Description

Introduction to Photonic and Phononic Crystals and Metamaterials, by Arthur R. McGurn, presents a study of the fundamental properties of optical and acoustic materials which have been of recent interest in nanoscience and device technology.?The level of the presentations is appropriate for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and researchers not directly involved in the field. References are given to guide the reader to more advanced study in these fields.
Discussions of the physics of photonic and phononic crystals focus on the transmission properties of optical and acoustic radiation arising from their diffractive interaction in these engineered materials. The frequency transmission and non-transmission bands of radiation are explained in terms of the symmetry properties of the photonic and phononic artificial crystal structures. Basic applications of these properties to a variety of their technological applications are examined.
The physics of metamaterials is discussed along with their relationships to the ideas of resonance. Properties of negative index of refraction, perfect lens, and unusual optical effects the new optics of metamaterial media makes available are examined. Related effects in acoustics are also covered.
Basic principles of surface acoustic and electromagnetic waves are explained. These form an introduction to the fundamental ideas of the recently developing fields of plasmonics and surface acoustics.

Description

Machine Learning Guide for Oil and Gas Using Python: A Step-by-Step Breakdown with Data, Algorithms, Codes, and Applications?delivers a critical training and resource tool to help engineers understand machine learning theory and practice, specifically referencing use cases in oil and gas. The reference moves from explaining how Python works to step-by-step examples of utilization in various oil and gas scenarios, such as well testing, shale reservoirs and production optimization. Petroleum engineers are quickly applying machine learning techniques to their data challenges, but there is a lack of references beyond the math or heavy theory of machine learning.?Machine Learning Guide for Oil and Gas Using Python?details the open-source tool Python by explaining how it works at an introductory level then bridging into how to apply the algorithms into different oil and gas scenarios. While similar resources are often too mathematical, this book?balances theory with applications, including use cases that help solve different oil and gas data challenges.

Description

Excel is the most popular and widely used productivity software in all business environments, and it is an irreplaceable companion in ordinary work as in the analysis of large amounts of complex data. Nevertheless, the majority of users knows and uses only a very limited number of features, often in an elementary way. This workbook shows in practice the use of a wide variety of formulas, func-tions and features (like charts, pivot tables, macros or the Solver add-in) that allow to effectively and professionally work with Excel. The workbook starts with the basics and gets progressively to deal with very com-plex cases. It is a valuable support for college students, professionals and manag-ers who want to learn the basics or to improve the knowledge of Excel up to an advanced level. DigitaBook format includes the digital edition of the book with all the initial and solved fi les available to carry out the exercises and check the solutions. Over 80 exercises are commented, to highlight the basic concepts and clarify the most complex ones.
