Advanced Air and Noise Pollution Control

Lawrence K. Wang

The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to specific pollution problems has been a major contributing factor to the success of environmental engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the establishment of a “methodology of pollution control.” However, realization of the

ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental problems renders it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken. Prerequisite to such planning is an understanding of the performance, potential, and limitations of the various methods of pollution abatement available for environmental engineering. In this series of handbooks, we will review at a tutorial level a broad spectrum of engineering systems (processes, operations, and methods) currently being utilized, or of potential utility, for pollution abatement. We believe that the unified interdisciplinary approach in these handbooks is a logical step in the evolution of environmental engineering. 

ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT

VASANT DESAI 
The process of socio-economic change is an intrinsic part of human  civilization. Man has been striving ceaselessly to discover the secrets of nature and thereby benefit immensely in creating a peaceful, rich life for himself and his fellow-beings. Man has benefited by agricultural, indus­ trial and information activities. According to J.K. Galbraith, there are three types of economic development that are currently in vogue. These are symbolic modernisation, maximised economic growth and selective growth. Economic growth is the sine qua non of change and better living standards. Over the years, a middle-of-the road social democratic thinking is becoming consolidated.

Computational electromagnetics for RF and microwave engineering

David B. Davidson
The numerical approximation of Maxwell's equations, Computational Electromagnetics (CEM), has emerged as a crucial enabling technology for radio-frequency, microwave and wireless engineering. The three most popular 'full-wave' methods - the Finite Difference Time Domain Method, the Method of Moments, and the Finite Element Method - are introduced in this book by way of one or two-dimensional problems. Commercial or public domain codes implementing these methods are then applied to complex, real-world engineering problems, and a careful analysis of the reliability of the results obtained is performed, along with a discussion of the many pitfalls which can result in inaccurate and misleading solutions. The book will empower readers to become discerning users of CEM software, with an understanding of the underlying methods and confidence in the results obtained. It also introduces readers to the art of code development. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate/graduate students taking CEM courses and practising engineers in the industry.

Getting Started with Arduino A Beginners Guide

Brad Kendall
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

In addition to Arduino’s simplicity, it is also inexpensive, cross-platform and open source. Believe it or not, even relatively inexperienced users can build a version of the Arduino module on a breadboard in order to understand how it works and save a little bit of money.

An Arduino can basically do anything by interfacing sensors with a computer. This would allow you to take any sensor and have any action applied with the readings. For example (in one of our projects) we will read the level of light in a room and adjust an LED’s brightness to react based on that input.

In this guide, Brad Kendall will take you through everything you need to know to get started with your own basic Arduino projects and lead you on to more interesting ideas. 

Arduino Projects

Arduino is an incredibly flexible and easy-to-use physical-computing platform, and with Cool Arduino Projects, you’ll put it to work building home automation projects, robotics projects, and even (literally) out-of-this-world projects, including a rocket avionics system. The book will guide you through a variety of projects–some basic, some more advanced, some very practical, and some just plain fun. You’ll learn how to create home automation projects such as a DMX light dimmer, an automatic bathroom fan, a proximity touch switch, and even smart clothing linked to Second Life. You’ll also discover how to make practical projects like a networked general-purpose device, an irrigation controller, a heart rate biomonitor, and both sun-tracking and web-controlled camera mounts. You will even learn how to create a rocket avionics system and your own electronics lab in a box. You’ll get descriptions of the parts required and where to find them, how to assemble them, possible pitfalls, and complete code with explanations. What you’ll learn* How to modify and automate common household items and even link them to virtual environments.

Power Electronics Handbook

Muhammad H. Rashid

Power electronics is a broad subject that deals with every aspect of electronic systems and devices. Any computer, machine, controller, game, etc., that is available today is dependent on the power electronics in those systems and devices to operate. Power electronics systems deal with the process of converting electrical power from one form to another. Power Electronics Handbook is specifically designed for the professional engineer in industry and includes contributions of over 60 authors primarily from industry.Power electronics is most frequently thought of because of its importance in supplying and converting an uninterruptable power supply to computers. The growth in computational power, communications applications, data storage, and memory systems has put the common layperson directly in contact with power engineering devices and challenges such as surge protectors and power failures. However, the field of power electronics is involved in all electronic devices and sytems. Examples include residential (refrigeration, heating, cooking, audio/video), commercial (lighting, office equipment, elevators), industrial (pumps, compressors, fans, robots, lasers, welding), transportation (automotive electronics, electric trains, battery chargers), and telecommunications (battery chargers, power supplies).All engineers involved with system and device design must deal with the fundamentals and advances of power electronics. This Handbook is the result of an intensive search to develop a new major reference for this large professional market. All aspects of AC and DC power conversion are addressed and there is an emphasis on the design process throughout as well as safety andreliability. This is the most comprehensive treatment of all aspects of power electronics ever presented in one volume at such a reasonable price.* Provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of power electronics including both traditional topics and new advancements* Gives special attention to the actual design process as well as inherent safety and reliability issues* Includes an in-depth study of the operation, analysis, and design of various power converters* Covers the characteristics of modern power semiconductor devices, which are used as switches to perform the power conversions from ac-dc, dc-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac
