 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1350269433 | 230 pages | True EPUB | 20.52 MB This accessible book explains the significance of relationships between the body and the mark, visual imitation, drawing and writing and visual storytelling, providing a simple guide to these key ideas. For millennia drawing has been conceived as an exploratory activity, mediating between the vision of the drafter and what they are drawing. Drawing reveals hidden relationships, directs attention, scrutinises the material world and provides plans for further action.  English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032259809 | 249 pages | True PDF EPUB | 4.13 MB Think Like a Terrorist to Combat Terrorism and Radicalization in Prison provides guidelines for hardening facilities, training staff, preparing for radicalized-terrorist inmates' incarceration, and monitoring these inmates after their release. The book combines practitioner experience with scholarly insights to offer practical suggestions bolstered by research. The authors offer suggestions for housing, programming, security, and staff training with the ultimate goal of keeping correctional facilities, staff, and other inmates, safe from radicalization and spreading terrorist doctrines and terrorist acts, which requires examining and potentially changing prison and correctional officer policies and procedures, hiring and training suitable staff, and ensuring technology is available.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032065109 | 309 pages | True PDF | 16.48 MB Thin Film Coatings: Properties, Deposition, and Applications discusses the holistic subject of conventional and emerging thin film technologies without bias to a specific technology based on the existing literature. It covers properties and delves into the various methods of thin film deposition, including the most recent techniques and a direction for future developments. It also discusses the cutting-edge applications of thin film coatings such as self-healing and smart coatings, biomedical, hybrid, and scalable thin films. Finally, the concept of Industry 4.0 in thin film coating technology is examined.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0323906265 | 436 pages | True pdf, epub | 50.65 MB Thermofluids: From Nature to Engineering presents the fundamentals of thermofluids in an accessible and student-friendly way. Author David Ting applies his 23 years of teaching to this practical reference which works to clarify phenomena, concepts and processes via nature-inspired examples, giving the readers a well-rounded understanding of the topic. It introduces the fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics which underpin most engineering systems, providing the reader with a solid basis to transfer and apply to other engineering disciplines.
 English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030986926 | 487 pages | True PDF EPUB | 116.61 MB This book offers a unique treatment of building insulating products and the integration of these products with building components. This book was written for all those involved in building design, specification, construction, and commissioning, providing them with an understanding of and appreciation for the wide variety of thermal insulation products and technologies available for use in all types of buildings. The book proceeds from basic definitions and discussion of heat-transfer topics and thermal insulation concepts, to the design and use of these products. The impact of thermal insulation on dynamic building performance, including factors other than heating and cooling, is also discussed.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3527347828 | 684 pages | True PDF | 21.61 MB An all-in-one reference work covering the essential principles and techniques on thermal behavior and response of polymeric materials  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030932192, 978-1489977601 | 836 pages | True PDF EPUB | 136.83 MB The second edition of this book would not have been possible without the comments and suggestions from students, especially those at Columbia University. Many of the new topics introduced here are a direct result of student feedback that helped refine and clarify the material. The intention of this book was to develop material that the author would have liked to have had available as a student.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 152757413X | 281 pages | True PDF | 5.99 MB This second volume presents research in the field of the mathematical model operation of economic systems, again using as a basis the theory and methods of vector optimization. This volume includes three chapters. The first chapter deals with issues related to the theory of the company, modeling and decision-making, while the second deals with issues related to modeling and decision-making in market systems. The third chapter deals with issues related to modeling, forecasting and decision-making.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1450387284, 978-1450387293 | 452 pages | True PDF | 12.99 MB Sir Tony Hoare has had an enormous influence on computer science, from the Quicksort algorithm to the science of software development, concurrency and program verification. His contributions have been widely recognised: He was awarded the ACM's Turing Award in 1980, the Kyoto Prize from the Inamori Foundation in 2000, and was knighted for "services to education and computer science" by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 2000. |
