Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry

Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry

When confronted with a problem in science the way to proceed is not always obvious. The problem may seem intractable or there may be many possible solutions with some better than others. Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry teaches students how to analyze and solve real-world problems that occur in an environmental context and it encourages creativity in developing solutions to situations based on events that have actually taken place. The problems described in this book are relevant and stimulating in learning and understanding the principles of green and sustainable chemistry. They address various aspects of the field including: Toxicity Waste generation and disposal Chemical accidents Energy efficiency New policy development The final chapter contains proposed solutions to the presented problems and provides commentaries and references to relevant literature. This book also prompts students to become more comfortable with the idea of multiple correct answers to problems. It emphasizes the reality that green chemistry is about making practical decisions and weighing multiple factors that are often conflicting thus making it difficult or impossible to apply one perfect solution to a given situation. Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry prepares students to solve challenging problems whether as green chemists as architects designing energy-efficient buildings or as environmentally-conscious citizens.

Pattern Language for Game Design

Pattern Language for Game Design

Chris Barney’s Pattern Language for Game Design builds on the revolutionary work of architect Christopher Alexander to show students teachers and game development professionals how to derive best practices in all aspects of game design. Using a series of practical rigorous exercises designers can observe and analyze the failures and successes of the games they know and love to find the deep patterns that underlie good design. From an in-depth look at Alexander’s work to a critique of pattern theory in various fields to a new approach that will challenge your knowledge and put it to work this book seeks to transform how we look at building the interactive experiences that shape us. Key Features: Background on the architectural concepts of patterns and a Pattern Language as defined in the work of Christopher Alexander including his later work on the Fifteen Properties of Wholeness and Generative Codes. Analysis of other uses of Alexander’s work in computer science and game design and the limitations of those efforts. A comprehensive set of example exercises to help the reader develop their own patterns that can be used in practical day-to-day game design tasks. Exercises that are useful to designers at all levels of experience and can be completed in any order allowing students to select exercises that match their coursework and allowing professionals to select exercises that address their real-world challenges. Discussion of common pitfalls and difficulties with the pattern derivation process. A guide for game design teachers studio leaders and university departments for curating and maintaining institutional Pattern Languages. An Interactive Pattern Language website where you can share patterns with developers throughout the world (patternlanguageforgamedesign. com). Comprehensive games reference for all games discussed in this book. Author Chris Barney is an industry veteran with more than a decade of experience designing and engineering games such as Poptropica and teaching at Northeastern University. He has spoken at conferences including GDC DevCom and PAX on topics from core game design to social justice. Seeking degrees in game design before formal game design programs existed Barney built his own undergraduate and graduate curricula out of offerings in sociology computer science and independent study. In pursuit of a broad understanding of games he has worked on projects spanning interactive theater live-action role-playing game (LARP) design board games and tabletop role-playing games (RPGs). An extensive collection of his essays of game design topics can be found on his development blog at perspectivesingamedesign. com.

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables is designed for graduate students and researchers in the behavioral social health and medical sciences. It incorporates examples of truncated counts censored continuous variables and doubly bounded continuous variables such as percentages. The book provides broad but unified coverage and the authors integrate the concepts and ideas shared across models and types of data especially regarding conceptual links between discrete and continuous limited dependent variables. The authors argue that these dependent variables are if anything more common throughout the human sciences than the kind that suit linear regression. They cover special cases or extensions of models estimation methods model diagnostics and of course software. They also discuss bounded continuous variables boundary-inflated models and methods for modeling heteroscedasticity. Wherever possible the authors have illustrated concepts models and techniques with real or realistic datasets and demonstrations in R and Stata and each chapter includes several exercises at the end. The illustrations and exercises help readers build conceptual understanding and fluency in using these techniques. At several points the authors bring together material that has been previously scattered across the literature in journal articles software package documentation files and blogs. These features help students learn to choose the appropriate models for their purpose.

Problem Solving for Engineers

Problem Solving for Engineers

Whatever their discipline engineers are routinely called upon to develop solutions to all kinds of problems. To do so effectively they need a systematic and disciplined approach that considers a range of alternatives taking into account all relevant factors before selecting the best solution. In Problem Solving for Engineers David Carmichael demonstrates just such an approach involving problem definition generation of alternative solutions and ultimately the analysis and selection of a preferred solution. David Carmichael introduces the fundamental concepts needed to think systematically and undertake methodical problem solving. He argues that the most rational way to develop a framework for problem solving is by using a systems studies viewpoint. He then outlines systems methodology modeling and the various configurations for analysis synthesis and investigation. Building on this the book details a systematic process for problem solving and demonstrates how problem solving and decision making lie within a systems synthesis configuration. Carefully designed as a self-learning resource the book contains exercises throughout that reinforce the material and encourage readers to think and apply the concepts. It covers decision making in the presence of uncertainty and multiple criteria including that involving sustainability with its blend of economic social and environmental considerations. It also characterizes and tackles the specific problem solving of management planning and design. The book provides for the first time a rational framework for problem solving with an engineering orientation.
