This book presents a comprehensive description of the physics of free-electron lasers starting from the fundamentals and proceeding through detailed derivations of the equations describing electron trajectories, and spontaneous and stimulated emission. Linear and nonlinear analyses are described, as are detailed explanations of the nonlinear simulation of a variety of configurations including amplifiers, oscillators, self-amplified spontaneous emission, high-gain harmonic generation, and optical klystrons. Theory and simulation are anchored using comprehensive comparisons with a wide variety of experiments.

This well-established handbook presents integral logistics management as the management of the flow of goods, data and control along the comprehensive life cycle of products and services in both classical and service industries. It offers a well-founded overview for managers, practitioners and advanced users. For the 6th edition, the content has been tightened and the following topics have been extended:the design of integrated offers of intangibles and tangibles goods in industrial product-service systemsthe integrated design of product, distribution, retail, service, and transportation networks for global location planningnew examples of frameworks, standards and indices to practically demonstrate the social and environmental performance in sustainable in supply chains.Other new sections deal with:the benefit of different types of cooperation between the R&D and engineering departments in companies with an "e;engineer-to-order"e; (ETO) production environmentthe suitability of scenario planning for long-term demand forecasting, if influence factors of the surrounding systems play a role in an unknown manner.Furthermore, each section now contains at the beginning its intended learning outcomes (ILO).The material covers most of the key terms in the five APICS CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory) modules as well as in the ASCM / APICS CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional) program.

This book gathers cutting-edge research and best practices relating to occupational risk and safety management, healthcare and ergonomics. It covers strategies for different industries, such as construction, chemical and healthcare. It emphasises challenges posed by automation, discusses solutions offered by technologies, and reports on case studies carried out in different countries. Chapters are based on selected contributions to the 18th International Symposium on Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SHO 2022), held on September 8-9, 2022, in Porto, Portugal. By reporting on different perspectives, such as the ones from managers, workers and OSH professionals, and covering timely issues, such as implications of telework ,issues related to gender inequality and applications of machine learning techniques in occupational health, this book offers extensive information and a source of inspiration to OSH researchers, practitioners and organizations operating in both local and global contexts.

Dieses Buch betont die grundlegenden Konzepte des CS-Algorithmus und seiner Varianten sowie deren Anwendung zur Lösung unterschiedlicher Optimierungsprobleme in medizinischen und ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Anwendungen. Evolutionäre metaheuristische Ansätze werden zunehmend zur Lösung komplexer Optimierungsprobleme in verschiedenen realen Anwendungen eingesetzt. Einer der erfolgreichsten Optimierungsalgorithmen ist die Cuckoo-Suche (CS), die zu einem aktiven Forschungsbereich geworden ist, um N-dimensionale und lineare/nichtlineare Optimierungsprobleme mithilfe einfacher mathematischer Prozesse zu lösen. CS hat die Aufmerksamkeit verschiedener Forscher auf sich gezogen, was zur Entstehung zahlreicher Varianten des grundlegenden CS mit verbesserten Leistungsmerkmalen seit 2019 geführt hat.

It will also be useful to students learning reliability engineering.The book brings readers up to date with how system reliability relates to the latest techniques of AI, big data, genetic algorithm, information theory, and multi-criteria decision making and points toward future developments in the subject.

With the variety of metal alloys available today, it is extremely important to have detailed knowledge of their mechanical properties so that there are no mistakes in their applications. Among these properties is hardenability, which is assessed using the Jominy Test, currently standardised by ASTM A255-10. This test provides graphical data in a curve called the Jominy Curve. The hardenability of a steel consists of its ability to transform into martensite, the microconstituent with the greatest mechanical strength capable of being formed in this alloy. The formation of martensite depends on the chemical composition and microstructure of the austenite for transformation outside the thermodynamic equilibrium conditions (cooling rate), exploiting this, during the Jominy test a variation in hardness is produced along the specimen. By means of statistical calculations, this software constructs the Jominy Curve graph from the input of data on the chemical composition of the alloy of the ferrous materials (steel) that are subjected to the test. It also offers a comparison between the calculated and experimental values and the generation of PDF reports.

Blockchain Driven Supply Chains and Enterprise Information Systems examines initiatives for blockchain implementation in supply chain management and the integration of blockchain technology with existing enterprise management applications. The authors aim to establish common ground to provide solutions and best practices in the supply chain field, while tackling the challenges faced when integrating blockchain in supply chain policy. Chapters address both design and implementation aspects of supply chain platforms and enterprise information systems, and provide real-world use cases and examples from industry that address the impacts of using blockchain in the modern supply chain. 

This book aims at sharing knowledge about the technological opportunities and the main research challenges regarding robotics for logistics in supermarkets and retail stores, from the perspectives of the end-users, logistic companies, technology providers, and robotic researchers. The authors have been involved into the H2020 project Robotics Enabling Fully Integrated Logistics Lines for Supermarkets (REFILLS), aimed at improving logistics in supermarkets thanks to mobile robotic systems in close and smart collaboration with humans. The readers will find a comprehensive analysis of the main logistic processes in retail stores with possible robotized solutions, involving mechanical design, perception, and control. These technologies have been validated in realistic environments, and some of them have been tested into real supermarkets. The book is intended for a broad academic and industrial readership, including operators in the field of logistics, distribution, and retail.
