Porous Polymers by Michael S. Silverstein, Neil R. Cameron, Marc A. Hillmyer
Language: English | 2011 | ISBN: 0470390840 | 472 pages | PDF | 40,4 MB
This book gathers the various aspects of the porous polymer field into one volume. It not only presents a fundamental description of the field, but also describes the state of the art for such materials and provides a glimpse into the future. Emphasizing a different aspect of the ongoing research and development in porous polymers, the book is divided into three sections: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications. The first part of each chapter presents the basic scientific and engineering principles underlying the topic, while the second part presents the state of the art results based on those principles. In this fashion, the book connects and integrates topics from seemingly disparate fields, each of which embodies different aspects inherent in the diverse field of porous polymeric materials.

Poisson Point Processes: Imaging, Tracking, and Sensing by Roy L. Streit
Language: English | 2010 | ISBN: 1441969225 | 273 pages | PDF | 3,1 MB
"Poisson Point Processes provides an overview of non-homogeneous and multidimensional Poisson point processes and their numerous applications. Readers will find constructive mathematical tools and applications ranging from emission and transmission computed tomography to multiple target tracking and distributed sensor detection, written from an engineering perspective. A valuable discussion of the basic properties of finite random sets is included. Maximum likelihood estimation techniques are discussed for several parametric forms of the intensity function, including Gaussian sums, together with their Cramer-Rao bounds. These methods are then used to investigate: -Several medical imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and transmission tomography (CT scans) -Various multi-target and multi-sensor tracking applications, -Practical applications in areas like distributed sensing and detection, -Related finite point processes such as marked processes, hard core processes, cluster processes, and doubly stochastic processes, Perfect for researchers, engineers and graduate students working in electrical engineering and computer science, Poisson Point Processes will prove to be an extremely valuable volume for those seeking insight into the nature of these processes and their diverse applications.

Plant Systematics: An Integrated Approach, Third Edition by G Singh
Language: English | 2010 | ISBN: 157808668X | 756 pages | PDF | 17,3 MB
The focus of the present edition has been to further consolidate the information on the principles of plant systematic, include detailed discussion on all major systems of classification, and significantly, also include discussion on the selected families of vascular plants, without sacrificing the discussion on basic principles. The families included for discussion are largely those which have wide representation, as also those that are less known but significant in evaluating the phylogeny of angiosperms. The discussion of the families also has a considerable focus on their phylogenetic relationships, as evidenced by recent cladistic studies, with liberal citation of molecular data. Several additional families have been included for detailed discussion in the present volume.

Pipe Stress Engineering by Liang-Chuan Peng, Tsen-Loong Peng
Language: English | 2009 | ISBN: 079180285X | 500 pages | PDF | 41,5 MB
Practical reference book on piping engineering and stress analysis. This book emphasizes three main concepts: using engineering common sense to foresee a potential piping stress problem, performing the stress analysis to confirm the problem, and lastly, optimizing the design to solve the problem. The book is ideal for piping engineers, piping designers, plant engineers, and mechanical engineers working in the power, petroleum refining, chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.

Picture Yourself Creating Metal Clay Jewlery by Tammy Powley
Language: English | 2008 | ISBN: 1598635069 | 280 pages | PDF | 15,2 MB
Unlock the secrets of creating your very own metal clay components and unique finished creations with "Picture Yourself Creating Metal Clay Jewelry: Step-by-Step Instruction for Forming, Firing, and Constructing Finished Jewelry." This book provides you with all the tools, techniques, and information you need to produceone-of-a-kind metal clay necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more at home. After a brief introduction to the basics of metal clay, you'll learn about all of the tools and supplies you'll need to gather together, such as files, wire cutters, craft knives, and polishing cloths. You'll also spend some time examining the available firing equipmentand techniques with a focus on low-fire clays, which only require an inexpensive hand-held butane torch or hot-pot. Once you have the metal clay tools together, the book will show you how to set up a safe, clean work area where you can create your jewelry components and finished pieces. You are now ready to roll, cut, fire, and finish your metal clay into usable beads, charms, and more. Information on basic jewelry making techniques and findings will help you put it all together as you get ready tocreate your own metal clay jewelry following the 14 projects plus additional project variations included in the book. All skills and techniques are taught using clear, step-by-step instructions illustrated by full-color photographs. A full-color gallery of finished pieces by metal clay artists will provide ideas and inspiration, while a helpful list ofvendors will help you find the supplies you need. And the accompanying DVD includes videos that offer directions for 2 bonus projects not taught in the book! "Picture Yourself Creating Metal Clay Jewelry" shows aspiring jewelry designers how to make distinctive, wearable works of art, from concept to completion.
