Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing sector with the ability to evoke a revolution in manufacturing due to its almost unlimited design freedom and its capability to produce personalised parts locally and with efficient material use. AM companies however still face technological challenges such as limited precision due to shrinkage built-in stresses and limited process stability and robustness. Moreover often post-processing is needed due to high roughness and remaining porosity. Qualified trained personnel are also in short supply. In recent years there have been dramatic improvements in AM design methods process control post-processing material properties and material range. However if AM is going to gain a significant market share it must be developed into a true precision manufacturing method. The production of precision parts relies on three principles: Production is robust (i. e. all sensitive parameters can be controlled). Production is predictable (for example the shrinkage that occurs is acceptable because it can be predicted and compensated in the design). Parts are measurable (as without metrology accuracy repeatability and quality assurance cannot be known). AM of metals is inherently a high-energy process with many sensitive and inter-related process parameters making it susceptible to thermal distortions defects and process drift. The complete modelling of these processes is beyond current computational power and novel methods are needed to practicably predict performance and inform design. In addition metal AM produces highly textured surfaces and complex surface features that stretch the limits of contemporary metrology. With so many factors to consider there is a significant shortage of background material on how to inject precision into AM processes. Shortage in such material is an important barrier for a wider uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and a comprehensive book is thus needed. This book aims to inform the reader how to improve the precision of metal AM processes by tackling the three principles of robustness predictability and metrology and by developing computer-aided engineering methods that empower rather than limit AM design. Richard Leach is a professor in metrology at the University of Nottingham and heads up the Manufacturing Metrology Team. Prior to this position he was at the National Physical Laboratory from 1990 to 2014. His primary love is instrument building from concept to final installation and his current interests are the dimensional measurement of precision and additive manufactured structures.

Dynamic Treatment Regimes Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine

Dynamic Treatment Regimes Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine

Dynamic Treatment Regimes: Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical methodology for the evaluation and discovery of dynamic treatment regimes from data. Researchers and graduate students in statistics data science and related quantitative disciplines with a background in probability and statistical inference and popular statistical modeling techniques will be prepared for further study of this rapidly evolving field. A dynamic treatment regime is a set of sequential decision rules each corresponding to a key decision point in a disease or disorder process where each rule takes as input patient information and returns the treatment option he or she should receive. Thus a treatment regime formalizes how a clinician synthesizes patient information and selects treatments in practice. Treatment regimes are of obvious relevance to precision medicine which involves tailoring treatment selection to patient characteristics in an evidence-based way. Of critical importance to precision medicine is estimation of an optimal treatment regime one that if used to select treatments for the patient population would lead to the most beneficial outcome on average. Key methods for estimation of an optimal treatment regime from data are motivated and described in detail. A dedicated companion website presents full accounts of application of the methods using a comprehensive R package developed by the authors. The authors’ website www. dtr-book. com includes updates corrections new papers and links to useful websites. | Dynamic Treatment Regimes Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine

Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Despite the fact that crystals make up an estimated 80% of chemical and pharmaceutical products few resources exist that provide practical guidance on achieving precision control of their size and size distribution. Based on a model developed by the author and his colleagues Precision Crystallization: Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size presents scientists and product engineers with the tools to control crystal nucleation enabling them to ultimately control crystal size and size distribution for batch and continuous crystallizations. At the cutting edge of crystallization science and technology this volume presents information never before available. Introducing the Balanced Nucleation and Growth (BNG) model the book demonstrates how the results of the nucleation process are quantitatively related to practical experimental control values such as:reaction addition ratecrystal solubilitytemperatureresidence time (continuous crystallizations)the effect of ripening agents (crystal supersizing) during nucleationthe effect of crystal growth restrainers (crystal nanosizing) during nucleationcontrol of renucleationThe author shows how the BNG theory predicts previously unknown phenomena and also how it corrects erroneous perceptions of the importance of reaction volume on the outcome of crystal nucleation. Going above and beyond classical nucleation theories which rely to a large extent on guesswork the BNG model gives precise guidance to scientists working in a range of critical areas leading to promising implications for research quality control product development production processes pilot plant operations and manufacturing. | Precision Crystallization Theory and Practice of Controlling Crystal Size

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision agriculture (PA) involves the application of technologies and agronomic principles to manage spatial and temporal variation associated with all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. The focus of this book is to introduce a non-specialist audience to the the role of PA in food security environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources as well as its economic benefits. The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized without waste or damage to the environment such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy. The book shows how farmers can place sustainability of the environment at the centre of their operations and that this is improved with the application of PA. The range of topics described includes sampling and mapping weed and pest control proximal and remote sensing spatio-temporal analysis for improving management management zones and water management. These are illustrated with case studies on sampling and mapping biofuels from sugar cane and maize paddy rice cultivation and cotton production.

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

This book examines why the United States has introduced safeguards that are designed to prevent their counterterrorism policies from causing harm to non-US citizens beyond US territory. It investigates what made US policymakers take steps to put the gloves back on through five case studies on the emergence of such safeguards related to the right not to be tortured the right not to be arbitrarily detained the right to life (in connection with targeted killing operations) the right to seek asylum (in connection with refugee resettlement) and the right to privacy (in connection with foreign mass surveillance). The book exposes two mechanisms – coercion and strategic learning – which explain why the United States has introduced what the authors refer to as extraterritorial human rights safeguards thus demonstrating that the emerging norm that states have human rights obligations towards foreigners beyond their borders constrains policy choices. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights counterterrorism US foreign policy human rights law and more broadly to political science and international relations.
