Supply Chain Management for Engineers

Supply Chain Management for Engineers

Originally taught mainly in business schools supply chain management has become a common elective and graduate course in engineering colleges. The increasing demand for engineers with supply chain knowledge has fed this shift. However supply chain management textbooks that have a reasonable coverage of quantitative analysis techniques are few and far between. Concise straightforward and easy-to-read Supply Chain Management for Engineers uses practical problems to introduce key concepts and cultivate students problem-solving skills. Helping students hone their analytical skills and develop the ability to solve real-world problems the book: Includes a simulation game for practicing supply chain management skills Covers the use of practical software tools including Gurobi Optimizer and Microsoft EXCEL Facilitates the use of problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy Provides a theoretical framework for supply chain design and supplier selection Focusing on quantitative aspects this book uses example problems to introduce key concepts and case studies to strengthen students analysis and synthesis skills. In addition to exercises this book also provides several problems that are relatively complicated and can be used as mini projects that link theoretical concepts to practical problem solving. It also presents a simulation game where students can play the roles of suppliers OEMs and retailers within a supply chain environment to practice the skills they acquire. It also stresses the importance of integrating engineering optimization techniques with business strategic thinking. These features and more give students the supply chain knowledge and problem-solving skills increasingly required for engineers entering the work force.

Acute Nursing Care Recognising and Responding to Medical Emergencies

Acute Nursing Care Recognising and Responding to Medical Emergencies

Delays in recognising deterioration or inappropriate management of people in acute care settings can result in late treatment avoidable admissions to intensive care units and in some instances unnecessary deaths. As the role of the nurse in healthcare settings continues to change and evolve today's student nurses need to be equipped with the fundamental skills to recognise and manage deterioration in the patient in a competent and confident manner as you learn to become practitioners of the future. Using a body systems approach and emphasising the central role and function of the nurse throughout this book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential issues in this important subject. Topics covered include: recognition and identification of physiological deterioration in adults; identification of disordered physiology that may lead to a medical emergency linked to deterioration of normal function; relevant anatomy and physiology; pathophysiological changes and actions that need to be taken; immediate recognition and response; investigations diagnosis and management issues; and teaching and preventative strategies. | Acute Nursing Care Recognising and Responding to Medical Emergencies

The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems

Although effective fire sprinkler systems are crucial to public safety for years the designers of those systems had few published resources to reference and guide them through their design processes. The first edition of this book changed all that and now The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems Second Edition suits their needs even better. Written and thoroughly updated by a fire prevention engineer with more than 20 years of experience this book provides a complete systematic introduction to automatic fire sprinkler design and layout from design basics code requirements and pipe hanging to hydraulic calculations retrofits and details on fire pumps. The author carefully outlines all of a designer's responsibilities and includes an entire chapter dedicated to preparing for the NICET exam. More than 150 sample diagrams checklists sample forms spec sheets photographs and a glossary complement the text and the larger page size of this edition permits clear presentation of diagrams and schematics. The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems not only builds the foundation and skills of newcomers to the field but also provides an outstanding reference for fire safety professionals building inspectors insurance underwriters and municipal officials.

Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations

Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations

The book provides an introduction to deterministic (and some stochastic) modeling of spatiotemporal phenomena in ecology epidemiology and neural systems. A survey of the classical models in the fields with up to date applications is given. The book begins with detailed description of how spatial dynamics/diffusive processes influence the dynamics of biological populations. These processes play a key role in understanding the outbreak and spread of pandemics which help us in designing the control strategies from the public health perspective. A brief discussion on the functional mechanism of the brain (single neuron models and network level) with classical models of neuronal dynamics in space and time is given. Relevant phenomena and existing modeling approaches in ecology epidemiology and neuroscience are introduced which provide examples of pattern formation in these models. The analysis of patterns enables us to study the dynamics of macroscopic and microscopic behaviour of underlying systems and travelling wave type patterns observed in dispersive systems. Moving on to virus dynamics authors present a detailed analysis of different types models of infectious diseases including two models for influenza five models for Ebola virus and seven models for Zika virus with diffusion and time delay. A Chapter is devoted for the study of Brain Dynamics (Neural systems in space and time). Significant advances made in modeling the reaction-diffusion systems are presented and spatiotemporal patterning in the systems is reviewed. Development of appropriate mathematical models and detailed analysis (such as linear stability weakly nonlinear analysis bifurcation analysis control theory numerical simulation) are presented. Key Features Covers the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills required to analyse reaction-diffusion models for biological populations. Concepts are introduced in such a way that readers with a basic knowledge of differential equations and numerical methods can understand the analysis. The results are also illustrated with figures. Focuses on mathematical modeling and numerical simulations using basic conceptual and classic models of population dynamics Virus and Brain dynamics. Covers wide range of models using spatial and non-spatial approaches. Covers single two and multispecies reaction-diffusion models from ecology and models from bio-chemistry. Models are analysed for stability of equilibrium points Turing instability Hopf bifurcation and pattern formations. Uses Mathematica for problem solving and MATLAB for pattern formations. Contains solved Examples and Problems in Exercises. The Book is suitable for advanced undergraduate graduate and research students. For those who are working in the above areas it provides information from most of the recent works. The text presents all the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills needed to build models and perform analyses. | Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations
