Chemometrics in Spectroscopy, Second Edition, provides the reader with the methodology crucial to apply chemometrics to real world data. It allows scientists using spectroscopic instruments to find explanations and solutions to their problems when they are confronted with unexpected and unexplained results. Unlike other books on these topics, it explains the root causes of the phenomena that lead to these results. While books on NIR spectroscopy sometimes cover basic chemometrics, they do not mention many of the advanced topics this book discusses. In addition, traditional chemometrics books do not cover spectroscopy to the point of understanding the basis for the underlying phenomena. The second edition has been expanded with 50% more content covering advances in the field that have occurred in the last 10 years, including calibration transfer, units of measure in spectroscopy, principal components, clinical data reporting, classical least squares, regression models, spectral transfer, and more.

Cross Country Pipeline Risk Assessments and Mitigation Strategies describes the process of pipeline risk management and hazard identification, using qualitative risk assessment, consequence modeling/evaluation, pipeline failure rates, and risk calculations, as well as risk mitigation and control strategies. The book evaluates potential causes of pipeline failure in the oil and gas industry based on a wide range of data that cover more than 40 years of operating history. Additionally, it details a consistent approach that allows for proper estimation of potential risk and offers methods for mitigating this potential risk. This approach is then combined with consequence modeling to fully calculate the different forms of risk presented by pipelines. Cross Country Pipeline Risk Assessments and Mitigation Strategies is an essential resource for professionals and experts involved in pipeline design as well as researchers and students studying risk assessment, particularly in relation to pipelines.

MATLAB: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving, winner of TAA’s 2017 Textbook Excellence Award ("Texty"), guides the reader through both programming and built-in functions to easily exploit MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering and scientific problems. Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book starts with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and selection statements, moves on to loops, and then solves problems using both the programming concept and the power of MATLAB. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect the functionality of the current version of MATLAB (R2018a), including the addition of local functions in scripts, the new string type, coverage of recently introduced functions to import data from web sites, and updates to the Live Editor and App Designer.

Characterizing the Alteration of Ovoproducts Using New Analytical Approaches focuses on the capabilities (potential or proven) of the latest metabolomics based analytical approaches for the (early) diagnostic of the alteration of ovoproducts during their production/preservation processes. It details the ovoproduct matrix, their known sources of biotic and abiotic alteration, and their associated biomarkers. In addition, the book covers the capabilities (exploratory and characterization) of the latest metabolomics tecnics, both invasive and non-invasive, including chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, NMR, MS – including FTICR-MS –, and vibrational spectroscopy, such as Infrared – MIR, NIR – or Raman). In final sections, the next generation of online sensors derived from the latest technics is discussed for their applicative potential in industry (NIR, Raman, chromatography, benchmark NMR, and more).

Gestão da Inovação mais Radical é um dos tópicos mais relevantes para as organizações atualmente. Mais radical significa não apenas aquelas raras inovações muito disruptivas, mas também um grande conjunto de projetos de inovação envoltos em muitas incertezas, o que é muito comum tanto em empresas estabelecidas como em startups.O livro “Gestão da Inovação Mais Radical” é uma contribuição dos autores Mario Sergio Salerno e Leonardo A. de Vasconcelos Gomes útil para um desafio organizacional permanente e que foca no assunto de forma descomplicada, mas com rigor conceitual e metodológico, o que o faz ser indicado para profissionais e gestores em organizações, e para pesquisadores e alunos de graduação e pós-graduação. Também desenvolve um modelo de como gerenciar a inovação mais radical: o Hipercubo da Inovação. Baseados em anos de pesquisa e relação com empresas, no Brasil e no exterior, a obra apresenta como as empresas podem dominar a dinâmica da inovação mais radical, aprendendo a criar valor a partir da gestão de incertezas e da organização para inovar mais radicalmente.

Radar Propagation and Scattering in a Complex Maritime Environment addresses advanced numerical techniques used to significantly reduce the complexity and memory requirement for solving the linear system that results from the discretization of the boundary integral equations by the Method of Moments (MoM). Typically, the problem of the VHF wave scattering from an object above a rough sea surface in a ducting environment is investigated as is the HF radar propagation above the Earth in the presence of islands. Along with these topics, the book also covers rapid asymptotic theories, which are derived and compared with references methods based on the MoM.

Finite Physical Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamics: Complex Systems is the result of 30 years of teaching and research in the field of thermodynamics of systems and processes. It starts from FTT during the seventies (and P Chambadal approach in France), but also includes the equilibrium thermodynamics from Carnot and TPIL from Onsager. The book shows that thermodynamics proposes more realistic results than those obtained from equilibrium thermodynamics. Focusing on a multidisciplinary approach that characterizes thermodynamics, particularly the connection between transfer phenomena and conversion of energy, the book is ideal for those in industry.
