In contrast to many academic textbooks dealing with technological risks, this book has a unique interdisciplinary character that presents technological risks in their own context.Twenty-four scientists have come together to present their views on risks in technological systems.
Companies are being forced to process and manage increasingly differentiated products with shorter life cycles, low volumes and reduced customer delivery times. This book introduces an original and integrated idea of maintenance: maintenance for productivity.
This book offers a complete overview of fault-tolerant flight control techniques. Discussion covers the necessary equations for the modeling of small UAVs, a complete system based on extended Kalman filters, and a nonlinear flight control and guidance system.
Aims and Scope This book is both an introductory textbook and a research monograph on modeling the statistical structure... Læs mere
One of the main limitations of the precursors of today’s biometrics, which is still present in the vast majority of the existing biometric systems, has been the need to keep the device in close contact with the subject to capture the biometric measurements.
Geometric algebra is still treated as an obscure branch of algebra and most books have been written by competent mathematicians in a very abstract style.
Tensor signal processing is an emerging field with important applications to computer vision and image processing. This book presents the state of the art in this new branch of signal processing, offering a great deal of research and discussions by leading experts in the area.
“Biofuels for Road Transport: A Seed to Wheel Perspective” provides a review of the history, the current status and perspectives for biofuels used in road transport, across the full ‘seed-to-wheel’ life cycle of these fuels.
