Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonprofit organizations are suffering from the continuing economic downturn. Donations are decreasing while demand for services is growing, forcing these organizations to be increasingly efficient and effective with their funds. This book introduces the reader to the basic concepts of project management. It provides approaches and templates to help nonprofit managers quickly implement practices to help them manage their limited resources, both financial and volunteer. The book also provides a tool to help the project team determine which practices are most appropriate. The book explores how social media and other technology tools can be used to assist in the management of time-sensitive projects and shows how project portfolio management can be a tool to assist in communications with boards of directors and other governing entities. The project portfolio is a tool that development office managers can easily implement and adopt to facilitate resource assignment. Finally, the book offers three case studies of nonprofit projects that went awry and shows how project management would have assisted.

Download or read book Differential Quadrature and Its Application in Engineering written by Chang Shu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-01-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, the differential quadrature method has been applied extensively in engineering. This book, aimed primarily at practising engineers, scientists and graduate students, gives a systematic description of the mathematical fundamentals of differential quadrature and its detailed implementation in solving Helmholtz problems and problems of flow, structure and vibration. Differential quadrature provides a global approach to numerical discretization, which approximates the derivatives by a linear weighted sum of all the functional values in the whole domain. Following the analysis of function approximation and the analysis of a linear vector space, it is shown in the book that the weighting coefficients of the polynomial-based, Fourier expansion-based, and exponential-based differential quadrature methods can be computed explicitly. It is also demonstrated that the polynomial-based differential quadrature method is equivalent to the highest-order finite difference scheme. Furthermore, the relationship between differential quadrature and conventional spectral collocation is analysed. The book contains material on: - Linear Vector Space Analysis and the Approximation of a Function; - Polynomial-, Fourier Expansion- and Exponential-based Differential Quadrature; - Differential Quadrature Weighting Coefficient Matrices; - Solution of Differential Quadrature-resultant Equations; - The Solution of Incompressible Navier-Stokes and Helmholtz Equations; - Structural and Vibrational Analysis Applications; - Generalized Integral Quadrature and its Application in the Solution of Boundary Layer Equations. Three FORTRAN programs for simulation of driven cavity flow, vibration analysis of plate and Helmholtz eigenvalue problems respectively, are appended. These sample programs should give the reader a better understanding of differential quadrature and can easily be modified to solve the readers own engineering problems.
Download or read book Transport Phenomena in Porous Media written by Derek B Ingham and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-09-07 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into thermal convection in porous media has substantially increased during recent years due to its numerous practical applications. These problems have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from many very diversified disciplines, such as applied mathematics, chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical and nuclear engineering, geothermal physics and food science. Thus, there is a wealth of information now available on convective processes in porous media and it is therefore appropriate and timely to undertake a new critical evaluation of this contemporary information. Transport Phenomena in Porous Media contains 17 chapters and represents the collective work of 27 of the world's leading experts, from 12 countries, in heat transfer in porous media. The recent intensive research in this area has substantially raised the expectations for numerous new practical applications and this makes the book a most timely addition to the existing literature. It includes recent major developments in both the fundamentals and applications, and provides valuable information to researchers dealing with practical problems in thermal convection in porous media. Each chapter of the book describes recent developments in the highly advanced analytical, numerical and experimental techniques which are currently being employed and discussions of possible future developments are provided. Such reviews not only result in the consolidation of the currently available information, but also facilitate the identification of new industrial applications and research topics which merit further work.

This book was released on 2023-04-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: s the rapid development of the world's economy brought serious environmental problems, the economy must accelerate industrial structure adjustment and development mode transformation to achieve sustainable development. A cleaner production mode based on cleaner technology is a crucial way to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection effectively. In essence, cleaner production is a kind of production mode in which the environmental strategy of overall prevention is adopted for the production process to reduce or eliminate their possible harm to human beings and the environment while fully meeting human needs and maximizing social and economic benefits. Fossil energy and renewable energy have promoted the development of many emerging industries, such as the automobile industry, aerospace technology, modern production and processing, and modern transportation industry, and preventing waste production while increasing efficiencies in the uses of energy is a crucial issue. Specific measures include: • Using clean energy and raw materials; • Adopting advanced technology and equipment; • Comprehensive utilization; • Reducing pollution from the source; • Improving utilization efficiency; • Reducing or avoiding the generation and emission of pollutants in the process of production. This Research Topic aims to report the most important and latest technological advances in cleaner treatment technologies of fossil energy (such as oil and natural gas) and renewable energy (such as hydrogen energy and geothermal energy) and serves as a platform for addressing and discussing theoretical and practical cleaner production.
