The demands of the modern economic climate have led to a dramatic increase in the industrial application of model-based predictive control. Apart from PID, predictive control is probably the most popular control approach in use today. Predictive functional control (PFC) was first used to develop a model-based predictive controller that was easy to understand, implement and tune from an instrumentation engineer's perspective. In the forty years since, there have been thousands of successful applications of PFC controllers in a large and diverse group of industries. Predictive Functional Control provides readers with: a fundamental understanding of the principles associated with PFC; the basic PFC control equations to be implemented in all programmable logic controllers or digital control systems in block programming form; and tuning rules and implementation procedures. Some new features arising from the needs of the process industries are reported along with many examples of industrial applications.

Manufacturing is the basic industrial activity generating real value. Cutting and abrasive technologies are the backbone of precision production in machine, automotive and aircraft building as well as of production of consumer goods. We present the knowledge of modern manufacturing in these technologies on the basis of scientific research. The theory of cutting and abrasive processes and the knowledge about their application in industrial practice are a prerequisite for the studies of manufacturing science and an important part of the curriculum of the master study in German mechanical engineering. The basis of this book is the lecture Basics of cutting and abrasive processes (4 semester hours/3 credit hours) at the Leibniz University Hannover, which was offered to the diploma and master students specializing in manufacturing science.

What is for a professional pilot required to fly as safe as possible? Written by pilots the book gives a detailed introduction into the basics of accident prevention in air traffic.

El presente libro trata sobre las turbinas de gas y los turbocompresores. Son estos dos elementos fundamentales para el desarrollo de un país o comunidad y ningún país podrá llamarse de primera fila si no atiende adecuadamente a estas materias tanto en su vertiente de fabricacion como en la de mantenimiento. Ademas de contener las bases teoricas que permiten el dominio sobre turbinas de gas el libro trata tambien a las tecnologias y materiales utilizados a lo largo del tiempo hasta llegar a los mas modernos. No se olvidan las tecnicas operativas y de mantenimiento que distinguen la correcta conservacion de estos aparatos a lo largo de su vida util ni la importancia de los quemadores y los combustibles, asi como su efecto sobre la contaminacion atmosferica.

Morphing Aerospace Vehicles and Structures provides a highly timely presentation of the state-of-the-art, future directions and technical requirements of morphing aircraft. Divided into three sections it addresses morphing aircraft, bio-inspiration, and smart structures with specific focus on the flight control, aerodynamics, bio-mechanics, materials, and structures of these vehicles as well as power requirements and the use of advanced piezo materials and smart actuators. The tutorial approach adopted by the contributors, including underlying concepts and mathematical formulations, unifies the methodologies and tools required to provide practicing engineers and applied researchers with the insight to synthesize morphing air vehicles and morphing structures, as well as offering direction for future research.

"Stepped-up competition in the airline industry over the past 40 years profoundly changed how carriers set fares. Chapters in this volume contribute to our understanding of fare determination in this industry by examining carrier pricing behavior, such as non-linear pricing, pricing decisions associated with strategic alliances, competition from low cost carriers, and the challenges faced by carriers experiencing financial distress. These contributions present nuanced analyses of fare determination that include new ways of examining whether the prices charged by carriers are consumer welfare-enhancing. Examination of airline carrier pricing only tells part of the story of firm behavior, as analysis of carriers¿ ability to provide quality services is also significant in understanding the economics of this industry. This volume includes chapters examining non-price characteristics of business operations, such as frequency of service, passenger safety, availability of aircraft types for different transportation services, and the geographic distribution of air transportation-related noise by aircraft departures and arrivals at airports.

Environmental awareness is driven mainly by the scarcity of natural resources and by more strict legal regulations. The modern enterprise policy should look at the relations between economic actions and ecological consequences. Ecoproduction is a new business approach which focuses on the most efficient and productive use of raw materials and natural resources in order to minimize footprints on the natural environment. This book aims to provide the state- of- the- art as well as new ideas of the environmental conscious operations management. The contributors present in the individual chapters problems related to: eco-friendly production technologies; recycling and waste reduction. Scope of topics discussed in this book covers also pollution prevention, energy efficiency. The authors describe problems of information management in complex systems

Value stream mapping is an excellent method to give an overview to a company's management about its production, icluding processes, materail flow an information flow. This book gives detailed instructions how to use value stream mapping to analyse and optimize production in the right way, even in difficult cases. It is the first book, which describes the core method of lean production (=value stream mapping) in a very systematic way, not only like a picture book (=description too easy, real cases can't be solved) or a rough description of general procedure and goals. This systematic way gives nine guidelines which prescribe exactly how to transform production to lean principles. The book is written for management and planning engineers with the scope of production engineering and logistics on basic and advanced level.

La estratégica ubicación de Zaragoza dentro de la península ibérica, como punto de enlace entre la meseta y las regiones mediterráneas y pirenaicas ha permitido -primeramente con los aeródromos (Valdespartera, Sanjurjo y Valenzuela) y posteriormente con la construccion del aeropuerto- que su desarrollo haya estado intimamente ligado a la aviacion como nudo de comunicaciones con el resto de la nacion. Muchos han sido los avatares, no exentos de anecdotas, que desde los inicios de la aviacion, alla por el año 1910, han acontecido en la historia de su aeropuerto, siempre tan ligada a la de su base aerea. Su crecimiento ha sido pausado, pero continuo, centrado fundamentalmente en sus conexiones con Barcelona y Madrid. Poco a poco con el establecimiento de nuevas compañias aereas, el impulso economico que supuso para toda la region la ubicacion en Zaragoza de la Exposicion Internacional de 2008 y el desarrollo del transporte de mercancias por via aerea, han hecho que el futuro de este aeropuerto pueda verse con optimismo, gracias al apoyo y a la apuesta de Aena por esta infraestructura, asi como por el impulso que todas las autoridades y los ciudadanos de esta comunidad le prestan como importante motor economico de toda la region. El libro recoge toda una historia plagada de imagenes entrañables y datos interesantes que, sin duda, resultara de gran interes no solo para los amantes de la aviacion, sino tambien para todos los zaragozanos, ya que finalmente constituye una cronica de su propio devenir desde principios del pasado siglo a la actualidad.
