Free DownloadAlireza Hajian, "Intelligent Methods with Applications in Volcanology and Seismology "
English | ISBN: 3031154312 | 2023 | 220 pages | EPUB | 99 MB
This book presents intelligent methods like neural, neuro-fuzzy, machine learning, deep learning and metaheuristic methods and their applications in both volcanology and seismology. The complex system of volcanoes and also earthquakes is a big challenge to identify their behavior using available models, which motivates scientists to apply non-model based methods. As there are lots of seismology and volcanology data sets, i.e., the local and global networks, one solution is using intelligent methods in which data-based algorithms are used.
Free DownloadRobert Nzengwa, "Plate and Shell Models: Variational Methods in Plate and Shell Theory"
English | ISBN: 9819727790 | 2025 | 309 pages | EPUB | 35 MB
This book presents, in a variational form, very many two dimensional models which have been developed to overcome some weaknesses of the Kirchhoff-Love and Reissner-Mindlin’s models. More precisely the N-T and N models are particularly treated because they clearly show the impact of the change in the third fundamental form whose contribution to the strain energy becomes important when the characteristic ratio of the shell is roughly greater than 0.3. Transverse stresses through-the-thickness are calculated. Gradient Recovery and Strain deformation approach with Curve triangular and Shifted Lagrange elements are implemented. These new FEM appear to be memory less greedy.

English | ISBN: 1071637282 | 2025 | 333 pages | EPUB | 39 MB
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with new and updated chapters that explore our current view on plastid evolution, structure, and function. The chapters in this book are organized into three parts and cover topics such as plastid evolution, plasticity, and functional and structural diversity; techniques used to visualize, fractionate, purify, and study primary plastids from plant materials, and secondary plastids; and methods to analyze plastids by integrated biology strategies based on genetics, genomics, proteomics, and lipidomics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
