From Buttons to Conversations: A Revolution in User Experience
English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GPGXWFHG | 143 Pages | EPUB | 6.5 MB
Large language models are fundamentally reshaping user expectations from conversational interfaces to intelligent automation. Gone are the days of only buttons and forms. But how do we design UX that harnesses this power effectively? Part of this change isn't just layering in conversational experiences into our user interfaces, but rethinking user interfaces completely. In the future, users will expect to interact with software using conversations, either text or voice. Making this change will require an understanding of user interface changes as well as an understanding of the technology required to make this change. As a product designer, you must understand the new features enabled by Large Language Models along with using Agent, LLMs, and Workflow orchestration to create these experiences. Understanding the landscape of possibilities is important going forward for any product designer or innovator.

Friction and Wear in Footwear
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819213029 | 202 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 67 MB
At the convergence of biomechanics, tribology, and safety engineering, this book 'Friction and Wear in Footwear' explores how friction and wear jointly govern footwear performance, safety, and durability. Addressing slips and falls, one of the leading causes of injuries worldwide, this book highlights wear as a critical, time-dependent factor that alters frictional behavior and increases slip risk over a footwear's lifecycle. The book examines outsole degradation, tread pattern evolution, and material fatigue, focusing on how wear progressively reduces traction. It integrates experimental and computational approaches, including studies on worn footwear, coefficient of friction measurements, biofidelic and robotic slip testing devices, and advanced simulation frameworks. These insights are applied to healthcare, occupational safety, and performance footwear design, emphasizing the need for wear-based evaluation and innovation. This book covers slips and falls, gait biomechanics, advanced slip testing technologies, outsole tread modifications, and frameworks for assessing worn footwear friction. It concludes with emerging trends focused on designing for wear resilience and long-term safety. This book is essential for footwear designers, engineers, ergonomists, and researchers aiming to develop safer, durable, and performance-optimized footwear solutions.

Fractional Calculus: Models and Numerical Methods
English | 2012 | ISBN: 9814355208 | 426 Pages | PDF (True) | 3.5 MB
The subject of fractional calculus and its applications (that is, convolution-type pseudo-differential operators including integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order) has gained considerable popularity and importance during the past three decades or so, mainly due to its applications in diverse fields of science and engineering. These operators have been used to model problems with anomalous dynamics, however, they also are an effective tool as filters and controllers, and they can be applied to write complicated functions in terms of fractional integrals or derivatives of elementary functions, and so on.

Fossil Free: Reimagining Clean Energy in a Carbon-Constrained World
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9390327008 | 316 Pages | EPUB (True) | 2 MB
The current global energy use, with its overwhelming dependence on fossil fuels, has taken global warming to dangerous levels. Climate change is already hitting us hard, through adverse effects on global food availability, biodiversity, rising sea levels and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and floods. In the last decade, a major transformation-the transition to clean, affordable and sustainable energy from the sun and the wind-is beginning to address these challenges. Fossil Free provides a concise introduction to the challenges, realities and complexities of the global and local energy industry, as well as the trends and forces driving the energy transition. It explains how improved electricity infrastructure, decentralized smart grids, electric vehicles, energy storage and market design are already providing clear pathways for the transition towards green, efficient, affordable and secure renewable energy across the energy-use chain: extraction, conversion, transmission, distribution and end use. For over a decade, Sumant Sinha has had a ringside view of the energy scenario. Having founded and helmed India's leading clean energy company, his understanding of the global energy landscape and climate change brings a unique, holistic perspective on energy. With Fossil Free, Sinha shares his vision for energy which is not only clean, but also practical and affordable.
