Addressing Bias in Information Retrieval
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032241448 | 86 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.4 MB
Online search engines are an essential tool for seeking information, but results returned from these search engines can contain undesirable forms of bias with respect to protected attributes such as gender or race. These biases can exist due to the word embeddings used by search engines, the design of re-ranking algorithms, the development of retrieval algorithms, or a variety of other reasons. Classical information retrieval (IR) methods, such as query recommendation or query expansion, were designed to produce the most relevant results. However, if such biases are present in the system, then these methods will also deliver biased results.

Additive Manufacturing of Metals: Technology, Materials, Design, Production, and Supply Chain
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032049601 | 285 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 116 MB
This new edition of Additive Manufacturing of Metals offers a unique guide to the three-dimensional (3D) printing of metals. It covers various aspects of additive, subtractive, and joining processes used to form three-dimensional parts with applications ranging from prototyping to production.

Additive Manufacturing Handbook: Product Development for the Defense Industry
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032883618 | 822 Pages | PDF (True) | 87 MB
Interest in additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, is rapidly growing both in theory and practice. Engineers and engineering firms are increasingly turning to 3D printing to create prototypes of products before proceeding with full-scale production. In academic environments, professors, researchers, and students are leveraging the capabilities of 3D printing to enhance project outcomes. This newly revised handbook is specifically tailored to focus on product design within the defense industry, a sector that significantly influences a wide range of other industries.

Acoustic Analyses Using Matlab® and Ansys®
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1482223252 | 889 Pages | EPUB (True) | 13 MB
This book describes the use of ANSYS finite element analysis software and MATLAB to solve acoustic problems. These range from simple textbook problems, to complex ones that can only be solved using FEA software. The book includes instructions on relevant mathematical modelling, and hints on the use of ANSYS software. The MATLAB source code provides readers with valuable tools for doing their own validations, and is available for download. The book provides practical training in the use of FEA for basic modelling and solving acoustic problems.

Accounting Measurement and Economic Value
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819818842 | 315 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
Accounting Measurement and Economic Value presents a rigorous foundation for economic value grounded in the representational theory of measurement and accounting practice. Bridging accounting, economics, and the philosophy of science, the book argues that empirical progress in economics is impeded by the lack of a clear and effective method for measuring economic value. It provides a formal measurement system based on observable accounting procedures - focusing on activity costs, prices, and quantities - that enables falsifiable economic hypotheses and replicable empirical testing.

Accelerating Graph Algorithms
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819557461 | 166 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
Graph processing, especially the processing of large-scale graphs with the number of vertices and edges in the order of billions or even hundreds of billions, has attracted much attention in both industry and academia. However, it remains a great challenge to process such large-scale graphs on memory limited accelerators. This book tries to introduce some recent techniques to unleash the power of parallel computing by using recent hardware accelerators like GPU/FPGA.

AbstractSwarm Multi-Agent Modeling and Simulation: 20 Years of Logistics with Agents and Stations
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819591317 | 88 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 7 MB
This book brings together the content that has been created over the past years in the context of AbstractSwarm. AbstractSwarm is a Multi-Agent Modeling and Simulation System for Logistics (and similar) scenarios. The main idea of the system is the strict separation of the scenario modeling ("what to do") and the agent behavior ("how to do it"). This results in a system where agents can in principle be put into arbitrary scenarios for improving the underlying processes. As a consequence, generic agent implementations are needed to cooperate in different kinds of scenarios. This small book is planned on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of AbstractSwarm for 2026 by the organization committee of the AbstractSwarm Multi-Agent Logistics Competition.

Ab-initio Assisted Petrology
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032256577 | 209 Pages | PDF (True) | 13 MB
This book provides a promotional exercise to foster the application of quantum mechanics to petrology. It addresses long-standing discrepancies in high-pressure melting data and provides a full appraisal of anharmonicity, essential for computing heat capacities, Gibbs free energy, and energy landscapes. Unlike empirical models, quantum-mechanical simulations deliver first-principles accuracy for complex systems, from pure oxides to quaternary compositions, using advanced mathematical tools like Delaunay Fragmentation and Convex Hull Analysis.
