Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Contemporary design in engineering and industry relies heavily on computer simulation and efficient algorithms to reduce the cost and to maximize the performance and sustainability as well as profits and energy efficiency. Solving an optimization problem correctly and efficiently requires not only the right choice of optimization algorithms and simulation methods, but also the proper implementation and insight into the problem of interest. This book consists of ten self-contained, detailed case studies of real-world optimization problems, selected from a wide range of applications and contributed from worldwide experts who are working in these exciting areas.Optimization topics and applications include gas and water supply networks, oil field production optimization, microwave engineering, aerodynamic shape design, environmental emergence modelling, structural engineering, waveform design for radar and communication systems, parameter estimation in laser experiment and measurement, engineering materials and network scheduling. These case studies have been solved using a wide range of optimization techniques, including particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, artificial bee colony, harmony search, adaptive error control, derivative-free pattern search, surrogate-based optimization, variable-fidelity modelling, as well as various other methods and approaches. This book is a practical guide to help graduates and researchers to carry out optimization for real-world applications. More advanced readers will also find it a helpful reference and aide memoire.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 288 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining worldwide importance.¿Bacteria in Agrobiology: Plant Growth Responses¿ describes the application of various bacteria in plant growth promotion and protection, including symbiotic, free living, rhizospheric, endophytic, methylotrophic, diazotrophic and filamentous species.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 384 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This monograph contains recent studies in eco-informatics, promising ideasand new challenges in information management for supporting sustainability incompanies and other organization. The scope of this book includes sets ofsolutions which show different stakeholders¿ viewpoints on sustainability. In individual chapters, authors discuss the role which EnvironmentalInformation Systems (EIS) play in the environmental conscious functioning ofenterprise. New models, methods and tools supporting sustainability arepresented. Emphasis is placed on the innovative approach to eco-friendlyorganization and coordination of transport, logistics processes and operationsmanagement. The information management and decision making inmanufacturing and service organizations is highlighted.The scope of this monograph also encompasses topics related to the modelingand monitoring of climate change.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 820 pp. Englisch.
