 Direct and Large-Eddy Simulation by Bernard J. Geurts English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110516217 | 320 pages | True PDF EPUB | 41.21 MB The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs and specialized graduate texts which cover the modern mathematical foundations behind computational science and its applications in physical and life sciences, and in engineering. One of its main objectives is to make available to the professional community expositions of results and in-depth presentation of techniques that are of current importance to technological and practical applications. This authoritative book presents an overview of the mathematics behind the simulation of turbulent flows and discusses in detail the phenomenology of turbulence in fluid dynamics, direct and large-eddy simulations, subgrid modeling, and also covers validation and reliability issues.
 Dietary Polyphenols in Human Diseases; Advances and Challenges in Drug Discovery by Mithun Rudrapal English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032170387 | 301 pages | True PDF | 43.07 MB Diets rich in plant polyphenols or dietary polyphenols are the subject of increasing scientific interest because of their diverse range of health benefits and medicinal uses. This book, Dietary Polyphenols in Human Diseases: Advances and Challenges in Drug Discovery, fills the gap that exists in the current knowledge by presenting the latest information in the area of polyphenol-based drug discovery research. The book focuses on the current understanding of the beneficial effects on human health of diets rich in polyphenols and/or polyphenolic compounds derived from dietary sources (plant-based foods) and their possible preventive role in the management of chronic human diseases. In addition, biochemical mechanisms involved in the antioxidative effect of dietary polyphenols along with their bioavailability, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological considerations are also discussed herein.  Design for Enhancing Eco-efficiency of Energy-related Products by Suphichaya Suppipat, Treechada Chotiratanapinun, Kulthida Teachavorasinskun, Allen H. Hu English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031150597 | 93 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.78 MB This brief textbook underpins the concept of eco-efficiency in product design and systematically addresses the essence of the integration of simplified life cycle assessment (LCA) methods and tools into industrial design. Fundamental steps of LCA-based tools implementation within the higher education context are proposed, using energy-related products (ErP) design as a prime case study. All chapters are designed to respond to the common frequently asked questions in LCA-based tools implementation during the sustainable product design process. The chapters are also enriched with discussions, data sources of simplified LCA tools, and examples of design assignments that provide constructive learning. Some assignments aim at encouraging tool users' reflections while others tackle particularly at knowledge exchange. The examples can assist the reader to visualize challenges and opportunities to engage learners who are tool users. This textbook broadens LCA knowledge for industrial design and environmental engineering students as well as enhance their sustainable product design performance. For professional practitioners including industrial designers, product engineers, entrepreneurs and the like, this textbook can be used as a guide at the introductory level for integrating life cycle thinking into product design and development.  Deliberate Practice in Systemic Family Therapy by Adrian Blow;Ryan Seedall;Deb Miller;Tony Rousmaniere;Alexandre Vaz;, Ryan B. Seedall, Debra L. Miller,, Tony Rousmaniere, Alexandre Vaz English | 2022 | ISBN: 1433837633 | 255 pages | True PDF EPUB | 9.71 MB Deliberate practice exercises allow students and trainees to rehearse systemic family therapy (SFT) skills to develop basic competence and hone their own personal therapeutic style.  Decision Trees with Hypotheses by Mohammad Azad, Igor Chikalov, Shahid Hussain, Mikhail Moshkov, Beata Zielosko English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031085841 | 148 pages | True PDF EPUB | 13.87 MB In this book, the concept of a hypothesis about the values of all attributes is added to the standard decision tree model, considered, in particular, in test theory and rough set theory. This extension allows us to use the analog of equivalence queries from exact learning and explore decision trees that are based on various combinations of attributes, hypotheses, and proper hypotheses (analog of proper equivalence queries). The two main goals of this book are (i) to provide tools for the experimental and theoretical study of decision trees with hypotheses and (ii) to compare these decision trees with conventional decision trees that use only queries, each based on a single attribute.  Dealing with Econometrics: Real World Cases with Cross-Sectional Data by Jordi Ripolls, Author;Inmaculada Martnez-Zarzoso, Author;Maite Alguacil, Author; English | 2022 | ISBN: 152758500X | 210 pages | True PDF | 6.53 MB The book covers the basic statistical tools needed to analyse cross-sectional data in order to identify, quantify and evaluate possible socio-economic relationships. It contains both theoretical summaries and practical examples and exercises, some of which are solved using Excel or the Gretl software package. The exercises are mostly based on real-world data from Europe and Spain. The book also discusses basic methods, principles and practices of cross-sectional econometrics, considering simple and multiple regression analysis, statistical inference, the use of qualitative information in regression analysis and discrete choice models. In essence, it is a practical guide to the fundamentals of econometrics commonly taught in undergraduate courses in Business Administration, Finance and Accounting, and Economics in Europe.  Curatorial Practices for Botanical Gardens by Timothy C. Hohn; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1538151774 | 415 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.07 MB A botanical garden is essentially a living museum. Yet until now no resource existed to give those working in botanical gardens specific guidance for acquiring and maintaining their natural collections. Timothy C. Hohn does the field an enormous service with Curatorial Practices for Botanical Gardens, which introduces public garden professionals and students to standard and specialized museological concepts and practices useful for the management of botanical collections. Hohn offers instruction on how to construct collections management policies, maintain steady new acquisitions, document collections, ensure adequate preservation and care of specimens, conduct research, and encourage public engagement with the garden.  Cruel But Not Unusual by Ramona Alaggia;Cathy Vine;, Cathy Vine English | 2022 | ISBN: 1771125357 | 641 pages | True PDF EPUB | 8.33 MB Picture family life in Canada. Does it include women or girls being murdered, on average, every two and a half days? Or the fact that intimate partner violence counts as nearly one-third of all reports to police? Or that child or elder abuse is more common than you might imagine?
 Creating Visual Narratives Through Photography; A Fresh Approach to Making a Living as a Photographer by Mike Davis English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032262869 | 241 pages | True PDF | 39.28 MB This book provides photographers with the foundation to craft more compelling photos from concept all the way through to creation and distribution, on the path to making a living.
