This book conceptualizes supply chain collaboration as seven interconnecting elements including information sharing, incentive alignment, goal congruence, decision synchronization, resource sharing, as well as communication and joint knowledge creation.
Monte Carlo simulation is one of the best tools for performing realistic analysis of complex systems as it allows most of the limiting assumptions on system behavior to be relaxed.
This book provides a logical sequence of steps for the derivation of relevant equations for automotive cam mechanisms. Originally derived for use in high performance engines, other applications include production autos, and printing and packaging machinery.
This book covers the use of recycled industrial waste as aggregates in concrete, reviewing properties of aggregates and offering procedures for estimating the properties of concrete containing construction and demolition waste in light of codes and practices.
Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is a combination of computer graphics and computer vision that produces renderings in various artistic, expressive or stylized ways such as painting and drawing.

Quad Rotorcraft Control develops original control methods for the navigation and hovering flight of an autonomous mini-quad-rotor robotic helicopter.
Providing up-to-date numerical data across a range of topics related to renewable energy technologies, Renewable Energies and CO2 offers a one-stop source of key information to engineers, economists and all other professionals working in the energy and climate change sectors.
This book presents an Orchestra model that attempts to articulate technology, organizations and people. It examines technological and philosophical concepts that managers, technicians and all those interested in the design of artifacts need to consider.
This book explains the underlying physical mechanisms of flow-induced pulsation and vibration, and their possible effects. Discusses links between state-of the-art CFD computation and notorious practical problems, and offers data on normal vibration levels.
