Multiscale Structural Topology Optimization discusses the development of a multiscale design framework for topology optimization of multiscale nonlinear structures. With the intention to alleviate the heavy computational burden of the design framework, the authors present a POD-based adaptive surrogate model for the RVE solutions at the microscopic scale and make a step further towards the design of multiscale elastoviscoplastic structures.

Various optimization methods for structural size, shape, and topology designs have been developed and widely employed in engineering applications. Topology optimization has been recognized as one of the most effective tools for least weight and performance design, especially in aeronautics and aerospace engineering.

This book focuses on the simultaneous design of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials. In this model, the material microstructures are optimized in response to the macroscopic solution, which results in the nonlinearity of the equilibrium problem of the interface of the two scales. The authors include a reduce database model from a set of numerical experiments in the space of effective strain.

• Presents the first attempts towards topology optimization design of nonlinear highly heterogeneous structures
• Helps with simultaneous design of the topologies of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials
• Helps with development of computer codes for the designs of nonlinear structures and of materials with extreme constitutive properties
• Focuses on the simultaneous design of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials
• Includes a reduce database model from a set of numerical experiments in the space of effective strain

People today use technology on different devices in different locations. Users expect to access information on all relevant screens and across multiple channels through smartphones, tablets, laptops/desktops, smart (internet-connected) TVs, and other devices, such as smartwatches for example. Multiscreen is no longer a nice add-on, it’s a requirement. In this environment, user experience needs to cater to multiple devices.

This book provides a holistic approach that will help UX professionals to offer a hands-on guide for UX design across multiple screens. It presents an opportunity to learn how to cater designs for customers. Readers will find patterns, strategies, examples and case studies, methodologies, and insights to help inspire them to develop a viable strategy for their own digital products and services. UX professionals will walk through important elements of multiscreen UX:

• Investigating the devices and their capabilities
• Understanding the users and their capabilities
• Considering the context in which users use these devices
• Navigating next generation information experiences and the future of content management
• Designing content and UI architecture for multiscreen projects

• A hands-on, practical guide to UX design for how users approach content – across more than one screen at a time
• Discusses devices, users, and their practices
• Includes best practices, real-world examples, and tips and tricks
• A preface written by Scott Jenson

Systems and control theory has experienced significant development in the past few decades. New techniques have emerged which hold enormous potential for industrial applications, and which have therefore also attracted much interest from academic researchers. However, the impact of these developments on the process industries has been limited.

The purpose of Multivariable System Identification for Process Control is to bridge the gap between theory and application, and to provide industrial solutions, based on sound scientific theory, to process identification problems. The book is organized in a reader-friendly way, starting with the simplest methods, and then gradually introducing more complex techniques. Thus, the reader is offered clear physical insight without recourse to large amounts of mathematics. Each method is covered in a single chapter or section, and experimental design is explained before any identification algorithms are discussed. The many simulation examples and industrial case studies demonstrate the power and efficiency of process identification, helping to make the theory more applicable. Matlab^™ M-files, designed to help the reader to learn identification in a computing environment, are included.

Municipal Wastewater in Agriculture covers the proceedings of the 1980 International Conference on the Status of Knowledge, Critical Research Needs, and Potential Research Facilities Relating to the Cooperative Research Needs for Renovation and Reuse of Municipal Wastewater in Agriculture, held in Cocoyoc, Morelos, Mexico. Primary participated by Mexico and United States, both have large area with water shortages, the conference focuses on renovation and reuse of wastewater by agricultural irrigation, along with construction designs, operational guidelines, and data for these systems.
Organized into six parts encompassing 20 chapters, the book covers the nature, distribution, and fate of viruses, bacteria, and pathogenic organisms, as well as organic and inorganic contamination of municipal water systems. Parts I and II tackle the administrative and legal aspects of wastewater renovation and reuse and reuse alternatives for municipal wastewater. Parts III and V discuss the efforts of Mexico and United States in land treatment and in water quality system, along with design and cost criteria for land treatment systems. Part IV examines pathogen and heavy metal contaminants in municipal wastewater. Finally, research needs related to municipal wastewater renovation and reuse in arid and semiarid areas and in domestic wastewater are discussed in the concluding section.
The book aims to assist in the assessment of land treatment system capacity for wastewater renovation for various types of reuse.

Ideal for fellows and practicing pulmonologists who need an authoritative, comprehensive reference on all aspects of pulmonary medicine, Murray and Nadel’s Textbook of Respiratory Medicine offers the most definitive content on basic science, diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of the full spectrum of respiratory diseases. Included with your print purchase is the Expert Consult eBook version, which offers content updates, videos, review questions, and Thoracic Imaging Cases (TICs), all of which are easily navigable on any device for access on rounds or in the clinic. The embedded videos cover thoracoscopy, therapeutic bronchoscopy, volumetric chest CT scans, and more, while brand-new audio files highlight normal and abnormal breath sounds and the separate components of cough.

Muscidae es una de las familias más diversas dentro de los dípteros caliptrados y presenta hábitos extremadamente variados. La mayoría de sus larvas son carroñeras y tienen un profundo impacto en los ecosistemas ya que contribuyen a la descomposición de la materia orgánica. Este trabajo estable el inventario de especies para la provincia de Buenos Aires listando 40 especies distribuidas en 24 géneros. Paralelamente se aumenta la distribución de las especies presentes en la provincia en todo el país. Se proporciona la redescripción de cuatro especies y se aporta un clave con carácteres diagnósticos. Se describe la dinámica de fl uctuación anual, preferencia por cebos y microhábitats de las especies más abundantes presentes en un gradiente de urbanización del Partido de Almirante Brown, asi como las características de sinantropía en un período de dos años. Se caracteriza a las familias de dípteros caliptrados respecto de su elenco específi co, abundancia y riqueza en distintos espacios verdes de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, estableciendo patrones de abundancia y riqueza del ensamble respecto de los tipos de cebos utilizados y de los microambientes en un período de un año. Se obtiene el inventario preliminar de las especies de dípteros caliptrados en la Reserva Natural Estricta Otamendi y se caracteriza a las comunidades de dípteros en términos de composición y riqueza de taxa en dos ambientes con distinta composición vegetal. Se observó una tendencia general en la preferencia de las especies de Muscidae por los ambientes de sombra, ya sea proporcionado de manera artifi cial en los espacios urbanizados o en las áreas boscosas de los ambientes naturales y se observó una mayor riqueza sobre los cebos de heces respecto de los animales en descomposición (hígado y vísceras de pollo).
