An urgent study of the history, science and existential dangers of Artificial Intelligence, named by Elon Musk as one of the five books everyone should read about the future.

The second expanded and updated edition of a bestselling book that presents the world's most expensive watches.

Dit handboek is het eerste werk dat de onderwerpen pompen en compressoren bundelt en op encyclopedische manier benadert. In samenwerking met bedrijven, ingenieurs en technici geeft de auteur een helder overzicht van alle toestellen die op de markt zijn. De talloze kleurenfoto’s en figuren werpen een duidelijk licht op hun toepassingen en eigenschappen. Ten slotte komen ook de correcte terminologie en het wiskundige luik van de werking op overzichtelijke wijze aan bod. Pompen & compresso...

Designed for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate courses in semiconductor or microelectronic fabrication, Fabrication Engineering at the Micro- and Nanoscale, Fourth Edition, covers the entire basic unit processes used to fabricate integrated circuits and other devices.

Acoustics and Noise Control provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control. Since the last edition was published in 1996 there have been many changes and additions to standards, laws and regulations, codes of practice relating to noise, and in noise measurement techniques and noise control technology so this new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and requ...

For one-semester, undergraduate-level courses in Optoelectronics and Photonics, in the departments of electrical engineering, engineering physics, and materials science and engineering. This text takes a fresh look at the enormous developments in electo-optic devices and associated materials-such as Pockels (Lithium Niobate) modulators.

Pinch Analysis for Energy and Carbon Footprint Reduction is the only dedicated pinch analysis and process integration guide, covering a breadth of material from foundational knowledge to in-depth processes. Readers are introduced to the main concepts of pinch analysis, the calculation of energy targets for a given process, the pinch temperature, and the golden rules of pinch-based design to meet energy targets. More advanced topics include the extraction of stream data necessary for a pinch a...

Chemical reaction engineering is concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. Ita s goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types.

Simple ideas are treated first, and are then extended to the more complex.
