This book shows the matter and energy balance application in biological and biotechnological systems, including multimedia tools to improve the understanding. The content is structured in three chapters: First chapter pr...

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings' cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other ...

Liquid Air Energy Storage offers several advantages over other energy storage systems, including high energy density, scalability, cost-competitiveness, and non-geographical constraints. This study develops a computation...

Innovative terahertz waveguides are in high demand to serve as a versatile platform for transporting and manipulating terahertz signals for the full deployment of future six-generation (6G) communication systems. Metal-w...

Abstract The assembly process of aerospace products such as satellites and rockets has the characteristics of single- or small-batch production, a long development period, high reliability, and frequent disturbances. How...

Virtual Design Engineering is an emerging method of increasing quality of systems. Including Virtual Design as a part of the traditional established Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis process greatly enhance...

Microelectronic computers have encountered challenges in meeting all of today’s demands for information processing. Meeting these demands will require the development of unconventional computers employing alternative p...

Coastal zone is transitional area between land and sea. Under the impacts of climate change, coastal zone is threatened by stressors such as sea-level rise, intensified storm surges. It is a common trend in global coasta...

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) systems are a promising technology for storing electricity due to their high energy density and lack of geographic constraints. However, some LAES systems still have relatively low round-...

This study analyzes the iterative application of Rapid Application Development (RAD) in the engineering of an employee performance appraisal information system within a higher education context. The system was developed ...

Aviation around the world has integrated into a global system. As the integration process continues, more aspects and levels of it need to be lead towards the sustainable development of the whole system via advancing str...

Abstract Minimum quantity Lubrication (MQL) is a sustainable lubrication system that is famous in many machining systems. It involve the spray of an infinitesimal amount of mist-like lubricants during machining processes...

In the context of the rapid evolution of digital finance, artificial intelligence (AI) models are deeply integrated into critical business processes such as risk assessment, asset pricing, and anti-fraud. The resultant l...

Abstract Full-face hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBM) are essential equipment in highway and railway tunnel engineering construction. During the tunneling process, TBM have serious vibrations, which can damage some o...

The structured techniques for systems analysis and design are still the most widely known. One of the alternatives of this technique is the JAD methodology (Joint Application Design). This methodology is an improvement w...

This paper presents semiotic engineering – a semiotic theory of HCI. The theory has the advantage to integrate back end and front end design and development perspectives into a single metacommunication process that aff...

Programming embedded devices has been historically a difficult task, involving the learning of the features of a specific device such as the assembly language of a processor. This led to the use of Java in embedded syste...

Robots have become usual collaborators in our daily life. While robotic systems grow to be more and more complex, the need to engineering their software development process grows as well. Traditional approaches that are ...

The Standardization of a development process for systems of medium complexity, entirely supported by an integrated development environment, could mean a double contribution to the industry of systems development. On the ...

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image pro...

The updated fourth edition of the "bible" of solar energy theory and applications Over several editions, Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes has become a classic solar engineering text and reference. This revised Four...

Self-optimizing mechatronic systems react autonomously and flexibly to changing conditions. They are capable of learning and optimize their behavior throughout their life cycle. The paradigm of self-optimization is origi...
