Reliable and effective control systems are a critical component of safe and profitable operations across process industries. This book offers a collection of practices that guides you to control system migration success.
Covers various approaches used for modelling and simulation of different types optical sensors such as fibre optic, surface Plasmon resonance, Fabry-Perot interferometer, transmittance in the mid-infrared region, luminescence based devices, and more.
Engineers and technologists often operate from a worldview of 'ones and zeros.' This book provides an understanding of who, what, why, when, and how 'idea engineering' can transform an individual and a company to formulate and apply the best possibilities.
Technical topics in science and engineering always present challenges when it comes to conveying or arguing information in a clear and effective manner. This book was written to address that challenge, using time-proven techniques developed by the author for academic courses.

A guide to the basics of estimating construction costs for residential and light commercial building projects. It takes readers through five phases that lead to a successful estimate: initial assessment, work analysis, programming, costing and cost distribution and summarization.
Finite Element, Boundary Element, Finite Volume, and Finite Difference Analysis are all commonly used in nearly all engineering disciplines to simplify complex problems of geometry and change. But they all tend to oversimplify. This book deals with these disciplines.
