Book excerpt: Space and Energy contains the proceedings of the 26th Congress of the International Astronautical Federation, held in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 21-27, 1975. The papers explore developments and trends of interest as well as research in space and energy. Topics covered range from engineering and life sciences to space systems, space technology, and communication satellites. This book is comprised of 16 chapters and begins with a discussion on the Earth as an open system and how to utilize solar energy. The next section is devoted to engineering and life sciences and includes chapters giving surveys and/or assessments of a number of basic topics in astrodynamics and bioastronautics. Propulsion system concepts for a single stage shuttle are also considered, along with the reliability of outer planet spacecraft and the contribution of biological satellites to space biology and medicine. Specific systems such as an experimental hybrid rocket are also described. The last part evaluates application satellites, with particular reference to communication and earth resource satellites. This monograph should be of interest to space scientists and engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Permettre de concevoir, développer et utiliser des systèmes de diagnostic, de surveillance et de maintenance prédictive pour systèmes complexes (avions, centrales nucléaires, transport, etc.), afin d'optimiser les performances de la sûreté de fonctionnement : tel est l'objectif de cet ouvrage. Pour cela Fiabilité, diagnostic et maintenance prédictive des systèmes s'appuie sur la modélisation des systèmes (parties commandes et opératives), l'évaluation probabiliste et déterministe du fonctionnement, et la conception de systèmes de surveillance. Cet ouvrage fait le lien entre le diagnostic, la maintenance et la fiabilité des systèmes techniques, du plus simple au plus complexe. Son approche novatrice et sa présentation en font un véritable guide théorique et pratique pour les ingénieurs qui pourront y trouver la réponse à de nombreux problèmes de diagnostic, de surveillance et de maintenance, en particulier grâce à l'analyse vibratoire. Très didactique et accompagné de plus de 100 exercices et problèmes résolus reflétant des situations concrètes, il présente les concepts de base pour concevoir et développer correctement des outils ou des systèmes de diagnostic et de maintenance conditionnelle (prédictive) indispensables aux ingénieurs ou aux élèves ingénieurs en génie industriel, génie mécanique, robotique ou sûreté de fonctionnement dans les domaines les plus variés.

Le message fondamental de ce livre n'est pas qu'il faut appliquer scrupuleusement les méthodes suggérées, mais que la création, la vérification et la révision de méthodes d'analyse pratiques et efficaces doivent être une priorité absolue pour les chercheurs qualitatifs. Ce livre intéressera tout particulièrement les professeurs, les étudiants de 3e cycle et les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales et en sciences de gestion.

Download or read book Qualitative Networks written by Elisa Bellotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we interact with people in our everyday life? Who are the people we are connected to? What are the consequences of overlapping social circles and how people deal with the potential emerging conflicts? What are the structural and cultural mechanisms that regulate social worlds? Network science is a scientific approach to the study of network dependencies and associations which tries to answer these and many other questions. This book explores the underlying mechanisms that regulate social life as they are produced, reproduced, modified, and abandoned in the spatial and temporal patterns of interactions. The mixed methods approach, that combines formal network analysis with qualitative materials and statistical tools, shows the importance of contextualising structural mechanisms in their social and cultural environment, and allows overcoming the traditional methodological boundaries that shape the field of social sciences.
