Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Engineering explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various facets of chemical engineering. The book introduces historical information, highlights current state and trends in AI applications, and discusses challenges and opportunities within the field. Foundational principles of AI and machine learning are thoroughly covered, giving readers a solid understanding of basic AI principles, machine learning algorithms, and the crucial processes of model training and validation. The book then delves into the critical phase of data acquisition and preprocessing for AI models, addressing strategies for data collection, ensuring data quality, and techniques for feature engineering and selection.Subsequent chapters cover a wide spectrum of AI applications in chemical engineering. From supervised and unsupervised learning for process modeling to the advanced realm of deep learning applications, this book explores neural networks, convolutional and recurrent architectures, and their real-world applications in process optimization and analysis.Navigates the dynamic intersection of AI and chemical engineering, covering ethical considerations, interdisciplinary applications, and AI's impact on safety, sustainability, and innovationBridges the gap between policy and implementation of AI in chemical engineering, facilitating a harmonious integration of AI technologies and fostering responsible and effective use within the chemical engineering industryOffers a forward-looking approach to guide professionals, researchers, and students in navigating the dynamic and transformative future of AI in chemical engineering

Electric Circuits provides thorough coverage of circuit analysis and circuit theory. It presents key concepts in a natural progression, helping you build on your knowledge steadily. Step-by-step analysis methods provide a solid foundation for you to develop your problem-solving skills. Over 1200 problems and nearly 200 examples introduce realistic engineering experiences that prepare you to develop the insights of a practicing engineer. The 12th Edition includes all new assessment problems with answers. Assessment problems give you a chance to reflect on the material and test how well you know key concepts. Completely updated end-of-chapter problems offer even more opportunities for you to problem solve and practice.

Electronics Fundamentals is more than a textbook: it's a hands-on electronics teaching system. The text provides both practical and theoretical coverage of electrical, magnetic and electronics concepts. Practical circuits, examples and troubleshooting exercises will help you develop useful analysis skills for resistive, reactive and device circuits.The 9th Edition preserves the legacy of the 8th Edition while updating its content. Fully revised simulation circuits and tutorials, as well as a laboratory manual, supplement the text. A new tutorial illustrates how to use TI-84 and HP Prime calculators to analyze circuits similar to those in the textbook.

"Many workers believe that to compete with other top talent they must embrace a culture that rewards long hours and constant connection to work. Businesses and society have encouraged this by endorsing busyness, overwork, and extreme commitment as the most valued traits in workers. Sometimes that endorsement is explicit, as when Elon Musk told Twitter employees to work "long hours at high intensity" or get fired. But more often it's an implicit contract, a buildup of organizational and cultural norms and the adoption of new technologies that increasingly make it easy to tether people to work. Either way, this workaholic behavior is unhealthy and counterproductive for workers and for organizations. It's time to fight back. Malissa Clark, the preeminent researcher on workaholic culture, shows you how in Never Not Working. Finally, a book that looks at overwork and burnout not just from the individual's perspective but from an organizational perspective, too. Clark delivers a comprehensive, nuanced definition of workaholism, busting myths along the way-such as the idea that the number of hours worked is the strongest predictor of workaholic tendencies. (It's not.) She also helps you see if you're creating workaholics in your organization or if you're falling prey to the phenomenon yourself. Clark shows you how to escape the trap of putting work at the center of everything and thus losing your well-being-or your company's performance, in the process. Deeply researched and written for everyone from leaders to individual contributors, Never Not Working is the essential guide to identifying workaholism in yourself and others and starting on the road to recovery"--

Richard A. Muller demonstrated in his recent bestseller, Physics for Future Presidents, that he has a unique talent for delivering the “aha” moment—making difficult topics accessible. In The Instant Physicist he shows his ability to entertain, too, by presenting the best of the scientific curiosities he has assembled over his distinguished career. Assisted by award-winning cartoonist Joey Manfre, who has created an original color cartoon for each “physics bite,” Muller will have readers chuckling while they’re absorbing more science than they ever thought possible. From the surprising (chocolate has more energy in it than TNT) to the scary (even kids can make a bomb), this book contains a revelation on every page. Once finished with this page-turner, readers will be the stars of their next cocktail party.The book consists of a color cartoon on each right-hand page and explanatory text on the left.

Winner of the National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Noonday Demon examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. Drawing on his own struggles with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, doctors and scientists, policy makers and politicians, drug designers and philosophers, Andrew Solomon reveals the subtle complexities and sheer agony of the disease.He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations -- around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. With uncommon humanity, candor, wit, and erudition, award-winning author Solomon takes readers on a journey of incom-parable range and resonance into the most pervasive of family secrets. His contribution to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition is truly stunning.

"If you've struggled with anxiety, you know how confusing and overwhelming it can be. Even small things can trigger anxious feelings that can soon overtake you and cause you to struggle with the most simple daily tasks. But it doesn't have to be that way! Psychiatrist and YouTube influencer Dr. Tracey Marks will help you understand how and why anxiety occurs, and how you can take charge of your mental health to create a plan that will empower you to take back control of your life." -- Provided by publisher.
