Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Among the many expositions of G del's incompleteness theorems written for non-specialists, this book stands apart. With exceptional clarity, Franz n gives careful, non-technical explanations both of what those theorems say and, more importantly, what they do not. No other book aims, as his does, to address in detail the misunderstandings and abuses of the incompleteness theorems that are so rife in popular discussions of their significance. As an antidote to the many spurious appeals to incompleteness in theological, anti-mechanist and post-modernist debates, it is a valuable addition to the literature.' --- John W. Dawson, author of 'Logical Dilemmas: The Life and Work of Kurt G del'.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The ROI from Software Quality provides the tools needed for software engineers and project managers to calculate how much they should invest in quality, what benefits the investment will reap, and just how quickly those benefits will be realized. This text provides the quantitative models necessary for making real and reasonable calculations and it shows how to perform ROI analysis before and after implementing a quality program. The book demonstrates how to collect the appropriate data and easily perform the appropriate ROI analysis.Taking an evidence-based approach, this book supports its methodology with large amounts of data and backs up its positioning with numerous case studies and straightforward return-on-investment calculations. By carefully substantiating arguments, this volume separates itself from other works on ROI.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a thorough presentation of the formulation and application of the HHT in engineering. According to the Sept./Oct. 2006 issue of Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 'the book provides a balanced presentation of the HHT from various points of view depending on the application of interest and demonstrates the versatility and applicability of this numerical technique in various technical fields. It can be a valuable reference text for researchers and practitioners in the plethora of engineering fields that deal with the processing of nonstationary data sets and focus on extracting physically meaningful information while capturing the evolution of the corresponding processes in time or space.'.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The unique properties of elastomeric materials offer numerous advantages in many engineering applications. Elastomeric units are used as couplings or mountings between rigid components, for example in shock absorbers, vibration insulators, flexible joints, seals and suspensions, etc. However, the complicated nature of the behaviour of such material makes it difficult to accurately predict the performance of these units using finite element modelling, for example. It is imperative that constitutive models accurately capture relevant aspects of mechanical behaviour. The latest developments concerning constitutive modelling of rubber is collected in these Proceedings. Topics included in this volume are, Hyperelastic models, Strength, fracture & fatigue, Dynamic properties & the Fletcher-Gent effect, Micro-mechanical & statistical approaches, Stress softening, iscoelasticity, Filler reinforcement, and Tyres, fibre & cord reinforced rubber.
