Alexander Graham Bell: Making Connections

Alexander Graham Bell: Making Connections
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0195099087
# ISBN-13: 978-0195099089
This extremely useful book concentrates more on Bell's work as an educator and inventor
than on his personal life. Two-to-three page inserts explain the various scientific principles
discussed in the main text. For example, Bell was intensely involved in teaching the deaf.
As this part of his life is discussed, an insert explains sound, speech, and hearing, and how
all three are intertwined. Glimpses of the man behind the scientist are given in a lively, yet
informative fashion. Black-and-white photos and reproductions enhance the presentation
and bring the personal details to life. Although there are many books on Bell available, this
one is a worthy addition to any collection.

Intelligent Systems and Signal Processing in Power Engineering

Abhisek Ukil, "Intelligent Systems and Signal Processing in Power Engineering (Power Systems)"
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 372 | 2007-11-16 | ISBN: 3540731695 | PDF | 9 MB
Power engineering has become a multidisciplinary field ranging from linear algebra, electronics, signal processing to artificial intelligence including recent trends like bio-inspired computation, lateral computing and so on. In this book, Ukil builds the bridge between these inter-disciplinary power engineering practices. The book looks into two major fields used in modern power systems: intelligent systems and the signal processing.
The intelligent systems section comprises of fuzzy logic, neural network and support vector machine. The author looks at relevant theories on the topics without assuming much particular background. Following the theoretical basics, he studies their applications in various problems in power engineering, like, load forecasting, phase balancing, or disturbance analysis. These application studies are of two types: full application studies explained like in-depth case-studies, and semi-developed application ideas with scope for further extension. This is followed by pointers to further research information.
In the second part, the book leads into the signal processing from the basics of the system theory, followed by fundamentals of different signal processing transforms with examples. A section follows about the sampling technique and the digital filters which are the ultimate processing tools. The theoretical basics are substantiated by some of the applications in power engineering, both in-depth and semi-developed as before. This also ends up with pointers to further research information.
'Intelligent Systems and Signal Processing in Power Engineering' is helpful for students, researchers and engineers, trying to solve power engineering problems using intelligent systems and signal processing, or seeking applications of intelligent systems and signal processing in power engineering.

Stochastic Modeling of Manufacturing Systems: Advances in Design, Performance Evaluation, and Control Issues

Stochastic Modeling of Manufacturing Systems
Springer | 2005-09-06 | ISBN: 3540265791 | 363 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB
Manufacturing systems rarely perform exactly as expected and predicted. Unexpected events, such as order changes, equipment failures and product defects, affect the performance of the system and complicate decision-making. This volume is devoted to the development of analytical methods aiming at responding to variability in a way that limits its corrupting effects on system performance.
The book includes fifteen novel chapters that mostly focus on the development and analysis of performance evaluation models of manufacturing systems using decomposition-based methods, Markovian and queuing analysis, simulation, and inventory control approaches. They are organized into four distinct sections to reflect their shared viewpoints: factory design, unreliable production lines, queuing network models, production planning and assembly.

A Living Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin Architects

John Rattenbury "A Living Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin Architects"
Publisher:Pomegranate Communications | Pages: 296 | 2000-09 | ISBN: 0764913662 | PDF | 80 Mb
Three hundred full-color illustrations and elucidating text showcase the work of the Taliesin Architects, a firm started by the students and coworkers of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright after his death in 1959. Guided by a desire to create buildings in harmony with nature; to make a positive contribution to the way people live; and to keep Wright's vision alive, this book offers an overview of Taliesin Architects' work of the past forty years and a succinct summary of his design principles.
"John Rattenbury worked and studied with Frank Lloyd Wright for eight years. Since he cofounded Taliesin Architects, he has designed more than two hundred architectural and planning projects. Rattenbury teaches design and professional practice at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture and lectures throughout the United States.
"296 pages, size: 10.5" square. 300 color photographs and drawings. Casebound book, with dust jacket. ISBN: 0-7649-1366-2."--© Pomegranate

Complex System Maintenance Handbook (Springer Series in Reliability Engineering)

Complex System Maintenance Handbook (Springer Series in Reliability Engineering)
Springer | 2008-04-18 | ISBN:1848000103 | 657 pages | PDF | 11,2 Mb
The efficient functioning of modern society depends on the smooth operation of many complex systems which provide products and services. These include transport systems, communication systems, utilities, manufacturing plants, processing plants, hospitals and banks. Such systems are unreliable in the sense that they degrade with age and/or usage and fail when they are no longer capable of delivering the products and services. When a complex system fails, the consequences can be dramatic. It can result in serious economic losses, affect humans and do serious damage to the environment. These failures can be controlled through preventive maintenance actions.
