The Practice of Reproducible Research

Группа авторов

The Practice of Reproducible Research presents concrete examples of how researchers in the data-intensive sciences are working to improve the reproducibility of their research projects. In each of the thirty-one case studies in this volume, the author or team describes the workflow that they used to complete a real-world research project. Authors highlight how they utilized particular tools, ideas, and practices to support reproducibility, emphasizing the very practical how, rather than the why or what, of conducting reproducible research.   Part 1 provides an accessible introduction to reproducible research, a basic reproducible research project template, and a synthesis of lessons learned from across the thirty-one case studies. Parts 2 and 3 focus on the case studies themselves. The Practice of Reproducible Research is an invaluable resource for students and researchers who wish to better understand the practice of data-intensive sciences and learn how to make their own research more reproducible.

Solar Energy Applications

Группа авторов

This first volume in the new ASME Press Book Series on Renewable Energy is based on updated chapters from the classic 2011 Handbook of Energy and Power Generation, also edited by Dr. Rao and published by ASME Press. The discussions in this book cover varied aspects of solar energy in use around the globe. Chapters 1 through 6, deal with Solar Energy in over 200 pages addressed by 15 experts from academia, NASA, and practicing professionals from the U.S., Europe, China, and India. Global interest in solar energy is apparent not only from the current usage but also from the untapped resources and its potential for greater usage.

Oilwell Drilling Engineering

Don W. Dareing

The book starts with optimum drilling practices, which provide the highest rate of penetration (ROP) at minimum footage cost ($/ft). While these factors are commonly acknowledged in the drilling community, they need to be underscored in any drilling text, especially for those entering the science of drilling and production. These fundamental elements of drilling provide the foundation for more detailed analyses throughout the book. Special features of the book are comprehensive presentation of: 1) Drilling hydraulics, 2) Drillstring mechanics including vibration control, 3) Drilling economics, 4) Maintenance and reliability, and 5) Directional drilling including bit navigation, well path monitoring and directional control. Each of these elements are explained through basic engineering mechanics. Discussions are presented with scientific rigor, but in a form easily understood by undergraduate engineering students. This book is suitable as both a university text and as an industry reference guide.

1,001 Questions & Answers for the CWI Exam

David Ramon Quinonez

AWS (The American Welding Society) is the worldwide leader in certification programs for the welding industry.  Since the CWI (Certified Welding Inspectors) program inception in 1976, AWS has certified more than 100,000 welding inspectors alone, plus thousands more working professionals across other certification categories. AWS conducts exams in locations around the world, including 550 U.S. sites and 40 countries each year.   Many candidates mistakenly assume their field experience is enough to obtain certification, only to end up frustrated when they fail to pass their exam. Certification exams are intentionally comprehensive to ensure the welding industry the high-quality personnel needed to handle these complex roles.  The process requires almost everyone to prepare to some extent – even those with years of experience:How much preparation? It depends upon your current skills and knowledge.Are the rewards worth it? The rewards are often worth the time you invest: certification can boost your earnings significantly and expand your career opportunities.   While there are a few books that can be purchased from the AWS and outside sources on the CWI exam, there are no publications dedicated to helping CWI candidates pass the exam. This title was written for that express purpose.   This work is a comprehensive collection of preparatory exam questions and answers for welders, inspectors, students, or anyone interested in the welding metallurgical field.  The work boasts appendices that include tables, formulas, lists of organizations and major corporations employing welders and inspectors.

Material removal operations are among the most expensive; in the U.S. alone, more than $100 billion were spent on machining in 1999. These high costs put tremendous economic pressures on production managers and engineers as they struggle to find ways to increase productivity.Machining recommendations provided in this book cover turning since it allows removing more material per unit of time and consuming more power at the roughing operations than end milling, boring or drilling. Machining recommendations relate to cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Such recommendations depend on the workpiece material properties and the cutting tool material. Workpiece materials described in this book are the most commonly used grades of carbon, alloy, stainless, tool, and maraging steels. Cutting tool materials are cemented carbides, cermets, and ceramics.

Mechatronics

Professor Bogdan Fijalkowski

In order to compete in a modern global market, companies rely on mechatronics, or the fusion of several engineering and scientific disciplines from across mechanical, computer and electrical engineering in developing innovative products and systems. Mechatronics offers new solutions and unprecedented flexibility in developing and understanding transportation systems, industrial production processes, and design and manufacturing of components. The successful application of mechatronics requires an understanding of the underlying constituent disciplines.
This book focusses on exploiting a dynamical systems approach and theory of holors in mechatronics for modelling and characterization of various dynamical systems. Written as an introductory textbook for advanced students, it can be used by teachers and students both in lessons and independently. It includes subject knowledge and pedagogical support for teachers of mechatronics. This title will also be an essential reference for practising scientists and engineers working in the field of mechatronics.

Low Frequency Waves and Turbulence in Magnetized Laboratory Plasmas and in the Ionosphere

Professor Hans Pécseli

Low Frequency Waves and Turbulence in Magnetized Laboratory Plasmas and in the Ionosphere was developed from courses taught by the author at the universities of Oslo and Tromsø in Norway. Suitable for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers, the first part of the book is devoted to discussing some relevant plasma instabilities and the free energy that drives them. In the second part, the more advanced topics of nonlinear models and the interactions of many modes are discussed. Theoretical tools available for turbulence modelling are also outlined. The book summarizes a number of studies of low-frequency plasma waves, drift waves in particular, from laboratory and space experiments.
