This book considers the theory of linear electrical circuits in steady regimes and transients as well as common problems of synthesis of linear electrical circuits, the theory of electrical linear circuits with distributed parameters and the calculation of nonlinear electrical and magnetic circuits. It has been prepared for undergraduate students, bachelors, masters and postgraduates at this important stage of developing techniques and technologies.

Adrian Daub’s What Tech Calls Thinking is a lively dismantling of the ideas that form the intellectual bedrock of Silicon Valley. Equally important to Silicon Valley’s world-altering innovation are the language and ideas it uses to explain and justify itself. And often, those fancy new ideas are simply old motifs playing dress-up in a hoodie. From the myth of dropping out to the war cry of “disruption,” Daub locates the Valley’s supposedly original, radical thinking in the ideas of Heidegger and Ayn Rand, the New Age Esalen Foundation in Big Sur, and American traditions from the tent revival to predestination. Written with verve and imagination, What Tech Calls Thinking is an intellectual refutation of Silicon Valley's ethos, pulling back the curtain on the self-aggrandizing myths the Valley tells about itself. FSG Originals × Logic dissects the way technology functions in everyday lives. The titans of Silicon Valley, for all their utopian imaginings, never really had our best interests at heart: recent threats to democracy, truth, privacy, and safety, as a result of tech’s reckless pursuit of progress, have shown as much. We present an alternate story, one that delights in capturing technology in all its contradictions and innovation, across borders and socioeconomic divisions, from history through the future, beyond platitudes and PR hype, and past doom and gloom. Our collaboration features four brief but provocative forays into the tech industry’s many worlds, and aspires to incite fresh conversations about technology focused on nuanced and accessible explorations of the emerging tools that reorganise and redefine life today.

This new book contributes to the understanding of industrial production as our main engine of welfare. Industrial production plays a key role in human culture and the improvement in lives. Economic growth, competition and profit are important items in this mechanism. However, they are not really the main reasons why industrial production is so important. This book highlights industrial production as an engine of welfare, which is considered its main benefit. The book's objective is to improve the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of industrial production. Consequently, this is not a book about design theories. It is a book dedicated to industrial engineering. Its focus is on the systemic nature of industrial engineering and the perspective is primarily the innovation process - where products and processes are designed and developed in order to make productive fulfilment of customer's needs possible. The book is considered a contribution to the philosophy of Industrial Engineering.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology have functioned as effective "buzzwords " for at least a decade due to the unique properties that materials possess on the nanometer scale. The interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology is so great and so widespread that these topics are even being introduced at the K-12 level in some school districts. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have already improved many applications and have the potential to continue to do so, making it important for all types of scientists to stay up-to-date on research related to nanomaterials. In the first section of this book, a variety of synthetic methods used to make or functionalize nanomaterials are presented with work related to mesoporous materials, semiconductor nanowires, graphene, and carbon nanotubes included. The second section of the book presents accounts of using nanotechnology and nanoscience in a variety of ways. Overall, this book presents a snapshot of research covering synthetic studies of nanomaterials to applications of nanomaterials.
