- Serves a variety of users, such as students/engineers who want to
learn more about corrosion; academics who want to teach and
research in this area and importantly, practitioners who need to
assess corrosion damages to metal structures to ensure their safety
and serviceability. - The knowledge and techniques presented in the
book can be easily applied by users, such as materials and
structural engineers who are responsible for safe and serviceable
operation of infrastructure, asset managers and owners who need to
make decisions regarding the maintenance and even demolition of
corroded infrastructure. - This book can be the first of its kind
that discusses corrosion and its effect on degradation of various
mechanical properties, such as strength fatigue, fracture
toughness, of various ferrous metals, such as steel, cost iron and
ductile iron. The knowledge of mechanical strength degradation is
essential to accurate prediction of infrastructure failures. - The
book is written in plain English as much as practicable. Technical
terminology is explained in as much detail as possible with
necessary figures and tables for easy understanding.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th
International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures
for the Development of Networks and Communities, TridentCom 2016,
held in Hangzhou, China, in June 2016. The 16 papers were carefully
selected from 25 submissions and provide a forum about technologies
of big data, cyber physical systems and computer communications.
The papers cover future Internet and software defined networks,
network testbed design and implementation, testbed for network
applications, and QoS/QoE in networks.
This monograph written by two Chinese scientists of the younger
generation opens a window into the world of thoughts on Mechanical
Metallurgy in this fascinating area of our world, characterized by
age old cultural heritage as weil as by its dynamic evolution into
the future. Based on notions and names all so familiar to the
western scientist, and regarding the subject from the point of view
of the theoretical mechanical engineer (Yang) as weil as that of
the materials and manufacturing engineer (Lee), the authors present
a synthesis of both approaches and endeavour to guide the reader
from basic theory to engineering applications. Between structural
defects in the micrometer scale and the meter-measures of
engineering components, the term of mesoplasticity is meant to
place the reader right in the center: This is certainly
achallenging enterprise, and the editor expresses his sincere
wishes as to enrichment and stimulation which will emanate from
this interesting book and its creative perspective. Prof. B.
Ilschner March, 1993. Preface In the past two decades, enormous
advances in materials and manufacturing tech nology have been
achieved, which upgrade the material design, processing and
precision manufacturing as quantitative and concise scientific
disciplines. Rapid improvements on mechanics understanding have
been instrumental in the above mentioned development. A topic of
great interest and importance in plasticity re search has been the
design and processing of materials themselves on the mesoscale to
achieve the desired macroscopic properties."
This is the first mechatronics book dealing with coupled
mechanical and electrical actions, an emerging branch of modern
technology. Authored by the leading scientist in this field, the
book treats various subjects along the interface between mechanics
and electronics.
This book is a monograph about Mechatronic Reliability, an emerging branch of modern technology. It addresses professionals, graduate students and even senior undergraduates engaged in the research of solid mechanics, material sciences, microelectronics, solid state physics and mechanical engineering. The framework of mechatronic reliability unfolds in four parts, according to the sequence of electric failures, mechanical-electrical coupling, domain switching and mass-flow instability. Various subjects treated in the book are positioned along the interface between mechanics and electronics. Typical failure modes for materials under electrical and/or mechanical loading are identified. Analyses devoted to those failure modes reveal their mechanisms, and establish new theories for the assessment of their reliability.
Time-Dependent Reliability Theory and Its Applications introduces
the theory of time-dependent reliability and presents methods to
determine the reliability of structures over the lifespan of their
services. The book contains state-of-the-art solutions to first
passage probability derived from the theory of stochastic processes
with different types of probability distribution functions,
including Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions and stationary
and non-stationary processes. In addition, it provides various
methods to determine the probability of failure over time,
considering different failure modes and a methodology to predict
the service life of structures. Sections also cover the
applications of time-dependent reliability to prediction of service
life and development of risk cost-optimized maintenance strategy
for existing structures. This new book is for those who wants to
know how to predict the service life of a structure (buildings,
bridges, aircraft structures, etc.) and how to develop a risk-cost,
optimized maintenance strategy for these structures.
This book first presents a tutorial on Federated Learning (FL) and
its role in enabling Edge Intelligence over wireless edge networks.
This provides readers with a concise introduction to the challenges
and state-of-the-art approaches towards implementing FL over the
wireless edge network. Then, in consideration of resource
heterogeneity at the network edge, the authors provide multifaceted
solutions at the intersection of network economics, game theory,
and machine learning towards improving the efficiency of resource
allocation for FL over the wireless edge networks. A clear
understanding of such issues and the presented theoretical studies
will serve to guide practitioners and researchers in implementing
resource-efficient FL systems and solving the open issues in FL
respectively.

Hailey Walker is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend, Sam
Brown, but doesn't want to leave him. Their affair is not only
abusive, but extremely romantic at the same time. Sam is good at
sweeping a girl off her feet. Hailey grew up believing that true
love and happiness with a romantic man is a fairy tale come true.
It becomes an obsession. She believes her relationship with Sam is
what true love is supposed to be, so she continues to lie to
herself and stays with this abusive man. Sam doesn't love Hailey,
and only wants to keep her as a trophy to prove that he can have a
woman as beautiful as Hailey addicted to him. Despite being
together with Hailey for over ten years, Sam is married to a rich
woman named Nichole Stanmore. Nichole doesn't love Sam and is ready
to divorce him the second he does her wrong. She knows that Sam
needs her family fortune to keep his business, so Sam won't do
anything to anger his wife. Nichole's father, Jeff Stanmore, owns a
successful trucking company, but owes all his success to his wife,
Sabrina, who has a doctorate in business. She transformed Jeff from
a high school dropout into the successful businessman he is today.
Jeff's affair with a nineteen-year-old Chinese exchange student
angers Sabrina so much that she dies of a stroke. Soon after, Jeff
starts to plan his next wedding. Who will be crying Cinderella
Tears in this intense novel? First-time author Jui-Wei Yang lives
in Australia. The issue of abuse to women was the inspiration for
the book. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/Jui-WeiYang
This book presents the latest management ideas in knowledge
creation in the hospital sector. Knowledge continues to be a key
factor for hospitals in recent institutional and competitive
environment. Although the field of knowledge creation and
management has been growing fast as study of business management
that have profoundly results, the studies about the application of
knowledge creation approach in the hospital sector are particular
lacking. This book tries to fill this gap by extending theory of
the hospital in knowledge-based view and building a hospital
knowledge creation model. This book consists of two parts. Part one
presents chapter that describe the development of the theory of the
hospital in a knowledge-based view. Based on the discussion in part
one, part two focuses on building a hospital knowledge creation
model in both qualitative and quantative methods. Finally, I hope
the significances of this book will contribute to the development
of a knowledge-based theory of the hospital in the future study.
