Los avances informáticos de las décadas más recientes, con el desarrollo de equipos portátiles y procesadores cada vez más potentes, ha favorecido el uso y la aplicación de métodos numéricos en diversos campos de la ingeniería, como en la simulación de procesos, en donde son comunes los simuladores comerciales que facilitan, entre otras labores, las de diseño, control y análisis de variables. Métodos numéricos en Excel y Matlab. Con...

"In the near future, journalist Martin Seymour travels to Iran to cover the parliamentary elections. Most would-be opposition candidates are disqualified and the election becomes the non-event the world expects. But shortly afterward a compromising image of a government official captured on a mobile phone triggers a revolutionary movement that overthrows the old theocracy. Nasim Golestani, a young Iranian scientist living in exile in the United States,...

A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar...

One of the most exciting aspects of creating worlds in the popular game of Minecraft is constructing railroads to carry your character around the towns you build. Rails and carts can also be used to make transportation systems in mines, but also roller-coasters. This volume shows readers how railroads constructed in Minecraft can display engineering concepts used in the real world. Using the redstone blocks in Minecraft gives readers a basic understanding...

Takes D-Day back to its raw data to reveal how the odds of victory, in the greatest gamble of World War II, swung on what happened over a five-hour period on a five mile stretch of French coastline. Data gathered though forensic laser scanning, 3D computer modeling, and eye-witness accounts bring the battlefield to life as never before.

Do you know how to build a Machine Learning Algorithm in Python? Have you learned how to build a Neural Network in Python? If you have read the first three books in the series, you will know how to do both those things. If you want to learn more about the concepts related to Machine Learning, and some subjects and concepts that are linked to Machine Learning, you have come to the right place. Over the course of the book, you will gather information...

The ultimate goal of this paper is to control the angular speed, in a model of a DC motor driving an inertial load has the angular speed as the output and applied voltage as the input, by varying the applied voltage using different control strategies for comparison purpose. The comparison is made between the proportional controller, integral controller, proportional and integral controller, phase lag compensator, derivative controller, lead integral...

"Virtually Human explores what the not-too-distant future will look like when cyberconsciousness -- simulation of the human brain via software and computer technology -- becomes part of our daily lives. Meet Bina48, the world's most sentient robot, commissioned by Martine Rothblatt and created by Hanson Robotics. Bina48 is a nascent Mindclone of Martine's wife that can engage in conversation, answer questions, and even have spontaneous thoughts that...

Faults studies form an important part of power system analysis. The problem consists of determining bus voltages and line currents during various types of faults. If the fault location is known the problem can be easily solved. But if the fault location is unknown, it is difficult to solve the problem. If the fault location is known the problem can be easily solved. But if the fault location is unknown, it is difficult to solve the problem. There...

This book aims to shed light on the use of various modelling tools and simulation techniques in the domains of tourism and hospitality. It offers an essential introduction to the most popular methods used for modelling and simulating systems and phenomena of interest, and an overview of these techniques and methods. The main concept of each technique and method is examined and case studies and links to free online tutorials and other helpful resources...
