Analog Computing (De Gruyter Textbook)
Analog computing is one of the main pillars of Unconventional Computing. Almost forgotten for decades, we now see an ever-increasing interest in electronic analog computing because it offers a path to high-performance and highly energy-efficient computing. These characteristics are of great importance in a world where vast amounts of electric energy are consumed by today’s computer systems. Analog computing can deliver efficient solutions to many computing problems, ranging from general purpose analog computation to specialised systems like analog artificial neural networks.
The book “Analog Computing” has established itself over the past decade as the standard textbook on the subject and has been substantially extended in this second edition, which includes more than 300 additional bibliographical entries, and has been expanded in many areas to include much greater detail. These enhancements will confirm this book’s status as the leading work in the field. It covers the history of analog computing from the Antikythera Mechanism to recent electronic analog computers and uses a wide variety of worked examples to provide a comprehensive introduction to programming analog computers. It also describes hybrid computers, digital differential analysers, the simulation of analog computers, stochastic computers, and provides a comprehensive treatment of classic and current analog computer applications. The last chapter looks into the promising future of analog computing.

Technical Communication for Environmental Action (SUNY series, Studies in Technical Communication)
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the global community in the twenty-first century. With its position at the border of people, technology, science, and communication, technical communication has a significant role to play in helping to solve these complex environmental problems. This collection of essays engages scholars and practitioners in a conversation about how the field has contributed to pragmatic and democratic action to address climate change. Compared to most prior work-which offers theoretical perspectives of environmental communication-this collection explores the actual practice of international technical communicators who participate in government projects, corporate processes, nonprofit programs, and international agency work, demonstrating how technical communication theories such as participatory design, social justice, and ethics can help shape pragmatic environmental action.Read more

Technical Engineering Drawing Manual Following ISO and BSI standards – Volume 1: 100 fully worked drawing examples featuring Design for Manufacturing principles
We use real-life scenarios to show what happens in day-to-day product development. The book’s examples are driven by Design For Manufacturing (DfM), Systems Thinking, User-Centred Design, realistic tolerances and drawing annotations.This book gives every product designer, engineer, maker and manufacturer the skills to document, create and understand technical drawings: readers will benefit from this book regardless of their experience level.
The 100 examples apply to any industry: from robotics and medical devices to machinery and aerospace. We address outdated practices from old standards that have no place in modern times, but we still find them in most design offices.
Throughout the book, we use proven design workflows to help you develop mechanical systems cost-effectively, integrating ISO standards for technical annotation and document management. The workflows include document revision control, ISO and BS 8888: 2020 compliance, Bill of Materials (BOM), part dimensioning and tolerancing.
PROTONIUM dedicates its efforts to spreading manufacturing knowledge that conditions parts’ design and how they are made. We believe that by designing with DfM considerations and thorough technical documentation, engineering companies and manufacturers can reduce the iteration cycles, minimise the use of raw materials, reduce their carbon footprint and break into the market faster.
Introducing this book into a company’s training workflow will have several operational positive impacts:
• Engineering managers can bring consistent training by providing the engineers with the means to develop their design for manufacturing skills.
• Project managers will de-risk design deliverables and keep the project’s cost lower as designs are cost-effective to manufacture.
• Supply Chain professionals will get faster supplier quotes because designs are manufacturable.
• Designers will iterate less and deliver faster because their designs are developed in fewer iterations as the features can be manufactured.
• Companies will reduce development costs and increase quality in tandem with elevating the agility to react to market changes.Read more

An Introduction to Hydraulics of Fine Sediment Transport (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering Book 56)
This book expounds the hydraulics of fine sediment which is almost ubiquitously found in coastal and estuarine waters, and in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Although the basic subject may be categorized as applied marine physics in shallow waters, several physicochemical and biological effects on particulate transport have been addressed.
In this second edition most of the chapters have been substantially updated, rewritten, and expanded. Overall, a significant change has also been made throughout by replacing sediment concentration, a unit dependent quantity at the heart of numerous descriptions, measurements, and calculations, with the nondimensional sediment volume fraction. It marks a divergence in the manner in which fine sediment transport data and calculations are conventionally presented.
The book is mainly written for civil engineering seniors and graduate students, to offer a comprehensive foundation in hydraulics of fine sediment. The book is also a useful reference for researchers interested in the effects of physical chemistry and biology on fine sediment transport in water and to an extent on coastal and estuarine morphodynamics, sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics. The book is also recommended reading for those interested in understanding particle transport in water.

Ando. Complete Works 1975–Today. 2019 Edition
Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize.
Philippe Starck defines him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom.
This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Shanghai Poly Theater and the Clark Center at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Based on the massive XXL monograph, this edition brings the architect’s definitive career overview to an accessible format.
