Numerical Solutions Applied to Heat Transfer with the SPH Method: A Verification of Approximations for Speed and Accuracy (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)
by Luciano Pereira da Silva Messias Meneguette Junior Carlos Henrique MarchiThis book offers an in-depth verification of numerical solutions for differential equations modeling heat transfer phenomena, where the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used to discretize the mathematical models. Techniques described in this book aim to speed up the convergence of numerical solutions and increase their accuracy by significantly reducing the discretization error.In their quest, the authors shed light on new sources of numerical error that are specific to the SPH method and, through them, they identify the characteristics of the solutions influenced by such errors. The accuracy of numerical solutions is also improved with the application of advanced tools like the repeated Richardson extrapolation (RRE) in quadruple precision, which was adapted to consider fixed or moving particles. The book finishes with the conclusion that the qualitative and quantitative verification of numerical solutions through coherence tests and metrics are currently a methodology of excellence to treat computational heat transfer problems.Mathematicians in applied fields and engineers modelling and solving real physical phenomena can greatly benefit from this work, as well as any reader interested in numerical methods for differential equations.

Numerische technische Optimierung: Anwendung des Computeralgebrasystems Maxima
by Andreas Öchsner Resam MakvandiDiese Studienhilfe zu numerischen Optimierungsverfahren richtet sich an Studierende des Maschinenbaus im Grundstudium und im Hauptstudium. Optimierungsverfahren gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung für den Leichtbau, wo eine Gewichtsreduzierung z.B. im Automobilbau oder in der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie zu einem geringeren Kraftstoffverbrauch und einer entsprechenden Senkung der Betriebskosten sowie zu positiven Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt führen kann. Basierend auf dem freien Computeralgebrasystem Maxima stellen die Autoren Verfahren zur numerischen Lösung ingenieurmathematischer Probleme sowie Anwendungen aus traditionellen Lehrveranstaltungen zur Festigkeit von Werkstoffen vor. Die mechanischen Theorien konzentrieren sich auf die typischen eindimensionalen Strukturelemente, d.h. Federn, Stäbe und Euler-Bernoulli-Balken, um die Komplexität des numerischen Rahmens zu reduzieren und den resultierenden Entwurf auf eine geringe Anzahl von Variablen zu beschränken. Die Verwendung eines Computeralgebrasystems und der darin enthaltenen Funktionen, z. B. für Ableitungen oder Gleichungslösungen, ermöglicht eine stärkere Konzentration auf die Methodik der Optimierungsverfahren und nicht auf Standardverfahren.Das Buch enthält auch zahlreiche Beispiele, darunter einige, die mit Hilfe eines grafischen Ansatzes gelöst werden können, um dem Leser ein besseres Verständnis der Computerimplementierung zu vermitteln.

Nursery Earth: The Wondrous Lives Of Baby Animals And The Extraordinary Ways They Shape Our World
by Danna StaafFrom the author of Monarchs of the Sea, a first-of-its-kind journey into the hidden world of baby animals—hailed as “a gobsmacking delight!” (Sy Montgomery, New York Times–bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus) It’s time to pay attention to baby animals. From egg to tadpole, chick to fledgling, they offer scientists a window into questions of immense importance: How do genes influence health? Which environmental factors support—or obstruct—life? Entire ecosystems rest on the shoulders (or tentacles, or jointed exoskeletons) of animal babies. At any given moment, babies represent the majority of animal life on Earth. In Nursery Earth, researcher Danna Staaf invites readers into the sibling (and, sometimes, clashing) fields of ecology and developmental biology. The tiny, hidden lives that these scientists study in the lab and in the wild reveal some of nature’s strangest workings: A salamander embryo breathes with the help of algae inside its cells. The young grub of a Goliath beetle dwarfs its parents. The spotted beak of a parasitic baby bird tricks adults of other species into feeding it. Mouse embryos can absorb cancerous cell grafts—and develop into healthy adults. Our bias toward adult animals (not least because babies can be hard to find) means these wonders have long gone under-researched. But for all kinds of animals, if we overlook their babies, we miss out on the most fascinating—and consequential—time in the lives of their species. Nursery Earth makes the case that these young creatures are not just beings in progress but beings in their own right. And our planet needs them all: the maggots as much as the kittens!

Nursing with a Message: Public Health Demonstration Projects in New York City
by Patricia D'AntonioMandated by the Affordable Care Act, public health demonstration projects have been touted as an innovative solution to the nation’s health care crisis. Yet, such projects actually have a long but little-known history, dating back to the 1920s. This groundbreaking new book reveals the key role that these local health programs—and the nurses who ran them—influenced how Americans perceived both their personal health choices and the well-being of their communities. Nursing with a Message transports readers to New York City in the 1920s and 1930s, charting the rise and fall of two community health centers, in the neighborhoods of East Harlem and Bellevue-Yorkville. Award-winning historian Patricia D’Antonio examines the day-to-day operations of these clinics, as well as the community outreach work done by nurses who visited schools, churches, and homes encouraging neighborhood residents to adopt healthier lifestyles, engage with preventive physical exams, and see to the health of their preschool children. As she reveals, these programs relied upon an often-contentious and fragile alliance between various healthcare providers, educators, social workers, and funding agencies, both public and private. Assessing both the successes and failures of these public health demonstration projects, D’Antonio also traces their legacy in shaping both the best and worst elements of today’s primary care system.
Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination And Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, And Future
by Riane Eisler Douglas P. FryNurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. <p><p> Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and man over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. <p> Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socio-economic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this impacts nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today's ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. A more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.
Nurturing the Older Brain and Mind
by Pamela M. Greenwood Raja ParasuramanAlthough our physical abilities clearly decline as we age, cognitive decline in healthy old age is neither universal nor inevitable. In Nurturing the Older Brain, Pamela Greenwood and Raja Parasuraman show that scientific research does not support the popular notion of the inexorable and progressive effects of cognitive aging in all older adults. They report that many adults maintain a high level of cognitive function into old age and that certain experiential and lifestyle factors--including education, exercise, diet, and opportunities for new learning--contribute to the preservation of cognitive abilities. Many popular accounts draw similar conclusions and give similar lifestyle advice but lack supporting scientific evidence. Greenwood and Parasuraman offer a comprehensive review of research on cognitive and brain aging. They show that even the aged brain remains capable of plasticity--the ability to adapt to and benefit from experience--and they summarize evidence that brain plasticity is heightened by certain types of cognitive training, by aerobic exercise, and by certain diets. They also report on the somewhat controversial use of estrogen and cognition-enhancing drugs, on environmental adaptations (including "virtual assistants") that help older adults "age in place," and on genetic factors in cognitive aging. The past twenty years of research points to ways that older adults can lead rich and cognitively vital lives. As millions of baby boomers head toward old age, Greenwood and Parasuraman's accessible book could not be more timely.
