This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the selected papers of the first I.D.M.M.E. conference on 'Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering', held in Nantes from 15-17 April 1996. Its objective was to discuss the questions related to the definition of the optimal design and manufacturing processes and to their integration through coherent methodologies in adapted environments. The initiative of the Conference and the organization thereof, is mainly due to the efforts of the french PRIMECA group (Pool of Computer Resources for Mechanics) started eight years ago. We were able to attract the internationru community with the support of the International Institution for Production Engineering Research (C.I.R.P.). The conference brought together two hundred and fifty specialists from around the world. About ninety papers and twenty posters were presented covering three main topics : optimization and evaluation of the product design process, optimization and evaluation of the manufacturing systems and methodological aspects.
Download or read book Contemporary Criminological Issues written by Carolyn Côté-Lussier and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts. This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.

Download or read book On line Estimation and Adaptive Control of Bioreactors written by G. Bastin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with monitoring and control of biotechnological processes. Different methods are proposed which are based on the nonlinear structure of the process and do not require any a priori knowledge of the fermentation parameters. The theoretical stability and convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are analysed and their performances are illustrated by simulation results and, in many instances, by real life experiments. The concept of software sensors is introduced; these are algorithms based on the nonlinear model of the process and designed for on-line estimation of the biological variables and/or the fermentation parameters. In order to deal with process nonstationarities and parameter uncertainties, reference is made to adaptive estimation and control techniques.The book is the result of an intensive joint research effort by the authors during the last decade. It is intended as a graduate level text for students of bioengineering as well as a reference text for scientists and engineers involved in the design and optimization of bioprocesses.

Download or read book Semigroups for Delay Equations written by András Bátkai and published by A K Peters, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most physical, chemical, biological and economic phenomena it is quite natural to assume that the system not only depends on the present state but also on past occurrences. These circumstances are mathematically described by partial differential equations with delay. This book presents, in a systematic fashion, how delay equations can be studied in Lp-history spaces.Appendices offering supplementary information and a comprehensive index make this book an ideal introduction and research tool for mathematicians, chemists, biologists and economists.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage a été conçu comme un guide destiné à tous ceux qui ont à choisir, à évaluer puis à concevoir une solution professionnelle d'architecture client-serveur Internet-intranet. Les auteurs exposent d'abord les étapes qui conduisent les entreprises à utiliser Internet comme plate-forme d'applications et présentent les différentes architectures client-serveur qui peuvent être mises en œuvre. Puis ils détaillent le client-serveur HTML/Web en abordant les technologies de programmation de serveurs Web qui s'inscrivent dans ce type d'architecture. Ils décrivent enfin le client-serveur distribué autour des technologies de composants logiciels transportables (applets Java et ActiveX) et des solutions de distribution d'objets (Corba, DCOM, RMI) et concluent sur l'unification des architectures client-serveur avec les EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans).
