This open access book allows the reader to grasp the main bulk of fluid flow problems at a brisk pace. Starting with the basic concepts of conservation laws developed using continuum mechanics, the incompressibility of a fluid is explained and modeled, leading to the famous Navier-Stokes equation that governs the dynamics of fluids. Some exact solutions for transient and steady-state cases in C…
Adhesive abilities of insects, spiders and reptiles have inspired researchers for a long time. All these organisms show outstanding performance, particularly for force, adhesion and climbing abilities, relative to their size and weight. Scientists have focused on the gecko's adhesive paw system and climbing abilities. Its adhesion mechanism has been an important topic of research for nearly 150…
The reprint focuses on artificial intelligence-based learning approaches and their applications in remote sensing fields. The explosive development of machine learning, deep learning approaches and its wide applications in signal processing have been witnessed in remote sensing. The new developments in remote sensing have led to a high resolution monitoring of ground on a global scale, giving a…
Human history is filled with inventions and other innovations that resulted in a significant and lasting change in our civilization’s course of development. From gasoline-powered vehicles to transistor-based electronics or jet airplanes, things we now take for granted often appeared suddenly and unexpectedly. Yet after their introduction, our world changed forever. Over the past two decades, …
The aim of this Special Issue is to review, understand, and evaluate new and exciting opportunities from the field on regenerative medicine, biomaterials, and stem cell research for the bioengineering of human liver grafts that can be applied for transplantation and personalized treatment of end-stage liver disease.The development of culture conditions for long-term expansion of LGR5+ intestina…
Global energy demand is expected to grow 47% by 2050, with oil remaining the number one source of energy. Renewables make up 27% of the global energy mix, as predicted by the International Energy Agency (IEA). To achieve IEA's 2050 Net Zero targets, the electricity sector needs to reduce global emissions by nearly three-quarters. Even though renewables installations are expanding quickly, there…
Selama akhir tahun 1960-an, Normalisasi dan Valorisasi Peran Sosial (SRV) memungkinkan munculnya pilihan perumahan komunitas secara luas dan kemudian menyediakan iklim filosofis di mana integrasi pendidikan, pekerjaan yang didukung, dan partisipasi komunitas dapat berakar kuat. Buku ini unik dalam menelusuri evolusi dan dampak Normalisasi dan SRV selama seperempat abad terakhir, dengan banyak p…
Saya sangat bangga dan gembira memperkenalkan buku ini kepada Anda, yang memberikan banyak indikasi menarik tentang cara lebih memahami dan menangani dunia tomografi koherensi optik (OCT). Dengan membaca bab-babnya, Anda akan menyadari bahwa perangkat ini sangat penting tidak hanya dalam praktik klinis penyakit retina, tetapi juga sangat berguna sebagai alat bedah. Selain itu, aplikasi OCT tela…
Volume ini meneliti South Uist, sebuah pulau kecil di bagian selatan Hebrides Luar. Di tengah pulau terletak kota kecil Bornais. Kota ini mencakup area tanah yang sangat datar, yang berarti bahwa tiga gundukan dapat dilihat dengan lebih jelas. Gundukan ini telah diidentifikasi berasal dari periode Viking, dengan bukti pemukiman pra-Viking di lokasi yang berasal dari pecahan-pecahan dari Zaman B…
This book aims to provide a new vision of how algorithms are the core of decision support systems (DSSs), which are increasingly important information systems that help to make decisions related to unstructured and semi-unstructured decision problems that do not have a simple solution from a human point of view. It begins with a discussion of how DSSs will be vital to improving the health of th…
