Coupled Systems: Theory, Models, and Applications in Engineering (repost)




Coupled Systems: Theory, Models, and Applications in Engineering by Juergen Geiser


English | 2014 | ISBN: 1466578017 | 315 pages | PDF | 11,4 MB




Efficient Methods to Solve Complex Coupled Systems


Coupled Systems: Theory, Models, and Applications in Engineering explains how to solve complicated coupled models in engineering using analytical and numerical methods.




It presents splitting multiscale methods to solve multiscale and multiphysics problems and describes analytical and numerical methods in time and space for evolution equations arising in engineering problems.




The book discusses the effectiveness, simplicity, stability, and consistency of the methods in solving problems that occur in real-life engineering tasks. It shows how MATLAB® and Simulink® are used to implement the methods. The author also covers the coupling of separate, multiple, and logical scales in applications, including microscale, macroscale, multiscale, and multiphysics problems.




Covering mathematical, algorithmic, and practical aspects, this book brings together innovative ideas in coupled systems and extends standard engineering tools to coupled models in materials and flow problems with respect to their scale dependencies and their influence on each time and spatial scale.












DNA Analysis for Missing Person Identification in Mass Fatalities (repost)




DNA Analysis for Missing Person Identification in Mass Fatalities by Amanda C Sozer


English | 2014 | ISBN: 1466513845 | 332 pages | PDF | 5 MB




Advances in DNA technology have expanded such that forensic DNA profiling is now considered a routine method for identifying victims of mass fatalities. Originating from an initiative funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of State, DNA Analysis for Missing Person Identification in Mass Fatalities presents a collection of training modules that supply comprehensive instruction in these complex techniques.


The book begins with a concise overview of DNA analysis methods and their use in identifying victims of mass fatalities. It then goes on to explore:


• Mass fatality response operations, including body recovery, mortuary operations, family assistance, the identification of human remains, and psychosocial support for families


• Best practices in DNA sample collection and the different types of reference samples that can be used to identify a reported missing (RM) individual


• Autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profile analysis and interpretation, and procedures to ensure data accuracy


• Major steps involved in generating a DNA profile and the complex aspects of data analysis and interpretation


• The importance of data management using information technology tools, and tips for maintaining quality operations


• Accreditation and standards and the major elements of a DNA quality program


• Setting up a laboratory operation, including planning, staffing, identifying types of equipment and supplies, and the procedures for ensuring that laboratory equipment performs appropriately


The book includes a discussion of the key steps in the preparation, delivery, and evaluation of training sessions for personnel responding to a mass fatality human identification event. It also provides a comprehensive vocabulary list with terms related to mass fatality DNA identification. This text is a must-read for organizations contemplating the use of DNA in human identification initiatives following mass fatalities. It is also a tremendous value to emergency manager/planners, medical legal authorities, and forensic DNA laboratories.
