Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

This book describes the detailed process behind the development of a comprehensive thermo-bio-architectural framework (the ThBA). This framework systematically connects the thermal performance requirements of a building to relevant solutions found in the natural world. This is the first time that architecture has been connected to biology in this manner. The book provides an in-depth understanding of thermoregulatory strategies in animals and plants and links these to equivalent solutions in architectural design. The inclusion of this fundamental knowledge along with the systematic process of accessing it should open up new avenues for the generation of energy efficient and sustainable buildings. | Heating with Wolves Cooling with Cacti Thermo-bio-architectural Framework (ThBA)

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical statistics typically represents one of the most difficult challenges in statistics particularly for those with more applied rather than mathematical interests and backgrounds. Most textbooks on the subject provide little or no review of the advanced calculus topics upon which much of mathematical statistics relies and furthermore contain material that is wholly theoretical thus presenting even greater challenges to those interested in applying advanced statistics to a specific area. Mathematical Statistics with Applications presents the background concepts and builds the technical sophistication needed to move on to more advanced studies in multivariate analysis decision theory stochastic processes or computational statistics. Applications embedded within theoretical discussions clearly demonstrate the utility of the theory in a useful and relevant field of application and allow readers to avoid sudden exposure to purely theoretical materials. With its clear explanations and more than usual emphasis on applications and computation this text reaches out to the many students and professionals more interested in the practical use of statistics to enrich their work in areas such as communications computer science economics astronomy and public health.

Understanding Optics with Python

Understanding Optics with Python

Optics is an enabling science that forms a basis for our technological civilization. Courses in optics are a required part of the engineering or physics undergraduate curriculum in many universities worldwide. The aim of Understanding Optics with Python is twofold: first to describe certain basic ideas of classical physical and geometric optics; second to introduce the reader to computer simulations of physical phenomena. The text is aimed more broadly for those who wish to use numerical/computational modeling as an educational tool that promotes interactive teaching (and learning). In addition it offers an alternative to developing countries where the necessary equipment to carry out the appropriate experiments is not available as a result of financial constraints. This approach contributes to a better diffusion of knowledge about optics. The examples given in this book are comparable to those found in standard textbooks on optics and are suitable for self-study. This text enables the user to study and understand optics using hands-on simulations with Python. Python is our programming language of choice because of its open-source availability extensive functionality and an enormous online support. Essentials of programming in Python 3. x including graphical user interface are also provided. The codes in the book are available for download on the book’s website. Discusses most standard topics of traditional physical and geometrical optics through Python and PyQt5 Provides visualizations and in-depth descriptions of Python’s programming language and simulations Includes simulated laboratories where students are provided a hands-on exploration of Python software Coding and programming featured within the text are available for download on the book’s corresponding website. Understanding Optics with Python by Vasudevan Lakshminarayanan Hassen Ghalila Ahmed Ammar and L. Srinivasa Varadharajan is born around a nice idea: using simulations to provide the students with a powerful tool to understand and master optical phenomena. The choice of the Python language is perfectly matched with the overall goal of the book as the Python language provides a completely free and easy-to-learn platform with huge cross-platform compatibility where the reader of the book can conduct his or her own numerical experiments to learn faster and better. — Costantino De Angelis University of Brescia Italy Teaching an important programming language like Python through concrete examples from optics is a natural and in my view very effective approach. I believe that this book will be used by students and appreciated greatly by instructors. The topic of modelling optical effects and systems where the students should already have a physical background provides great motivation for students to learn the basics of a powerful programming language without the intimidation factor that often goes with a formal computer science course. — John Dudley FEMTO-ST Institute Besançon France

Influence of Temperature on Microelectronics and System Reliability A Physics of Failure Approach

Influence of Temperature on Microelectronics and System Reliability A Physics of Failure Approach

This book raises the level of understanding of thermal design criteria. It provides the design team with sufficient knowledge to help them evaluate device architecture trade-offs and the effects of operating temperatures. The author provides readers a sound scientific basis for system operation at realistic steady state temperatures without reliability penalties. Higher temperature performance than is commonly recommended is shown to be cost effective in production for life cycle costs. The microelectronic package considered in the book is assumed to consist of a semiconductor device with first-level interconnects that may be wirebonds flip-chip or tape automated bonds; die attach; substrate; substrate attach; case; lid; lid seal; and lead seal. The temperature effects on electrical parameters of both bipolar and MOSFET devices are discussed and models quantifying the temperature effects on package elements are identified. Temperature-related models have been used to derive derating criteria for determining the maximum and minimum allowable temperature stresses for a given microelectronic package architecture. The first chapter outlines problems with some of the current modeling strategies. The next two chapters present microelectronic device failure mechanisms in terms of their dependence on steady state temperature temperature cycle temperature gradient and rate of change of temperature at the chip and package level. Physics-of-failure based models used to characterize these failure mechanisms are identified and the variabilities in temperature dependence of each of the failure mechanisms are characterized. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the effects of temperature on the performance characteristics of MOS and bipolar devices. Chapter 6 discusses using high-temperature stress screens including burn-in for high-reliability applications. The burn-in conditions used by some manufacturers are examined and a physics-of-failure approach is described.

Introduction to Probability with R

Introduction to Probability with R

Based on a popular course taught by the late Gian-Carlo Rota of MIT with many new topics covered as well Introduction to Probability with R presents R programs and animations to provide an intuitive yet rigorous understanding of how to model natural phenomena from a probabilistic point of view. Although the R programs are small in length they are just as sophisticated and powerful as longer programs in other languages. This brevity makes it easy for students to become proficient in R. This calculus-based introduction organizes the material around key themes. One of the most important themes centers on viewing probability as a way to look at the world helping students think and reason probabilistically. The text also shows how to combine and link stochastic processes to form more complex processes that are better models of natural phenomena. In addition it presents a unified treatment of transforms such as Laplace Fourier and z; the foundations of fundamental stochastic processes using entropy and information; and an introduction to Markov chains from various viewpoints. Each chapter includes a short biographical note about a contributor to probability theory exercises and selected answers. The book has an accompanying website with more information.
