This book results from a Special Issue related to the latest progress in the thermodynamics of machines systems and processes since the premonitory work of Carnot. Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case.…
This open access book presents the key aspects of statistics in Wasserstein spaces, i.e. statistics in the space of probability measures when endowed with the geometry of optimal transportation. Further to reviewing state-of-the-art aspects, it also provides an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of this current topic, as well as an overview that will serve as an invitation and catalyst…
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researcher…
Buku ini merupakan pengantar yang sangat komprehensif mengenai evolusi teknologi genomik dalam peternakan. Ketersediaan sekuens genom untuk sebagian besar spesies ternak selama 15 tahun terakhir berpotensi merevolusi produksi ternak global. Data genomik ini memberdayakan produsen untuk menyelaraskan genetika hewan individu dengan iklim, sistem produksi, dan permintaan pasar yang berkembang pesa…
Indikator yang dikodekan secara genetik (GEI) telah muncul sebagai alat transformatif untuk perekaman aktivitas populasi neuron yang spesifik terhadap jenis sel dan bersifat kronis. Sejak kemunculan indikator Ca2+ prototipe pertama (Cameleons) pada tahun 1997, bidang ini telah mengalami evolusi yang luar biasa. Kemajuan ini ditandai dengan lompatan signifikan dalam kinerja indikator serta pener…
What do climate models predict for the rainfall where you live? What about evaporation or runoff? Should your local community consider constructing new dams or do the existing water storages appear adequate? What about the availability of water for irrigation farming? Do the predictions differ between different climate models or do all the models basically predict the same changes in water avai…

Buku ini memiliki premis yang sangat menarik karena menghubungkan konsep kecerdasan buatan (Sistem Pakar) dengan aplikasi infrastruktur modern. Apa sebenarnya sistem pakar itu, dan apa tujuan utama pengembangannya? Bagaimana dampak nyata dari implementasinya di berbagai sektor? Buku ini disusun khusus untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut secara mendalam. Ditulis oleh para pakar di bida…
One of the most common methods to evaluate environmental footprints of farming systems is life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCA itself is suitable for and adopted by a wide range of industries far beyond agriculture, what separates agriculture, and in particular pasture-based ruminant production systems, is the high degree of uncertainties associated with physical, chemical and biological p…
