 System Safety for the 21st Century English | 2022 | ISBN: 111963475X | 370 Pages | EPUB (True) | 23 MB The Second Edition of System Safety for the 21st Century delivers an authoritative primer on the identification, evaluation, analysis, and control of hazards to people, components, sub-systems, systems, processes, and facilities. The book offers readers a complete discussion on techniques within system safety, the discipline on process safety, as well as a comprehensive treatment on professionalism within the safety industry.  Symplectic Integration of Stochastic Hamiltonian Systems English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811976694 | 312 Pages | EPUB (True)/PDF | 28 MB This book provides an accessible overview concerning the stochastic numerical methods inheriting long-time dynamical behaviours of finite and infinite-dimensional stochastic Hamiltonian systems. The long-time dynamical behaviours under study involve symplectic structure, invariants, ergodicity and invariant measure. The emphasis is placed on the systematic construction and the probabilistic superiority of stochastic symplectic methods, which preserve the geometric structure of the stochastic flow of stochastic Hamiltonian systems.  Swarm Intelligence: An Approach from Natural to Artificial English | 2023 | ISBN: 1119865069 | 233 Pages | EPUB (True) | 6 MB Motivated by the capability of the biologically inspired algorithms, "Swarm Intelligence: An Approach from Natural to Artificial" focuses on ant, cat, crow, elephant, grasshopper, water wave and whale optimization, swarm cyborg and particle swarm optimization, and presents recent developments and applications concerning optimization with swarm intelligence techniques. The goal of the book is to offer a wide spectrum of sample works developed in leading research throughout the world about innovative methodologies of swarm intelligence and foundations of engineering swarm intelligent systems; as well as applications and interesting experiences using particle swarm optimization, which is at the heart of computational intelligence.  Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery (5th Edition) English | 2022 | ISBN: 1119706459 | 626 Pages | EPUB (True) | 304 MB In the newly revised Fifth Edition of Sustainable Construction: Green Building Design and Delivery, the late Dr. Charles J. Kibert delivers a rigorous overview of the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings. In the leading textbook on sustainable building, the author provides thoroughly updated information on everything from materials selection to building systems.  Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 60: Microbial Processes in Agriculture English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031241800 | 467 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 39 MB In the context of rising adverse effects of climate change on agriculture, there is a need for advanced methods and practices to manage soils for production of food and energy. This book presents the latest advances in microbial processes that control plant growth, with focus on genomic tools, microbial interactions with the plant and soils habitats, mobilization of plant nutrients, agricultural waste management, biodegradation, bioremediation, carbon sequestration, land reclamation, plant growth promotion, suppression of plant pathogens, induced systemic resistance and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses.  Sustainability: A History, Revised and Updated Edition by Jeremy L. Caradonna English | June 3rd, 2022 | ISBN: 0197625037 | 344 pages | True EPUB | 1.06 MB From one of the world's leading experts on the subject, a fully updated introduction to the sustainability movement from the 1600s to today  Martha Langford, "Suspended Conversations: The Afterlife of Memory in Photographic Albums" English | 2001 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 0773521747, 0773533923 | PDF | 30,5 mb An innovative way of looking at photographic albums as an extension of oral tradition.  Michael B. Gilbert, "Surviving Adolescence: Helping Teens Endure the Roller-Coaster Ride" English | ISBN: 147585725X | 2021 | 160 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Surviving Adolescence was written because the most trying times in a child's life are during pre-teen and teen years. Most parents and teachers may be ill equipped to deal effectively with adolescents. They are not prepared for the remarkable changes that occur. The remarkable physical changes are most noticeable, but the intellectual, social and emotional changes can confound us. The book follows the roller coaster ride all can experience: Ratcheting Up, the First Drop, Loop-de-Loop, Climbing, the Steep Drop, In the Tunnel, Into the Daylight, and Leveling Off. The ideas cover preparing for adolescence, the reality of confronting puberty, the family unit, and how to help teens confront a new social environment, including cyberspace. Additional areas are recognizing the need for productive activities, discussing burgeoning sexual issues, bullying and substance abuse. Suggestions for communicating effectively and taking care of yourself are included, too. While the book is designed for a broad audience, each chapter concludes with educational considerations.
