This book focuses on corrosion and microbial corrosion, providing
solutions for these problems based on nanotechnology and
nanobiotechnology. It introduces the causes, consequences, cost and
control of corrosion processes. It gives a particular emphasis on
microbial corrosion of steel and other metals in oil, gas and
shipping industries. The book presents the materials vulnerable to
such kind of corrosion, and the use of nanomaterials to control it.

Infrared remote control equipment needs to have narrow band
spectral response so that its operation will not affected by
visible light. Photodetectors are semiconductor devices that can
detect optical signals through electronic processes. The operation
of a general photodetector includes basically three processes:
carrier generation by incident light, carrier transport, and
extraction of carriers as terminal current to provide the output
signal.
As result of globalization, new notion called the global problems
has appeared such as the financial crisis, global warming, and
Climate change and biodiversity affecting the whole world in
general and the third world developing countries in particular
resulting from the developed countries actions. One of these
solutions is using the nanotechnology and the environmental
materials in architecture so as to reduce energy consumption in the
public buildings to reduce its heat emissions. Hence, reaching the
main purpose of this study finding the best ways to reduce the
carbon dioxide emissions harming the environment. Also on the
private or individual level, it leads to zero carbon architecture
through using nanotechnology, and nanoarchitecture. This will be
done through case studies in Bibliotheca Alexandrina, it is to
convert the building to be environmentally friendly and based on
renewable energy and to minimize the consumption of the building
for electricity generated from burning of petroleum products
without influence a performance of the building and the performance
of his job required him to even raise the operational efficiency
and interaction with users.
Daylighting has been a part of built forms throughout architectural
history. Interest in using daylighting as a major design element
has varied with the social and economic forces of the time. Since
1973, interest in daylighting has increased as a result of oil
embargo and the understanding that electric lighting represents a
major energy consumer. Energy savings achieved through the use of
daylight also translate into energy cost savings from reduced
electricity consumption for lighting and cooling as well as from
reduced needs during peak demand periods in many building. The
objective of this paper is to explain the great importance for
daylighting and the role played in design process for the building
and the participation in the design from the first step which
effects the designer decision for dimensions, position for the
opening and the building orientation, etc... Which give the
psychological comfort for building user and how to control the heat
transfer throw opening by using different materials and using
simulation programs which give to the designer a clear image for
what will be a situation all the year around.
Leaf springs are essential elements in the suspension systems of
vehicles including sport utility vehicles(SUV), trucks, and
railroad vehicles. Accurate modeling of the leaf springs is
essential in evaluating ride comfort, braking, NVH, and stability.
The floating frame of reference formulation is employed to
accurately model the leaf springs nonlinearities. Vehicle rollover
may result from severe braking during lane changes, cornering, and
maneuvering. The braking-induced-steering can lead to rollover
instability. In this study, the dynamics of a detailed SUV model is
investigated by using the model in a parametric study to examine
the effect of various design configurations. To study the dynamics
of very flexible leaf springs, the absolute nodal coordinate
formulation (ANCF) is used. A shear-deformable beam element is
developed to analyze large rotation and large deformation problems.
Using the ANCF, nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are
used to define the elastic forces. The beam mass matrix remains
constant while the centrifugal and Coriolis forces are zero. The
new ANCF beam wa used to analyze very flexible leaf springs in this
investigation.
Infrared thermography is a popular technique for the
non-destructive testing and evaluation of different materials and
manufactured structures due to its contact-less and real-time
inspection nature. Thermography has been successfully applied in
many fields ranging from the aviation industry to the machine
vision applications for online process control and product
evaluation. Extended applications may be hindered by the difficulty
associated with the automation of the thermograms analysis and the
development of dedicated processing algorithms that account for the
target thermal conditions. This book focuses on the development of
new processing approaches for the thermographic facial and
sub-facial NDT and E when applied in industrial settings. Facial
applications incorporate the testing of newly coated structures,
which is illustrated through two case studies. One is the automated
detection of Seeds on painted car shells and the second addresses
the evaluation of protective coat coverage. Sub-facial applications
cover the detection and characterization of subsurface anomalies as
in evaluating the kissing bond integrity in plastic welded joints;
using a pulsed thermographic system.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on
Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Applied Discrete Mathematics,
held on January 11, 2015, in San Antonio, Texas. The papers present
connections between techniques from ``pure'' mathematics and
various applications amenable to the analysis of discrete models,
encompassing applications of combinatorics, topology, algebra,
geometry, optimization, and representation theory. Papers not only
present novel results, but also survey the current state of
knowledge of important topics in applied discrete mathematics.
Particular highlights include: a new computational framework, based
on geometric combinatorics, for structure prediction from RNA
sequences; a new method for approximating the optimal solution of a
sum of squares problem; a survey of recent Helly-type geometric
theorems; applications of representation theory to voting theory
and game theory; a study of fixed points of tensors; and
exponential random graph models from the perspective of algebraic
statistics with applications to networks. This volume was written
for those trained in areas such as algebra, topology, geometry, and
combinatorics who are interested in tackling problems in fields
such as biology, the social sciences, data analysis, and
optimization. It may be useful not only for experts, but also for
students who wish to gain an applied or interdisciplinary
perspective.
