Smart Materials for Environmental and Industrial Applications
As the planet changes quickly and radically, the need for advanced materials grows more urgent every day. Solutions that were created in the last century cannot be applied to contemporary challenges facing energy, water, communications, health, nutrition, and environmental management. To meet each of these variables, enhancements in material properties must be sought in order to invent new materials and improve the performance of existing materials. Smart Materials for Environmental and Industr...

Production to Order (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, #333)
by Nico Dellaert
In this book, production rules are studied for situations which share some important elements. The most important one is that the products are manufactured according to customer specifications and they will not be manufactured unless they have been ordered. Other elements are the set-ups on the machines, which make a clustering of orders necessary, the backlogging of late orders, a production process with one bottle-neck and a stochastic demand. The purpose is to find a simple production rule, w...
Handbook of Industrial Surfactants (Routledge Revivals)
by Ash Michael and Ash Irene
Originally published in 1993, over 16,000 tradename surface-active agents for industrial applications, manufactured worldwide, are contained in this edition. General-use surfactants, such as emulsifiers, wetting agents, foaming agents, detergents, dispersants, and solubilizers are included, as well as detergent raw materials, defoamers, and antifoaming agents. The types and quantities of surfactants available commercially are numerous and the difficulty in making choices between products may be...

Advanced Planning in Supply Chains (Management for Professionals)
by Hartmut Stadtler, Bernhard Fleischmann, Martin Grunow, Herbert Meyr, and Christopher Srie
Advanced Planning Systems (APS) are a key enabler of the supply chain management. However, APS are highly complex and difficult to comprehend. This book provides students with valuable insights into the capabilities of state-of-the-art APS and bridges the gap between theory (model building and solution algorithms), software implementation, and adaptation to a specific business case. Our business case - named Frutado - provides a unifying framework for illustrating the different planning tasks th...
Proceedings of the 15th Ifac World Congress (IFAC Proceedings Volumes)
by L. Basenez and J. A. De La Puenta
The 15th IFAC Congress attracted contributions from renowned scientists at top research institutions from around the world. Published in about 20 subject oriented volumes, the Proceedings contain all the plenary papers and full indexes. The Congress looked at new applications in industry and services, and considered their technological implications. It also analysed the social impact of control and automation in the new millennium, and acted as an example of how advanced information technologies...
Recent Advances In Stochastic Operations Research
Operations research uses quantitative models to analyze and predict the behavior of systems and to provide information for decision makers. Two key concepts in operations research are optimization and uncertainty. This volume consists of a collection of peer reviewed papers from the International Workshop on Recent Advances in Stochastic Operations Research (RASOR 2005), August 25-26, 2005, Canmore, Alberta, Canada. In particular, the book focusses on models in stochastic operations research, in...
Risk assessment and risk analysis are now firmly fixed in the engineer's lexicon. Every engineering project, contract, piece of equipment and design requires this discipline by law. Reliability is the other key element in the mix for smooth running engineering projects and operations. In the modern industrial era, economic factors have resulted in the construction and operation of larger and more complex process plant. Accidents at these types of plants have led to notorious incidents such as Fl...
