Sustainable Machining Strategies for Better Performance
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811622779 | 242 Pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book presents select proceedings of the National Conference on Sustainable Machining Strategies for Better Performance (SMSBP 2020). It examines a range of machining strategies that helps to improve sustainability in machining processes. The focus is to improve competition, reduce costs, comply with environmental regulations and address environmental concerns. The topics covered include machining of difficult-to-machine materials, developments in new cutting tool materials, modern cooling methods, use of advanced machining technologies, lubrication strategies like MQL, cryogenic cooling, use of cold compressed air, adoption of hybrid cooling strategies, hybrid machining strategies, machining of special materials including elastomers and surface integrity studies in use of cryogenic machining. The book presents the latest research developments in the domain of sustainable machining which can improve the machining practice adopted by researchers, professionals and industries. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers, professionals and people from machining and material-related industries who are interested in adopting sustainable machining strategies.
Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 52
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030732444 | 459 Pages | PDF | 11 MB
This book presents advanced knowledge and techniques to improve food quality, such as organic farming, fertilization using waste, reducing arsenic in food, soil restoration, forage production in arid regions and weed control. Agriculture is actually facing two major challenges, feeding an ever-growing population and providing safe food in the context of pollution, climate change and the future circular economy.

Strict Finitism and the Logic of Mathematical Applications by Feng Ye
English | EPUB | 2011 | 279 Pages | ISBN : 9400713460 | 6.1 MB
This book intends to show that radical naturalism (or physicalism), nominalism and strict finitism account for the applications of classical mathematics in current scientific theories. The applied mathematical theories developed in the book include the basics of calculus, metric space theory, complex analysis, Lebesgue integration, Hilbert spaces, and semi-Riemann geometry (sufficient for the applications in classical quantum mechanics and general relativity).
Stress Testing the USA: Public Policy and Reaction to Disaster Events by John Rennie Short
English | EPUB | 2021 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 3030659984 | 0.3 MB
Stress tests highlight a system's weak spots. This second edition provides a stress testing of the United States by exploring in detail the background to the disasters of the War on Terror, Hurricane Katrina, the financial crisis, the Gulf oil spill and the COVID-19 epidemic. These major stresses-the country's longest war, its biggest natural disaster, its biggest financial collapse since the Great Depression, its biggest oil spill and its worst pandemic since the influenza pandemic of 1918-tell us much about structural flaws in the United States.
Sparse Estimation with Math and R: 100 Exercises for Building Logic
English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811614458 | 241 Pages | PDF EPUB | 70 MB
The most crucial ability for machine learning and data science is mathematical logic for grasping their essence rather than knowledge and experience. This textbook approaches the essence of sparse estimation by considering math problems and building R programs.
South African Urban Change Three Decades After Apartheid: Homes Still Apart? by Anthony Lemon
English | EPUB | 2021 | 255 Pages | ISBN : 3030730727 | 24.8 MB
This book provides an analysis of South African urban change over the past three decades. It draws on a seminal text, Homes Apart, and revisits conclusions drawn in that collection that marked the final phases of urban apartheid.

Social Capital and Collective Action in Pakistani Rural Development by Shaheen Rafi Khan
English | EPUB | 2021 | 301 Pages | ISBN : 3030714497 | 7.3 MB
This book distinguishes conceptually between indigenous and constructed social capital and the associated spontaneous and induced collective action for rural development and natural resource preservation. While some of the case studies in this book show that induced collective action can lead to cost-effective, community-centric and empirically grounded rural development initiatives, other case studies show that spontaneous collective action, based on indigenous social capital, can result in resource preservation, positive development outcomes, and resistance to the excesses engendered by conventional development.
