Dear reader! In your hand you have the second book from the series “XXI Century Techno- gies. ” The first book under the title “Manufacturing Technologies for Machines of the Future” was published by “Springer” in 2003. This book is aimed at solving one of the basic problems in the development of modern machine-building – working out of technologies and manufacturing equipment which would promote the continuous development and improvement of the final product design, rapidly “adaptable” to the requirements of the market as for the quantity, quality, and variety of products manufactured with the lowest cost and minimum time and labor of the product process. In this book the problems of theory and practice of development in the reconfigurable manufacturing systems and transformable factories for various machine-building branches with a focus on automotive industry are discussed. The problems concerning the development of a new class of production systems which in comparison to the flexible manufact- ing systems are composed of a far less quantity of machine-tools (reduced cost of production) are discussed. In comparison to the conventional automated lines (dedicated systems) they make it possible to rapidly transform the equipment for new products manufacturing. The book has some advantages concerning the art of scientific ideas and the presentation of developments.
Focusing on writers such as Phillis Wheatley, Benjamin Franklin, Samson Occum, Charles Brockden Brown, and others, Transformable Race tells the story of how early Americans imagined, contributed to, and challenged the ways that one's racial identity could be formed in the time of the nation's founding.
For modern architects experimentation with space and the house plan provides the most fertile area of innovation, allowing them to push established boundaries and question received conventions in domestic design. As we enter the 21st century, the incorporation of greater flexibility into housing has become a matter of urgency. The traditional notion of the family unit is being exploded. Small domestic groupings have become dispersed, with the fragmentation of familites and more people choosing to live alone. At the same time, the pressure put on space by multiple marriages and extended families means that the requirements for our home are never still, as they constantly expand and contract. The conventional layout for suburban housing can no longer sustain or cater for changing social needs. This Architectural Design title fully explores the concept of transformability in house design. Through a set of introductory essays by Iain Borden, Catherine Croft, James Gallie, Dennis Sharp, Stefan Muthesius and Miles Glendinning, the roots of this phenomenon are examined in 20th-century design. It is, however, through the eleven case studies of contemporary architects' projects that the concept of transformability is stretched to its full. It is revealed to mean many things - the integration of technology into the home, the use of modular systems to facilitate construction and planning and the development of complex devices for modifying and customising architectural space on a day-to-day basis.
Fourier analysis is one of the most useful and widely employed sets of tools for the engineer, the scientist, and the applied mathematician. As such, students and practitioners in these disciplines need a practical and mathematically solid introduction to its principles. They need straightforward verifications of its results and formulas, and they need clear indications of the limitations of those results and formulas. Principles of Fourier Analysis furnishes all this and more. It provides a comprehensive overview of the mathematical theory of Fourier analysis, including the development of Fourier series, "classical" Fourier transforms, generalized Fourier transforms and analysis, and the discrete theory. Much of the author's development is strikingly different from typical presentations. His approach to defining the classical Fourier transform results in a much cleaner, more coherent theory that leads naturally to a starting point for the generalized theory. He also introduces a new generalized theory based on the use of Gaussian test functions that yields an even more general -yet simpler -theory than usually presented. Principles of Fourier Analysis stimulates the appreciation and understanding of the fundamental concepts and serves both beginning students who have seen little or no Fourier analysis as well as the more advanced students who need a deeper understanding. Insightful, non-rigorous derivations motivate much of the material, and thought-provoking examples illustrate what can go wrong when formulas are misused. With clear, engaging exposition, readers develop the ability to intelligently handle the more sophisticated mathematics that Fourier analysis ultimately requires.
Avoid the deadly pitfalls that doom 70 percent of complex business transformations, with this easy-to-read and actionable roadmap to success. Never dull and extremely useful, TransformAble is for business transformation leaders who have no time to waste. Transformation is not easy. It’s complex, scary, and fraught with political and economic peril. Businesses stand to lose a lot, and many of them do. According to McKinsey, 70 percent of business transformations fail. Yet, business transformation is not optional, if an organization wants to survive. The world is constantly changing, and sooner or later something—disruptive technology, innovation, social change, major acquisitions, changing consumer behavior—will force an organization’s hand. Business transformation expert Angie Tuglus mines her decades of experience leading cross-function change and innovation initiatives at start-ups, Fortune 10 companies, and government agencies to write TransformAble. The result is a carefully honed five-phase framework for transforming high-level, visionary concepts into sustainable operating realities. Along the way, Tuglus illuminates the highest impact, and often least understood, aspects of successful transformation. This includes helping readers identify and avoid common pitfalls, as well as build thoughtful, engaging narratives that both keep the transformation on course and convince key players to believe and trust in the plan. Sharp, xkcd-style comics combine with the author’s wit, candor and deep expertise to make this book an entertaining page-turner as well as an indispensable guide, refreshing shift in tone from traditional, dry books on business transformation theory. Tuglus’s wealth of knowledge, straightforward approach, and sense of humor will help readers take ownership of their organization’s future—regardless of its size, industry, or product offering—and help them define, design, and execute lasting change. This may be the only book on business transformation that is fun to read and will leave readers better equipped to navigate the perils ahead.
This volume is a collection of invited papers on the theory of groups, most of which were presented at the biennial Ohio State-Denison Conference, May 1992, in memory of Hans Zassenhaus. These papers treat important topics in the theory of p-groups, solvable groups, finitely presented groups, arithmetic groups, monodromy groups and the general structure and representation theory of groups. Of particular note are papers by John Walter on root systems, by Leonard Scott on integral equivalence of permutation representations and Alex Turull on generalized Brauer groups.
In three comprehensive volumes, Logic of the Future presents a full panorama of Charles S. Peirce’s most important late writings. Among the most influential American thinkers, Peirce took his existential graphs to be a significant contribution to human thought. The manuscripts from 1895–1913, with many of them being published here for the first time, testify to the richness and open-endedness of his theory of logic and its applications. They also invite us to reconsider our ordinary conceptions of reasoning as well as the conventional stories concerning the evolution of modern logic. This first volume of Logic of the Future is on the historical development, theory and application of Peirce’s graphical method and diagrammatic reasoning. It also illustrates the abundant further developments and applications Peirce envisaged existential graphs to have on the analysis of mathematics, language, meaning and mind.
This book covers selected topics in geometry, algebra, calculus and probability theory. It contains the basic mathematical notions required by a first course in system theory for engineering and applied mathematics students. It is the first book to provide a self-contained and precise account of all the major mathematical methods and concepts relevant to the study of system theory.
In three comprehensive volumes, Logic of the Future presents a full panorama of Charles S. Peirce’s important late writings. Among the most influential American thinkers, Peirce took his existential graphs to be his greatest contribution to human thought.

They also invite us to reconsider our ordinary conceptions of reasoning as well as the conventional stories told about the evolution of modern logic. This second volume collects Peirce’s writings on existential graphs related to his Lowell Lectures of 1903, the annus mirabilis of his that became decisive in the development of the mature theory of the graphical method of logic.
