Springer International Publishing AG Brewing Science: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Book SynopsisThis text finally collects all the introductory aspects of beer brewing science into one place for undergraduate brewing science courses. This expansive and detailed work is written in conversational style, walking students through all the brewing basics from the origin and history of beer to the brewing process to post-brew packaging and quality control and assurance. As an introductory text, this book assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of brewing science and only limited experience with chemistry, biology and physics. The text provides students with all the necessary details of brewing science using a multidisciplinary approach, with a thorough and well-defined program of in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems. As students solve these problems, they will learn how scientists think about beer and brewing and develop a critical thinking approach to addressing concerns in brewing science. As a truly comprehensive introduction to brewing science, Brewing Science: A Multidisciplinary Approach walks students through the entire spectrum of the brewing process. The different styles of beer, the molecular makeup and physical parameters, and how those are modified to provide different flavors are listed. All aspects of the brewery process, from the different setup styles to sterility to the presentation of the final product, are outlined in full. All the important brewing steps and techniques are covered in meticulous detail, including malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting and conditioning. Bringing the brewing process full circle, this text covers packaging aspects for the final product as well, focusing on everything from packaging technology to quality control. Students are also pointed to the future, with coverage of emerging flavor profiles, styles and brewing methods. Each chapter in this textbook includes a sample of related laboratory exercises designed to develop a student’s capability to critically think about brewing science. These exercises assume that the student has limited or no previous experience in the laboratory.

Springer International Publishing AG Hybrid Systems, Optimal Control and Hybrid Vehicles: Theory, Methods and Applications
Book SynopsisThis book assembles new methods showing the automotive engineer for the first time how hybrid vehicle configurations can be modeled as systems with discrete and continuous controls. These hybrid systems describe naturally and compactly the networks of embedded systems which use elements such as integrators, hysteresis, state-machines and logical rules to describe the evolution of continuous and discrete dynamics and arise inevitably when modeling hybrid electric vehicles. They can throw light on systems which may otherwise be too complex or recondite.Hybrid Systems, Optimal Control and Hybrid Vehicles shows the reader how to formulate and solve control problems which satisfy multiple objectives which may be arbitrary and complex with contradictory influences on fuel consumption, emissions and drivability. The text introduces industrial engineers, postgraduates and researchers to the theory of hybrid optimal control problems. A series of novel algorithmic developments provides tools for solving engineering problems of growing complexity in the field of hybrid vehicles.Important topics of real relevance rarely found in text books and research publications—switching costs, sensitivity of discrete decisions and there impact on fuel savings, etc.—are discussed and supported with practical applications. These demonstrate the contribution of optimal hybrid control in predictive energy management, advanced powertrain calibration, and the optimization of vehicle configuration with respect to fuel economy, lowest emissions and smoothest drivability. Numerical issues such as computing resources, simplifications and stability are treated to enable readers to assess such complex systems. To help industrial engineers and managers with project decision-making, solutions for many important problems in hybrid vehicle control are provided in terms of requirements, benefits and risks.Table of ContentsPart I Introduction.- Introduction.- Modeling of Hybrid Vehicles as Cyber-physical Systems.- Optimal Control Preliminaries.- Problem Formulation.- Part II Numerical Solutions.- Optimal Control Solutions Using Indirect Methods.- Optimal Control Solutions Using Direct Methods.- Numerical Algorithms.- Part III Applications.- Advanced Applications.- Predictive Real-time Energy Management.- CO2 Management.

Springer International Publishing AG Farming, Famine and Plague: The Impact of Climate in Late Medieval England
Book SynopsisThis book is situated at the cross-roads of environmental, agricultural and economic history and climate science. It investigates the climatic background for the two most significant risk factors for life in the crisis-prone England of the Later Middle Ages: subsistence crisis and plague. Based on documentary data from eastern England, the late medieval growing season temperature is reconstructed and the late summer precipitation of that period indexed. Using these data, and drawing together various other regional (proxy) data and a wide variety of contemporary documentary sources, the impact of climatic variability and extremes on agriculture, society and health are assessed. Vulnerability and resilience changed over time: before the population loss in the Great Pestilence in the mid-fourteenth century meteorological factors contributing to subsistence crises were the main threat to the English people, after the arrival of Yersinia pestis it was the weather conditions that faciliated the formation of recurrent major plague outbreaks.Agriculture and harvest success in late medieval England were inextricably linked to both short term weather extremes and longer term climatic fluctuations. In this respect the climatic transition period in the Late Middle Ages (c. 1250-1450) is particularly important since the broadly favourable conditions for grain cultivation during the Medieval Climate Optimum gave way to the Little Ice Age, when agriculture was faced with many more challenges; the fourteenth century in particular was marked by high levels of climatic variability.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer International Publishing AG War in Space: The Science and Technology Behind
Book SynopsisWith the recent influx of spaceflight and satellite launches, the region of outer space has become saturated with vital technology used for communication and surveillance and the functioning of business and government. But what would happen if these capabilities were disrupted or even destroyed? How would we react if faced with a full-scale blackout of satellite communications? What can and has happened following the destruction of a satellite? In the short term, the aftermath would send thousands of fragments orbiting Earth as space debris. In the longer term, the ramifications of such an event on Earth and in space would be alarming, to say the least. This book takes a look at such crippling scenarios and how countries around the world might respond in their wake. It describes the aggressive actions that nations could take and the technologies that could be leveraged to gain power and control over assets, as well as to initiate war in the theater of outer space. The ways that a country's vital capabilities could be disarmed in such a setting are investigated. In addition, the book discusses our past and present political climate, including which countries currently have these abilities and who the aggressive players already are. Finally, it addresses promising research and space technology that could be used to protect us from those interested in destroying the world's vital systems.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Bentonithandbuch: Ringspaltschmierung für den Rohrvortrieb
Book SynopsisDer Rohrvortrieb ist ein Bauverfahren zur grabenloser Verlegung von Leitungen. Ein erfolgreicher Vortrieb erfordert eine geringe Mantelreibung zwischen Baugrund und Vortriebsrohr. Dies wird über eine Bentonitschmierung erreicht. Das im Ringspalt eingebrachte Bentonit erfüllt hierbei mehrere Aufgaben. Zunächst stabilisiert es den Ringspalt durch Stützung des Untergrunds und soll damit den direkten Kontakt Untergrund zu Vortriebsrohr vermeiden. Zusätzlich verringert es als Schmiermittel die Reibung zwischen Untergrund und Rohrstrang. Dieses Handbuch behandelt nahezu alle Aspekte der Ringraumschmierung. Angefangen von den für die Schmierung maßgeblichen Untergrundbedingungen, über die Eigenschaften des Bentonits bis hin zu den technischen Aspekten. Dabei sind zu nennen die Handhabung des Messequipments, der richtige Einsatz der Mischausrüstung und der Quelltanks, Details über den Einsatz des automatischen Bentonitschmiersystems sowie Berechnungen und Vorschlagswerte über Bentonitverbrauchsmengen in Abhängigkeit von Untergrund und Vortriebsmaschinengröße.Table of ContentsListe der verwendeten Symbole XV I.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Bauphysik-Kalender 2023: Schwerpunkt:
Book SynopsisDie aktuelle Ausgabe des Bauphysik-Kalenders behandelt das gesamte Themenspektrum rund um Nachhaltigkeit bei der Errichtung von Gebäuden. Die Bauindustrie ist der Sektor, der in der Wirtschaft für die höchsten Umweltbelastungen verantwortlich ist. Integrierte Maßnahmen für mehr Klimaschutz und Ressourceneffizienz im Bausektor sind daher ein zentrales Thema der Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitspolitik. Die Regulierung zur Energieeinsparung hat bereits dazu geführt, dass der Primärenergiebedarf in der Nutzungsphase von Gebäuden immer weiter reduziert wurde. Es ist nun unabdingbar, die Bewertung von Gebäuden auf die Umweltwirkung und die Auswirkung auf das Klima auszuweiten. In diesem Buch werden die Lebenszyklusanalyse, die Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung sowie die kreislaufgerechte Verwendung von Bauelementen, Baustoffen und Anlagenteilen umfassend erläutert. Konkretes Hintergrundwissen für klimagerechtes Bauen, für die Ermittlung der Ressourceneffizienz, das Recycling von Dämmstoffen, die Ökobilanzierung und die Zertifizierung werden anhand von Praxisbeispielen aufgezeigt, um Planenden das nötige Rüstzeug für die aktuellen Aufgaben an die Hand zu geben. Auch die Betrachtung von Klima-Fußabdruck und Ressourcen-Fußabdruck mithilfe eines digitalen Gebäudemodells bereits in der Planungsphase ist enthalten. Der Bauphysik-Kalender 2023 bietet eine solide Arbeitsgrundlage und ein verlässliches aktuelles Nachschlagewerk für die Planung in Neubau und Bestand, alle Kapitel bewegen sich nahe an der Ingenieurpraxis. Das Buch enthält Planungshinweise, Konzepte und Praxisbeispiele für nachhaltiges Bauen.
