This is a clear, rigorous and self-contained introduction to PDEs for a semester-based course on the topic. For the sake of smooth exposition, the book keeps the amount of applications to a minimum, focusing instead on the theoretical essentials and problem solving. The result is an agile compendium of theorems and methods - the ideal companion for any student tackling PDEs for the first time. Vladimir Tolstykh is a professor of mathematics at Istanbul Arel University. He works in group theory and model-theoretic algebra. Dr. Tolstykh received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Ural...

The three-volume graduate textbook set offers a complete coverage of theories and applications of images engineering. Methodologies of image processing, analysis and understanding are discussed in sequence to forge a systematic view while each volume can be tailored and used independently for graduate courses. Rich in examples and excises, it is an essential references for students and egineers in electrical engineering and computer science.

Starting from physical and electrochemical foundations, this textbook explains working principles of energy storage devices. After a history of galvanic cells, different types of primary, secondary and flow cells as well as fuel cells and supercapacitors are covered. An emphasis lies on the general setup and mechanisms behind those devices to enable easy understanding for students from all technical and natural science disciplines.

This book provides the methods, problems and tools necessary for process control engineering. This comprises process knowledge, sensor system technology, actuators, communication technology and logistics, as well as the design, construction, and operation of control systems. Beyond the traditional field of process engineering, the authors apply the same principles to biomedical processes, energy production and management of environmental issues.

This book presents several results on elliptic functions and Pi, using Jacobi’s triple product identity as a tool to show suprising connections between different topics within number theory such as theta functions, Eisenstein series, the Dedekind delta function, and Ramanujan’s work on Pi. The included exercises make it ideal for both classroom use and self-study.

This book provides a thorough guidance on maximizing the performance of utility systems in terms of sustainability. It covers general structure, typical components and efficiency trends, and applications such as top-level analysis for steam pricing and selection of processes for improved heat integration. Examples are provided to illustrate the discussed models and methods to give sufficient learning experience for the reader.

This book provides an excellent platform for understanding the chemical processes involved in food transformation. Starting with the examination of major food components, such as water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and minerals, the author further introduces the biochemistry of digestion and energy metabolism of food ingredients. The last section of the book is devoted to modern food technologies and their future perspectives.

The book describes how field-charges, split into isotopic pairs, can commute and identifies the group of transformations that governs this exchange between their states. Invariance under this group is defined as Hypersymmetry. The book develops the physical consequences of Hypersymmetry such as conserved property, quanta and mediating bosons of the interaction field. Since all this expands beyond the standard model, the work determines the energy limits of the applicability of Hypersymmetry and discusses, how to remove the unwanted mass of the predicted set of bosons. Finally, it presents how...

This textbook explains electricity generation in plain English so non-engineers can easily understand it. It also presents a framework to incorporate sustainability into international development projects in the energy sector. It uses examples from Africa to illustrate both sustainable and unsustainable energy development projects.

The first half of the book provides an introduction to general topology, with ample space given to exercises and carefully selected applications. The second half of the text includes topics in asymmetric topology, a field motivated by applications in computer science. Recurring themes include the interactions of topology with order theory and mathematics designed to model loss-of-resolution situations.
