Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

The capability modeling and simulation (M&S) supplies for managing systems complexity and investigating systems behaviors has made it a central activity in the development of new and existing systems. However a handbook that provides established M&S practices has not been available. Until now. Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook details the M&S practices for supporting systems engineering in diverse domains. It discusses how you can identify systems engineering needs and adapt these practices to suit specific application domains thus avoiding redefining practices from scratch. Although M&S practices are used and embedded within individual disciplines they are often developed in isolation. However they address recurring problems common to all disciplines. The editors of this book tackled the challenge by recruiting key representatives from several communities harmonizing the different perspectives derived from individual backgrounds and lining them up with the book’s vision. The result is a collection of M&S systems engineering examples that offer an initial means for cross-domain capitalization of the knowledge methodologies and technologies developed in several communities. These examples provide the pros and cons of the methods and techniques available lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid. As our society moves further in the information era knowledge and M&S capabilities become key enablers for the engineering of complex systems and systems of systems. Therefore knowledge and M&S methodologies and technologies become valuable output in an engineering activity and their cross-domain capitalization is key to further advance the future practices in systems engineering. This book collates information across disciplines to provide you with the tools to more efficiently design and manage complex systems that achieve their goals.

The Peach Potato Aphid (Myzus persicae) Ecology and Management

The Peach Potato Aphid (Myzus persicae) Ecology and Management

Considered as economically significant pests with worldwide distribution aphids feed on hundreds of cultivated and ornamental plants and cause considerable economic loss on a global scale. The peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae is one of the most severe model aphid pests and successfully colonizes hundreds of plant species from 40 different families. It is a complex aphid pest known for its high reproductive rate biotype formation suppression of plant defenses and wide range of host plants. This book covers ecological aspects - including life cycle damage and host range - which make aphids an economically important pest. A wide range of topics are covered including ecological aspects of M. persicae; challenges with management approaches; damage; suppression of plant defenses; evolution; the mechanism of resistance against major classes of insecticides; the potential of biological control and natural plant-derived compounds (plant defense elicitors) as an alternative to the use of synthetic chemical insecticides to control M. persicae; and integrated pest management for M. persicae. As the peach-potato aphid is a model aphid pest studying it helps to develop control strategies against the entire group of aphids. Written for professionals as well as students teachers and researchers in the fields of entomology ecology and bioscience this book is an enriching new addition to its field. | The Peach Potato Aphid (Myzus persicae) Ecology and Management

Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

The quality and safety of food are crucial for human nutrition. However evaluating the chemical composition of food is challenging for the analyst and requires powerful methods. Chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS) is the gold standard for analyzing complex food samples including raw materials and intermediate and finished products. Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis covers the MS-based analysis of different aspects of food quality which include nutritional value profile of macronutrients (proteins lipids and carbohydrates) micronutrients (vitamins) and nutraceutical active compounds. Additionally sensory quality flavor food pigments safety and detection of pesticides contact materials veterinary drugs and pharmaceuticals organic pollutants and pathogens are covered. Key Features: Contains the basics of mass spectrometry and experimental strategies Explores determination of macro- and micronutrients Analyzes sensory and nutraceutical food quality Discusses detection of contaminants and proof of authenticity Presents emerging methods for food analysis This book contains an introductory section that explains the basics of MS and the difference between targeted and untargeted strategies for beginners. Further it points out new analytical challenges such as monitoring contaminants of emerging concern and presents innovative techniques (e. g. ambient ionization MS and data mining). Also available in the Food Analysis & Properties Series: Nanoemulsions in Food Technology: Development Characterization and Applications edited by Javed Ahmad and Leo M. L. Nollet (ISBN: 978-0-367-61492-8) Sequencing Technologies in Microbial Food Safety and Quality edited by Devarajan Thangadurai Leo M. L.

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences - Two-Vol. Set

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences - Two-Vol. Set

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to physics for undergraduate students in the life sciences including those majoring in all branches of biology biochemistry and psychology and students working on pre-professional programs such as pre-medical pre-dental and physical therapy. The text is geared for the algebra-based physics course often named College Physics in the United States. The order of topics studied are such that most of the problems in the text can be solved with the methods of Statics or Dynamics. That is they require a free body diagram the application of Newton’s Laws and any necessary kinematics. Constructing the text with a standardized problem-solving methodology simplifies this aspect of the course and allows students to focus on the application of physics to the study of biological systems. Along the way students apply these techniques to find the tension in a tendon the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in haemoglobin the torques and forces on a bacterium employing a flagellum to propel itself through a viscous fluid and the terminal velocity of a protein moving in a Gel Electrophoresis device. This is part one of a two-volume set; volume 2 introduces students to the conserved-quantities and applies these problem-solving techniques to topics in Thermodynamics Electrical Circuits Optics and Atomic and Nuclear Physics always with continued focus on biological applications. Volume 1 Key features: Organised and centred around analysis techniques not traditional Mechanics and E&M. Presents a unified approach in a different order meaning that the same laboratories equipment and demonstrations can be used when teaching the course. Demonstrates to students that the analysis and concepts they are learning are critical to the understanding of biological systems.
