Advanced Metaprogramming in Classic C++
by Davide Di GennaroTake a detailed and intense look into template metaprogramming (TMP) using classic C++. Tackle language aspects, design patterns, examples and applications, with special emphasis on small reusable techniques that will improve the quality of daily work. Advanced Metaprogramming in Classic C++: Third Edition is a book to sit with and learn from. Users of its prior editions point out that they come back to it over and over. This edition enhances the readability and clarity of the discussion. The two newer standards are not used in the code so that the examples can be rich, illustrate the point, and be run with confidence. The code can be readily adapted to include the elements of the Modern C++ standards. The gain for the reader is that TMP is presented in the book as a set of techniques that will enable a new style to your C++ coding while making it exceptionally clear and efficient. The approach in the book is used to maximize compatibility and clearly illustrate the techniques, enabling the reader to comprehend difficult material without the burdens of compiler errors, and other unnecessary complexities and enabling a much more intense treatment of the subject. For those interested in Modern C++, all subsequent additions to the C++ language are fully compatible with the code in this book and users familiar with them can leverage the techniques introduced in C++XX to make the patterns in this book even more powerful. There is a chapter that discusses issues regarding the two newer standards and the basics needed to program for the newer standards are readily available online. What makes the book exceptional is the level of understanding of the concepts involved imparted by the author. This is not just a rote overview of metaprogramming. You will truly understand difficult topics like static assertions, how to write metafunctions, overload resolution, lambda expressions, and many others. More than that, you will work through them with practical examples guided by the author's frank explanations. This book requires you to think and to learn and to understand the language so that you can program at a higher level. What you'll learn What templates and the small object toolkit are, and how to use them How to do overload resolution How to do metaprogramming with interfaces, algorithms, functors and refactoring How to work with code generators What is opaque type principle and how to use it How to work with debugging templates and more A chapter devoted to issues surrounding C++0x and C++14 Who this book is for This book is for experienced C++ programmers who want to learn more.

Advanced Methods of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Modeling (Green Energy and Technology)
by Jarosław Milewski Pierluigi Leone Massimo Santarelli Konrad ŚwirskiFuel cells are widely regarded as the future of the power and transportation industries. Intensive research in this area now requires new methods of fuel cell operation modeling and cell design. Typical mathematical models are based on the physical process description of fuel cells and require a detailed knowledge of the microscopic properties that govern both chemical and electrochemical reactions. Advanced Methods of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Modeling proposes the alternative methodology of generalized artificial neural networks (ANN) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) modeling. Advanced Methods of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Modeling provides a comprehensive description of modern fuel cell theory and a guide to the mathematical modeling of SOFCs, with particular emphasis on the use of ANNs. Up to now, most of the equations involved in SOFC models have required the addition of numerous factors that are difficult to determine. The artificial neural network (ANN) can be applied to simulate an object's behavior without an algorithmic solution, merely by utilizing available experimental data. The ANN methodology discussed in Advanced Methods of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Modeling can be used by both researchers and professionals to optimize SOFC design. Readers will have access to detailed material on universal fuel cell modeling and design process optimization, and will also be able to discover comprehensive information on fuel cells and artificial intelligence theory.
