This book is designed to support a one-semester course in numerical methods. It has been written for students who want to learn and apply numerical methods in order to solve problems in engineering and science. As such, the methods are motivated by problems rather than by mathematics. That said, sufficient theory is provided so that students come away with insight into the techniques and their shortcomings.

In an age where UAVs are revolutionizing sectors as diverse as agriculture, environmental preservation, security, and disaster response, this meticulously crafted volume offers an analysis of the manifold ways machine learning drives advancements in UAV network efficiency and efficacy.

How can non-windy places make use of wind power for electricity generation? Advanced Wind Turbines provides detailed information that is of great practical importance to wind turbine practitioners from small and congested city-states, where the lack of vast land and high wind speed render the conventional wind turbine less effective.

Industry 5.0 represents a departure from previous industrial revolutions by prioritizing personalized and flexible production, empowering individuals to leverage advanced technologies to meet their unique needs. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and 3D printing, Industry 5.0 has the potential to address pressing societal challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation.

With its research-based approach and ample practical examples, this book is designed for advanced undergraduates, MBA students, and professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of digital market dynamics by offering a step-by-step guide on how to develop and launch digital innovations.

Systems today are orders of magnitude more complex than in the past, and their complexity is increasing exponentially. Preventing accidents and losses in such systems requires a holistic perspective that can accommodate unprecedented types of technology and design. This textbook teaches the foundations of classical safety engineering while incorporating the principles of systems thinking and systems theory.

In The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities , Kathrin Maurer shows how drone sensoria can change our understanding of human communities by constructing imaginaries of social communities based on decentralized and fluid sensing processes.

This book is about socially interactive robots and how they will transform friendship, work, home life, love, warfare, education, and nearly every nook and cranny of modern life. It is an exploration of how we, the most gregarious creatures in the food chain, could be changed by social robots. On the other hand, it questions how will we remain the same, and how will human nature express itself when confronted by a new class of beings created in our own image?

The purpose of this Standard is to provide an integrated set of fundamental processes to aid a developer in the engineering or reengineering of a system.
Use of this Standard is intended to help developers establish and evolve a complete and consistent set of requirements that will enable delivery of feasible and cost-effective system solutions; satisfy requirements within cost, schedule, and risk constraints; and provide a system, or any portion of a system, that satisfies stakeholders over the life of the products that make up the system.

IEC 61191-1:2018 prescribes requirements for materials, methods and verification criteria for producing quality soldered interconnections and assemblies using surface mount and related assembly technologies.
