Modelling and Simulation of Reactive Flows presents information on
modeling and how to numerically solve reactive flows. The book
offers a distinctive approach that combines diffusion flames and
geochemical flow problems, providing users with a comprehensive
resource that bridges the gap for scientists, engineers, and the
industry. Specifically, the book looks at the basic concepts
related to reaction rates, chemical kinetics, and the development
of reduced kinetic mechanisms. It considers the most common methods
used in practical situations, along with equations for reactive
flows, and various techniques-including flamelet, ILDM, and
Redim-for jet flames and plumes, with solutions for both. In
addition, the book includes techniques to accelerate the
convergence of numerical simulation, and a discussion on the
analysis of uncertainties with numerical results, making this a
useful reference for anyone who is interested in both combustion in
free flow and in porous media.
Databook of Preservatives contains data for preservatives for
products during transport and storage, film preservatives, wood
preservatives, fiber, leather, rubber and polymerized materials
preservatives, construction material preservatives, preservatives
for liquid cooling and processing systems, slimicides, and cutting
fluid preservatives. The selection of preservatives includes
generic and commercial products, thus allowing for a comparison of
properties of products coming from different sources. As well as
general information about each preservative, the book also covers
physical properties, health and safety issues and ecological
properties. Over 100 data fields are included. Emphasis is
particularly placed on usage and performance considerations,
including information on manufacturers, an assessment of
particularly notable properties, features and benefits, which
combinations are recommended, and the effect of the preservative on
microorganisms.
New quantitative methodology and the development of corpus and
experimental linguistics tools have recently made researching
lexical comprehension and production more accessible. While several
tools and data sets are available in English (Coh-metrix, CELEX)
and a few other languages, the development of resources and
empirical research is still lacking in Spanish. This volume brings
together original empirical research and theoretical perspectives
that examine lexical development in Spanish L1, L2 and L3, with a
focus on different teaching approaches and textbook coverage of
Spanish lexicon in L2 curricula and the use of corpus linguistics
in methodological investigations. Some questions addressed include
the role of lexical development in mapping grammatical acquisition
phases, the potential transfers of L1 to L2 lexical abilities, the
effect of explicit vocabulary learning techniques in L2, how
affective meaning modulates L2 acquisition, or how a typological
understanding of lexical organization can help in teaching more
effectively the lexicon of a language, among many others. The book
offers an overview of what is currently being done in the field of
Spanish lexical acquisition through a myriad of approaches and
topics.

In the modern age of urbanisation, the mass population is becoming
progressively reliant on technical infrastructures. These
industrial buildings provide integral services to the general
public including the delivery of energy, information and
communication technologies, and maintenance of transport networks.
The safety and security of these structures is crucial as new
threats are continually emerging. Safety and Security Issues in
Technical Infrastructures is a pivotal reference source that
provides vital research on the modernisation of occupational
security and safety practices within information technology-driven
buildings. While highlighting topics such as explosion process
safety, nanotechnology, and infrastructural risk analysis, this
publication explores current risks and uncertainties and the
raising of comprehensive awareness for experts in this field. This
book is ideally designed for security managers, safety personnel,
civil engineers, architects, researchers, construction
professionals, strategists, educators, material scientists,
property owners, and students.
Containing case studies and examples, the book aims to cover
extensive research particularly on surface stress and topics
related to the variational approach to the subject, and
non-standard topics such as the rigorous treatment of constraints
and a full discussion of algebraic inequalities associated with
realistic material behaviour, and their implications. Serving as an
introduction to the basic elements of Finite Elasticity, this
textbook is the cornerstone for any graduate-level on the topic,
while also providing a template for a host of theories in Solid
Mechanics.
In today's competitive environments, only the most creative and
innovative organizations are able to survive. Indeed, instead of
reacting to the market challenges, creative and innovative
organizations act in a proactive way, establishing and developing
strategies able to leverage, continuously, their creativity and
their innovative abilities to attain long term success and
competitiveness. Whether in the profit or non-profit sectors, or in
the public or private sector, this book is designed to improve the
knowledge, abilities, skills, and effectiveness, of all those that
in their daily life are involved in creativity and innovative
management and engineering. This book is an essential resource for
academics, researchers, human resources managers, managers,
engineers, and other professionals in related matters with creative
and innovative management and engineering. This book introduces new
lines of research about creativity and innovation in management and
engineering areas. The models, theories and tools presented and
discussed within enlighten management to take a more creative,
innovative and strategic role in organizations. In the business
world, there is a growing importance of sophisticated analysis for
managers to support decision making, to use strategic information
and creative and innovative tools in order to guide thinking and
behavior as well as to manage more strategically to adapt to
competitive environments and improve business performance and
growth.
