This book reviews math topics relevant to non-mathematics students and scientists, but which they may not have seen or studied for a while. These math issues can range from reading mathematical symbols, to using complex numbers, dealing with equations involved in calculating medication equivalents, the General Linear Model (GLM) used in e.g. neuroimaging analysis, finding the minimum of a function, independent component analysis, or filtering approaches. Almost every student or scientist, will at some point run into mathematical formulas or ideas in scientific papers that may be hard to understand, given that formal math education may be some years ago. In this book we will explain the theory behind many of these mathematical ideas and expressions and provide readers with the tools to better understand them. We will revisit high school mathematics and extend and relate this to the mathematics you need to understand the math you may encounter in the course of your research. This book will help you understand the math and formulas in the scientific papers you read. To achieve this goal, each chapter mixes theory with practical pen-and-paper exercises such that you (re)gain experience with solving math problems yourself. Mnemonics will be taught whenever possible. To clarify the math and help readers apply it, each chapter provides real-world and scientific examples.In this new edition, two new chapters covering statistics and differential equations have been added, which have been workshopped in the 'authors' popular lecture series in order to maximize the benefit for readers.

Experimental study carried out in Barrancabermeja, Colombia, with the purpose of gradually integrating new clean energies to our life system. It starts from a general context to a particular one, interacting with formulas, tables and diagrams that allow us to know exactly the progress of the project. The story begins in an automotive mechanics workshop where I made my productive stage and where I could have the necessary tools for the development of the Hydrogen Cell and enter into this wonderful world.

The target audience for this project is rural dwellers, as they are the main people affected by the absence of this resource. The aim of this work is to obtain totally renewable energy for general domestic use in appliances that consume little electricity, light and heat water in homes. As a proposed innovation, the aim is to adapt a heat exchanger tank to the wood-burning cooker itself. Filled with water, the tank heats it to a certain temperature, generating energy in the form of steam, which serves as fuel for a Stirling engine attached to the cooker. The mechanical energy produced by the engine is converted by a converter motor into electrical energy. It also structures a water heating system for the house by installing a coil and boiler system.

This book is the accumulation of many years of research into practices and approaches used in the new connected world. Specifically, it focuses on the role that sensors play in our lives by changing business models and how the valuable data created, are being utilized by us and monetized by the businesses.Did you know that since the early 80s, we have adopted new advanced technology and products about 100x faster than the industrial revolution? There are three major reasons why: First, the exponential population growth to 9 billion by 2025 will keep driving demand for goods. Second, products are becoming intelligent and connected to the Internet. Product-generated data, which is in massive amounts, is collected on databases, and the insights generated by these are then analyzed, shared, and socialized. The number of Internet-connected devices is forecasted to be 75 billion by the year 2022 worldwide. This is about eight times the human population in the same year (8 devices/person on average). By 2025, this number is predicted to exceed 500 billion units of connected devices, which will be about 55 times larger than the world's population (9.1 billion), representing another exponential growth

Bamboo and eucalyptus are important forest resources. Giant bamboo slats obtained through the turning process are wide, thin, continuous and constitute an excellent standardised industrial material that can be used to coat and reinforce wood and lignocellulosic panels, as well as providing an excellent surface finish. Manufacturing techniques and mechanical tests used to produce and characterise eucalyptus sawn panels coated with bamboo veneers are shown.The use of laminated bamboo in sawn panels promotes mechanical reinforcement and a change in the behaviour of these panels from abrupt breakage to more predictable and ductile breakage, making the panel more reliable and suitable for use. This is a book of interest to students and professionals in mechanical, civil and forestry engineering, as well as all those who study the world of bamboo, the potential of this plant and its many applications.

In practical applications related to machining a workpiece, the resonance frequency is always an important parameter and must be taken into account. The removal of material is inherent to the entire machining process, so variations in the mass of the workpiece exist. In addition, as part geometry changes, variations in stiffness in a given direction are also present. These two parameters determine the natural frequency of an object and, together with the damping factor, also determine the resonance frequency. In a milling process with tool rotation at constant speed, excitation values close to the resonance frequency of the workpiece (which is always changing as material is removed) can be reached at different times. This condition should be avoided, since a workpiece excited at its resonance frequency tends to reach large vibration amplitudes, which can be catastrophic for the process, resulting in a poor surface finish and, in more critical situations, catastrophic machine and tool failures. In order to avoid excitations under these conditions, numerical simulation is a valid process for predicting the frequencies of vibration.

The aim of the project in question is to develop a portable torsion test bench that is versatile, robust, meets a wide torque range and guarantees operational safety. Its application is in periodic checks where there is a need to monitor and control tightening variables, as well as in corrective and preventive maintenance of tightening tools. Initially, a study was carried out on the assembly processes of bolted joints and their applications in industry, then the concepts of maintenance and reliability of a tightening tool were studied, followed by data analysis with the aim of reducing the costs resulting from failures in tightening tools, increasing productivity and the useful life of the equipment, which can only be achieved through proper maintenance with reliable and practical equipment that is capable of assisting in testing and collecting torques.

This text helps readers to build a solid understanding of the key concepts in the management and operation of supply chains involving chilling, refrigeration or freezing. Emphasis is placed on environmental-particularly temperature-control as important in avoiding irreversible damage to product quality and safety and the resulting loss of profit and consumer confidence. The authors explain the important issues arising within the supply chain of perishable goods from production to consumption: topics that include planning and design, instrumentation and methods of implementation, and process monitoring and control.Reminding the student that cold supply chains are essential for the supply of products more various than foods, product-specific studies and examples are included for handling bananas and vaccines. The importance of product traceability and automation are highlighted.Cold Chain Management is a self-contained guide for graduate and final-year undergraduate students specializing in the study of supply chains, and their instructors. Researchers interested in logistics will find this book instructive when they wish to consider the particular problems associated with cold chains and anyone looking to begin a business in which refrigeration or freezing will be necessary will be well-served by reading this text.
