional quality by Roberto Tuberosa English | EPUB | 2014 | 515 Pages | ISBN : 9400775741 | 3.9 MB Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for mining germplasm collections, mapping and cloning loci of interest, identifying novel alleles and deploying them for breeding purposes. ![]() Fundamentals of Propulsion English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030799441 | 164 Pages | PDF | 3 MB This highly informative book offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of propulsion. The book focuses on foundational topics in propulsion, namely gas dynamics, turbomachinery, and combustion to more complex subjects such as practical design aspects of aircraft engines and thermodynamic aspects and analysis. It also includes pedagogical aspects such as end-of-chapter problems and worked examples to augment learning and self-testing. This book is a useful reference for students in the area of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Also, scientists and engineers working in the areas of aerospace propulsion and gas dynamics find this book a valuable addition. ![]() Fundamentals of Cosmology, 2nd Edition by James Rich English | PDF | 2009 | 332 Pages | ISBN : 3642027997 | 7.4 MB A self-contained introduction to general relativity that is based on the homogeneity and isotropy of the local universe. Emphasis is placed on estimations of the densities of matter and vacuum energy, and on investigations of the primordial density fluctuations and the nature of dark matter. ![]() From Euclidean to Hilbert Spaces: Introduction to Functional Analysis and its Applications English | 2021 | ISBN: 1786306824 | 368 Pages | EPUB | 23 MB From Euclidian to Hilbert Spaces analyzes the transition from finite dimensional Euclidian spaces to infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, a notion that can sometimes be difficult for non-specialists to grasp. The focus is on the parallels and differences between the properties of the finite and infinite dimensions, noting the fundamental importance of coherence between the algebraic and topological structure, which makes Hilbert spaces the infinite-dimensional objects most closely related to Euclidian spaces. ![]() Food Tech Transitions: Reconnecting Agri-Food, Technology and Society by Cinzia Piatti English | PDF | 2019 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 3030210588 | 2.6 MB The food industry is now entering a transition age, as scientific advancements and technological innovations restructure what people eat and how people think about food. Food Tech Transitions provides a critical analysis of food technology and its impact, including the disruption potential of production and consumption logic, nutrition patterns, agronomic practices, and the human, environmental and animal ethics that are associated with technological change. ![]() Financial Theory with Python English | 2021 | ISBN: 9781098104351 | 213 Pages | EPUB | 9 MB Using an approach where mathematical concepts provide the common background against which financial ideas and programming techniques are learned, Financial Theory with Python teaches you the basics of financial economics. Written by the bestselling author of Python for Finance, Yves Hilpisch, this practical guide explains financial, mathematical, and Python programming concepts in an integrative manner so that the interdisciplinary concepts reinforce each other. ![]() Feyerabend's Epistemological Anarchism: How Science Works and its Importance for Science Education by Mansoor Niaz English | PDF | 2020 | 233 Pages | ISBN : 3030368580 | 2.2 MB This book argues that the traditional image of Feyerabend is erroneous and that, contrary to common belief, he was a great admirer of science. It shows how Feyerabend presented a vision of science that represented how science really works. Besides giving a theoretical framework based on Feyerabend´s philosophy of science, the book offers criteria that can help readers to evaluate and understand research reported in important international science education journals, with respect to Feyerabend's epistemological anarchism. The book includes an evaluation of general chemistry and physics textbooks. ![]() Extended Abstracts EuroComb 2021: European Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Applications English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030838226 | 875 Pages | PDF EPUB | 62 MB This book collects the extended abstracts of the accepted contributions to EuroComb21. A similar book is published at every edition of EuroComb (every two years since 2001) collecting the most recent advances in combinatorics, graph theory, and related areas. It has a wide audience in the areas, and the papers are used and referenced broadly. ![]() Exploring Service Science: 10th International Conference, IESS 2020, Porto, Portugal, February 5-7, 2020, Proceedings by Henriqueta Nóvoa English | PDF | 2020 | 403 Pages | ISBN : 3030387232 | 20.7 MB This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Exploring Service Science, IESS 2020, held in Porto, Portugal, in February 2020. |
